Ignition vs. PandaDoc

It can be used to invoice for anyone, so I will always recommend it.

PandaDoc is well suited for companies that send proposals and terms and conditions to customers for collection of digital signatures. It really helps that you can templatize your documents and have collaborators help you finish the document for you. The dashboard is also a game changer as it gives you one place to view all your active documents and the status of them. You can even use this to collect payments as it integrates with software like QBO.

• Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter.
• Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal.
• Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place.

Incentivized

• Complex quoting.
• API integration for cross platform communication and automation.
• Easy signing experience.
• Easy user interface.
• Excellent engagement and willing to partner with clients.
• Fantastic training resources (1:1 sessions, webinars, micro-videos, on-demand, articles).
• Beautiful proposal designs.
• Integrations - HR, CRM, Payments, CRMs. (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zendesk, Greenhouse, Lever, etc).
• Online Notary.

• I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier.
• I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option.
• I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything.

Incentivized

• The table builder could be a little more robust.
• It can be difficult to figure out which token to use so it can grab the info from Hubspot
• It could offer better integration with meeting tools so you can go over proposals with clients.

The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor.

You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

• We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year.

• Time saved creating documents. Not copying that answer. I've said that several times in this review already
• IDK about increasing close rate, but customers certainly aren't afraid to click on a PandaDoc link or attachment
• Only miniscule, miniscule negative is that it isn't always instant
