PaperTrail vs. SigningHub

It is very easy to use. We utilize it to save and show the logs for as many apps as we want. You can use it as an addon on Heroku.

SigningHub worked well for me for collecting digital signatures on contracts from independent contractors. It's well suited for both small businesses (like mine) and bigger businesses since you can create a specific workflow for each sort of document you upload. It's also great for storing the signed and master documents. However, it may not be appropriate in certain industries with specific data security rules. Check with the regulators of your industry before using (lawyers, I'm talking to you...)

• Interface is aging and in need of a re-write. It's functional, but not all that nice to work with
• While the logs are near-real-time, they could greatly improve the speed at which logs are available in the UI
• Pricing plans are not all that competitive with newer offerings with other companies

• I found setting up a workflow for each different document a little confusing.
• I'd get errors from time to time when prepping a document. This usually happened when I was inserting a date field or a signature field (which are fairly important fields for contracts).
• The one time I needed help and contacted the company, the representative made me feel like I was dumb.

PaperTrail has become a basic app for me to save and see app logs. It is very easy to use, very intuitive and easy to customize. The feature I like most is that we can use it with several apps at same time.

PaperTrail's live-tailing performance is adequate and searches over the recent history load quickly. Searching over long periods of time can be extremely slow, however.

I only used Logz.io for a very brief time. It seemed a bit more difficult to setup than Papertrail.

We have not used any other products, apart from SigningHub.

• Free plan is sufficient for development and small services, and the paid plans are very cheap at low log volume. For us, the price is right with PaperTrail - though I can't speak to how their pricing compares at very high volumes.
• Adding cloud-logging to your apps can really speed up development and debugging - the impact to engineering productivity cannot be understated.

Incentivized

• It was very affordable for a small business. I could use it for unlimited documents for a very modest monthly fee.
• It could handle an unlimited number of documents.
• Document retrieval is easy.
