It works great for us; we deal with contractors in different parts of the world and it has been perfect for securing e-signatures from them and having a signed contract that both parties have access to. I'm not sure where it would be less appropriate—perhaps when there are significant legal risks or something of that nature, but with the types of transactions we've been dealing with, it's been perfect.

great for sending out duplicate forms to clients that require a signature, this is fine when you do not have to keep changing details on the form. What is limited is if we need to change elements that need to be signed or remove elements as the original form is loaded up as a Word document or PDF. There are a variety of selection options to ensure that the data fields can be customized to font color and size number of characters etc.

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • I think the "prepare document" screen can be a little more user-friendly
  • A way to keep the documents organized a bit better on the documents screen
  • I would also love a way to keep the contacts organized--or to transfer contacts from our database to the site

  • Page and element spacing can sometimes be different than expected.
  • There should be more standardized fields for inserting into documents.

I have found it easy to use and self-explanatory from day one. I love how clear and easy it is to use since I am not techy!

Easy to understand supporting documents with a great search feature to easily find the information I need for legal purposes, API connections, how to connect Gmail or G Suite, along with the ability to send a message to them. They don't seem to have an online chat feature or a call option, but that's why it's so inexpensive. Since it's already easy to use, it takes less time to find out information.

Adobe Acrobat left me frustrated and annoyed. I was wasting hours each week trying to upload contracts and agreements and customize them for each client. It never sent right and ended up being more frustrating for us and our clients in the end. So I tested some other tools before coming across SignRequest in a Google search. I started with their free plan which offered so much for a small business owner. As our business grew, we upgraded and haven't looked back. From day one I've never had an issue with this tool and recommend it to anyone looking for an online easy to use software to manage signing documents and contracts

DocuSign seems to be more commonly used and often times clients will ask if we can use that as opposed to Zoho Sign.

  • Positive impact - able to complete onboarding process electronically rather than ask new employees to complete documents and scan them back
  • Negative impact - have heard from several employees that the UI makes it tedious to complete documents that have a lot of fields

  • Zoho Sign was far more affordable for the simple uses we need. It simplified our processes at a very affordable price.
