Additionally, users rely on DocuSign for both internal and external documentation needs, allowing for remote e-signatures. This is particularly beneficial for client success and sales teams who can easily sign new contracts and update existing ones.

Another valuable use case is the software's ability to serve as a centralized storage place for all important documents. With this feature, multiple parties can generate and sign documents, making collaboration seamless and efficient.

The product also provides a safe and secure environment for signing important documents such as contracts, agreements, and controlled documents like those in medical devices or legal contexts. Its ease of use across various devices makes it a popular choice among customers who frequently utilize it to send contracts or complete agreements remotely.

DocuSign CLM is a great way that is both safe and secure in signing important documents. Customers utilize DocuSign frequently to send over contracts. It's easy to use and can be done on virtually any device even while on the go.
  • Quick & Easy to Use.
  • Safe & Secure.
  • Fast & Efficient Way to Send and Sign Documents to Customers.
  • Eliminates the hassle of sifting through long contracts.
  • Can be difficult to edit documents.
  • Easy to miss where to initial or sign on certain documents and contracts.
  • Could be more user-friendly design wise.
Recently I had a customer that was out of the office but needed to sign a document while out-and-about. She pulled up the mobile version and signed the electronic contract and got it over to me within minutes. It provides a fast and effective way to sign important documents without any hassle.

Due to the pandemic situation, we needed to adapt to the new reality and ways of work. That's why we implemented Docusign in the organization in order to be able to move on with our internal requirements that in the past need a signature and the new reality. We use it mainly to sign internal documents.
  • To sign internal documents.
  • To sign external documents if allowed.
  • At the moment I'm pleased about all functionalities.
As mentioned in the initial question, we're being using it during the pandemic situation when all the employees were working from their homes. We needed to adapt and continue with the business and procedures so we found it very useful to sign internal documents to keep the evidence for internal audit for example. Also can be used for external documents as well (contracts with customers for example).

DocuSign CLM makes it easy to track contracts throughout that process. It's definitely an excellent solution for contract organization.
  • Contract organization
  • Helpful customer service
  • Contract tracking
  • A few user experience issues can be frustrating
  • Dates don't always appear correctly
  • Rollout seems to be challenging across teams
I think DocuSign CLM is well-suited in any situation where there is a complicated contract process that needs to be managed by more than one team.

We use DocuSign as a legal binding on an employee to agreements, on customers to get approval using any device. It helps to
- Setup processes fast.
- Is always available.
- Allows flexible workflows to automate any agreement and approval process.
- Instant visibility into document status.
- Full digital audit trail for easy compliance and legal enforceability.
  • Employee agreement e-signing.
  • Policy enforcement acceptance.
  • Esops/shares grants terms and conditions acceptance.
  • Can't save signature set -you have to insert each text or signature in each document.
  • Font based signature don't seem legit.
  • You cannot download all documents but one by one.
Best use :
- Employee agreements/offer letters, especially during the pandemic.
- Policy amendments and legal obligations.
- New joiners training completion.

Less appropriate :
- Either adapt fully or disregard.
-Dont use for partial agreements.
- Avoid using where government authorities are involved as they don't consider it as legal.
- Email aliases do not work with DocuSign.

We actually needed it when Covid happened and forced everyone to work from home - not that I'm complaining by any means, I love working from home. But ... our finance department and our contractors needed a legit form of signature to be able to process invoices and make payments. There are actually a lot of things that require legit signatures when dealing with our organization. This fit our need.
  • It's user friendly.
  • I've honestly never had an issue with the software.
  • We got a rep available if we ever had any issues which was nice.
  • I mean, it's a pretty easy and straightforward software. Use it when I need to sign a document for a vendor or invoice.
I only use it if a secure form of signature is required. Otherwise I just use Adobe Sign in the PDF. One has like a date/time stamp that cannot be edited, the other is like here you go it's my signature but not as formal.

I used DocuSign during my onboarding process. I didn't have to sign a physical document, scan it and send it over as everything could be done easily in DocuSign. So, it definitely saved a lot of time while giving a seamless experience.
  • Easy navigation.
  • Friendly Interface.
  • Upload feature is plus.
  • Took long time to respond when I used it last time. Might be internet issue but not sure.
  • Service and support can be improved.
Any organization that has a lot of contracts to manage can be benefitted from DocuSign. It was very easy to track my contracts when I used them. Also, it can save a lot of time during the contract lifecycle as many things are automated by it and it eliminates the need for human interference.

When we onboard new clients for long-term contracts, we use DocuSign CLM to send contracts and documents for signing which helps keep everything organized and on track. Previously, we didn't have a way of knowing which contracts have been signed and which contracts were not yet signed. Making the switch to DocuSign was a good option for the company to help keep up to date with pending documents.
  • Alerts when documents are signed
  • Notifications if customers don't complete any or all of their required tasks
  • Showing clients exactly where to sign
  • Making signing easy and fast
  • It could have been a little easier for customers that aren't in front of a computer
  • We received word from customers that they prefer a paper version
I've used DocuSign as a consumer as well as the company. When I purchased my house, pretty much all of the documents were signed electronically using DocuSign and the process was seamless. When we use this for the business, it helps a lot with the organization of documents and it ensures that documents are signed correctly to our specifications and in a timely manner.

We use DocuSign CLM to sign contracts with customers and sign paperwork with utility providers for incentives for our customers.
  • Email all details.
  • Follow-up emails after signatures received.
  • Lets you know if there is a signature missing.
  • So far, I wouldn't change a thing. Seems to work great for us.
We do lighting upgrades for commercial customers with incentives from utility companies. We use DocuSign to receive paperwork from the utility company, sign it and then the customer receives the paperwork (contract) and signs it. We then all get a copy with all signatures via email for our records.

We use DocuSign for both internal and external documentation needs. Internally, as we now work 100% remotely, we sign all documents via e-signature. Since I am running the client success and sales teams, we sign many new contracts and update the existing ones. DocuSign is so handy to do all those work. We also use DocuSign as a storage place for all important docs. DocuSign makes it so easy to generate a document to sign by multiple parties. It solves many problems but the biggest help is saving time and making sure that all is done in a secure way. I particularly enjoy using the templates, custom fields, and notifications. I recently discovered that it can be integrated with our CRM so we will move forward with more automation. Usually, our sales team uses the tool and it helps us close deals very quickly so that we can move with the implementation stage. I would suggest to new users to estimate which plan would work better for them and choose the right one. Our initial plan was not a good fit for us, we had to upgrade and the DocuSign team was helpful.
  • Generating a document for signing by multiple parties
  • Adding customization and branding for your organization to the documents
  • Creating templates for repeated uses
  • Sending documents for signature and setting notifications
  • Storage of signed documents
  • Checking status of signature
  • Increase sending limit for initial plans
  • Faster return for client service requests
  • When correcting a document, no new email is sent for notification of an update. The clients have to go back to the old document, and it feels uncomfortable for them.
A great solution to create a document to send for signature by multiple parties. Effectively used by sales teams to pass the initial contracting steps. Customizing some documents and adding branding of your organization. Creating your own templates for those documents you use often to save time. Storage of the documents signed by your team in one place - very convenient.

We use SpringCM as a contract repository and as a tracker for renewal/termination/expiration date tracker. It is used by the legal department but supports the entire organization. We had a problem locating contracts, determining which contracts were in effect and missing key renewal or termination deadlines.
  • You can easily find contracts once you put them in the system.
  • Can set up your own contract attributes.
  • Support is fantastic.
  • Does not automatically convert contracts into searchable text.
  • Need to manually set up reminders which leaves room for human error.
  • No easy way to see what terms we have agreed to in other contracts.
If you want to use SpringCM with Salesforce it seems like this program is perfect for that integration. If you want to use it as just a contract repository and/or reminder tracker, there are probably better options.
