What is DocuSign?
DocuSign states its mission is to accelerate business and simplify life for companies and people around the world.
DocuSign helps organizations connect and automate how they prepare, sign, act on, and manage agreements. As part of the DocuSign Agreement Cloud, DocuSign offers eSignature to sign electronically on practically any device, from almost anywhere, at any time.
Legacy, paper-based agreement processes are manual, slow, expensive, and error-prone. So DocuSign aims to eliminate the paper, automate the process, and connect it to all the other systems that businesses are already using.
The vendor states their platform has 350+ prebuilt integrations with popular business apps. In addition, its API enables embedding and connecting DocuSign with customers’ websites, mobile apps, and custom workflows. They boast more than 500,000 customers and hundreds of millions of users in over 180 countries, using DocuSign to accelerate the process of doing business and to simplify people's lives.

Document Signing software at its best...
- Allows signatures to be collected from all over and not just one location
- Speeds up document turn overs when there is a time crunch
- Allows privacy when needed
- We have been seeing a lot of concern in the "running out of envelope" feature; this is not real clear to most that there is a limit to how many documents can be sent out
- I would like the option to purchase more envelopes to be more attainable
- Can be confusing at times if you are just starting this program
- Electronic signature is good
- Customer service
- Dark Ux patterns when you go to unsubscribe
- Account management
DocuSign
- poor customer support
- poor plans for the average consumer
- bait and switch
- poor management and lack of customer appreciation
- zero respect for their customers
- was lied to directly
- It's been a terrible experience so far
- The core product is okay (not great) but the service and pricing are terrible
- We were constantly passed around between service reps for even the simplest queries. For example, I told them I'm on a web plan and need to upgrade to a corporate plan and they routed me to a new customer AE who only realized after 2 discovery calls and many emails that I had a web plan already, at which point he told me I had to restart the whole process
- Calls wouldn't be returned and reps would miss scheduled meetings. Booked at 10 am meeting and completely ghosted
- Next steps/plans would be agreed on and then we would receive an email a day later doing the exact opposite of what we discussed
- This was all happening while we had an issue with our existing plan so clearly, there was no respect for customer urgency. I could keep going because the list of service issues is honestly too long to write
- On top of horrible service, they are by far the highest option out of any other companies we spoke to (Adobe, HelloSign, etc.). This is a legacy business going downhill fast and I encourage you to stay far away.
- Easily send documents for signature.
- Notifications of signed documents.
- Sending reminders for signature.
- Pricing - I'll get into this more later.
- Support - not always great response times.
- Flexibility - not a lot of room for customization.
DocuSign will change your life! AMAZING!
- bank grade security.
- World class mobile experience.
- The turn around time is unreal, instant access.
- Invalid signature.
- Sometimes Docusign needs your location.
- Sometimes Docusign wont send back to originator right away.
DocuSign Subscription Process Seems to be a Big Fail, They Seem to Make it Hard to Unsubscribe on Purpose
- Signing forms is easy
- Easy to email forms for signature
- Signed forms are accepted by the Government as official
- The subscription model is poor
- Needs to offer better one-off solutions
- Canceling billing is a ridiculous process
Very disappointing experience
I keep getting errors when I try to upgrade my account. I tried contacting support... it's hard to imagine how their support staff gets away with their behavior. In my experience, useless replies, if they even bother to reply, then they close the chat halfway through. It's really, really bad. Incredibly disappointing.
- Promoting themselves.
- Providing bad support.
- Having bugs.
- Awful customer support.
- Bugs
- No way to close account.
- Did I mention awful customer support?
DocuSign is your ticket for digital transformation
- Easy to manage, super easy to see the status of each one of your Envelopes in the manage tab
- The certificate of completion. This is a legally binding document that shows date/time stamp, name of signer, email and IP address. Pretty nice to have an enforceable document housed with all of your contracts in one place.
- The correct feature. This feature can save you from wasting an 'Envelope' which are pricey. If you aren't familiar with that feature you really should, it could save you time, money and frustration.
- Support team is not super helpful. Most of the time it's just a link to an article that they send you that doesn't address the issue. All the while you've searched Google before contacting support with no luck in finding the answer.
- Shuffling of Account Managers, some consistency with one sales team over a longer period would be nice. Instead, it's a constant shuffle of new people and it's very easy to get mixed messaging, getting contacted back and misalignment of prior sales team and new sales team at DocuSign.
- Easy to send documents for signature and notify other parties when the document is sent as well as when the document has been signed.
- The comment and notes section is something we rely on, so the signer knows what they are signing and that it's been reviewed by our legal and finance teams.
- I honestly haven't noticed anything additional that I would request from DocuSign. I use DocuSign at least 10+ times per day and have not had a glitch or issue yet.
Helps me stay organized and efficient
- Clear on where to sign
- Easy to access

- Bigger Page to express being DONE
DocuSign makes work easy

DocuSign Will Save You Time
- Ease of signature collection effort (fewer steps, fewer location/technology/knowledge requirements)
- Speed of signature collection (from transmission to signature to receipt of signature)
- Ease of user account management (administrative function)
- Tracking, particularly when collecting signatures through connected applications, such as an ATS, is not always clean or easily traceable.
- Formatting documents to handle electronic signature types (signatures, initials, etc.) is not always easy, and highly dependent on the partner's technology.
- It is not convenient to have to use DocuSign as a stand alone product if the signatures are required for 3rd party applications. It definitely excels on its own, but the scope of that usage, at least for us, is slim.
- Online training
- Sales- they call you and call you to see if there is anything they can do to get you to upgrade your account
- [In my experience] customer service is impossible to talk to. [I feel] there are way too many hoops to jump through before being able to contact someone.
- [I felt] it was near impossible to cancel or downgrade an account through customer service or the software, it [sent me] in loops and [didn't] work to cancel.
- Customer Service, [I feel], does not follow through with cancellations or downgrades even if they tell you it will be taken care of. I even got a phone call from the sales guy and I verified we didn't need it for a while. They told me it would be canceled but it wasn't.
- [In my experience] getting a refund for a charge they shouldn't have charged will take upwards of an hour and will require you to wait 10- 14 days plus your bank processing time to receive.
- interface with other products
- track signing
- my account was upgraded without my permission and a significantly higher rate auto debited from my account monthly
- when I called to inquire, the system would demand my account number before I could speak to a representative, shortly after a recording would come on and say that there was no one to answer my call. This happened at 9am, 10am and afternoon
- Going online to request tech support, you need to submit a ticket request. I tried this after not being able to reach anyone over the phone. A couple of things. 1. they make it overly complicated, obviously trying to detour folks from submitting a request. 2. when I found where to change my plan, the button was greyed out and I couldn't change my plan.
- 90% of what the website had listed under the support tab was password related. There wasn't anything about account questions. I was able to navigate through support questions to find how to "change my account". This doesn't straighten out the issue of the months I was being charged almost 3x what I had signed up for, but I'll see if I can waste more valuable time to figure that out later. For now, just trying to change my account back. The directions say that I need to go to account settings under the top navigation bar. I actually didn't have that option. The directions say that if you don't have that option then you're not the account owner. I am the only user, and the funds are coming out of my account monthly. Unbelievable. One might think that all of this is intentional on DocuSign's part.
DocuSign clearly the best... unlike my signature
A major goal of our company is to be as paperless as possible so DocuSign allows us the opportunity to work towards this goal by allowing documents to be signed electronically.
It also helps to prevent documents having to be printed out for signature and kept in a physical file folder or being lost/stolen/etc. Just safer to enable electronic signatures, especially with sensitive documents.
- Electronic signature
- Digital document management
- Seamless sharing and updating
- More flexibility with e-signature options
- Larger viewscreen so I can fully read a document before signing
DocuSign - quick, easy, and efficient!
