I use HelloSign to send our clients a coaching agreement to fill in and e-Sign. It's effortless and straightforward to use. It's very convenient for interstate and overseas clients, no more emails, and scanning documents back and forth. It's easy to keep up with who has signed or not with the automated email reminders. It saves me a lot of time.
- Can use templates
- Can get multiple signatures on a document
- The UX could be improved

We use HelloSign to handle all our electronic signature processes, from employment agreements to legal contracts with vendors. We use it across our organization, and HelloSign is perfect for our needs as it allows 5 users for 1 monthly price (no per-user costs). We have a few core templates that we use repeatedly, such as an NDA, standard supplier agreements, etc.. Note that on the entry subscription package, you are limited to just 5 templates, which has been a problem in the past.
- Value for money is hard to beat.
- Portfolio of products allows for advanced integrations and implementations.
- Product failed and is now unusable.
- Customer support extremely slow (1 message per day).
- Admin panel UX didn't change in 3 years; some parts are not intuitive.

HelloSign filled a big need for us for our contract signing. We trialed 4 platforms and ultimately chose HelloSign. We used the program until we were introduced to a full CRM program that fit our needs more comprehensively (contracts plus payment processing and more). Until that time, HelloSign met our needs in ways we didn't even know was possible. Our internal sales team used it daily. It allowed us to have customized contracts in a user-friendly platform with legally binding signatures.
- Customized contracts--add your verbiage, along with fields that need to be completed by the signer
- Cost effective
- It would be helpful if HelloSign had integrations with a payment processing program (like Square or Stripe), so payments could be collected at the time of contract signing.

We use HelloSign's document signing functionality to digitally sign contracts, NDAs, and other legal documents. Our entire organization - sales, HR, accounting, etc. - uses this system to send and sign documents from 3rd parties. Since we do business in multiple cities and countries, digital signing makes it easy for us to keep things legally organized and simple.
- Reducing paper consumption.
- Legally binding documents, so there's no legal grey area.
- Their mobile app isn't easy to use.

HelloSign is used within my organisation to append signatures on contractual documents in digital form. From my personal experience, it is easy to use and our customers have rarely had any reservations about using HelloSign to sign documents. It has a mobile application, which makes it convenient to share digital contractual documents, likewise it works very well on mobile web browser and computer web browser.
It has overall sped up the process of signing contracts between my organisation and our customers.
It has overall sped up the process of signing contracts between my organisation and our customers.
- Notification: I love how quickly I receive notifications when a customer appends a contractual document I send them.
- Ease of use: HelloSign is very intuitive and this was very handy in my early days of using this program as a beginner, and it has also helped our customers too.
- The HelloSign application on iPad is very counter-intuitive. In truth, I have never been able to make my way around it.
- Acceptability amongst our customers is also a major issue, as there are still a few partner customers who have reservations about signing contracts digitally rather than physically.

We have used HelloSign in signing contracts remotely with clients across our sales department. HelloSign solves the problem of quickly having secured signed signatures with parties across the country from one another.
- Secure Signatures
- Security with making sure only the right person opens it
- Pricing

We use HelloSign as our main document signing tool in our business. Our primary use is for contracts with our clients or with independent contractors. We often work with clients out of state or out of the country and signing using traditional printed contracts would be very difficult. Even if a client is located near our office it is much more convenient for our records to use digital signatures. We are even able to use automation progress to automatically store copies for our records in the correct place every time. Our clients work in many different industries and aren't always comfortable with new technology. HelloSign is very intuitive and easy for our less technical clients to use.
- Signatures on mobile phones or tablets
- Integrations with Google drive and automation services
- Ease of use to e-sign signatures quickly.
- I don't think it makes sense to need an enterprise level plan for features like white labeling.
- Although easy to use for signatures, I think the templates section has been so simplified it makes it harder to use the first few times.
- I believe HelloSign has some information for industries that need extra protection, such as financial advisers, but it seems difficult to find now.
October 07, 2019
HelloSign is used on all contracts as well as an alternative to signing tax documents to avoid the use of fax machines. The integration with Google Drive makes it that much easier to get things signed without having to export to a certain format.
- The setup process is very quick for any document.
- Being able to upload a scanned signature to use on documents is great.
- Selecting which order to have a document signed is useful.
- Being able to schedule reminders to have a document signed would be helpful.
October 07, 2019
HelloSign is being used by HR, Finance, Facilities, and Technology. We use it within the organization to e-sign offer letters, personal action forms, etc. Externally we use it for contracts that require signing.
- User Friendly
- Good visual on flow of documents
- Easy to set up
- Right now it seems fine

The Sales and Customer Success teams use HelloSign to circulate order forms for signature, security documents, ESAs, etc. The program provides us with a simple and effective way to distribute documents for signature in a timely manner. We are also able to integrate the product with our Salesforce environment so that signed order forms are stored and linked to the specific account - helping us easily locate these documents in the future.
- Add custom lines for signature/text fields within an order form
- Email notifications to signers and senders - with copy of the current document and what steps are left
- Integration with Salesforce for saving order form/signed contracts
- Clear and easy identifiers for signature lines
- If there are multiple signers, the email notifications can become overkill
- Not a great deal of flexibility in editing the document once it has been sent
- Users find the reassigning confusing. I personally do not but some of my recipients have flagged this.
February 11, 2020
HelloSign is used mostly across our client facing departments like sales and customer success. HelloSign allows us first and foremost to save paper and space. It helps us do business faster, provide transparency, and easily keep the right people in the loop on specific deals. HelloSign also allows us to protect ourselves, from a legal perspective.
- Hellosign is relatively simple to create a document for signing
- Hellosign documents are easy to navigate and sign
- Hellosign could have more integrations
- Would be great to have Salesforce integration where you could attach it to an opportunity/account

We use HelloSign to easily manage confidentiality agreements as we prepare to launch new products. It is used across the whole organization. It provided the solution to our challenges around sending and editing documents that need to be extremely easy to create and extremely easy to capture signatures, so that we can then continue getting advice on our developing product.
- The interface is beautiful.
- It is highly intuitive both for creating signature fields and for the recipient, who needs to sign the document.
- It is significantly cheaper than competitors.
- It could always be even cheaper!
- That's really the only thing. I don't have any real complaints about the product. It is a laser focused solution and I think it would lose some of its appeal if it added on other features.

We use it in the Customer Success department. We are sending out all of our very important documents to our customers via HelloSign. I believe there are a couple of other departments using this tool such HR, Billing and Sales. We used to have DocuSign but it was replaced with HelloSign more than a year ago.
- Integrates with our CRM
- Notifications (sometimes a bit too many notifications)
- Seamless signing process experience.
- Being able to edit the document that was sent. Example: If we need to change the signee etc.
We currently use HelloSign to send out documents for signature to employees and external contacts, as well as use the Chrome extension to sign documents sent to us via email. It is currently being used by some of our management team but is not used by the entire company. We have an account that supports 10 licenses (7 or 8 of which we are currently using).
- Create document templates for completion and signature.
- Storage on HelloSign with the ability to download as needed.
- Chrome extension that allows documents to be signed directly from emails.
- More flexibility in the template creation platform.
- Better functioning Chrome extension (it occasionally stops working).
We use HelloSign to send out documents that need to be signed by staff members. Our HR department uses it for all staff. Prior to HelloSign, we would have staff physically sign documents that needed signatures. It was a very time-consuming process and resulted in delays in getting documents processed. Now, HelloSign allows for quick and easy signing.
- Very easy to learn how to send out documents to sign.
- Very easy for staff to sign the documents, rarely do we get questions on that.
- There are different fields to choose from when setting up the document to be sent out such as text, date, and signature. So, it can also be used as a form to be filled out (not just signature).
- When a document needs to be changed after it has been sent out, you are not able to go into the existing signing invitation to change the document (even if the document hasn't been signed yet) so as a result, you need to cancel that invite and create a new one.
- It would be helpful if it would identify which documents have been downloaded after they have been signed.
- After sending out a document to be signed, it would be helpful to be able to change the signing authorities. For example, if I, first of all, designate "Joe Smith" to sign a field, but later learn that "Jack Smith" was supposed to sign, it would be nice if I could just change that without having to cancel and resend.

I use HelloSign in my solo-preneur business. I use it to easily, efficiently, and safely have on-boarding contracts signed by my clients.
- Makes editing and sending contracts very simple.
- Allows my clients to securely and easily sign the contract needed to work with me.
- Makes signing up to work with me hassle free- which means more sales :)
- HelloSign could use some more formatting or design features that the user can control to make his or her document a little prettier.
- It could be slightly more user-friendly, as sometimes the boxes are hard to move around.
- I would like to see a few more options for editing the contract right in HelloSign.

HelloSign is used to generate electronic NDAs and sales agreements that customers can review and sign online without having to download or print documents. It's used by the Sales organization for contracting.
- It's really easy to create a contract or contract template. Simply upload your Word document and identify which areas each party should sign. The templates work great because you can modify and reuse standard contracts.
- e-Signature is great. You can choose an e-signature or use your finger (or e-pen/stylus if your computer has one) to sign your signature. The signature can be saved and reused on future contracts.
- The notifications are great. You get a notification once the other party has signed and everyone gets a notification with a copy of the contract once all required parties have signed the document. You don't have to worry about final distribution. It's great.
- If you're low volume the free version of HelloSign allows you to send 3 documents per month.
- I wish you could customize the sender address. I always send the HelloSign sender info in advance to prospects to whitelist before I send the contracts. I'm always worried that the emails will get caught in spam filters -- hasn't happened yet. It would be nice if I could set up some sort of email relay.
- It would be nice to be able to set up folders to organize documents in HelloSign. My workaround is to store and organize the final signed documents elsewhere.

HelloSign has presented my organization with a simpler, faster and cost-effective way to assign an official signature to documents. Convenience is a key part of using HelloSign as it can be used on the computer and there is on the go support via its mobile app.
- HelloSign has a reliable notification system, which keeps me abreast of each action taken by all parties during the process of signing a document. This ensures I know when I am required to take action and put pressure on the necessary parties to take action on documents.
- Data Security. HelloSign encrypts all data exchanged over the HelloSign platform, ensuring that sensitive data is safe from unauthorized third person access.
- HelloSign integrates with a broad range of business tools used by organizations. In my own case, it integrates with Drive, which is the cloud storage platform used for securely saving files in my organization. Therefore, making it a simple process to backup signed documents in the cloud.
- I would like to have customization control over the type of notifications I receive from HelloSign. I get too many notifications from this software vendor that I have sometimes missed important emails from them because I thought it was their usual marketing newsletters.
- Obviously, HelloSign has been rejected by some of our clients as a legally binding way to sign documents. While this is a hurdle we encounter while using HelloSign, it is in no way the fault of HelloSign but rather a problem of accepting a newer way of doing things, which is a prevalent bottleneck in developing economies.

I use HelloSign mainly to sign W-9 tax forms sent to me by clients via email. I don't own a printer. I don't have stamps or envelopes. I also don't want to go out of my way to obtain these items, save and print the document at a FedEx Office, fill out and sign the W-9, stuff it in an envelope, stamp it up, and then head over to the post office to send it back to my client. Why do all that when I can simply fill out the form online, save it as a PDF, upload it to HelloSign, slap on my signature and the date, save that version to my laptop, and then email the completed document to my client.
- The absolute best part is being able to use a signature that you scanned with your phone, then upload to your account.
- The second best is being able to resize your perfect signature, especially when the signature line is super-short.
- And of course, if you don't have a lot of things to sign, the free pages per month is pretty good to have.
- I would like to have more free pages per month to sign. Ten would be great. I don't use HelloSign a lot, so I can't justify paying for a monthly plan.
- The date entry is a bit touchy; something should be done to make it less so.
- Since I sign in with my Google account, the login page sometimes won't let me sign in with said account. Not sure what the bug is there, but it needs to be squashed.

HelloSign is my go-to service for getting e-signatures on project contracts. As a freelancer, I need a e-signing solution that's easy for me to set up (uploading PDF contracts/proposals and designating the signature and date area), keeps me informed (lets me know when the document has been viewed, and then again once it's signed), and is easy for my clients to use (they're emailed a link which they can click on desktop or mobile to sign).
- HelloSign's online dashboard for managing contracts is nicely designed. As a designer myself, I greatly appreciate services that have a great interface and are easy to use.
- HelloSign's email notifications are perfect. As long as the document has been delivered to my client but hasn't been signed, I'll receive a daily email letting me know the document was sent out and is still waiting to be signed.
- HelloSign adds a "Audit Trail" page to the final signed PDF. On it they list the dates and times when the document was sent, viewed, and signed (including the IP for each person performing the actions). Love this feature.
- I've yet to run into an issue with HelloSign or find anything that's in need of improvement. For my basic e-signing needs, HelloSign is perfect.

This software has proven to be the most convenient tool for making e-signatures easily. We are now able to make signatures through our mobile phones which means we don’t need to be present in the office all the time.
- Makes digital signatures easily.
- Provides document notifications.
- Tracks, sends and receives signatures easily.
- The trial version is limited to just 3 users at a time.
- Sometimes emails sent with documents attached end up in the spam folder.
- The stray clicks on the mouse end with incorrect placements of signatures in the document.

We use HelloSign within every facet of our company. Our sales floor uses HelloSign to send agreements to new customers and our customer service department uses HelloSign to retrieve contact information and send contracts upon request to existing customers. HelloSign makes it easy for us to receive signed agreements from new customers without needing to have them mailed.
- The best part of HelloSign is that it integrates with our CRM. We are able to have the system auto-populate fields in the contract, based on what is written in their file.
- HelloSign is particularly easy to use compared to other document signing services. Clients rarely have a hard time figuring out how to sign the agreement. And they also have the option to type in their name, rather than try a signature.
- I like the ability to store different contract templates. It makes it extremely easy for us to send contracts for different services without needing to re-write on the spot.
- When you first sign in to HelloSign, it automatically has you on a view of *only* the agreements that *you* sent. It can get frustrating since most of the time, I need to view contracts sent by other people. Not just myself. I think it would be smarter to start on the *all* section, rather than the person section. Considering your personal contracts will appear in search as well. But, obviously, this is an extremely nitpicky complaint.
- There have been a few times when the integration has gone down. I would say that within the last year of using HelloSign, our integration with our CRM has crashed three times. Which may not seem like a lot. But it pretty much puts our sales floor offline.
- When we first signed up for HelloSign, the contracts would import a copy directly into their file in our CRM. Unfortunately, due to safety precautions, this benefit has gone away. I would hope that maybe someday this could return because it was extremely helpful.

I am a one-person shop, so I guess you could say it's used across my whole organization! I love HelloSign because it makes signing contracts much easier. Before I found HelloSign, I'd have to ask clients to fax back contracts or send them via snail mail. HelloSign takes all the extra effort, time, and cost out of contracts!
- Allows for a signing hierarchy--namely, I can decide who signs first, second, etc.
- Allows labels to be added to text boxes to capture additional information such as business name, address, and phone number.
- Keeps me updated as to my document's status. I know when a client looks at it and when a signing task is completed. Peace of mind!
- Although I'm not using it currently, I like that I can create templates. That will be my next step with HelloSign.
- It would be great if the editor could include lines to help with the placement of signing boxes, etc.
- Allow for more than 3 free documents.
- Provide a tier between free and $15 per month.
I use HelloSign all the time, whether I need to sign something or a group of people need to. It's the easiest of the esig tools to use and allows me to share or have others sign in seconds. My favorite part about it is that it does its job, it's not glitchy, and saves me time.
- Easy to use
- Saves me time
- Gets the job done
- Can't really think of anything
July 19, 2018
I use HelloSign for my client contracts and releases for my photography business. It makes it so easy for my clients and I to read and legally e-sign the agreement, and makes my processes so much more efficient. Worth every penny!
- Easy to use software
- Upload and prepare documents for signing, dating, initials, etc.
- I LOVE that HelloSign automatically directs the process flow of who needs to sign, flows to the next person, and sends the signed contract via email immediately after it is complete.
- I wish I could create email templates since I send the same info in the message when sending the contract
