Pros and Cons

  • Contract management
  • Sales enablement
  • Follow-up on clients is easy
  • Integrate to Slack with Zapier for celebration of team-wins
  • Editing library items should affect the templates using them, so we could edit multible templates at once.

Pros and Cons

  • Ease of presentation online.
  • Reduces closing time.
  • Allows for ease of signature capture.
  • Storage and management of pending and closed proposals and contracts.
  • We have been with them since they were QuoteRoller. So we have seen tons of improvements. One of the issues is sometimes creating templates can be cumbersome. However, this functionality has drastically improved over the years.
  • Better phone ap for signature capture in the field.
  • Searching for docs in all windows has improved, but still needs improvment. Currently, the dashboard does not allow for search capabilities of the database. You must go into the documents database to search.

PandaDoc has made administration at my company so much easier.

Pros and Cons

  • The top strength for PandaDoc is its 24-hour support available by chat. If there's something I can't quite get figured out in the middle of the night - they are right there to help.
  • Legal client signatures and confirmations are all in one place. So I just have one place to go to reference data related to each client.
  • The biggest drawback is that the image library cannot be managed easily. You have to get to it you have to be editing a document. Images can't be tagged, and they can't be uploaded outside of a doc creation.
  • Another minor issue is that sometimes it's difficult to work with links.

Pros and Cons

  • Helps to produce fast and accurate quotes--once we have the correct information to fill in, we can make and send a great document in minutes.
  • PandaDoc lets you know when the person actually opens the document and tracks the time they spend on it so you know which parts people are paying attention to.
  • You can easily edit the document if changes are needed, and PandaDoc keeps track of the different versions so you can revisit old bids as well.
  • PandaDoc can automatically convert your document to a PDF; it does so without any input from a person and, as such, can make awkward page descriptions.
  • I find the tables in documents to be hard to fill in. You can't press "tab" to go to the next cell, but have to use a mouse.
  • There is a drag-and-drop feature for placing text, tables, images, etc. Overall it's good but at times it can be clunky.

  • Electronic Signature saves us a lot of time.
  • Templates and document editor are easy to use.
  • Easy to manage the pending and closed proposals.
  • Not able to export the content library.
  • Integration with other software, such as CRMs, without going through Zapier.
  • Real-time collaboration and multiple workflows would be nice to have.

Pros and Cons

  • Saves time by delivering contracts worldwide in a instant.
  • Environment friendly by saving tons of paper.
  • Easy to upload and sign certificates and other type of documents that our clients need
  • Redlining - It would be very useful to be able to propose changes directly in the document (like a drive) so we can negotiate the clauses without sending numerous versions of the document through email.
  • It allows documents created or uploaded from PandaDoc to integrate with CRM.
  • assigning more than 1 signer to the same field in order to minimize time and effort when we send budgets
  • when editing a document to change something in the 2.0 version all text fields with filled information are deleted and the client has to refill all the text fields (in our contracts can be more than 25 fields sometime and clients are a bit reluctant to do it again)
  • allowing to manage recipients after sending a document would be very useful
  • an integration or mass downloading's would be useful, we upload our contracts into our system

Pros and Cons

  • Being able to build content libraries and templates saves a lot of time creating new quotes.
  • The drag & drop aspect of building a quote within PandaDoc is efficient and works well.
  • Having the ability for two or more users to edit the same document at one time would be very useful in a collaborative process.
  • The "undo" button, or going back several steps, doesn't always work well, which can be frustrating and cause you to recreate content over again.

Pros and Cons

  • Proposals
  • Service Agreements
  • When using with Pipedrive, it overshadows the other page and we can't see information in our CRM when the proposal is opened without closing the app.
  • If you move your mouse off screen in certain text boxes, it closes the page altogether.

Pros and Cons

  • Standard document creation and delivery - By making use of document templates, a new document can be created and sent out in a few minutes having to only replace key information tokens.
  • Document signing - The system makes requesting and acquiring signatures on various documents quick and easy for everyone involved and keeps everyone informed of the status.
  • Cost - The software is reasonably priced for the product offered.
  • Template creation - The tools offered for creating templates, particularly replacement fields, leaves a little to be desired when populating field options and controlling them.

Take Your Sales Collateral To The Next Level

Pros and Cons

  • PandaDoc is great for building dynamic proposal templates and pitch decks. New documents can be created directly from these templates, making customization easy and efficient.
  • PandaDoc has the ability to manage large content libraries and product catalogs. The ability to reference and inject elements from these tools makes proposal building a snap.
  • The integration capabilities are fantastic. The ability to originate sales docs directly from CRM records and have that 'event' time-stamp into the contact record is great. Then, as documents are sent and engaged with the history of that engagement is also time-stamped to the contact record. This gives sales great insights into the activity which trigger them into the actual document for deeper engagement history.
  • PandaDoc needs to improve the presentation capabilities. There is heavy application for sharing a document on a screen share meeting before it's sent. PandaDoc lacks presentation capabilities.
  • PandaDoc needs to improve their integration with other software partners. The ability to load videos into documents is great, but they don't accommodate top video platforms like 23 and Vidyard yet. This is overdue.
  • They need to improve their value beyond the sale. There is opportunity to expand their value into operations and fulfillment, beyond the current ability to capture payments.

Pros and Cons

  • PandaDoc has a user-friendly option for online quote acceptance. It takes the paperwork out of getting sign-off from busy CEO's!
  • PandaDoc notifies my entire team when a quote is accepted, in -real-time, which lets them get to work wherever they are in the world.
  • Other than the system-generated emails from PandaDoc getting caught in customers' Spam folders, I haven't encountered short-comings in all the years using it.

Pros and Cons

  • The customer service is amazing! Anytime I have an issue, I receive an immediate response.
  • Our specific company branding was easy to implement within PandaDoc, which was a huge selling point for us. Our branding has been a large project and being able to actually use it in a different system outside of our own was a huge win.
  • Some of the functionality that was in Editor 1 was not pulled into Editor 2. It's not a major deal, but it would be nice to keep functionality with new versions, but just make the necessary updates to them.
  • I consistently have issues adding PDF files to PandaDoc. It could be user error, but there are several files that I need to add to documents that are only in PDF format.
