We mostly use it within the sales team. We send the service agreements via PandaDoc as well as a Client Verification Form, payment options, addendums, and exhibits.
  • Ability to provide various options to create documents
  • Ease of use
  • duplicability
It is a great service to get company documents standardized.
  • The most current version is always available which saves time and headaches
  • Clients are able to review and sign electronically
  • Required fields are key as well as signing order
Reusable templates and the content library have really helped to speed up the process of creating documents. We are looking forward to trying an integration this month!
I LOVE real-time communication. It is easy to track where we are in the sales cycle and to know if the client has even looked at the agreement. We can decide to call instead of email if they haven't.
PandaDoc makes the ability for us to provide consistent branding across all documents.
  • New User Forms
  • Internal Company legal documents
  • Trade Reference Requests
eSignatures has been a great resource for collecting personnel signatures for internal employee documents.
Most everything is pretty self-explanatory but there are some features that are a little more complex. It would be nice to be able to link out to a training right where you are trying to implement something and get stuck.
Support has gotten a little better over the past few months but I feel like there is much room for improvement, especially with CS questions. We get a lot of generic answers that do not fit our question and almost never solve the issue.
TBD
Never had any issues with how quickly everything loads and I am thankful for that!
Easy enough to work with from my experience so far.
Currently 4/9 use PandaDoc on a regular basis. Sales and Customer Service use it the most.

Someone with a lot of patience and experience builds the templates and documents and the rest of us just use it to send out and review client documents for setup.
  • eSignature via Sales Agreement
  • Adding boxes, drop downs, and check box options for Client set up
  • Viewing status of documents for the sales cycle
  • Payment options
  • Pricing documents
  • Product Documents
Not Sure
I was not involved previously but I would have asked for a little more help in setting up on how to use particular features. We have taught ourselves and had to move backwards several times before moving forward.

I am still working to figure that out.
I dont but I sure would like some.
No - the product does not support adding custom code
Would love to learn more about this.
No, we do not have too many questions. It is usually a technical issue that occurs that does not get fixed.

Yes, it was a feature upgrade that only took about a month or two after I added to the current open request.
The initial sale of the Integration between PandaDoc and Salesforce. Just starting this next week so not sure how it will go yet.

I use PandaDoc for contractor, employee and sales agreements. Within the contractor and employee agreements, there are multiple documents needed and used that required confidentiality and signatures. We use it across all departments. It keeps our document secure and the proper signatures to insure the agreement are obtained.
  • Importing information that is needed in a contract or document
  • Delivering notifications to admin to understand where the recipient is in the process
  • Electronic signatures are easy
  • I like the dashboard where you can see latest things that have happened
PandaDoc is well suited for contractual agreements where a signature is required. I also use it for collecting confidential information, such as bank deposit information, performance reviews, and sales agreements. PandaDoc keeps these documents secure.
  • We successfully manage Out-of-area and international hiring of contractors
  • We securely manage sensitive employee and other HR documents
  • PandaDoc simplifies our sales document process by providing stored templates
Riafox uses templates for contractor and employee HR. We us the embedded eSignature feature regularly for sales proposals, contracts and other documents requiring a signature.
Riafox has benefitted by PandaDoc communication within our management team. When creating proposals and contracts the private commenting feature is a must! I also like the real-time notifications so that I can see who has viewed my document, who has signed and completed the document.
I have found the look and feel of documents is professional. The document handler allows me to either create my own document or upload a document and make the required edits needed to meet our needs.
  • We have used it to store important documents so that they are available when needed
  • I like the way I can organize documents with folders
  • Capturing things for HR purposes
I have not compared PandaDoc to other document handlers for any reason. I have seen other document handlers in my personal business. The only experience I have with DocuSign is accessing the document and provided a signature.
Riafox has used PandaDoc for Employee Agreements, Employee Handbook, Employee Payment Adjustments, storing W-4 information, offer letter information and direct deposit pay information. We have used it for subtenant contracts and agreements.
As mentioned previously, 90 percent of the time I have been successful with using PandaDocs. Once in a while I run into glitches and have to resend documents.
I have not contacted customer support, but my colleagues have.
The only integration that I have used is uploading document and to make them templates for continued use. I have been able to upload PDF document and images.
Yes the performance is good. I can quickly fill out templates and send them off for review. The pages load quickly as well.
I was not involved in the purchase of PandaDoc. The company had work with the vendor prior to me being hired. PandaDoc was installed and ready to use.

Sales Proposals, Statement Of Work documents, Employee document, Sub-contractor documents. Any documentation that we want to require a signature for . I also store previous tax information there as well.

It is being used for sales and billing purposes. We send quotes and service agreements with it. It addresses the problems we had in regards to making sure our customers receive our proposals, contracts and invoices. It has been very useful in keeping track of what parts our customers actually read and how much time they spend on each section. It also serves as an ''all inclusive'' sales and administration tool. We could not operate without it!
  • Proposals
  • Service Agreements
We cannot imagine working without PandaDoc anymore. Everything from proposals to service agreements to invoices. Even NDAs!
  • Time saved creating documents
  • Tracking
It's seriously the best tool we've ever used.
Real time notifications and electronic signatures have been an outstanding addition!
It looks very professional, streamlined and we can customize everything.
  • To create NDA's
We use both Yesware for email tracking and PandaDoc for everything proposal and quote related.
We only use PandaDoc for sales and invoicing at the moment.
Very user friendly and modifiable if needed.
Support has been fast and effective, using the integrated support chat feature.
Very easy and simple.
Performance is very solid, though sometimes it is a bit slow to load. This is probably due to the amount of customizable fields that we added on our end.
For the very few times we had to contact them, the support team was quick and efficient.

Very easy, web based tool that requires little to no technical knowledge.
  • no training
Very easy to learn. My colleague got the hang of it instantly and passed on his knowledge to me. Everything else was pretty much learned by using it and I only had to contact the PandaDoc support team once since the beginning. Since everything is customizable, you can get around easily.
Everything is fully customizable to our liking and configurations are easy to change.
I suggest using the app regularly and trying stuff out. Trial and error has been the best way to learn for us.
Yes - we have customized the interface extensively
We customized the interface so we could make it look unique and exclusive to your company. With great results!
No - we have not done any custom code
We haven't done any additional configuration or customization besides what was previously mentioned.

Initially, there were problems when we would make a mistake in the credentials of the people we were sending our proposals to. For example typos in the email address, missing letters in names, etc. I wrote to the support team and got a very quick response regarding the issue. It has been addressed and we can now modify the names of the people without having to restart the document.
  • Sending proposals
  • Sending service agreements
  • None really.
It's fully scalable as we have been using it more and more for complex documents and onboarding procedures.
We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

Integrating with Pipedrive and Slack has been very simple and has changed how we work. It's a huge productivity enhancer.

No, we've already integrated with everything we needed to.
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
Nothing else you've missed.
Don't be afraid to contact their support team if you need help. They are quick and courteous.
Very simple to work with and always available.
We didn't negotiate per se. Pricing is fair and support is very good. Well worth the asking price.
No, they do a great job as is. Wouldn't change a thing.

We use PandaDoc to send proposals and contracts to our customers. It's easy to set up and we use the templates to generate collaborative documents. We receive an electronic signature in a very easy way.
  • Ease of use
  • Collaborative within users
Sales proposals and all purpose agreements or contracts.
  • Customer experience
  • Employee efficiency
We use templates and the content library. We haven't used integrations or automated workflows, but are planning to.
First of all we started tracking the contracts for optimization, at one point we used to put pricing and signature at the very end. Due to metrics analysis we placed these on the very top now, and conversions have rocketed.
It's more focused for sales.
