Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Acrobat Sign
Adobe Sign is being used by our contracts and legal department. The business problem it addresses is digitally routing contracts, forms for our authorized signers, clients, and vendors rather than sending/ signing paper copies. It also will send reminders for contracts that are outstanding/unsigned. We encourage all of our clients to use digital signing to expedite the contract signing process so we can get to work without having to wait for contracts to send through the mail or potentially get lost on someone's desk.
- Some of its features on saving text/autofill for the contract fields are helpful.
- The price point is reasonable for a company of our size.
- Works well for its main function - digitally routing contracts and keeping them secure.
- Search - their recent update has dumbed down the search capability of contracts. They need to take a note from Google or Apple on how they treat search. Instead, to get accurate results, one is forced to limit to the exactly unique identifiers of each contract.
- When setting up a contract to be routed, you are presented with an email-like interface. Once you click to the next screen, you are not allowed to make changes to the initial screen or go back. This is more of an annoyance, but we have several abandoned contracts sitting on our account because we missed something on the initial screen and had to start over. For example, say I set it up to route to one signer first, then the other... but later I want to change it to either signer can sign first. I can't make that change with out starting completely over.
- Being able to organize the different contracts beyond just their status's would help immensely with search. IE: if I want to search for my California contracts, unless there is "CA" in the title or something, I will not be likely to find it. If I could organize them in folders from the beginning, this would alleviate the next to type text in the search box. I'd just look in the folder.
- Quicker we can get under contract, quicker we can start work and invoicing, receiving payment. Routing contracts by mail can cause weeks of delay.
- Covid has caused more clients to be receptive to digital signed contracts. Quickly processing has allowed us to pursure quick burn projects which can not wait for a mailed paper contract.
- Helps us control who in our company signs contracts which is limited to certain signers.
I feel I've already answered this question - we use it to speed up the contract process and track progress/remind signers.

I've used the above mostly in the context of personal use or in DocuSign's case, as a reviewer of the contract. I think Adobe Sign stacks up pretty well. It has all the same features at a reasonable price, though some examples I have are free ware with likely limits on contracts. I believe we pay quarterly based on the number of contracts we process. DocuSign didn't offer the same value for our situation - we did some comparisons a few years back.
