Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Sign

We use Adobe Sign to send legal documentation to our clients via email so that we may file cases for them immediately without delay. This helps curb the slippage we would experience when sending out paper retainers. Instead of waiting for the clients to receive a paper copy, sign it, and hope they send it back; we walk them the process of signing over the phone and get the documents back immediately.
  • It auto-fills client information into legal documents.
  • Clients only sign one time and signature is applied to all pages.
  • There is an electronic trail with dates documents are sent, received, and returned.
  • The home screen could be more simplified.
  • It seems like there are too many options for how to send the documents.
  • It's easier search tool to find documents that have already been sent or received.
  • Increased client retention.
  • Less documentation lost or misplaced.
  • Detailed records of who documents were sent to.
  • Detailed records of when documents were received/signed/returned.
  • It's easy to download/forward documents.
Adobe Sign's support is easy to contact and they are quick with resolving issues.
I give Adobe Sign this rating due to its overall ease of use and managing documents. The website is set up for smooth navigation, organization of documents and workflows, and groups/teams. The features for sorting documents and managing staff with permissions to certain documents helps keep everything really organized and things can be searched by key words/tags/etc.
We file Social Security Disability Applications electronically on a daily basis. To be able to do this we have to have a signed legal document in hand. Using adobe sign we can email our clients, walk them through the documents, and receive the signed copies back in a matter of minutes. This allows us to move forward with the claim for our client without any delays that would be experienced if we had to send out paper documents. This also provides an email chain with dates and times of the correspondence sent/received.

Our company also uses DocuSign to text retainers to clients who do not have access to email. It is easy to use as well but does not seem to have the full scope of organizational features that adobe sign offers.
Adobe Sign has made it easy for our clients to understand and sign our legal retainer documents. Because the documents are sent electronically via e-mail, we are able to sit on the phone with our client and explain each page as they scroll through and sign. They are able to sign on any kind of electronic device with their finger, stylus, etc.

Adobe Sign Experience

We have the majority of our staff working remotely from home and it has been so easy to train everyone how to utilize adobe sign. Our documents are preloaded so that agents can simply select a legal agreement from a drop down menu. They can then preview that document and prefill as much as possible before sending it to our clients to sign thus ensuring there are no errors.
We have integrated to our case management system so that you can access the documents, view signed documents, and print/scan signed documents.
It has increased the return rate for our retainer documents. We don't have to wait days for something to be received and then signed and returned. Things don't get lost in the mail. Documents don't come back damaged or missing information. It has significantly reduced our slippage rate.
As our company continues to move into a direction of cloud based operation and e-documents, e-signatures are more important to us now than ever. Having a program that's able to be integrated into other widely used software ensures that most of clients will have the capabilities needed to sign an electronic document with ease.

Adobe Sign Reliability

Anytime I have needed to log into Adobe Sign it has been available. It is being used by all our departments (intake, case management, medical records) at all times of day/night. We share agreements and legal docs with one another with ease through adobe sign.
I have not experienced an application error or unplanned outage with adobe sign since we integrated it.
Adobe sign is very fast. Pages load in real time. When we send/receive docs to/from our clients it only takes a matter of seconds. Once a client applies their signature it can be added to any field within one second. I am very pleased with the speed of adobe sign.

Our IT team was able to integrate easily with no ongoing issues. Once program was integrated, no troubleshooting was experienced.

It was very easy for our IT team to integrate the program.
