Overall Satisfaction with eSign Genie

I'm not a big studio. I'm just a little indie video director. I've used eSign Genie for talent release forms and payment docs. I do everything pretty much myself as far as video creation - from writing to directing, editing, VFX, sound design/editing, and promotion. I'm currently trying to relaunch my site with a much-expanded library of entertaining video content. But there's been a long-term obstacle, namely collecting any remaining uncollected signatures and talent release forms from those who've participated in my projects over the past decade. eSign Genie, as a digital signature system, allows me to send out talent release forms and payment agreements to past actors and have them signed in a way that's legally valid, without actually needing to meet those people again in person. That's great for getting those agreements signed, as the people involved are now all over the country. People move from job to job a lot and with eSign Genie, I'm able to continue the process of collecting signatures from a long list of people, using my own customized forms and fields, in a way that is intuitive and just works. Plus the service is reasonably priced, which for me is critical as I'm always on a limited budget! So, in short, I appreciate eSign Genie as a service that, for me, just works well. Due to these affordable electronic signatures, I'm now optimistic that a large volume of my work over the past 15+ years will finally be heading online without major legal barriers or risks.
  • The pricing is affordable.
  • Form creation and customization. It's pretty user-friendly.
  • It's fundamentally useful as a way to collect electronic signatures.
  • There's not a lot to gripe about, as their service is functional as is. However, maybe they could polish some of their UI a bit more.
  • Also, their form creation's super flexible, but that also means it's possible to build entirely contradictory form combinations. I admit I did that at one point, although it was totally my fault for not thinking the fields through clearly.
  • The price is good but still could go lower. Not really a complaint though, as they remain cheaper than almost every alternative out there.
  • Affordability.
  • Usability and user friendliness.
  • Customizability.
  • It's too early to say. I've collected e-signatures, but the relaunch of the video site is still not in place, as I continue to adjust and prepare the new web design and all the related code and pages. So we'll see if this goes well. I'm optimistic though.
I looked at other options such as DocuSign and they're fairly expensive. The decision to go with eSign Genie had a lot to do with pricing. Once I selected them I was happy with the choice.

eSign Genie is useful and quite solid for one thing, collecting digital signatures for legal records purposes. That's the entire point of the service. I can't come up with much else to say as the intended use case is pretty straightforward here. The service is very good at what it aims to do and not good at anything else it isn't trying to do.
