Overall Satisfaction with SigningHub

I used SigningHub when I hired independent contractors for overflow work in my writing / editing business. I have specific processes that I use in my business. I require ICs to sign an independent contractor agreement, privacy policy, non-compete agreement, and non-disclosure agreement. Since I office from home, the ICs I work with also work from their own location. Sometimes, they're in my state and sometimes they're in another area of the nation. SigningHub allowed me to collect digital signatures on all of my documents regardless of where the IC was located. I had the ability to either upload the documents for each individual IC or upload master files and prep them for signatures within SigningHub.

None of the ICs I worked with had any issue with logging in to sign the documents. SigningHub would email me to let me know when the documents were signed. I could either store or download a copy of the signed documents (which was also nice).

I don't use SigningHub at this time, but it's not because I had a bad experience. I've stopped hiring ICs despite my workload. However, if / when I need to collect digital signatures for my company in the future, SigningHub will be my vendor of choice.
  • You can add individual documents for each person that needs to sign something.
  • You can upload documents you use over and over and prep them within SigningHub.
  • You can allow SigningHub to store them and you can download copies if needed.
  • You're notified by email when the signing process is complete.
  • You can limit the amount of time that the signor will have access to the document.
  • You can create a workflow for each document.
  • I found setting up a workflow for each different document a little confusing.
  • I'd get errors from time to time when prepping a document. This usually happened when I was inserting a date field or a signature field (which are fairly important fields for contracts).
  • The one time I needed help and contacted the company, the representative made me feel like I was dumb.
  • It was very affordable for a small business. I could use it for unlimited documents for a very modest monthly fee.
  • It could handle an unlimited number of documents.
  • Document retrieval is easy.
I've used DocuSign and Adobe Acrobat DC in the past. DocuSign is nice because it easily integrates into Word, but it's also a bit pricey for a small business who may not use it all that much. Acrobat is great for signatures, but documents signed are stored on your own hard drive. Whereas, they're stored on SigningHub's end.
SigningHub worked well for me for collecting digital signatures on contracts from independent contractors. It's well suited for both small businesses (like mine) and bigger businesses since you can create a specific workflow for each sort of document you upload. It's also great for storing the signed and master documents. However, it may not be appropriate in certain industries with specific data security rules. Check with the regulators of your industry before using (lawyers, I'm talking to you...).
