Featured Reviews

AshishKumar13 - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Advanced management and seamless integration improve document workflows
The IAM tool they are providing is good, but there should be flexibility in terms of importing IAM or AI generation reviews into the normal workflows while generating documents and creating templates. DocuSign still needs to offer more built-in integration tools such as the Coupa connector. They already have many integrations, such as Google Docs and Google Drive, but some major ones are still in the pipeline. Scalability, in terms of the workflow structure and maintenance, needs improvement. If the workflow becomes heavy, the system slows down, requiring consultation with the team to get the workflow load relieved. System availability should see fewer crashes or server errors.
Vopic Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Operations at EY
Digital signatures have transformed contract approvals and saved time across our teams
My experience while using SignNow has been five to six years. The mobile app support has been really helpful because they have been really proactive in case we want to reach out to them about any issue. We reach out to them instantly and they quickly give us a solution to our problem or support us 24/7. That has really worked well, especially with our mobile support when we or our clients have concerns with the mobile app. The mobile app has also been really great because it helps our team while working from home or remotely. They are able to open the mobile app and sign documents on the go, promoting collaboration. SignNow has positively impacted my organization. Since we started using SignNow, it has improved the time for signature collection, saving both parties time and reducing client doubts about signing with us. It has improved team collaboration because we all have access to this tool, and NDAs are signed much faster than they used to be. Reusable templates help out a lot.
