User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for forms that need to be signed by one or more people (ie multiple levels of managers). Great to keep all completed slates in one section so that you can find what was completed and where. It does get a bit tricky with routing when it's a bit of back and forth.

For any sort of automation I think it could handle it. The only thing that makes it a 9/10 for me is pricing. There should be cheaper options.

Pros
  • The airSlate interface is very easy to use. Creating new forms or updating existing ones is way less challenging than other similar platforms.
  • airSlate integration with other platforms is straightforward and doesn't require special unique code.
  • The look and feel of the user interface is clean and inviting.

Cons
  • Field mapping to Salesforce is precise but a bit fidgety. Would be nice to be able to do it on the form builder instead of in a separate bot.
  • Fillable fields in PDFs are ugly. It would be nice if font size/spacing/alignment actually matched the document.

  • It should have a community node marketplace
  • it should also show the execution while its running instead of showing when its completed

I give this rating because I am hopeful the functions I would like will be added in the near future.

Usability
Starting with a template it is easy to see how parts of the workflow are connected and make changes that will customise the product for your own use case. In our situation, rather than starting from scratch, our form was working within hours of joining the trial version. Several hours of tweaks lead us to a form that is better than the tool it was replacing and we are saving real man-hours with a minimum investment of time and money. Service has been exceptional.

The learning curve of the app is a little too steep for new users, especially those users who are not very familiar with technology and maybe coding. Nothing that can't be reached if you choose to use YouTube to learn more. It might be hard at first, but it can save you many hours, and your current job will get a lot easier with it.

Support Rating
I have reached out to airSlate support a number of times during setup and after. The platform includes a built-in support chat that is very convenient and fast. I'm able to get the answers I need is less time than it takes with any other software I use. And I don't need to pick up a phone or write an email and wait for a response. They support staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating

HelloSign is the only other products we've used but it does not have the automation we needed. We used it when we were processing fewer digital forms and most others were required by our legal department to be printed and signed.

N8N can handle more complex tasks and customized solutions than the tool I mentioned before. It is now as user-friendly as Zapier, for example, and doesn't come with previously done cenários as Make, but you can create new things more freely with it. I would recommend using them all to understand what best fits your needs.

  • Time saved from auto-storing documents in the correct place once we get all the bots set up
  • Confidence from a legal standpoint due to the validity of e-signatures and its tracking
