Annature is very well suited to sending envelopes to clients when signatures are provided, it also allows for two factor authentication to improve the security of sensitive information and documents. The ability to enable signing order has also proved very effective and easy when multiple parties are required to sign.

It's great for a law firm--especially ours which is paperless--and for any business that needs reviews and signatures constantly. I have recommended it to courts, my general contractor working on our house, and to other law firms that have a hard time getting us their clients' signatures. I think most businesses would benefit from SignRequest!

  • SignRequest is extremely user-friendly and its interface is smooth and straightforward. It takes the guesswork out of sending contracts and agreements online for review and signatures.
  • SignRequest is easy to set up and customize. I truly like how well its setup is structured. I've had zero issues uploading documents and customizing them.
  • SignRequest also allows you to save documents and use over and over. I really liked this feature as we send a lot of a similar contract out to our clients. We are able to change the amount and tweak the client information quickly and streamline the process.
  • SignRequest sends a final signed document after reach party signs it. I like adding this final PDF to our invoices when we send it out so our clients can keep a digital record of our agreements.

  • Clunky UI when filling in documents that require long-form responses. (Doesn't allow for entering of multiple lines at one time; lots of clicks required to complete a document with many fields)
  • In the free version, can only send one document at a time

Usability
It is incredibly user-friendly and very easy to learn on the go without specific training. There are a lot of step-by-step guides that help you learn how to use the product, but it's intuitive, and I cannot fault it. I knew it entirely on my own with no guidance; I followed the instructions via the website and figured it out as I went along.

I have found it easy to use and self-explanatory from day one. I love how clear and easy it is to use since I am not techy!

Easy to understand supporting documents with a great search feature to easily find the information I need for legal purposes, API connections, how to connect Gmail or G Suite, along with the ability to send a message to them. They don't seem to have an online chat feature or a call option, but that's why it's so inexpensive. Since it's already easy to use, it takes less time to find out information.

Alternatives Considered
Better customer service experience and billing experience with Annature. DocuSign was not a good experience at all, which is why we moved and also why past businesses I have worked at have also moved to Annature.

When I started this company in 2017, I looked for alternative solutions to getting e-signatures on business documents but never found anything that met our needs well until I encountered SignRequest. At this point we've been using it so long that I honestly can't remember the specific names of other products or vendors.

Return on Investment
  • Better value than some other esignature prodivers (DocuSign)
  • Improved turnaround times for signatures ensuring faster sales and service times.
Read full review
  • We ended up switching vendors after about 3 months due to CRM integration with Salesforce not meeting our needs.
  • The cost was low enough where we did not feel it would be overly expensive with a growing sales team.
  • It allowed us to quickly get set up, and get e-signed contracts out to customers.
