    Well suited for any law office that uses any court forms. Also, it's great for any law office that needs signatures on any docs. The template features are excellent and a huge plus because any document can become a template in LawYaw. Probably not needed in a law office that only provides consulting or legal advice, but doesn't actually prepare any documents for clients.

    I am going to speak of a personal experience- on multiple occasions: I need my husband to sign documents during the day and I don't need him here- physically. He sometimes works in different parts of the state as well at his own company. There is no problem at all, as long as he has access to his cell phone, email, and cell phone service- he can sign the documents I need him to. It is AMAZING- I can't speak highly enough of Docusign.

    DocuSign
    • Ease of sending the same document out to multiple recipients, at multiple locations, for multiple signatures
    • Quick turnaround - once the recipient signs the document, we receive notification and the document back immediately
    • Can resend, alter, change, and/or add to the email and/or document that is sent out very easily
    • The recipient can save the document after signing, so they too have their own electronic copy for their records

    Cons

    • Integrations with case management platforms, such as MyCase

    DocuSign
    • Tracking, particularly when collecting signatures through connected applications, such as an ATS, is not always clean or easily traceable.
    • Formatting documents to handle electronic signature types (signatures, initials, etc.) is not always easy, and highly dependent on the partner's technology.
    • It is not convenient to have to use DocuSign as a stand alone product if the signatures are required for 3rd party applications. It definitely excels on its own, but the scope of that usage, at least for us, is slim.

    I can't imagine doing business without DocuSign now. I would never want to go back to the way we used to do things. The "new way" is "the way" is "the right way." We can honestly be proud of a "one right way" process and not have to suffer through "5 ways for 5 days."

    Generally user-friendly once you have command of the basics, but also has a lot of nuances that can make it difficult to train others on. DocuSign University is a helpful tool, but understandably a lot of content to get through to become a well-versed user. A lot of different functionalities but only a few I use on a weekly basis.

    I'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours

    Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.

    Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.

    I would say that DocuSign's biggest competitor and a most similar product is Adobe Sign. They both offer almost identical features with Adobe offering a slightly better interface. Adobe Sign is also less costly than DocuSign while offering templates that can be useful for various activities. If you are looking for more branding options then Adobe offers a slight advantage but for corporate control, I would say DocuSign offers more security.

    • DocuSign has made fax machines obsolete for receiving, signing, and returning documents to multiple parties.
    • DocuSign is a secure method of signing documents and that is a positive. Fax machines are generally not very secure.
    • DocuSign stores your documents in an encrypted form which protects your privacy and the privacy of all parties named in a document.
