Likelihood to Recommend
eSign Genie has completely streamlined our tedious document process and helps us to easily manage our documents from signature to delivery and even with ongoing storage. This enhancement saves us time, money, and headaches and has been a true lifesaver for our organization and for our customers. I highly recommend it!

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!

Pros
  • The learning curve is faster compared to the last software we used.
  • It is easier to set up the templates and email messages so that the text boxes line up seamlessly.
  • It is quicker to send agreements and to follow up if they are not returned in the allotted timeframe.
  • Making changes to the documents is fast and easy.

  • 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.

Cons
  • User documentation could be better.
  • Requiring the field coding to be hidden makes it difficult to make adjustments.
  • I'd like to see where customers are in the signing process - whether they've opened and viewed documents.
  • If the document has been delegated, seeing a clear trail of the paperwork with email addresses including in the tracking.

  • 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

The tool is inexpensive and good value. We don't need a ton of eSign capabilities and this one provides what we need for a low cost given our low volume.

Support Rating
eSign Genie has live chat support virtually twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They also have phone and email support as well. On the few occasions that I have had to contact support, they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. It's been a pleasure working with the folks at eSign Genie.

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.

There is no implementation at all. You just sign up, upload your documents, set up the fields to complete, and you are done!

Alternatives Considered
Adobe Sign, despite coming from one of the best known brands in software, is the most frustrating and poorly-supported platform I've ever used. HelloSign and PandaDoc are good platforms - although the cost a bit more than eSignGenie, they are ahead on some features (not all)... depending on your exact use case, I'd consider them. However, for my simple use case, eSigngenie is the clear winner!

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
  • Creating a document that is easy for a client to understand and complete is a game changer. We are already experiencing a higher document completion rate than when we were with either DocuSign or Adobe (echosign)
  • With the number of completed documents on the rise with our company, having the incredible pricing structure that eSign Genie offers is a huge money saver for us
  • Not having to spend so much time with clients explaining how to complete the forms is saving us huge in customer support cost.

  • 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.
