    I run a professional services business from home. I need to edit documents quickly and easily and with minimal subscriptions to minimize overheads. I love that Nitro is a one-off payment to get a license to the software, and you can simply upgrade to the latest version if that's what you want, but you're not obligated to. I've been using the same version of Nitro for 7-8 years now. Despite the fact the upgraded versions have a lot of great, nice-to-have features, the version I'm on still does the job.

    Smartwaiver
    Smartwaiver is well suited for activities where the client can check in before the activity and pre sign a waiver. This speeds the actual check in process and allows everyone to get out having fun instead of dealing with paperwork. If the activity is complex then the waiver is well suited to screen out candidates that do not meet the fitness level OR require them to get a doctor's note.

    Pros
    Nitro, Inc
    • Ability to combine files SEAMLESSLY and order them around as necessary (so underrated)
    • Signing not only for yourself but for others. Helpful for those who have been granted the authority to sign for VPs and directors
    • Much easier to use than some other PDF viewing services

    • integrates with our reservation system. We can connect Fareharbor and assign waivers to each group and they populate in the reservation.
    • Smartwaiver collects each guests email address and populates it into our Fareharbor system allowing us to connect w/ each guest that joined us not just the guest who set up the reservation
    • Waiver searching is very simple with Smartwaiver. We can search by name or email and the guests information pulls up for quick search.

    Cons
    Nitro, Inc
    • Converting from PDF to Microsoft Word can be complicated at times. Some parts of a document such as tables are not converted properly.
    • Sometimes it appears to be easier to save MS Word documents to PDF rather than using NPS to convert. It can be a bit slow to convert at times.
    • In my view, it wasn't user friendly at the beginning.

    • Limit to some fields.
    • The YouTube embedding requires you to call support.
    • Requires an internet connection (sometimes the wifi would go out).

    Usability
    Nitro, Inc
    For the most part, the entire software is extremely easy to navigate and use. You won't need to follow tutorials or anything for the bulk of the core features, as it's all pretty seamlessly designed.

    Nitro checks all the boxes for what we need. It is fairly priced, it allows us to read and edit PDF documents, convert PDF to MS Word and convert MS Word to PDF. It allows us to combine multiple files and do all the post processing like adding page numbers and adding headers and footers

    Every 1-2 years will do a check on current PDF options to include trialing the software. Have tried Foxit and several that seem to have failed in the marketplace. Over the last 4 years, I have always stuck with Nitro. Unfortunately, we still need to keep Adobe Acrobat (free version) installed to view a small percentage of some PDFs we receive.

    I've been approached by a couple other companies, the most recent would be Wherewolf. They reached out, but sadly they require only an ipad to use their system which isn't possible for us since we purchased simple tablets. They have a bit more complexity with utilizing the guest's information after the tour, but I think that's something Smartwaiver will move to eventually.

    Return on Investment
    Nitro, Inc
    • ROI was very quick as the license costs were so low. We purchased 8 licenses versus the initial 2 we were planning on for Adobe.
    • More people were able to use the product than we initially thought due to low purchase costs.
    • We haven't had any further costs to own the product after the initial purchase. We would need to purchase new licenses if we wanted to upgrade.

    • Smartwaiver costs about the same as a paper waiver but allows look up of information via search - this alone is worth the investment.
