    Outlaw is great for companies that use contracts on a regular basis. Outlaw keeps all of your contracts in one place and is fairly user-friendly. If you do not use the contract on a regular basis I would not see a use for the software. Overall it is a great program once you learn how to use it internally. End-to-end I have not seen much better.

    As a small business, the polished, professional look of every PandaDoc document never fails to impress our clients. It's seamless and easy to collect e-signatures, a huge plus, as many e-signature software services provide only that feature for a cost, without the other features PandaDoc has. I am disappointed that the pricing tiers recently changed, so now you get less value for the price. PandaDoc has been great for sending proposals to our clients which include the terms of agreement and the price we quote them, with space at the end for them to sign upon approval. This signals to us that they've accepted and we proceed by sending them an invoice (through another software). Ideally, PandaDoc would automatically follow up or simultaneously send an invoice as well - but this is a Business Plan feature now. But love that we can track when prospects open our documents. We used to pay $35/month for the Essentials Plan, which no longer exists and has become the Starter Plan, which no longer includes unlimited templates or pricing tables - those are Business Plan features. So that downgrade in value was disappointing as it's not a cheap service for a small business, and I'm considering moving to their free plan.

    Cons
    Outlaw Inc.
    • Export function to be more easily used.
    • Ability to access fully executed documents more easily (the different version histories results in the wrong version being downloaded a lot).
    • Notifications for when a contract is fully executed if you aren't the signee but do need to be notified.

    • The automatic snapping of added fields in templates could be toggleable to more easily place fields where they need to be
    • When fields are duplicated, the generated Field IDs can get long (e.g. Text_1, Text_1_1, Text_1_1_1, etc)
    • Loading screens are sometimes long

    The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

    Usability
    Outlaw Inc.
    Outlaw is a great system to use and I think a few small improvements (creating a consultant/vendor list, allowing more people to have accounts without a significant jump in price, etc.) could get it to a 10.

    Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

    The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

    Outlaw Inc.
    We had a dedicated rep assigned to our account. She was fantastic. She helped with the setup/implementation of the software to start. Gave our sales team training and if there was ever a unique scenario where something wasn't going as expected, she was very quick to respond and help resolve the issue

    Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

    We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.

    • Our business has received a positive impact by saving time on creating, editing, and sending documents/quotes to clients.
    • We also have had greater employee efficiency due to a faster and more seamless proposal and document management process.
    • We have received a higher close rate as well considering the user is able to e-sign the document, pay, and complete the quote seamlessly.
