PandaDoc vs. Zeal

As an alternative to other electronic signature mechanisms, I can't recommend PandaDoc more highly. It works, plain and simple. It is less costly - by a lot - than most alternatives, stores signed documents online for easy access, is simple to use by both our staff and our clients, and makes our lives far easier.

Zeal is well suited to the growing needs of Savvy Ladies as they continue to improve and add new functionality based on our inputs and business needs. They are very open to adaptations to fit our needs

• PandaDoc allows our team to create and send detailed sales proposals and quotes with the use of their templates.
• The use of collaborative editing is also beneficial because our team is able to have multiple users edit and comment on documents simultaneously.
• Document tracking is useful because we are able to receive real-time notifications and updates on the proposal process.

• Client service support.
• Personalization of need.
• Document tracking.

• I would like to see the ability to LOCK a field instead of locking an entire block or document.
• I would like to see more standard features that need to be part of the service instead of add-ons.
• Would like to see an option to allow different levels of users than just the two standard options.

• New feature request process - they tend to ask a lot of questions regarding my request.

We have been using it for a few years now and find it vital to getting our bids out quickly and accurately to our customers. We can get a request for information from a customer and once we have their basic parameters create a professional bid in minutes. It's actually usually harder to find out what the customer wants than to use PandaDoc and create a document with it

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.

Zeal is user-friendly for the non-tech person to use.

We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

As I mentioned earlier - performance is near perfect as I can create, send, adjust my documents. I love the tracking feature as well as I can tell when my documents have been seen and by whom. The only issue I have run into is with saving and formatting - occasionally the file document does not save with the newly assigned name or the content of the document does not stay formatted nicely.

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.

Customer support is outstanding.

Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor.

PandaDoc is a more polished, professional, and 'legitimate' software site than other solutions, since PandaDoc really specializes in creating professional proposals, quotes and invoices. The eSignature capacity and pricing table capacity embedded in the documents as well as fillable fields, pre-made, customizable and reusable templates also make PandaDoc stand out.

Features I needed were shared with all the products I researched. The difference was customer support.

I agree. We have created folders for multiple departments and have been successful with the usage.

• Automated tracking of data from contract templates sent out.
