User Testimonials
IroncladZoho Contracts
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it worked realllly well at my previous company where we used it for a very simple form that just required one simple signature from both sides- this was a form used to record custom pricing/discounts for a product that typically was not discounted. In my current role, there are many more required fields on the form/contract, and can be multiple levels of approvals on one side, and then possibly multiple levels of approvals/signatures on the other side. I've never used another solution in the exact same way (like DocuSign) to be able to compare experiences, but on Ironclad, understanding where I am in the completion process can be confusing. Within the app, I wish it was more of just a checklist or schedule of what needs to happen, but it's not written out that clearly. Lastly, there is something wrong with our notifications (I'm not sure if this is specific to my company's settings)- I frequently get 'contract completed' or 'contract signed' email notifications even if that hasn't occurred. They seem to correlate with updating the form or refreshing the sync from SFDC.

Pros
  • Ironclad is extremely easy to use, without providing much specific direction to new users.
  • It's wonderful to be able to capture the progress of contracts and requests as well as the notes regarding the status.
  • It's easy to tag another colleague into a workflow for their input and approvals as necessary.

Cons
  • Interface is suboptimal
  • It has to be easier to set up new documents and fields. I had to hire a consultant to do the work because it's simply not easy or intuitive
  • AI capability is suboptimal. Often, suggested text has nothing to do with the topic being indexed

Usability
I think it does all the things I need, and it can be simple to use, but it can also be confusing and not intuitive the more functionality you take advantage of. I am especially frustrated by false "form completed" notifications that I receive not only when forms have actually been completed, but also when they've been refreshed from SFDC or otherwise updated.

Support Rating
I haven't used the support services for IronClad, but I understand from our legal team, the support is very good, they have replied and provide solutions quickly and effectively. I have used the documentation and support pages which are very complete and which have been updated given the user interface updates.

Alternatives Considered
IronClad is a comprehensive platform that allows legal teams, cross functional teams and approvers to keep track of the suggestions and changes made to legal agreements. It keeps everything in a single place, however it lacks the simplicity and practicality of DocuSign throughout the signing process, so we usually have to use both platforms to complete a legal workforce
