It is also used throughout the home building process to capture sign-off on changes (also known as variations) to the building design by the client.

Better auto detect of signature without needing to use Tags.
Likelihood to Recommend
We have tried many different E signing services in the past and Docusign is by far the outright leader. The first reason that comes to mind is speed. The speed of the system is fast especially when moving between screens. It is feature rich and the amount of options when building a document is far better than the competition.

I have attempted to cancel my subscription since October, as their upgrades and downgrades of plans seems simple, then you realize you never downgraded or cancelled. In my opinion, getting support worth a crap is impossible. In my experience, they continued to close out tickets on me when they were not complete making me start from the beginning again. My annual plan still renewed even though I did not want it too. Their refund policy states within 30 days of an annual subscription, yet, in my experience, they still refuse to refund or give me anyway of contacting them on the phone. I have had countless support tickets, following instructions and somehow it does no good for me.
Cons
in my opinion, horrible support
in my experience, miss guiding emails
in my experience, phone support is nearly none existent
in my experience, will not back refund policy they created
Likelihood to Recommend
In my experience, they will not refund my subscription I have been trying to get rid of for 4 months. They keep closing out my tickets that are not complete. Somehow when I cancelled my subscription it did not save, and after months of not using the product I am charged for another year. In my experience, they refuse to refund even when it meets their refund policy.
We use it to sign documents electronically. It helps us to ensure that it is secure, both parties get signed copies once complete and reduces the amount of paper that we need to use. Which in turn reduces our printing costs as well. We found this helped to streamline processes and get work done faster.
Pros
Ability to sign documents securely wherever you are.
Easily marks where signatures need to be so nothing is missed.
Easy for anyone to use.
Cons
The cost can be high.
Ease of use without needing to have the app downloaded.
Easier ways to build packages out or get documents uploaded to DocuSign.

I would choose DocuSign over Adobe sign any day or ease of use. However DocuSign is much more expensive than adobe sign. DocuSign is great for one time signatures but is not super friendly for bulk signatures. I like that you can assign it to go to certain people in a certain order.
I was an original user of docusign for my real estate business. I have used the program for years and this year my bill said $120.00 and they charged me over $250 on my credit card. When I call, they say oh no it’s wrong amount and will not credit the difference. I send them a copy of the screen shot showing the billing amount and all I get is the same answer. Oh no that’s wrong. Company has turned highly unethical in their business practices and would worry about my privacy of material. I am in real estate and now will need to download all files in order to cancel and doubtful I will be refunded any money. I have reported to the better business bureau and plan to post every site I can to warn other consumers. No one should use this app as it is untrustworthy and use the fact they have your data to hold over you. Highly unethical company.
Pros
Not return consumer calls
Charge you more than your bill
Have a supervisor call and leave messages in middle of the night.
Overcharging you
Cons
Charge consumer same amount as bill
Return customer calls
Stop giving consumer run around
Likelihood to Recommend
Charging on credit card more than billed amount. Not returning calls. After a month someone leaves a message in the middle of the night (3 am) saying they were trying to call me. Unethical business practices. No one cares to try and resolve issue. You show them screen shot of billing amount and all they do is make excuses and say they have new rates. Why did they bill me one thing and then charge my card more. I would give less than 1 rating if possible.
I have been using DocuSign extensively for the last 5 years. I had my personal account with them and decided to transfer it to my office corporate at which point DocuSign and my brokerage did not exprain that they will own the account and will have the right to cancel it at their liking. DocuSign unfortunatelly did not disclose that upon the transfwr of the account, the information will be passed to the broker owner without my knowledge. In my experience, so many breaches without disclosure
Pros
saves information
Cons
privacy and disclosures

DocuSign lost me as a client because, in my opinion, it has poor customer service. In my experience, it did not handle the issues at all and the representative kept repeating the same script. Most importantly, in my experience, DocuSign breached the privacy of my clients and disclosed it to my brokerage without my knowledge, unfortunatelly my clients are not pleased.

DocuSign is a valuable tool for electronic signatures and compliance requirements, especially for remote work. Nevertheless, it may not be the optimal choice for intricate legal documents or cases where manual signatures are preferred. Furthermore, the seamless integration of the Gmail plugin with our Gmail account allows us to initiate the signing process from our email platform itself. This plugin also assists in selecting recipients from our Gmail contacts, making the process more seamless and efficient.

Well suited to repetitive use of the same documents by utilising templates, which can be set up to preferences. Drawback on looking 100% professional due to difficulty in aligning tags with existing word text.

I just love the ability to be able to resend the DocuSigns rather than send an email directly to the customers. This allows me to be a bit more aggressive or persistent as a sales rep and has dramatically increased my contract return time.
