Dropbox Sign is a MUST for every business with online sales!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

When customers purchase backyard structures from our company, Dropbox Sign makes it so very easy for the contract to be signed through email. I love the reminder feature for customers who are not as quick to sign as we would hope. Dropbox Sign is an invaluable tool for the success of our business!

Pros

  • Ease of receiving signature from customer
  • Awesome reminder feature if customers don't sign within three days

Cons

  • It is perfect for my needs as is

Return on Investment

  • Faster time to contract signature
  • Reduction of paper waste

Usability

Very user friendly and RELIABLE.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dropbox Sign daily to collect signatures from our clients on fee contracts and court documents to retain us. Many of our clients live out of state, and Dropbox Sign helps us collect signatures instantly without emailing, downloading, signing, scanning, emailing, or mailing the originals back to us. It's also easy to use, track which documents are missing signatures, trigger reminders, and access any past fully executed documents.

Pros

  • User-friendly. No training of any sort needed to use. It's pretty self-explanatory.
  • Follow-ups. If a document goes unsigned, it automatically sends reminders, but you can also easily trigger reminders to be emailed.
  • The notifications are also super helpful. An email is sent if the signer even opens the document. It lets me know that someone saw what I sent them. I like getting another notification after they sign and a final email after everyone has signed the documents, including the executed document as an attachment. It's so helpful!

Cons

  • More font options. Some of the signature fonts are a little too bold. It would be nice to have more options that look realistic (not bold nor too neat).
  • Odd font size options are all even numbers. It would be nice to pick a font size between two numbers.
  • An "X" option for checkboxes instead of the check mark.

Return on Investment

  • Closing criminal defense cases faster.
  • Allowing our clients to resolve cases from out of state/saving them from travel.
  • Saving paper. I often digitally sign a document as the only signer. This saves paper that would've otherwise been printed to fill it out by hand, then scanned and tossed.

Usability

Mediocre product with security issues

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My experience with Dropbox Sign's G2 marketing campaign left me feeling pretty let down. It just seemed like they weren't being totally upfront with their customers. And when it comes to the product itself, I've gotta say, it's not exactly blowing me away. Plus, I've heard some worrying things about security issues. Honestly, I wouldn't feel right recommending it to anyone, especially if they're concerned about keeping their stuff safe. I use sign for two of my businesses and considering different product at this time.

Pros

  • Nothing
  • Not a lot
  • Negligible difference

Cons

  • Security
  • User experience
  • Core functionality

Return on Investment

  • Negative ROI
  • Never paid for itself
  • Wasted my time
