Pros

“Additionally, the free version applies a rather large watermark right in the middle of documents, which forces you to upgrade to the paid version for professional use.”

Patrick K.

Vice President at JPK and Associates, Inc.

“I enjoyed that this product gives you the ability to use toms of different editing features & even the ability to create your own graphics add-ins.”

Destiny C.

Sole proprietor

“You can modify the font, size, and style of text, resize or replace images, and add or edit hyperlinks.”

Naveen C.

Senior Technical Manager

Pros

“This makes electronic notarization exceptionally easy (the program makes you go through certain steps and will not advance you unless they are done correctly) and also provides an electronic journal to keep all completed transactions in. ”

Erin S.

Business Operations Manager

“Notary work”

Beverly P.

Owner

“Only the template feature allowed for the work to be saved in the system reliably. ”

Bianca E.

RE Analyst

Cons

“However, some documents don’t work properly on it, and the OCR area doesn’t always cover the whole page.”

Fannie C.

Estimator

“Sometimes I lose all my work if I click the wrong button.”

“I feel their marketing deceptive, and I don't respect and trust the company.”

Cynthia S.

owner and psychologist

Cons

“The one thing that can be confusing is when you are ready to send a document for signature, there is the option to send the documents to them at the same time the zoom meeting link is sent. When signing for e-notary, the signer cannot begin the signing process UNTIL the zoom meeting has been started by the notary. ”

Erin S.

Business Operations Manager

“Many of my clients are coastal so there is connectivity issues from time to time but there was no mitigation written into the software (setting limits for receiving data) that were adjusted for the likeliness of this type of issue. ”

Bianca E.

RE Analyst

“Unfortunately, the security features do disqualify a lot of people from even accessing their documents.”

Christoph M.

Notary Public
