DocuSign vs Adobe Acrobat Sign Comparison

The software is easy to use and makes signging doucuments or contracts easy, especially while traveling or whe out of the office and business must continue.

The features are redundant if one has the Adobe suite or Acrobat.

The signing process is much more simple than on Adobe Acrobat reader.

If you make a mistake, it takes a little bit longer to go back and correct everything then other softwares.

DocuSign offers an unparalleled methodology of ensuring utmost accuracy and authenticates signatures which facilities the confidentiality of documents. It also ensures that duplication and forging of signatures are prevented and thus, has bought a paradigm shift in providing authentic signatures on private documents of sensitive nature.

DocuSign doesn’t have any differentiating factor when it comes to other signature authentication services such as Adobe Acrobat or Mac Viewer . There are other document sign softwares in the market and DocuSign hasn’t established itself separate from the masses.

I like that Adobe text boxes are recognized by Docusign. I can create a fillable form in Adobe then upload it to Docusign.

Reminders: There is no option to set the time of reminders. I have signers forwarding me reminder emails to show me that they're receiving them in the middle of the night, latest one was 2:53AM. This is not a good look for anyone; unprofessional.

Even though it was my first time using it, I did not struggle to figure it out.

More businesses need to adopt it over Adobe Sign.

Easy to distribute, track, and archive docs with digital sigs.

I feel like it could be less expensive, considering that we can also accomplish this with Adobe Acrobat.

Ease of use, no additional software like Adobe Acrobat is required on user's computers or devices

some scanned PDFs are hard to read or low quality, does not check for legibility

Although Adobe Acrobat allows for e-signing, this software allows for more extensive documenting sharing and signing.

This software has a more narrow focus than would be ideal.

- Has a better mobile platform than Adobe Sign - Great for small-medium sized businesses where you don't have a ton of contract to manage or need over 50 user licenses - Offers a freemium option

- Security could be better. Adobe Sign feels seems to place security as a higher priority - I prefer the Adobe Sign interface to Docusign. It feels more up to date and modern

It has turned into the standard for verification of what would otherwise have to be a bona fide "ink" signature.

I wish it was integrated into Adobe Acrobat more easily. I didn't notice that there was a plugin or anything.

This program allows for quick and traceable electronic signatures to be executed across different devices. Efficient and verifiable.

This program works well with programs like Adobe Acrobat but ensure that the recipient can access and update the document.

It is an easy way to authenticate documents. It works much better than the same setting in Adobe Acrobat.

It can be a little bloated, but it is by no means a dealbreaker. It is easy to ignore the features that you do not want to use.

DocuSign is easy to use and good but has limited features and a paid version

Prefer to use adobe fill and sign. Don't like paying for software

Easy to use, reliable, widely recognized amonst all lenders.

The cost is a bit higher then using Sign Now or Adobe.

I love how easy Docusign has made signing documents. I love not having to search to where to sign on every page because Docusign makes it easy to find and fill in.

I don't like how difficult it is to edit the document once you sign. Once you sign it, it is done and you can't go back and edit it even if you accidentally messed up.

Being use Docusign for a few months and I came away impress with the tools they provide. The security function they have along with it is great to have

Being able to offer it to the organization has been a challenge over the years in respect to cost, etc

DocuSign worked great at every organization that I used it. There have been extremely high volume contracts (100 per week), and DocuSign was crucial to keeping the business moving.

DocuSign was buggy at times and we couldn’t create a link to sign certain nonnegotiable documents. Adobe Sign had that capability, though, but we couldn’t switch over as an enterprise.

Used it to sign a lease and it made it all very easy instead of using Adobe.

You have to create an account to use it and it can be time consuming.

I prepare alot of invitation letters for interns and expats, i use docusign for my work and it work smoothly, the pricing is also good.

There are cheaper and free options available for use, you can sign PDF docs with Adobe for free for example

Very easy and convenience to use and helps in excellent authentication mechanism on the signatures. More customizable than Adobe Sign

No negative impacts so far. Product developers can think of introducing more ways to verify authenticity of signers.

I like that you can sign a document and it takes the work out of sending the PDF files via Acrobat Reader for a person to read and sign. I also like that you can set up an account to keep all documentaries that have been signed.

Although I prefer DocuSign it can be a little on the expensive side. Sometimes the program can hang up and be a little slow.

It’s easy to get valid signatures from people around the country, colleges who are away, and those working remotely. Also has a part11 complaint version that works for our research documents.

I wish document setup was easier. The interface does not make it easy to create templates that might easily adapt to different circumstances. I think Adobe prepare feature on acrobat does this much better. lol

It is easy to use. Create templates, set settings and just click on Sign. Not much fuss like Adobe products or other.

We cannot integrate real digital signatures on a smart card with this tool. We tried everything, but it seems the gap between SmartCard functions and DocuSign is unbearable.

The software is so beneficial when needing to sign or have someone else sign a document. It is easy to use and even save copy of document that was signed. For those that don't have adobe or other platform to sign, this is a great alternative.

I think DocuSign software is pretty good in comparison to other document signature platforms. However, there are some glitches I have encountered and if they continue to make updates that would be helpful.

Easily put a signature, initial, or date block anywhere I need to in a document. I absolutely love that it's easy to use.

Sometimes the signature doesn't exactly align to where the block shows it should be and it take a little bit of adjusting. Wish it was slightly cheaper.

I like that it makes me able to sign and take care of a transaction on the go. After signing I can easily track and manage the signed documents from the app.

The mobile platform is not as great as the competitor Docusign. I prefer the layout of Docusign a lot.

Easy of use and deployment, even for fist time use.

Not as commonly used compared to Docusign, which dominates this market

It is easy to follow the workflow path and identify where a document gets stuck/"lost" and follow up.

It really is a good product. Much better than previously used DocuSign.

Its zippy, easy to use, functional, and as effective as docusign

Its not free with photoshop or one of their other big time apps, I feel like this type of application should be freeware as it is used by an at home consumer so little

I use this application on occasion and enjoy the quality of scans from the camera on my iPhone. Documents are easy to edit.

The format isn't as user friendly as DocuSign. There aren't many options to edit/ manipulate documents.

You won't regret it. Adobe DocuSign makes the process of collecting signatures incredibly easy. All you need is a .pdf of the document that needs signing and the email address(es) of the signers, and you're off to the races. Very, very easy to use.

I can't honestly think of a single thing I don't like about DocuSign. Well, maybe the fact that I have to upload client documents to Adobe's server ... but that's not actually an issue since most of the docs I get signed end up in the public record anyway.

I love using Docusign for getting the long paperwork done and signed. It makes it so simplistic.

I really love everything about this software.

Adobe is creates a great user experience for us and third parties. It’s great on mobile and flexible for many different types of documents.

I wish more of our customers used the same tool because I like that the date stamp is always visible unlike Docusign.

I like the PDF editing features, like highlighting and writing custom text. Signature feature is OK. We still prefer DocuSign.

I have not found an easy way to sign and then send a document to someone for countersigning. Online PDF signature tools are just as good as Adobe, and they are free.

I like that it can be easily integrated into my email communication with clients. And it's clear and concise when it's added to the agreement.

DocuSign is much easier to make adjustment, add in custom text and more. Adobe sign doesn't allow for custom text to be added seamlessly.

Easy to use solution similar to Docusign for signing documents quickly on computers or mobile devices. I like how simple it is.

I wish it was used more by top tech websites/providers for signatures.

Setting up documents for signature and executing the signing is straightforward. The integration with Salesforce is robust and better than the integration with Docusign.

I had a horrible experience with the setup and connection to Salesforce. This all was around setting up a trial account and then the Adobe system not being able to figure out that I purchased the licenses from a different account. It took over 5 separate support discussions to get the accounts straightened out and then connected to Salesforce with the correct users. Support individuals were very kind and tried to be helpful,
