Pros

“I use it for client-facing documents where a clear approval or signature is needed, such as proposals, statements of work, consulting agreements, and project-related approvals.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

“fast, intuitive e-signature process, reassuring legal validity for my professional contracts, real-time tracking of my document status, handy integration with Dropbox for centralizing my files.”

Shawn R.

Graphic Design - Art and Creative Direction

“It has helped me replace the older process of asking clients to print, sign, scan, and email documents back, which saves time and feels more professional.”

Jerrid C.

CEO

Pros

“We also value its collaboration features, such as commenting, document reviews, and secure sharing, which make it easier for teams to work together efficiently. While the subscription cost is higher than some alternatives and certain advanced features have a learning curve, the functionality and reliability justify the investment.”

Andrea L.

Innovation Manager

“The Customization Options provide flexibility for different document requirements, and the platform can support Project and Task Management when documents need to be reviewed, edited, and tracked as part of a workflow. Although there can occasionally be minor Bugs and Issues, they have not significantly affected my overall experience.”

Nikitha Y.

AI Proposal Intern

“A large part of my role involves project and task management, so having a reliable system that allows me to create, organise, review and share documents efficiently is invaluable.”

Megan B.

Systems Administrator

Cons

“The least to like about Dropbox sign would be similar to what other softwares and apps entail, i.e. the cost - may not be a good value for high volume signing needs.”

Sunil B.

Operation Manager

“Sometimes it can be a little slow to load my document.”

Ashley D.

Attorney

“Support is also slow and useless.”

Ashli W.

Administrator

Cons

“One area that could be improved is customer support, as it can sometimes take a while to contact the support team and have technical issues resolved. Although Adobe Acrobat is generally reliable, occasional bugs or system issues can disrupt work, and resolving these can be time-consuming when support is not immediately available.”

Megan B.

Systems Administrator

“Adobe Acrobat does have it's own limitations, and that includes when those receiving the files don't posses the software then they aren't able to make any edits of their own too the PDF, and in some cases can't open the file themselves. Although this is understandable, it can become a boundary when working in a fast pace environment.”

Hayden R.

Graphic Desinger

“popups and paywalls really diminish the experience, one minute you just want to edit a document, the next you're faced with a million paywalls and youve forgotten your login (or dont have the correct subscription)”
