Authentisign Electronic Signature VS Docusign

Ruth,

We have had great success & truly enjoy using DocuSign.  We are considering switching to Authentisign because of the cost savings.  Have you tried both platforms & do you have any feedback on the pros & cons between the two?  In our business, we will definitely keep using an electronic signatures platform, but want to reconsider our options.

Thank you,

I've been using Docusign for a long time, though I'm not at all excted about the recent changes.  While I understand software evolves, I don't understand why they've suggested I spend time to look at the new videos to learn how to use the software I've been using for over 2 years.  It appears much less user friendly for whoever creates the documents now.

Authentisign does appear to be moving in grabbing market share, they've made a move into the greater Washington DC market recently.

But, I'm with Ruth here, I'd like to understand what the pros/cons are for each solution, and from there, consider which option is more compelling.

Price is part of it, but surely, ease of use is important.  Obviously, I'm assuming each is fully guaranteed and can support it's claims of legal merit.

A colleague of mine used both products recently with two different sets of clients as a test.  He asked both clients which product they felt was easier to use.  Both answered that Authentisign was easier to use for them.  Food for thought.

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for your post.

It is time for me to jump into the current century and start using electronic signatures!

Hi Ruth!

Just found your post.  I've been using Authentisign for about a year now.  I have also used Docusign.  Despite the discount, I like Authentisign better.  But either one are good.  I saw a webinar on Inman that was tauting Echosign from Adobe but, as with all Adobe products, it is more expensive and the only quickly identifiable difference is that the signature is created by the signer.  Big whoop.

I have been using NVAR's free Instanet Forms with a paid subscription to Authentisign for a couple of years now.  Authentisign does everything for me that I read Docusign can do, but Authentisign is much cheaper.  The only issue that I have with Authentisign is that sometimes the space is too short for what I need to write.  Authentisign leaves a  + sign at the end of the text to indicate that there should be more.  You can change the font size to get more letters to fit, but the font changes for everything that you type into the document.  Can anyone share what problems if any they have with docusign?
