There are other solutions besides DocuSign

Dee, I pay a nominal fee for it and it is useful at times, but not having it in my hand forces me to get in front of a desktop or my tablet. I just don't want them ignoring us as a user group. Thanks for the comment.

Bernadette, I hope that wasn't too much of a bait and switch.  I know that Adobe has a product or add-on to Acrobat Professional that captures signatures, but am not certain if it steps the recipient through signing like DocuSign does.  I was hoping to hear other alternatives that people have hopefully actually used or evaluated.  I REALLY hope DS will give us a solution so I don't need to look at alternatives. Thansk for the comment.

Kay, thanks for the comment.  Now that you know, please help keep their focus on giving us a handheld solution.  We have clearly chosen the communications device operating system that is obviously superior and don't want to be ignored. ;)

Hey Alison, I love it when I have clients sign on my HP tablet and don't even have a paper copy, but I use DocuSign for long distance and at other times when I'm not physically with the client and I need their signature quickly. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Suzanne, I'll look into that if DocuSign doesn't get their act together.

Thanks for the comment Talisa.  DocuSign might be making it an easier decision to leave them behind.  Their system has run into numerous slow processing cycles in the past month so much so that the reliability is being called into question by Information Technology types.  That is often the first step of a company being left in the dust or bought out by hostile or other takeover.  Maybe we will not have to work with them much longer?

Michelle, thanks for the comment.  The original post was a few years ago.  In that time, I have looked at DotLoop (didn't like it much because of the slow response time it has on standard high speed internet connections)--it's a techie thing, but the inferior design causes slowdowns. And DocuSign has (mostly) cleared up their errors to regain the lead position.  Dot Loop is trying to gain market share by exclusive deals with major franchise brands, but the product simply runs slower, so retaining long term customers may prove problematic for them.

Max, that may be another for use as a consumer solution.  Agents using electronic signature for business shouldn't be using the personal level accounts to conduct business, but they likely have a professional plan available, it may be worth considering.  Thanks for the comment.

Wow, that's quite a list. Funny to see how many more companies have entered the market since 2011 when the post was first written.  Thanks for commenting.
