PandaDoc vs. SpotDraft

It is so easy to create templates and then send them as documents for signature. It's helpful that our whole team can see the documents so that we all know what still needs to be sent. We use the HubSpot integration which is helpful, but it could use some additional development

The best place to use SpotDraft is on contract negotiation. The entire life cycle of a contract negotiation is captured well on SpotDraft. Data is also crunched and displayed in dashboards. We get to prepare better first drafts of contracts when we know of areas which get heavily negotiated on.

• PandaDoc allows our team to create and send detailed sales proposals and quotes with the use of their templates.
• The use of collaborative editing is also beneficial because our team is able to have multiple users edit and comment on documents simultaneously.
• Document tracking is useful because we are able to receive real-time notifications and updates on the proposal process.

• The automatic snapping of added fields in templates could be toggleable to more easily place fields where they need to be
• When fields are duplicated, the generated Field IDs can get long (e.g. Text_1, Text_1_1, Text_1_1_1, etc)
• Loading screens are sometimes long

The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

I don't know of any other tool that provides so much flexibility and delivers efficiency in CLM.

We haven't had any real issues regarding downtime as of yet.

The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

Support is decent, mostly the features are self explanatory.

Implementation was before the time I was here at Riafox, however, support has been great in assisting to merge spaces and upgrade to 2.0 Editor.

PandaDoc and DocuSign are very similar in functionality and design, but I prefer to use PandaDoc's interface. It is so easy to use and I prefer PandaDoc's interface and UI. It feels a little cleaner and a little more professional to me when compared with DocuSign's interface and UI design

SpotDraft came in highly recommended. So we purchased it directly.

It's scalable

• It has helped increase our sales productivity by allowing us to get contracts back more quickly.
• Has helped with employee efficiency in contract writing.
• It has helped our company find contract writing mistakes before they get to our clients and cause confusion.
• The one negative would be the increase in costs associated with using this software, which seems to increase each year at renewal.
