Considered Both Products
PandaDoc
Chose PandaDoc
We chose PandaDoc for its ease of use and tools that allow a professional feel. The convenience for our clients to review and sign agreements also helped us make the decision to go with PandaDoc.
Zoho Sign
Chose Zoho Sign
I was a paid subscriber to Adobe prior to using Zoho, and found their solution expensive and inflexible. DocuSign may be the market leader, but Zoho fits better into our overall needs, especially since it integrates well with our other Zoho products.

PandaDoc
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

great for sending out duplicate forms to clients that require a signature, this is fine when you do not have to keep changing details on the form. What is limited is if we need to change elements that need to be signed or remove elements as the original form is loaded up as a Word document or PDF. There are a variety of selection options to ensure that the data fields can be customized to font color and size number of characters etc.

Pros
PandaDoc
  • 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.

Cons
PandaDoc
  • 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

  • Page and element spacing can sometimes be different than expected.
  • There should be more standardized fields for inserting into documents.

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

Usability
PandaDoc
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.

Performance
PandaDoc
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.

Support Rating
PandaDoc
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.

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.

Alternatives Considered

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

DocuSign seems to be more commonly used and often times clients will ask if we can use that as opposed to Zoho Sign.

Return on Investment
PandaDoc
  • 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.

  • Zoho Sign was far more affordable for the simple uses we need. It simplified our processes at a very affordable price.
