DocuSign is not for everyone
Multiple acquisitions have upstaged DocuSign's capabilities. But it turns out that
the company that brought the world's #1 e-signature can still improve on:
High implementation time
Setting up the repository and workflows is complex. It takes several months to get started especially with legacy contracts.
Clunky UI
The template, workflow, review and dashboard UI are not intuitive for legal users. They are buggy and create friction at every contracting step.
Expensive for scaling teams
With DocuSign, you will always pay more. The costs of implementation and product modules are higher, making it inaccessible to scaling teams.
Inadequate customer support
The support team tends to prioritize enterprise customers and fails to meet the expectations of small-mid-market teams.
Despite the acquisitions, DocuSign accidently
created friction at every contracting step.

"Poor quality product and misleading customer support"
Overall, the product is slow, unresponsive and difficult to use. Most importantly, we were promised certain features in our contract, which were ultimately not delivered, and customer service simply does not care.

"Sold a solution that is more of a problem"
This thing is so buggy!! It seems like every other day I'm finding a new bug, or a capability that doesn't work as expected - and their support / customer success function SUCKS! Their sales team has basically ghosted us since the point of sale, and seems to have very little interest in ensuring we are gaining value from the tool.

"Implementation nightmare"
The implemetation partner that we were required to work with was a nightmare. It took a year longer than promised to "launch" and then when it was done it still didn't work. We were told that we could do approvals through the system, but it was so clunky that it didn't work well.

"Unlikely to Recommend"
The interface is dated and inconsistent. You need an advanced degree to attempt workflow creation or modification and only a developer has a chance of succeeding…Search is painful… multiple results in similarly named folders appear identical in search results. Overall, the system needs the help of a serious overhaul from a user experience perspective.

"Disastrous..."
This has been an absolute and utter disappointment to implement. The tool was purchased over a year ago and we still have nothing to show for it. A complete waste of the company's money to be quite truthful as there have been several, continuous issues experienced with the tool operating as it was intended.

"SpringCM review"
The admin user interface is not easy to use at all. I find myself struggling to figure out how to do simple admin things and where to find them within the menu. Also dislike that we don't have the ability to do a lot of the customizations of our process, i.e. the advanced workflows.
We took demos of around 5 CLM vendors and chose to ho with HyperStart. They were the only CLM vendor who had SOC2 compliance and met the criteria of around 22 parameters which we had evaluated them on.
