Overall, I am satisfied with eSign Genie. As with all things, there is a curve of learning.
Because it is browser based, I can be anywhere and log in to send or review my documents.

Pros

Overall this is a relatively easy software to use. Once you get the hang of how to add documents and Templates and recipients, it is simple enough to use. I was able to sign up for HIPPA compliance; this required the business plan.

Works with Safari on my Mac. :-P

Cons

I had issues logging in during the free trial and the first couple of times after my purchase. Support was able to fix the problem.

I also like least that for my small needs, I had to purchase the largest business plan for HIPPA compliance. I thought it would be a "flat rate" to add to any Plan but it was not.

I use eSign Genie to execute residential leases. Being able to sign electronically is great. It saves the tenant time because they don't have to print and scan the lease. It saves me time because I can reuse templates instead of doing each lease separate. I don't have to drive to get contracts signed. It is awesome.

Pros

What I find the most useful about eSign Genie is that I can pay for their services as needed. The other companies we looked at all want a monthly fee whether we use the service or not. In my case, I only need the service two times a year. eSign Genie gives me the flexibility I want!

Cons

I suppose the interface could be a little more intuitive. The software is very powerful and because it has lots of capabilities, the interface can be a little confusing if you just jump right in.

Pros

The ability to take a document and have it executed in a fast, secure & efficient manner and have it distributed to all the parties is far superior to our traditional approach. It really makes life easier in a very hectic world.

Cons

Overall it is an ok software and will do. For the price it is reasonable.

Pros

For extremely basic use this product does quite well! Online chatting went well also, again, as long as you have very basic questions or problems.

Cons

Unfortunately our company needed intermediate usage and found ourselves quite frustrated frequently.
Sending out documents where more than one person, like a married couple, are using the same email address has several glitches. More than 40-50 times, out of sending over 400 documents, the second signature defaulted to the first persons name. So you got a document back with the same name signed twice. And technical support, all the times we contacted them, we're almost completely useless on this issue. Plus you had to describe exactly what went wrong every time you contacted them. It's as if they do not keep any notes. Very frustrating and no resolution. We are looking into a different signing company again.

Response from Foxit Software

Hi Dayna,

Thank you for your review of the application. We will launch an investigation to see why this issue is occurring. You can certainly use a shared common email between husband and wife; however, frequent name changes during data entry may have been difficult in our system due to security and identity management issues. While we do understand it is frustrating not be able to keep changing names of the people, it makes our system safer and legally binding.
We will reach out to you again to train you further to show you how to avoid such issues. We do have a hundreds of companies using this feature and are very happy with the results. If you can spend a little time in showing us the issue you are facing, we will make sure that our team will do everything possible to eliminate any problems.
Again, sincere apologies for any inconvenience. We will launch an investigation. We will appreciate your showing us the problem on an online meeting.

I was generally satisfied with eSign Genie and would look to use it again in the future when we are ready to conduct our next research study.

Pros

We needed a solution that provided the ability to integrate with other web-based components via webhook. Also, the IDE for creating signature documents and templates was easier-to-use than those of the other tools we evaluated.

Cons

We needed to audit sign-ups for a research study which required that we be able to review document signatures retroactively to confirm that an individual had not already participated. Our service level agreement did not support retention of log information for document signatures any further back than 30 days, which meant we lost the ability to audit individuals who had signed up at the beginning of the study. It would be ideal to have a dedicated storage of audit data and a more full-featured user interface with which to search.

Affordable, reliable, professional and HIPAA compliant

Reviewed on 2021/08/12

Pros

It's easy to take existing documents and upload them as-is or make them form-fillable. As a therapist, I update my forms with small changes somewhat regularly, and I love that I can upload the new version right over the old one, and my fields stay mainly in the same place. I don't have to re-create every time. It's also crucial that the platform be simple for my users (clients), and that it works efficiently on any device while also being secure and HIPAA compliant.

Cons

Because the email notifications about documents to review come from eSignGenie (which is an unknown name to some), the email can end up in the spam filter. This happens about 1-2% of the time for me.

Overall we liked the product, despite it's issues. It got us through the times during COVID when we couldn't have face to face interactions with our customers and made it easy to virtually enroll students. It was easy to learn and use so it didn't add that extra stress of having to figure out a complicated system.

Pros

I liked how easy it was to jump in and start adding fillable fields on to our previously created forms. There wasn't much training needed and I could get the softward to do most of what we needed it to do. I also loved the audit trail so I was able to easily see where our participants were at in their process of completing and signing our applications. I was not the actual user of the software, I was the creator so I can't speak personally about the use of it. Based on feedback there were only minor issues with the software.

Cons

We updated forms with new or udpated fields pretty often but Foxit did not allow for pages to be replaced with the update versions. Because of this whenver we made changes I had to re-do all of the fillable fields for the entire application which was very time consuming and tedious. It also would have been great if the software could read the uploaded documents and add fillable fields based on what it sees so we didn't have to add fillable fields for everything every time (Adobe has this feature and it's great!)

Pros

I like pretty much everything about the software. I being able to create documents in our brand with ease. I am still learning the product and becoming more proficient as I use it more and more. The customer is exceptional which is important when I am on a deadline and can't figure out how to do something.

Cons

Merges were a new learning curve. I wish that I could use my csv files that already been created instead of downloading the spreadsheet and then uploading the spreadsheet. It creates alot of copying and pasting, but it is still better than printing and manually signing 150 contracts at a time. :)

In general, I am happy with the program. Beautifully designed. Easy to understand for people of all ages. Safe. Convenient.Depend on the period of my business, I will use it more or less, therefore the choice of whether sticking with an annual subscription or coming back to the eSignature function of Foxit Reader. Highly recommended.

Pros

Started with the integrated in Foxit reader program, the eSignature function was my favorite reason for choosing Foxit instead of other pdf readers and editor. Now fully developped into a pro software on both computer and phone, foxit eSign works much more easily (only drag and drop) and securely (with added authentification). Convenient and safe, what can I ask more from a signing program?

Cons

Maybe the cost. $99 for personal use might seem too much for customers like me (i.e., I am usually the one who get proposed a contract, and rarely the seller. But this is totally personal. The price is not high at all for commercial users who provide multiple valuable contracts per year.

I am so grateful for this software. As a small, independent business owner, I had to move forward to the digital age and learn how to process documents electronically. ESign Genie has made it so simple and intuitive for me to do that.

Cons

It would be nice to integrate Google Docs with the software and be able to pull from there. Setting up the template has been a challenge with the boxes but I am getting better with it.
