We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Adobe Sign is not expensive, but it is premium-priced based on the specific features required. The value you get from the numerous features and free unlimited support, including expert advice, is worth considering when looking for value for money. Unlike licensed components, when you purchase Adobe Sign, you're not just buying support; hence, you won't be faced with any unexpected licensing costs for additional support."
  • "As of now, there are no monthly expenses involved in the solution."
  • "The free edition allows us to use the signature feature."
  • "One area where there is room for improvement is the pricing of the entry-level plans. If you have minimal requirements for electronic signatures, the initial plans may not be suitable for SMBs as they may appear expensive. However, once you start using Adobe Sign, you can see a positive return on investment. Nonetheless, the pricing of the entry-level plans could be improved to cater to businesses with lower signing needs."

  • "As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
  • "Licensing can be by server or by seat."
  • "It is very expensive.​"
  • "The data classification and search elements are cheap."
  • "The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
  • "We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
  • "The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
  • "The pricing works for us."

    At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a round-up of a couple of the more well known platforms and compare their products to Drupal. In this roundup we will be comparing Jive, Sharepoint and Drupal Commons. Drupal Commons is a popular distribution created by Acquia to compete with some of these other proprietary platforms. There are many other options out there, commercial and otherwise, to compare with Drupal but I want to focus on Jive and Sharepoint for a couple of reasons. I chose Jive because it is one of the leading competitors in this space in respect to market share. Next, I chose Sharepoint because I have some history with Sharepoint. This experience dates back to when I built www.adhe.edu with Sharepoint 2007 a few years ago. I subsequently wrote this blog entry about my experience shortly after joining Mediacurrent. This roundup will also act as a refresher for those who read my original “Drupal vs. Sharepoint” blog. Yammer, which was recently bought by Microsoft and is the tool we currently use for office communication will also get some mentions throughout this article. As I went through and tested each of these tools I used three main criteria in my evaluation Cost Ability to Customize Overall features… Read more →

    Overview

    Adobe Sign is a reliable and user-friendly digital signature solution that offers a range of customization options and robust security features and allows users to sign, send, and manage documents online. It's a cloud-based service that streamlines the signature process and reduces the need for physical paperwork.

    Based on user reviews, Adobe Sign is highly regarded for its ease of use and integration with other Adobe products. Users appreciate the intuitive interface, which makes it easy to navigate and complete tasks quickly. The software offers a range of customization options, such as adding branding elements and creating templates, which users find helpful in personalizing their documents.

    The platform uses encryption and authentication protocols to ensure that all documents are secure and comply with industry standards. Users can also set access controls and track document activity, providing an additional layer of protection and accountability.

    Some users have reported occasional glitches and slow loading times, but these issues are generally minor and do not detract from the overall positive experience with the software. 

    AlphaTrust's PRONTO Enterprise Platform is a proven server-based software solution for managing the entire process of getting documents competed, signed, approved, routed, and stored. PRONTO Enterprise Platform can meet user's document completion, execution, verification, and archiving needs for business documents requiring signature or approval (forms, contracts, documents). The PRONTO Enterprise Platform software runs entirely on a Web server and there is no requirement for end users to install any software or download any Web browser components. Presentation and signing of documents is done using a Web Browser and, optionally, e-mail. Documents are properly signed according to law and regulations and secured using the cryptographic technology. The user's experience is simple point-and-click. Printing, signing, and shipping of signed documents are eliminated along with the significant delays caused by manual, physical routing. PRONTO Enterprise Platform is used to manage online document signing / approval processes. Production applications include: online contracting, human resource documentation, health care documentation, and financial service applications.

    SharePoint is a Microsoft-based platform for building web applications. It covers a widerange of capabilities and while it is appropriate for experienced webdevelopers, even non-technical minded users can easily navigate through thesystem and execute functions such as collaborating data, managing documents andfiles, creating websites, managing social networking solutions, and automatingworkflow.

    Major areas that SharePoint deals with are websites,communities, content, search, insights, and composites. The purpose is to give usersthe ability to create or develop these key business components on their owneven without technical knowledge of, for example, how to build a website or howto integrate coding. Configuring SharePoint into a business's system is meantto cut out all of the complicated steps, and pave the way for easierimplementation all around.
