| Compare | ||
|---|---|---|
| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | Banks and financial institutions | Regulated industries (finance, government, legal) |
| Who it's not for | Small teams wanting simple e-signatures | Freelancers sending a few documents a year |
| Privacy | No known public vulnerabilities found in the sources reviewed.⁹ | Enterprise-grade trust program, but multiple 2024 CVEs, a 2017 email-database breach, and heavy brand-impersonation phishing. |
| Support quality | Praised responsive; limited review sample | Only complaint threads found, no rating evidence |
| Public sentiment | Reviewers praise reliability, ease of use, and support quality, though some note simpler tools suffice for smaller needs.² | Users praise how easy signing is, but price is by far the most common complaint.16 |
| Biggest gotcha | Annual commitments are contractual defaults; early exit likely carries penalties, negotiate before signing.12 | Envelope limits and add-on fees mean real cost exceeds sticker price |
