----------Aug 21, 2023 Update ----------
UI issues have been fixed over the last week, and the developer seems to respond in a timely manner. At the very least, there appears to be passion for this product.
This esign solution appears to focus on a dynamic variable design, which looks for keywords/brackets on a PDF and autofills in information. Unfortunately, at this time there doesn't seem to be a more traditional option of designating specifically where one should sign and/or other input boxes (which I believe is a must have in many types of businesses).
At the very least, after experimenting with this a bit more, the product is simple and polished for what it offers. I would recommend looking into it for business startups, especially if you are equipped to handle newer forms of contracts.
---------- ORIGINAL REVIEW ----------
Buggy, unfinished, and awkward. Not sure what is 2.0 about this service, but it's a bad sign when the UI is cut off before even uploading a document. In addition, there was no option to place where signatures were supposed to go (or any other info for that matter) - it simply asked the other user to sign, and then added an addendum to the pdf document with the signatures.
It "works". Just not good enough to actually use in any sort of business environment.
We greatly appreciate your thoughtful feedback on your experience with GoatSign. It's important for us to hear about our users' experiences, especially as a startup looking to improve and grow.
Regarding the UI issue that you encountered, we're already working diligently to resolve this. Our team is actively addressing the screen size compatibility to ensure a seamless user experience for everyone.
We understand that you found our service to be lacking in options for placing dynamic values and signatures. We'd like to clarify that while the free version of GoatSign does indeed have limitations, we offer a paid version with a comprehensive set of features tailored to meet a variety of professional needs. Our paid version includes an array of customizable options for dynamic values designed to provide users with a heightened level of control and precision.
Furthermore, we'd like to clarify our signature process. GoatSign assigns a unique signatureID to each page within the document, and the final PDF document is also signed with a certificate. This cryptographic approach ensures the document's integrity and prevents unauthorized modifications. We're proud to share that this method is in line with industry standards and is employed by other reputable players in the market.
Thank you once again for your valuable insights. Should you have any further thoughts or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out. We look forward to the opportunity to deliver a GoatSign experience that aligns seamlessly with your expectations.
Well in Chinese astrology, the Goat or sheep is associated with straits such as gentleness, creativity and easygoing nature. People born under the goat sign are often considered artistic empathetic and kind-hearted individual.
I guess that kind of fits GoatSign as well. At least we strive for the solution to be straight forward and easy to use, which should enable your creativity.
