What do you like best?

I researched a few eSignature software apps and settled on airSlate SignNow a couple years ago. As CFO and head of business development, I use airSlate SignNow frequently for partnership agreements and shareholder docs. I like the uncluttered user interface, which makes using this product straightforward and fast. It also saves time to upload commonly used agreements as templates into airSlate SignNow. Adding additional users in our organization is easy and cost effective.

What do you like best?

The most significant benefit is that it's easy for my clients. They're able to fill out and sign contracts I send them with ease. Using templates is very positive for me too - I send out the same contract many times, and being able to do that efficiently is very beneficial.
