Agree vs. Adobe Acrobat

Last updated on

PS

Adobe Acrobat and Agree serve distinctly different needs in the eSignature market. Adobe Acrobat excels in document preparation and automation, making it ideal for large organizations needing sophisticated document workflows with extensive integration capabilities. Its superior field auto-detection and comprehensive field types make it perfect for high-volume document processing.

Conversely, Agree shines in payment collection and ease of use, making it better suited for small to medium businesses prioritizing simple, secure signing processes with integrated payments. While Adobe Acrobat offers broader functionality, Agree provides a more streamlined, security-focused experience with better identity verification features.

Advantages of Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat offers more comprehensive document preparation capabilities than Agree
Adobe Acrobat provides a wider range of field types including formula fields, conditional objects, and file uploads, which Agree lacks entirely. This makes Adobe Acrobat better suited for organizations needing complex document workflows with calculated values and conditional logic.

Adobe Acrobat connects with key platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft 365, while Agree only offers Dropbox integration on Enterprise plans. This makes Adobe Acrobat more suitable for businesses that need to seamlessly incorporate document signing into their existing workflows.

5/10

<p>Agree's functionality is nascent. Whilst it excels at payments</p>
7

Functionality

7/10

<p>Adobe Acrobat is a good eSignature solution with amazing auto-field detection. It supports web forms, payment collection (via Braintree), and has a mobile app. However, it's not great for large-scale sending, as it lacks bulk send and auto-fill features. There's no witness or in-person signing, and reports are almost non-existent, offering minimal insights beyond document status. Security includes password protection and audit trails, but no ID verification or KBA.</p>
Ease of Use

Ease of Use

9/10

<p>Agree's interface is very clean and intuitive. Key features are exactly where you’d expect. Pop-up tool tips are helpful without being intrusive.</p><p>The drag-and-drop builder is similarly easy to use. And the homepage clearly displays the status of your documents (draft, sent, executed).</p>
6

Ease of Use

6/10

<p>The platform is easy to use, though advanced document preparation takes some learning. Its clean, modern design and excellent field auto-placement speed up document creation. However, it lacks bulk sending and auto-fill from integrations, limiting workflow efficiency. A file upload field eliminates the need for separate document requests, and payment collection is available via Adobe Acrobat. However, documents cannot be edited and resent without voiding, making corrections less seamless.</p>

Look and feel

<p>Agree provides a modern and fast interface. It lacks any flashes of delight, but that doesn't matter. Pages load quickly and everything feels premium and designed with care.</p>
6

Look and feel

6/10

<p>Although Adobe Acrobat has a solid set of features, the interface is simple, modern, and has a nice theme. Navigation is straightforward, but it’s more of a file management platform than a typical layout for managing eSignature documents and tracking them. The drag-and-drop builder is easy to use.&nbsp;</p>
Customisability
5

Customisability

5/10

<p>Agree offers basic customisability - you can upload your logo and brand colour - but lacks the power of some of the larger eSignature platforms. Notably, your can't set the signing order, or set custom field properties. There is also no ability to create custom reports.</p>
4

Customisability

4/10

<p>Adobe Acrobat handles basic e-signatures but lacks advanced customizability like e-witnessing and in-person signing, limiting signing flows. User roles cannot be customized, and with no Zapier or API access, creating custom workflows isn't possible.</p>
Ease of Setup
8

Ease of Setup

8/10

<p>Agree is incredibly quick to set up. The free tier is self-serve, meaning there's not friction to getting started. And the product is so intuitive that we were ready to send out first contracts out in less than 5 minutes. That said, to access the Teams or Enterprise tiers you need to email Agree's team, which will slow you down.</p>
8

Ease of Setup

8/10

<p>Adobe Acrobat offers a free trial with self-serve purchasing for all tiers except Acrobat Sign Solutions, a separate product with extended eSignature features. Onboarding is simple, allowing users to create eSignature documents in 5–10 minutes. Custom branding is easy to set up, and other integrations are quick to configure, but there's no Zapier or API access. Setting up reusable templates, security settings, and signer roles may take a few hours.</p>

<p>Personalized Q&amp;A is available via phone, live chat, and request submission. Higher-tier plans get 24/7 support. Self-serve support includes a comprehensive Help Center and community forums with high-quality guides and tutorials.</p>
Integratability

Integratability

2/10

<p>Agree lacks commonly needed integrations - such as with CRMs (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) and non-US-centric accounting systems (e.g. Xero).</p>

Integratability

1/10

<p>Integrations are severely limited, with only Google Drive and Dropbox supported. It doesn’t integrate with platforms like Salesforce or Slack, and there’s no Zapier or API access, making custom integrations nearly impossible.</p>
Ease of Migration

Ease of Migration

5/10

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Agree offers minimal data export options. Finished documents can be exported in PDF format, and audit trails come in CSV format. A major drawback is the inability to download reports for tracking insights across multiple documents. With no native CRM integrations, data syncing is difficult—additional data must be exported via API for customization and automation.</span></p>

Ease of Migration

2/10

<p>Adobe Acrobat offers minimal data export options, partly due to no Zapier or API access. Finished documents and audit trails can be exported as PDFs, and another major drawback is the lack of downloadable reports for tracking insights across multiple documents.</p>
