| Functionality | 9 <p>Zoho Sign provides a complete eSignature solution, supporting web forms and payment collection while signing. The drag-and-drop builder allows customization with validation and custom fields. Users can control signing order, delegation, e-witnessing, and in-person signing, with team permission management. However, reporting is limited, as Zoho Sign’s reports don’t track key insights like completion time or completion rate. Instead, it only categorizes documents by status (in progress, recalled, expired, completed, document type, etc.). Security features include password protection and ID verification.</p> | 6 <p>Signeasy provides a very easy-to-use eSignature solution but that comes with major limitations in some regular, and many advanced, eSignature features. It doesn’t support payment collection, signer delegation, or e-witnessing. A massive drawback is field customizability—no custom fields, formula fields, conditional fields, or dropdowns. It also lacks auto-suggestion for field placement and auto-fill from integrations, making document setup more manual. Security is weak—no password protection, ID verification, or knowledge-based authentication, only 2-Factor Authentication.</p> |
| Ease of Use | 7 <p>The platform is easy to use, though advanced document preparation takes some learning. The clean, modern design and field auto-placement make document creation faster. The builder supports custom fields, so you can reuse validation across documents. Bulk sending, auto-reminders, and auto-fill from integrations help speed up workflows. A file upload field eliminates the need for separate document requests, and Zoho Sign allows payment collection through Zoho Checkout. Users can also edit and resend documents without voiding them, making corrections quick and simple.</p> | 10 <p>For basic e-signature sharing and collecting, Signeasy maintains a good range of features and its limited functionality contributes to its ease of use rating. If you're focused on core e-signature needs and don't require advanced reporting or complex workflows, the pie chart report view works great for tracking document statuses. The lack of payment collection, and other advanced features keeps the focus on e-signatures, making it exceptionally user-friendly.</p> |
| Look and feel | 7 <p>Although Zoho Sign has a solid set of features, the interface feels functional but not the most refined. Navigation is straightforward, but some advanced controls could be better organized. The UI is modern but lacks polish in certain areas.</p><p>The drag-and-drop builder is easy to use but not as advanced as some competitors. The reports section categorizes documents by status (in progress, recalled, expired, completed etc.), but it lacks deeper insights like completion time or completion rate, making tracking less intuitive for high-volume users.</p> | 8 <p>Signeasy keeps things simple, and that's its strength. The interface is clean and modern, with everything right where you'd expect to find it. The drag-and-drop builder is easy to use, and while you won't get fancy reporting features, their simple pie chart is perfect for tracking document status at a glance.</p> |
| Customisability | 8 <p>Zoho Sign offers flexibility with branding, field properties, signing order, and team permissions. It supports formula fields, custom fields, and conditional logic to show or hide objects based on inputs. In-person signing, e-witnessing, and signer delegation cover all signing flows. However, it lacks custom reports, a major limitation for businesses needing detailed insights. However, you can’t generate tailored reports or track key metrics beyond basic status views.</p> | 5 <p>Signeasy handles basic e-signatures but lacks key advanced features. No e-witnessing and signer delegation means some signing flows aren’t covered. A major drawback is the absence of custom reports, forcing API reliance for insights. It also lacks custom user permissions. Field options are heavily limited—no dropdowns, custom fields, formula fields, or conditional objects. You're mostly restricted to placing basic input fields without real control over form customization, making it far less flexible than other solutions.</p> |
| Ease of Setup | 6 <p>Zoho Sign offers a free trial, with self-serve purchasing for all tiers except custom plans. The onboarding process is simple, allowing users to create eSignature documents within 5–10 minutes. Integrations like Salesforce, Google Drive, Dropbox, Stripe, PayPal, and Slack can be set up through Zoho Flow, reducing manual effort. Custom permission profiles and branding are easy to configure. Despite its many features, the help docs are well-organized and detailed. Setting up reusable templates, security settings, and user roles takes a few hours, while enterprise-level setup may take 1–2 weeks.</p> | 10 <p>Signeasy offers a simple onboarding process with a free trial and self-serve purchasing for all tiers except custom plans. Users can create their first eSignature document within minutes, and setting up templates, security settings, and signer roles takes a couple of hours at most due to the limited customizability. You can't set custom permissions for team members, and branding is straightforward to configure. Integration options are very limited - with no Zapier support, connecting to other platforms requires API development.</p> |

Their Help Center offers extensive resources including guides, documentation, FAQs, forums, and blogs.

| Integratability | 7 <p>Zoho Sign integrates with major platforms through various methods. 1st-party integrations via Zoho Flow include Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Dropbox, Stripe, PayPal, and Slack. 3rd-party integrations are available for Google Drive (via Google Workspace Marketplace). Zoho Sign also offers Zapier integration for connecting to thousands of additional apps, and provides an API for custom integrations and automation.</p> | 2 <p>Integrations are severely limited, although it integrates with HubSpot and Google Drive natively. It doesn’t integrate with most platforms like Salesforce or Slack, and there’s no Zapier. Most connections require their API, so if you’re not familiar with coding, options are minimal.</p> |
| Ease of Migration | 7 <p>Zoho Sign offers multiple ways to export completed document data. Finished documents can be exported as PDFs, audit trails are available in CSV format. A wide range of reports can be downloaded as CSV or PDF. Some native CRM integrations allow easy data syncing, and additional data can be exported through the API for further customization and automation.</p> | 4 <p>Signeasy offers minimal data export options. Finished documents can be downloaded as PDFs, with options for document-only, audit trail-only, or both. Reports can be downloaded for custom dates but only show basic stats—sent, completed, declined, voided, self-signed, signature requests received, and expired (per team member). With no native integrations except HubSpot, data syncing is limited, requiring API exports for customization and automation.</p> |
