An Easier, More Feature-packed Alternative to Zoho Sign | CocoSign

Among a bewildering variety of e-signature tools, Zoho Sign has gained much presence in the market. Though CocoSign is new on the scene, by comparing them bit by bit, it has already become a better fit for your signing needs when it comes to features, user experience, and customer support.

CocoSign makes up for Zoho Sign's shortcomings

Zoho Sign falls short of the expectations of many users in terms of functionality (concrete evidence will be presented). It lacks many essential features including In-person Signing, Folder Creation, and Advanced Branding. We will look at how CocoSign can make up for such deficiencies in detail.

Branding

“Cons: I wish the fields that you enter in documents are more dynamic (able to shrink if the data entered is too long for the space). More branding ability would not hurt either.”

Zoho Sign merely holds some general branding functions like tailoring brand logo and color, but there remains scope for improvement. Not content with these features alone, CocoSign allows advanced rebranding, enabling companies to specify post-signing redirection URLs and incorporate business names into the signing link.

In-person Signing

“Cons: I don't like that you can't have somone sign an electronic document in front of you, I'm waiting for this feature to be released before I will be able to implement this into our process."

Zoho Sign only allows users to sign via email, while conversely, CocoSign’s in-person signing eliminates the need for email. The process is easy. Once the document is ready for signatures, you hand over the e-device to the signer and let them sign the document directly, with efficiency boosted in leaps and bounds.

Folder Creation

“Cons: I would to create folders in Templates. There is a search bar which is helpful but with a variety of documents that we send, folders would be helpful.”

We all know how it is. You have lots of signed documents and have to scroll through them to find the necessary one. That’s when a folder can come in very handy. Yet, unfortunately, Zoho Sign does not come with this feature and all your documents may become a cluttered mess. On the contrary, CocoSign is a handy organizer helping you sort your documents in order and locate them faster.

Branding

“Zoho Sign can be more complicated for certain recipients to use. Some people I work with are just turned off by it and find it hassle or confusing to deal with. So I'll occasionally have to send a regular PDF file or fax a document to be signed.”

User experience

CocoSign cares more about user experience

Although Zoho Sign's dashboard seems simple to use, it lacks walkthrough instructions on how to use the product, so chances are that users find themselves in a bind. However, CocoSign always values user experiences, and therefore, help is at hand. We have prepared easy-to-spot guidelines and a video tutorial beforehand, to walk you through the steps thoroughly, so you won’t be at a loss as to how to proceed at the beginning.

Customer support

CocoSign offers customer support of higher quality

Customers wait for a long time to get a response from Zoho Sign despite its promise of providing 24/7 timely customer support. By comparison, here at CocoSign, we offer one-to-one and white-glove customer support that works around your schedule, and that is responsive, empathetic, and helpful.

Noticeably, Zoho Sign only scored an 8.4 for Quality of Support on G2, whereas CocoSign achieved a rating of 9.7.
