Docusign vs. PandaDoc FAQs
Docusign is the one innovative eSignature platform you can trust with all of your agreements. We remove the friction in the eSignature process and help you build trust, by adding intelligence to the process and unlocking valuable data for everyone. This makes it easier for people to negotiate, make decisions faster and understand the risks involved.
SMB businesses in Europe are choosing Docusign over PandaDoc as Docusign can help with identity verification for signers, has 900+ native integrations, accepts all types of documents, offers bulk send and even more.
PandaDoc can work for simple use cases but doesn’t have as many capabilities as the full Docusign platform.
With Docusign, you can take advantage of a full suite of products to make your agreement processes smarter, easier and more trusted.
Docusign has products beyond simple e-signature to help you verify signer identity, automate agreement workflows, store and manage agreements, and analyse agreements.
PandaDoc offers simple e-signatures but can’t help address the larger challenges organisations face with their agreement workflows.

Docusign’s solutions enable you to electronically sign while meeting the requirements of eIDAS. eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is an EU law that oversees electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the European Union’s internal market, including electronic signature transactions. Brexit has not had any material impact on the legal validity and admissibility of electronic signatures under UK law. Accordingly, Brexit did not adversely impact the use of e-signing platforms following the end of the Brexit transitional period in December 2020.
This regulation defines two types of certificate-based signatures called Advanced and Qualified electronic signatures (or AES and QES), which require identity authentication before a digital certificate is issued.
An electronic signature makes it fast, easy and simple to sign agreements and contracts. Docusign eSignature has been used in more than one billion transactions across over 180 countries to create legally enforceable agreements.
