What do you like best about DocSend?

How easy it is for us to create new spaces for new products and suppliers that we work with. Additionally, the format of how the documents are visible when we share links is one of the things that I love coming from a design background. Additionally, the lead capture and NDA portion of this makes it a much more secure way for us to share what we are doing and retain our sensitive information along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

It is difficult to pull the contacts in a clean format. Would love to be able to export a .csv

Would also be very beneficial to find a way to integrate our DocSend list to a CRM that organizes them such as Pipedrive or Hubspot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

If you need to send sensitive files this is absolutely a great way to do so, and would highly recommend using this platform. We utilize the platform every single day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have dealt with a lot of circumvention and miss use of documents in the PPE and chemical business throughout 2020. This platform has increased our ability to manage and track documents significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

The first thing is that it is straightforward to use, and understanding its analytics is also quite user-friendly. It has an advantageous feature that allows us to track who reads our documents and how many times. To be more precise, we like the insight it provides that indicates user interaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

The downside while using DocSend is that we cannot duplicate the documents right now and add or remove pages, and it is consuming time and effort when it comes to document editing and amendments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are storing and sharing our documents online among our team members and customers with optimum security and privacy, saving our time and resources making our overall workflow productive and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

Love how easy it is to upload and send documents to customers quickly, this has been a great tool for us. Also nice that settings can be changed to allow or disable downloads, expiration, etc. Another great feature is that you can quickly copy links and turn them on and off. The tracking is very useful but most of all we appreciate that someone does not have to create an account view document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

Wish there were more features on the paid version that allow for communication with the author-- such as ability to generate visible, clickable links to company website/company contact information on the document viewing screen for those who are viewing (rather than having to contact the author through descend itself). Other hyperlinks that could be created on the viewing screen would be helpful as well.

We have experienced that some company servers have a firewall that prevents them from opening DocSend links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to send quotes and product information to our customers, and can see if they've viewed the product information afterwards. The ability to send documents and track viewing without having the burden of having them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

Tracking the documents and easy to use platform, easy to upload files and update files, Easy to create links that can easily be shared with many organization. The visibility that you can have of the documents makes easy to continuously change the messages and determine if your message is reaching the intended goal or if the message needs to be updated in order to achieve what your are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

Limited collaboration to edit links, interface within an organization. We continuously have to update links based on the presentations updates and if the link was created by another team member it can be updated or de-activated. We have identify some fake emails that had been opening the deck certain validation will help on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

DocSend is a most for any organization that is open to feedback and that wants to continuously improve the message delivering. An if you are startups and going through the Fundraising process this will save your company and allow you to raise the money that you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking deck opening from venture capitals, gain visibility and identify what's really important within the document. Ability to adapt the storyline and messages of the documents. We have send many decks and through DocSend we were able to identify which part of the deck the people was spending most of the time. During the pitch is important to know if the VC priorities are related to the Market, the Product, the Team o the Financial Projections. Since we started using Docsend it was easily to adapt and we have been successful in reaching the VC's and further continue with the Fundraising process. The same thing with internal documents which allows us to understand what your team really cares about. Using this has enable to keep attract our team and continuously update those messages that they dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

DocSend is really easy to learn and quick to use. Affordable too.

I really like the alerts I receive when recipients view my content. It helps me know two things; 1) how to follow up with my prospects, 2) gauge their level of interest.

My company has been using a different service for documents that require signature, but I'm thrilled that DocSend now offers this. I'll be researching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

I sometimes wonder if my recipients are weary about clicking on a link that is not from my company. I can edit how the link reads, but I've heard that doing so increases likelihood of getting caught in spam filters. Not sure if that's true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

The alerts tell me whether my recipient clicks on the content I send. If they don't, I know the opportunity is not that important to them. It gives me the opportunity to ask my prospects more questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

It is very easy to use and it is powerful at the same time. Understanding who is opening which documents is very useful for next interactions, and also understanding which parts of a presentation are the ones that are being analyzed more detailed helps us understand in which areas we need to focus when presenting.

The E signature function has been very useful for our NDAs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

The spaces feature might be a little confusing at first. It was difficult to set the right privacy and content availability within our internal team. Once we revised the options better it was easier to understand.

Also, the automatic watermark feature takes time to master.

One feature that I believe doesn't work is the download feature and the watermark. Anyone can take the downloaded PDF and convert it to a PPTX and eliminate the watermark. It takes some work but it is not that difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

It is a service worth the price once you take advantage of all of its features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

Protecting your presentations from unwanted sharing, also tracking who actually opens the information, and how much they spend on each part helps us understand what are the key parts of them.

The flexibility of having different security measure for different documents and different recipients is very powerful. Also, being able t modified a file, and the security features of said file even after sending the link is very useful.

In COVID times the e signature feature has allowed us as a firm to be more agile when sending and having NDAs signed by our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

Being able to get insights into the people we share our resources with. It allows us to customize the commercial presentations and so on. Since we use Docsend, it's being easier for us to track and improve our sales documents accordingly thanks to the insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

It'd be great to categorize our material. Not a big deal, though. It'd also be great to have a monthly report so that we can improve our data-driven content improvements periodically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

Need to manage sales resources? Docsend is your solution, a no-brainer.

It's a bit expensive but it also eases the hassle of content management and distribution. I strongly recommend it to people that manage lots of lead or that it need to consolidate a lot of marketing or sales resources in a single place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't need to send PDF documents and pray for our leads to review them. Here I'm certain when and if a lead opens a resource and also measure their level of engagement with it.

It's also great for our clients because they don't need to download anything. A common problem of sending a PDF through email is that once they download it, it often gets lost in the download folder and the lead never actually reviewed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DocSend?

The platform provides a secure method in which to share documents, with a variety of features that make the process easy to tailor, when needed i.e. tracking, document downloading, etc. The new features with sharing are great--creating links with different settings. Also the ability to turn off viewability of documents or spaces after a certain period of time is proving very useful. Customizing spaces is a nice touch, as is the ability to organize Spaces either with sections or folders. Extremely easy to upload documents--drag and drop is always a convenient feature. As is being able to pull uploaded content into a number of different spaces. Also like that you can update document versions in Spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

Navigation between different areas of the platform aren't as straightforward as they could be. Example: if I'm in a Space, and have clicked into a document, there isn't a hyperlink to return back to main Space--the back button can prove problematic if changes have been made to the Space, and the only other apparent option is to click back on the main Spaces hyperlink and then re-enter the Space from there. Also, would be nice to designate downloadability of individual docs in a Space, whereas now in creating the Share link, it's either all docs are downloadable or not. We have come across some issues with viewing of docs between internal users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

DocSend is a great and easy to use platform in which to securely share documents and materials, with a variety of features and insights that make the process easy and even informative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

Secure document sharing. Ability to track those viewing content. Manner in which to transmit downloadable documents to users. The ability to be able to turn off documents and spaces after a period of time if very beneficial to us (and being able to set that time in advance even more useful), as it reduces our risk and liability, particularly because we do share confidential information with our clients.

What do you like best about DocSend?

Easy to use and feature rich. Intuitive and simple, but has all the extra things you might want to analyze performance. I like the view by page and time tracking. I also love the permission settings and ability to edit docs that you have already sent. All around a great tool and would recommend trying it out for sales, fundraising, or anything else that requires doc sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

Nothing major to note here. It works well for my business needs. The price is not insignificant, but overall worth it for all of the features that they offer. I also use Hubspot which has a lot of the same functionality, but is not as fun to use. Docsend could add more to its contact management and create some level of CRM. That would help me manage my doc sharing more easily. What else is there to say about this product. It works well and I would recommend it to most startups that need any of its functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

Try out the free trial. It's worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking and sendings docs is hard to do manually. Docsend makes it easy. Nobody likes having to do all of this stuff manually and not even knowing if people are looking at your docs and for how long. The customization of differEnt links, docs, data rooms, and other sharing methods makes this product a perfect one stop shop for all things sales, marketing, fundraising and more. Easy to use and feature rich. Intuitive and simple, but has all the extra things you might want to analyze performance. I like the view by page and time tracking. I also love the permission settings and ability to edit docs that you have already sent.

What do you like best about DocSend?

I really like that DocSend is able to help us reach potential investors by just sharing a link. The functionality of being able to see who is actually interested vs. not interested is something that is important as we are able to track all the potential investors that have the link. The ease of being able to upload new documents is super helpful especially since every month, not only does our business change, we have new items we would like to add to dataroom. Overall, I have had a great experience and continue to plan to use DocSend as our Company continues to go through subsequent rounds of equity financing rounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DocSend?

What I personally do not like about DocSend is that we aren't able to separate groups of investors into different distribution lists. Rather, we have different spaces set up for different groups of investors. The other thing is when uploading documents to the different folders within each section, I wish there was a function where we do not have to go into the folder. Rather, have the ability to stay at the home page and be able to see which documents are in each respective folder. This would limit our time so we don't have to waste going in and out of each folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering DocSend:

I would highly recommend DocSend to others that are looking to fundraise especially if they are a startup company. DocSend is helpful for us looking professional and also being able to track, which investors are interested or not. From the potential investor standpoint, it is super helpful as they do not have to keep asking us where certain documents are, rather they can take a deep dive and look themselves and get a more whole picture of our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DocSend solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem I am solving with DocSend is the ability to track where my sensitive documents are going and who is actually interested from a potential investor standpoint. This is helpful for me as I am able to see where there is true interest. I am also solving the time functionality of going back and forth with investors as this takes up a lot of my time. By doing this, I am able to cut my time down and really optimize on the fundraising front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
