FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Treasure Sign an alternative to Adobe Acrobat Sign?
For companies that want to closely connect signatures with contract review, approval, CRM and contract management, Treasure Sign can be an alternative. If you need a very broad, independent signature platform with web forms, mass mailings and numerous global special configurations, you should check the Adobe functionality separately.
Which solution is stronger in Microsoft 365?
Adobe Acrobat Sign offers broad Microsoft integration and is strong as a general signature solution in document-oriented Microsoft processes. Treasure is focused on contract work and offers a Word add-in in its first version: view AI review findings in Word, jump to the source passage, insert suggestions as tracked changes and save the version in Treasure. A SharePoint connector is coming soon.
Do both solutions support audit trails?
Yes. Adobe Acrobat Sign documents signature transactions and stores audit trails. Treasure additionally maps signature events to the contract's previous review and approval process.
How do I decide between Adobe Acrobat Sign and Treasure Sign?
Choose by process goal: Adobe is strong when an established, broad signature platform is the focus. Treasure is a good fit if you want to map review, approval, signature and storage in one controlled process.
