Why teams choose Asignu instead of Adobe Sign

01

Unlimited Advanced Electronic Signatures

Advanced Electronic Signatures provide stronger signer authentication and a higher level of assurance than Simple Electronic Signatures.

Asignu includes unlimited AES usage within every regular subscription. This makes costs easier to predict for HR, finance, legal and operational teams that use stronger signatures regularly.

02

A more focused signing platform

Not every team needs extensive PDF editing, document conversion or enterprise integration functionality. Many businesses primarily need to upload documents, add recipients, define a signing order, track progress and maintain an audit trail.

Asignu focuses on these practical electronic-signature workflows without requiring teams to adopt a broader PDF platform.

03

Built around European requirements

Asignu is an EU-based provider with European hosting and support that understands eIDAS and European signing requirements. This makes it a focused choice for organisations that value European data handling, regulatory context and direct regional support.

When Adobe Acrobat Sign may be the better fit

Adobe Acrobat Sign may be the better option when electronic signing is part of a wider PDF, integration or enterprise document environment.

Advanced PDF capabilities

Adobe Acrobat provides extensive tools for creating, editing, converting, protecting, comparing and redacting PDF documents. This is valuable for teams that want PDF preparation and signing within the same ecosystem.

Enterprise integrations

Adobe Acrobat Sign offers established integrations with platforms such as Microsoft, Salesforce, Workday and SAP Ariba. Its API also supports custom and embedded signing workflows.

Broad trust service provider network

Adobe Acrobat Sign supports digital signatures through a large network of trust service providers. This gives enterprises flexibility when implementing AES, QES and other certificate-based signing workflows across different countries.
