Here’s Our RightSignature Review (+ a Simpler Alternative)

Quick Summary

This article reviews RightSignature’s current features, strengths, and limitations following its integration with ShareFile. It covers its e-signature capabilities, pricing, and user experience while offering a simpler, more reliable alternative.

Looking For a Transparent RightSignature Review?

If you’ve been researching e-signature tools, you might’ve seen RightSignature mentioned in older reviews as a simple, affordable solution. Once a standalone platform, it aimed to make document signing easy and accessible.

But things have changed. RightSignature is no longer an independent product; it’s now just one of the features embedded within Citrix ShareFile.

In this SignWell article, we’ll break down what RightSignature now is, how it works, and why SignWell is the better choice for fast, straightforward, and compliant e-signatures.

But first…

Why Listen To Us?

At SignWell, we’ve helped over 65,000 businesses streamline how they send, sign, and manage documents. With millions of documents signed on our platform, we know what teams actually need and where tools like RightSignature can fall short. We’ve seen what keeps workflows moving, what creates friction, and what makes an e-signature solution truly worth using.

What Is RightSignature?

RightSignature was originally a cloud-based electronic signature platform designed to help businesses collect legally binding signatures on documents. The platform allowed users to upload documents, add signature fields, and send them for electronic signing through email notifications.

However, RightSignature as a standalone platform no longer exists. In 2023, Citrix consolidated RightSignature into its ShareFile platform, meaning you can no longer access RightSignature’s original interface or functionality independently. Instead, ShareFile now incorporates RightSignature’s e-signature technology as part of its broader document management suite.

This integration fundamentally changed how users access and experience what was once RightSignature’s streamlined e-signature capabilities.
