In every aspect—be it drafting and editing, collaboration, eSign, document controls—everything, DocuX scores better than every point solution available. It's super easy, intuitive, and fast. It works!

Top reasons Google Docs users 
look for alternatives

#1

Does not cover complete docs and contracts life cycle

#2

Chaotic, bad and dated UX/UI in many parts

#3

Good only for collaboration- not for negotiations

Name something more frustrating than opening a word doc in google docs

The formatting chaos is indescribable

The most frustrating UX in the world is going to Google Docs, creating a new doc, realizing it's defaulted to your personal Google account instead of your work one, changing accounts - then being blocked out of your new document

the urge to have a google doc and add a bunch of people to it just to see chaos unfold (aka the absolute lag monster that would be)

Being on twitter right now is like being in a Google doc with other people editing. Things are moving around as I'm scrolling.

I'm sorry but google docs is horrible for collaborating unless everyone agrees on all the changes all the time and you never need to keep track of anything but the final document

For Google having started as a search business, the search function on Google Docs is incredibly awful

Literally nothing more annoying than someone lurking in/editing a Google doc whilst you’re working on it 💀

I'd like to go on record as saying that I absolutely hate editing in Google docs with a passion. I hate track changes editing anyway (all the crossing out when you move things is absolutely awful) but Google Docs editing is the worst.

One reason cloud collab tools (MS Word—>Google Docs) aren’t delivering the productivity gains we expected is collaborative scope creep.

We used to send a version or two for comment. Now without versioning friction we do excessive review/co-writing with diminishing returns.

Why choose DocuX
over Google Docs

Solves your problem end-to-end

Doc/contract creation is just the starting of your work. You need all-in-one platform that lets you collaborate, control, obtain approvals and eSign docs/contracts. Google Docs does not offer that, DocuX does.

Business data use and security

With DocuX, your business data is secure and used only to provide services to you. Not for marketing purposes- directly or indirectly. DocuX has no access to your business data. There is no conflict of interest.

Get single source of truth

Say goodbye to docs and contracts scattered across versions, devices, emails, tools, and users. With DocuX, every doc/contract is a reliable, single source of truth.

Ditch the back-and-forth

Move all collaboration and reviews out of mailbox and scattered tools onto the doc. With DocuX, 100% of the internal and external collaboration happens on-the-doc.

Workspace makes you more productive

DocuX automates all the noise that passes for work. Docs are segregated, prioritized, sorted, and controlled for you. It is your new-age Virtual Assistant.

Compatibility with all tools

.docx and .pdf documents generated on DocuX are a universal formats that works with MS Word, Google Docs and all other tools.
