Smartwaiver is a cheap, useful e-sign application
Reviewed on 10/01/2021

Overall, Smartwaiver is an excellent product - especially when compared to other e-sign solutions that either offer a worse interface/lack of features, or offer similar features at a much higher price. This product has given us a simple solution to a problem we had with online signatures, and while it is complicated to use, it is incredibly useful.
Pros
Smartwaiver has numerous useful features, most important being their comprehensive form setup that allow you to setup a simple online form to collect permission forms & signatures. I've used this for over a year to collect permission forms from parents, and never had an issue, even from parents who are not very tech-savvy. The front-end side of Smartwaiver is incredibly simple to use. This tool is especially useful since it creates a simple & straightforward form, and allows people to fill out one form for multiple people.
Cons
Smartwaiver offers many features and a simple front-end design, but it's back-end/admin side leaves a lot to be desired; especially when it comes to creating an online form. Smartwaivers forms are very useful and look good once setup, but the setup process is quite the chore - with numerous options and few explanations that make it difficult to learn and setup. I spent many hours setting up a single form, which I have just duplicated over and over again to avoid going through the whole process once again. However each time I setup a new form (only once every couple months), I have to sort through all the options once again and try to relearn the whole system. The features offered are all useful, just complicated. Paired with all the other features from Smartwaiver that are not explained, and this platform has a lot to offer - if you're willing to put in the work to learn.

Perfect fit for our needs

I have been pleased with the ease and functionality of Smartwaiver.
Pros
SmartWaiver has been a great addition to our company operations. It integrates into our booking software with ease. The usability is so easy, most things I can handle on my own. One of the key features that drew us to SmartWaiver was the ability to put our account in maintenance mode for our off season and not be charged the full monthly rates.
Cons
There have been a few hiccups along the way, but nothing major and the SmartWaiver team quickly and easily remedied the issues.

The support team responds quickly and provides easy to follow instructions. Also, when I've had billing questions, they were handled effectively too.
Pros
We need to have participants sign waivers whenever they join our program. All activities take place outdoors, so our coaches have the waivers on their phones. It's very easy to hand the phone to a new participant and have the complete the waiver.
Cons
It would be extremely helpful to see which kiosk (cell phone) was used to get each signature so we know how many people we are serving at each location. Now we have to pull up every waiver, look at the time and date, tag it with a specific program location, and then filter by tags, one location at a time. A report that showed counts by tag (or ideally kiosk name) for a user defined date range would save us a lot of time.

Overall experience is great. I've been using Smartwaiver for 4 years and so far only contacted the support once.
Pros
Easy to use, easy to integrate to another platform, I can upload my own template and change it anytime.
Cons
1. A bit pricey.
2. I can't send waiver as an attachment to customer's email direct from the dashboard. I can only send the link. This is quite a challenge for our seniors customer due to them not a tech savvy.

A flexible digital waiver that can be easily configured and deployed
Reviewed on 19/09/2023
Pros
We run a distributed volunteer based non-profit that requires liability waivers for each customer. We used paper waivers and they just don't work for a distributed operation like ours. I researched potential solutions and Smartwaiver had the right features that allowed us to customize the waiver to match our paper waivers, allow for digital signatures, and was easily deployed across our partners and volunteers via the Smartwaiver Kiosk mobile app. Now we have a fully digitized waiver system as well as a way to track who our customers are. Volunteers can just download and register the kiosk app and it is easily administered via the admin console.
Cons
I have found a few bugs which I've reported. While they have been acknowledged, I haven't seen them result in an update of the software yet.

Pros

Cons
It would be nice to link the Minor Waiver to the Adult Waiver as customers get a bit irritated when they have to input the same infomation again. Setting up on line waiver video would be helpful as this is something we need to do.

We are saving trees and storage from all the paper waivers we had to keep in the past. From a legal/liability perspective, the log of signed waivers is important and when needed, very easy to pull up and print a specific waiver. Customers love it too. Easy to complete and repeat users don't have to sign again.
Pros
Our initial reason for adding Smartwaiver was to reduce the amount of paper we were using for liability waivers. The electronic waiver is a game changer and for repeat customers, they are one and done. They don't have to complete waivers every visit. The search feature makes this super easy.We also have our waivers linked to our Fareharbor reservation software so the links go automatically to the customers and the majority complete them before arriving. This saves time at the shop. The waiver home page on our kiosk allows us to have the different activities color coded which is very helpful on a busy day.Seasonal usage options- you can turn the level of waivers needed up and down based on seasonal volumes. Works great and saves money on the off season.
Cons
Initial set up is a little time consuming but once it is done, use is seamless. The team at Smartwaiver is very responsive to questions and build suggestions.

Pros
The pandemic forced us to find an online solution for our activity waivers. Smartwaiver ticks all the boxes and more. Customisable form, looks like our branding, is simple for the customer to use, easy dshboard on the backend. Constantly improving its offering. This season sees it integrated with picthrive, bravo SW team :)
Cons
Customers tick medical issue, but fail to complete any details. Having the option of a conditional rule would be great. If they tick yes to medical, they must complete the further details box. Many customers are just box tickers. I waste time checking why there's a red flag, when theres not medical issue.

I use Smartwaiver for our hiking tours and beekeeping experiences. People have the ease now to directly click on the waiver link in their booking confirmation email and sign it directly on the Smartwaiver page. Works like a charm.
Pros
It simply works. No hassle to set it up. I like that I can simply make my waiver the way I want it and that there is not a specific template I must use or otherwise I doesn't work like with other companies. Easy overview of the signed waivers, the kiosk works. All thumbs up.
Cons
All good! I can't complain about anything :-)

The support team has been great to deal with. The product delivers most everything that we need at a third of the cost of high end competitors
Pros
Smartwaiver does just what we need as a moderate sized kayak tour operator. The user interface is fairly intuitive, it handles what we need for custom fields and can manage events as well as our regular day to day tours. The pricing model is very reasonable and the company is flexible in how they apply those limits
Cons
Better reporting would take them to the next level. Also sometimes our integration with Fareharbor fails - not enough for me to spend time figuring out where the issue lies, but enough to notice it.

The Smartwaiver team has been great to work with. We were up and running in our trial in a few hours. They created my first waiver for me from my old paper form, and I was able to build my second one myself in a few minutes. The system is very intuitive for both admins and customers.
Pros
I love having a secure, customer-friendly way to capture waiver signatures that meets my customers where they are - QR Code for mobile, links I can email, kiosk mode, or embedded into my website/landing pages.
Cons
I wish the look/feel of events pages could be customized. I would prefer a different color scheme.
