Pros
We are very pleased to find that adding new features and migrating to a new version is so straightforward. The annotation tools are exactly what we needed for an internal document collaboration tool.
Cons
Although there is nothing negative about what they offer today, I would like them to add additional PDF services. These issues often took a while to resolve, sometimes taking months, but they were ultimately fixed. Fortunately, older versions would still work which gave us the option of rolling back while waiting for a fix to arrive.

Sales team are good but Technical support not listening to us or not helpful on critical issues. eg.. Digital signature issues,.
Pros
Compared to Adobe it is hard to find anything as good. This was the best alternative at the time.
Cons
Service on issues and features is slow and they do not listen and push back. They close tickets that are not resolved...very annoying issues system.

The pre-sales technical support was excellent and made it really fast and easy to spin up a POC .
Pros
PDFTron was by far the most feature rich product offering we looked at. Also the fact that they don't just wrap another open source rendering engine like PDFium gave us confidence they had built their product from the ground up and had total control.
Cons
The price tag was on the higher end compared to other alternatives but for enterprise software I think its worth it for all the features they offer. They were also flexible during pricing talks to find a comfortable landing spot that worked for both parties.
