Cons:
- The business cases for such solutions usually consists of continuous cost around ~400 USD /user/license/year, depending on solution/offer.
- The system requires that you upload your data to an server or database.
- Difficult to investigate and show the "digital hierarchical trust" during an audit. (your PDF are digitally signed by one external party, but contains pictures of signatures)
