Chose eFax Corporate
eFax Corporate creates PDFs that negate the use of the previously used technology, as well as having an easier user face that helps assist in creating a faster training plan. The price point is beneficial for this reason as more time can be applied to new hires learning other …

On the other tools we checked, the API support wasn't sufficient enough for our needs.
Chose eFax Corporate
eFax is for serious business professionals and it comes with so many tools, including a free App and a desktop app, which makes it extremely easy for you and your employees to send and receive faxes. You can take a photo of a document and fax it over to someone in another state …

None. We were recommended to use eFax and did not test any other product.
Chose eFax Corporate
We have used eFax since I began working for the company over 9 years ago and have found no reason to change. The price is good for the amount it is needed. We often go a month or two without using it but need to have it just in case.
Chose eFax Corporate
Admittedly, the only other service I have used to electronically fax is Genesys Cloud, which has a faxing feature. The two aren't really comparable, since eFax solely focuses on faxing, while faxing is just a side feature of Genesys. While eFax isn't as clean or easy to use, it …
Chose eFax Corporate
Ease of use and setup was the determining factors. eFax was rated as one of the top services for electronic fax and has competitive pricing for enterprise level solutions and service. Management of users is great but still could use some easier functions of user clean up and/or …
Chose eFax Corporate
We have never used any other product. Our research led us to eFax. Wouldn't change the service. Great experience with the company. All employees are familiar with service and love its capability.

Chose iFax
I researched both eFax and iFax, but ultimately went with the iFax company. The level of technical support and the efficiency of the sales team impressed me and really helped make my overall decision. I want a product that is powered by real people that I can easily talk to …
Chose iFax
compared to other fax over the internet companies, iFax is the best, easiest and quickest one I've ever used. The other ones that I've used in the past no longer exist and should say something about iFax. They have managed to stay afloat among a sea of garbage companies that do …
Chose iFax
it was a phone based product not a computer product when I used it, but I believe it is also a computer product also.
Chose iFax
iFax is free depending on the number of faxes you are sending. Bu the paid plans are reasonable and affordable. I have not used any other fax software, I do not know how ifax stacks against the competition but based on what I have seen, ifax will give them a run for their …
Chose iFax
the services were honestly the same but efax forces you to add a credit card so that they can charge you once a month in order to get their free trial. I only sent one fax with efax this year and canceled immediately. at least with ifax I can send one small document per month.
Chose iFax
I prefer iFax because they have a genuine free version account, which is perfect for my business right now. I've used eFax in the past, but only for their trial period. Even the lowest paid plan with eFax was unnecessary for my level of usage and it didn't make sense for me to …

For the daily faxing needs, eFax gets the job done. We get notified when the fax has been received or sent successfully, but it takes so long at times. I'm not sure if it's eFax's encryption system that is delaying the Rx/Tx time, but it needs to be improved immediately.

iFax is the best for people who need to submit documents to government agencies and offices that don't use email as a means to sends pdf files and other forms of documents like word, excel, etc. It is best for those who only need to send less than 5 pages of documents to the recipient.

Cons
  • The user interface could use some work, as it's a little dated looking, and it's not so simple to receive faxes, at times.
  • Administrator functions. If the user's account is locked for any reason, the administrator cannot unlock their account. It causes a lot of inconveniences.
  • Unable to see the bill. For whatever reason, eFax does not allow viewing the bill from the online portal.

  • I would like to see a better price package that caters to small clinics.
  • The clarity of uploaded logo images is not the best and improvement is needed to promote a more professional look.
  • I am not aware of any referral offers for small business that refer other clinics to use the product, which would be helpful to all parties.

eFax support is great. They are quick to assist you with any issue regarding eFax. I haven't had to wait long on support services or answers. During an outage seems to be when the queue times get long but on a normal day, they are quick to answer and fast on a solution.
