Bicom Systems vs. eFax Corporate

Small to medium-sized businesses looking for a reliable and flexible communication solution would definitely see their IP telephony taken to the next step with PBXware and its ability to configure lots of different call scenarios, have an ability to manage their working hours very precisely but also businesses with multiple locations that require centralized communication and management or even service providers looking to offer their own hosted PBX services to their clients. I would end by saying that call centers or customer service departments that require advanced call routing and management features would definitely be satisfied using PBXware Call Center edition and gloCOM Agent & Supervisor edition that contains advanced queue features and real time monitoring.

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.

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.
