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
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
If you've used eFax, you'll find iFax is more cost effective with similar services.
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
Consensus Cloud Solutions
  • 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.
