    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.

    PaperCut Software
    For environments that have multiple different departments or programs that would like to have printing costs tracked. The exact costs per page printed can be changed within the software - so exact costs can be calculated and billed back appropriately. It also makes printer management easier as you can see toner levels and any issues the printer may have remotely without having to utilize the printers GUI at all. Scan to folder/email options can be done on the admin side, so that it makes things easier for users

    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.

    PaperCut Software
    PaperCut is simply a solid product. PaperCut has been the ignition our company needed to take control of our budgets and also our carbon footprint. Through software we can manage our printing network with greater efficiency, reduce costs and enable our end users to take responsibility for their printing habits in a controlled way. The software is easy to deploy and integrates well with our windows based systems. We can easily delegate more advanced controls to power users and the controls are compatible with all major MFD hardware vendors.

    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.

    PaperCut Software
    The user community for PaperCut is smaller than other products we use in HR, IT, marketing and project management. We had an account manager assigned to us. Whenever we had any issues we would email him. The account manager was acting as an interface with the developers and other teams. The response times were reasonable.
