    eFax

    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.

    GoTo Connect

    Great for a low-budget option/smaller businesses who need softphone capabilities and basic salesforce integration. Less appropriate for larger businesses who need more robust call reporting among agents, more options for dial plans or call routing, and more features. If crystal clear call quality is a high priority, GoTo Connect may not be right for those situations either.

    • Secure communications - all the communication data is handled and stored in the global privacy-compliant servers and methodologies.
    • Eliminates the need to have hardware VoIP phones - VoIP calls can be made directly from the desktop, mobile, and other PDA devices.
    • Unlimited call queues - a great feature for our support team handling huge traffic of requests and tickets on a daily basis.

    Cons

    eFax

    • 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.

    GoTo Connect

    • Not as modern as some other platforms available - This could be seen as a pro or a con, but having additional options like color scheme, statuses, and profile picture options make the user experience more personalized and fun.
    • Lack of integration - Being able to link more than just your personal email to GoToConnect would be handy, such as time-tracking or your calendar.
    • Uncertain if meetings are private - Anyone with a link can join a meeting, therefore I question how easy it is for someone outside of the company to join a meeting that was not meant for them. Maybe a password option would add a buffer of security.

    I don't think we would ever consider using something different. We are committed to the excellent service, fair prices, and quality product that GoToConnect offers us. We've recommended GoToConnect to all of the local offices in our field; but their loss is our gain. We have been able to increase productivity, increase clientele, and increase profit margin.

    For our logistics side of the business, we use eFax to receive orders. We are using it to transmit a variety of documents as well. It comes in handy if you really need to accept faxes.

    [...] The overall usability is different depending on the medium in which the user is utilizing for the call. On a stable connection in front of a laptop or desktop, it is a top-notch system. When the user tries to go mobile, he or she can really start to experience defects in the usability and overall experience.

    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.

    The support offered by GoToConnect is exceptional. Every agent I have spoken with has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I can say, I never ended a call frustrated or hung up because of a language barrier or an inability of the agent to resolve the issue at hand with one phone call. I absolutely love the fact that they not only stay on the phone with you to resolve an issue (no matter how long it takes), they follow up via email to make sure the issue was fully resolved. I can say that you all definitely have RingCentral beat from a customer service standpoint.

    We changed from a landline (horrible and expensive) to Verizon One Talk (WORLD'S WORST PRODUCT) to Vonage (GIANT DISASTER) to GoToConnect. GoToConnect not only met all of our needs but exceeded our expectations with the services we receive. We could not have had a better process for set up; it actually worked like it was supposed to and gave us more than what we needed!

    Alternatives Considered

    eFax

    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 in a few minutes!

    GoTo Connect

    I have used large scale call center software. When I came into this company, I went back to my old phone vendor to see about putting that system into the firm. It was neither cost effective or practical. I quickly came up to speed with GoToConnect and became a true believer.

    • We are easily able to expand coverage to a new branch, and set up new connections very smoothly.
    • We are much more efficient through layering the phone groups that ring for incoming calls based on time unanswered.
    • As the system administrator, I have had a very low number of issues that I wasn't able to resolve on my own.
