    It's great for presentations. It makes even the most drab presentation more interesting, and gives you the ability to add animated elements to your presentation. Everybody uses Microsoft PowerPoint, but for Mac it's a little slow and unresponsive. Flip PDF Pro for Mac kind of solves that issue – you can build your project in InDesign, export it out, then import it into Flip PDF Pro. It sounds like a bit of a process but it's actually very easy. Any designer can pick it up and run with it.

    XMedius is well suited for a large business with hundreds of fax numbers. Could you imagine trying to manage 1000 individual fax machines? That would be a nightmare! Instead it's all in one neat place

    Pros
    FlipBuilder
    • You can customize or add certain things like your title, logo, toolbar icon appearance, background, fonts, etc. It feels a lot like a design program – which is nice, as a designer.
    • The program allows you to embed almost any sort of media into your flip book – GIFs are easy to add in and work with, they add a dynamic element to your presentation (which wasn't possible before).
    • You can create these things called “hot spots” – basically certain trigger areas in your document that can activate something when clicked – like take you to a e-commerce site, for example.

    • Contacted sales to set up the creation of enterprise accounts directly through the dashboard.
    • XM Fax Support worked directly with Xerox to correct an issue I had with a device software update. Issues correct within a few days.
    • XM Fax provided onsite sales support for sales and technical training.

    Cons
    FlipBuilder
    • My documents sometimes had a problem with import and output – sometimes it would take a substansial amount of time to export something.
    • In their mulit-lingual version, our freelance linguist caught some mistakes, some words were not translated or translated into other languages – which can make us look pretty bad.
    • There's a limit on audio you can output for each page in your document – it had to be "one audio for two pages".

    • Error logs include error codes, but sometimes it is hard to understand what it means. Either a shared documentation or detailed error log might help end users better to detect any issue on fax requests.

    There are several PDF conversion programs out there, but really Flip PDF Pro for Mac is probably the best one that I've encountered. The amount of versatility in the program really sells it to me. It works just like a design program, but as a customizable PDF, and it's easy-to-use interface really helps speed things up with our workflow and process. There's a lot of competitors out there, but none of them really stack up.

    XMedius does faxing for a quick response from an end user where Egnyte is best suited for secure file transfer.

    Return on Investment
    FlipBuilder
    • It makes our presentations more interesting and dynamic.
    • It allows us to go around using Microsoft PowerPoint (which is a little slow and unresponsive on Mac).
    • Using its animation and hotlink elements, we're able to broaden our services with this program. It really helps out a lot.
