HelloFax vs. OpenText XM Fax

It's extremely easy to get started with faxing as a small business. It's the best/cheapest standalone solution I have found for faxing. I'm a solo entrepreneur and it does everything I need it to do.

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

Incentivized

• Sending faxes
• Showing me whether a fax has been successfully sent
• Receiving faxes

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• I don't use the sign + fax functionality because I'm already using hellosign / dropbox sign to sign things
• I originally used my personal email to set up my log in but I am not able to change it to my professional email because of overlaps with an account with hellosign / dropbox sign
• It would be nice if it warned me if I'm trying to send a fax to a number that hasn't worked in the past

Incentivized

• 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.

It doesn't fit very well into my workflow to send a fax via email. I like having it in one separate place better. RingCentral is expensive and I have other tools already that do what it does (phone, etc.)

Incentivized

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

• Don't have to get a fax machine or leave my house to send a fax (i.e. at a Staples, etc.)
• I don't have to worry about paying hundreds of dollars a month for a bundled solution that I might not get enough value from

Incentivized

• I m not sure on pricing or how XMedius is pricing solutions now
• Cloud-based / vs On-Prem I think my vote always goes for on Prem
• ROI (not my field)
