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
iFax
  • 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.

  • 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.

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

Return on Investment

  • Having faxing capabilities makes my company look more professional.
  • It is helpful to have faxing capabilities to better communicate with other providers as well as insurance companies, however I have only noted a small ROI at this time.
  • With faxing capabilities my referrals have increased from providers.
