    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

    It is very easy to use. We utilize it to save and show the logs for as many apps as we want. You can use it as an addon on Heroku.

    Cons
    OpenText
    • 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.

    • Interface is aging and in need of a re-write. It's functional, but not all that nice to work with
    • While the logs are near-real-time, they could greatly improve the speed at which logs are available in the UI
    • Pricing plans are not all that competitive with newer offerings with other companies

    PaperTrail has become a basic app for me to save and see app logs. It is very easy to use, very intuitive and easy to customize. The feature I like most is that we can use it with several apps at same time.

    PaperTrail's live-tailing performance is adequate and searches over the recent history load quickly. Searching over long periods of time can be extremely slow, however.

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

    I only used Logz.io for a very brief time. It seemed a bit more difficult to setup than Papertrail.

    Return on Investment
    OpenText
    • 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)

    • Free plan is sufficient for development and small services, and the paid plans are very cheap at low log volume. For us, the price is right with PaperTrail - though I can't speak to how their pricing compares at very high volumes.
    • Adding cloud-logging to your apps can really speed up development and debugging - the impact to engineering productivity cannot be understated.
