PaperTrail vs. Sfax

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.

Sfax is great for sending and receiving a high volume of faxes encrypted/HIPAA compliant documents. Sfax makes tracking the status of faxes easy and quick. Sfax may not be the most efficient or effective system for low volume faxing.

• 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

• Functionality can sometimes be difficult.
• No driver compatibility with MAC operating system.

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.

Sfax customer service is good, but can be a little slow to provide updates and solutions.

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

Sfax fits better with our company's needs and HIPAA compliance needs.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Sfax can be costly with high volume.
• The success rate of faxes is significantly higher than any other system we have used, which reduces the need to refaxing files.
