Using Fax Technology in SaaS Environment

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sending a fax to clients directly for our internal app using API calls. Mitigating the need of using a real fax machine, which we definitely don't want to use in a tech company. The time to print and send is very long as well as documenting the action, which is needed and done automatically with eFax.

Pros

  • Fax via API
  • Fax to email
  • eMail to Fax

Cons

  • The admin dashboard is outdated.

Likelihood to Recommend

The eFax solution is stable and reliable, which is the first priority for any company that communicates with its customers. It's easy to use and also priced very reasonably.

eFax has no match!

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I need to send and receive faxes, a few times per month, and my office has a VOIP telephone system, so there is no way to have a physical fax machine. As such, eFax allows me and my employees to turn our phones, scanners, and computers into virtual fax machines and allows us to send and receive faxes with ease.

Pros

  • A free App is available and very easy to use.
  • It gives your business a toll free fax number, which you can add to your business card.
  • Faxes are stored forever!

Cons

  • Price can be cheaper, but you pay for good quality service.
  • The faxes take a couple of minutes to send, which is longer than fax machines.
  • The App is glitchy sometimes.

Likelihood to Recommend

eFax is well suited for business that are on the go, want to save money, and/or employ technology in their every day activities. efax has made the Fax Machines absolute and would only be less appropriate in places that are technologically illiterate.

Easy accessible features

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To send or receive confidential information, we use eFax. Our customers don't always want to communicate information via email. We may also need to fax paperwork to our bank or investors. We haven't utilized it as often in recent years because many organizations now use secure websites to submit documents.

Pros

  • Simple UI design.
  • Easy to understand the workflow.
  • Not needed to think before sending fax documents.

Cons

  • More administrative functions should be added.
  • Billing statement should be made online.

Likelihood to Recommend

When it comes to remote work, eFax is ideal because it has that capability. When you need to transmit and receive secure faxes, eFax comes in handy. Overall, it's far superior to a physical fax machine, and eFax is ideally equipped to serve that role if one is required.

Secure Remote Rax

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

eFax is readily usable throughout the organization to assist document control remotely. This software was able to support the needs of faxing securely and safely remotely during the Covid situation. It is very easy and cost-effective.

Pros

  • Fax remotely
  • Fax with ease and multiple documents
  • Cost Effective

Cons

  • Be more cost effective
  • Sometimes it goes down and not sure why
  • Can be easier to pay online

Likelihood to Recommend

eFax is well suited for small companies who have remote employees, had issues with faxing large files at times.

Gets the job done...

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use eFax to transmit our client's confidential information to partners and vendors. The faxes are secured with an encrypted connection to make sure the sensitive documents stay private.

Pros

  • Meet regulatory compliance standards, such as HIPAA
  • Securing and encrypting our data in transit and storage
  • Send files that are too large for email
  • Cloud system, no faxing software or hardware needed

Cons

  • Multi-user admin interface can be more user friendly for direct staff
  • Faster transmit time, especially exceeding over 20 pages
  • Live customer support needs improvement

Likelihood to Recommend

For the daily faxing needs, eFax gets the job done. We get notified when the fax has been received or sent successfully, but it takes so long at times. I'm not sure if it's eFax's encryption system that is delaying the Rx/Tx time, but it needs to be improved immediately.

eFax

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use eFax to send and receive secure documents. Sometimes our customers do not want to share info through email. In addition, we may need to fax documents to our bank/investors. We have not used as much in the last few years, as many places now use secure portals for uploading documents.

Pros

  • Send faxes.
  • Receive faxes.

Cons

  • The format for seeing sent and received faxes could be improved. It would be nice to be able to organize them.
  • I would like to be able to keep documents private within a shared company account if needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

eFax works well when needed. It seems to be a somewhat outdated technology but can be required for security reasons. I would think more and more companies will move toward other ways of sending documents but the gov't seems to be the last to change with the times.

A good temporary resolution if you don't have a fax machine.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

After the pandemic, our company started to work remotely, most of us don't have a fax machine at home, this app helps us deal with some situations where the fax is mandatory, such as sending some files to govt department. This app works, and it's definitely easy to use, the UI on the phone (IOS system) is pretty much like email.

Pros

  • The simple interface. It looks like the email inbox, which is easy to understand.
  • Paperless.
  • We don't need to fax every day, this app can be a temporary resolution when we need it.

Cons

  • I need to start from scratch while switching from app to app.
  • Cancellation is harder than regular apps.
  • Slow delivery.

Likelihood to Recommend

As I mentioned, our company is currently working remotely, we sometimes need to fax some files to govt department or other company, having this email-like app is easier for us to send files. And the subscription can be cancelled anytime, which is good. But I want to say the cancellation is a bit tricky, takes more time than other apps. But overall, it does the job.

[In my opinion] Efax is Scam!

Rating: 1 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

[From my experience] I opened an account with eFax for one-time use. I tried to cancel within the trial period however their cancellation procedure is a little bit tricky. Technically you are not canceling your subscription unless you complete all steps. After that, they are charging you everything. I was robbed £ 25 for a couple of faxes. Now I canceled. Hope they are not going to charge anymore.

Pros

  • NA

Cons

  • Easy cancellation policy

Likelihood to Recommend

Their cancellation procedure is tricky

eFax: Old Reliable

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

eFax is being used as an auxiliary towards typical faxing. Currently, our company uses both old-fashioned fax machines, and eFax. It's used across the whole organization, but it's starting to be used more and more recently, especially with the current situation and the demand for remote faxing.

eFax addresses the problem of needing to send and receive faxes remotely, and as a health care provider, it also is HIPAA compliant and provides secure faxes.

Pros

  • Flexibility. You can log in anywhere to receive and send faxes.
  • Simplicity. The interface to send faxes is very easy to use and understand.
  • Reliability. I've never had an issue with eFax not sending or receiving properly.

Cons

  • The user interface could use some work, as it's a little dated looking, and it's not so simple to receive faxes, at times.
  • Administrator functions. If the user's account is locked for any reason, the administrator cannot unlock their account. It causes a lot of inconveniences.
  • Unable to see the bill. For whatever reason, eFax does not allow viewing the bill from the online portal.

Likelihood to Recommend

eFax is well suited when needing to remote work, as it does provide that function. eFax is also useful when you need to send and receive secure faxes. Overall, it's much better than a physical fax machine, and any time a fax machine is required, eFax is well suited to fill that job, instead.
