XM Fax Ease of Use

I currently work for a Xerox Dealer who resells OpenText XM Fax to our customers. Our sales team discusses XM Fax with every customer. The cost savings for faxing through XM Fax over an analog fax line is significant. We currently bill over 180k fax pages per month through XM Fax. The sales and service support through OpenText has always been outstanding. I wished other software vendors were as easy to work with as OpenText and XM Fax.
  • 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.
  • Honestly, I am not sure I have anything. I worked for Xerox for nearly 20 years and have worked with the XM Fax support folks for many of those years. The support I have received has always been outstanding and a phone call away.
We just signed up a customer who faxes less than 100 pages per month. Faxing through OpenText XM Fax was going to save them $1200 per month and give them the ability to fax directly from their computers and via email. Users were printing the documents and then fax them on the fax machines.
  • XM Fax Dashboard and the ability to see fax confirmation and resubmit faxes.
  • Fax to Email.
  • Autofill electronic cover pages.
  • XM Fax has been a great revenue stream when added to the hardware sale.
The XM Fax Connector that is available for the Xerox MFP devices make faxing from XM Fax simple and convenient.

We use it to receive faxes to our desktops, making it fast and convenient for response time.
  • Goes right to my mobile
  • Can respond immediately with a forward of the attachment
  • Don't have to save to my desktop faxes.
  • The headers can be condensed or smaller
  • Being able to send a fax from it
  • Use of an app
If a security feature is needed for your PDFs, this is easy for anyone to use.
  • Speed
  • Efficiency
  • Convenient
We went right to XMediusFAX from word of mouth and didn't look further.

Used by myself and all approving authorities within the company
  • When you get a fax it previews the whole fax in email
  • As you can see the scan without needing to open the attachment it speeds up review and approvals.
  • Anybody can fax you even members outside your organization and it converts it to a PDF super easy.
  • Quick email response after the fax.
  • I cannot think of a way to make this easier to use. It is fool proof.
Anybody who is able to do electronic approvals and does not have time to open the attachment but needs to see page one only it is right there in email.
  • Overall it expedites approvals when an approving authority is mobile, effectively helping to ensure no slow down in business.
  • It works wherever you are so nobody is waiting for an approval and even people outside the company can use it.
Ease of use.

We are mainly using it to receive documents that need to be received in a hurry; otherwise, most of our file transfer is conducted via Egnyte.
  • Customer Support has always solved issues in a hurry.
  • Updates available notification is lacking.
  • Java support - when will it be able to support Java updates?
Faxing is becoming obsolete
  • It has provided a form of receiving secured documents or to send documents that are needed in a time crunch
XMedius does faxing for a quick response from an end user where Egnyte is best suited for secure file transfer.

We are a reseller of XMediusFAX. We plan, deploy and support hundreds of XMedius systems.
  • Fax Conversion
  • Monitoring of incoming and outgoing faxes
  • Working with XMedius support
  • Coversheet editor is garbage, seems like a product designed in 1998
  • Documentation
  • Their support site needs more articles. I hardly ever can find the help I need on my own. I almost always have to open a ticket with them. Sometimes their tickets won't contain notes about what they did to fix it... so if I have the problem again I have to open another ticket. I can't just simply reference their notes.
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.
  • Positive
I honestly have only ever worked with XMedius. My previous faxing experience was limited to ATAs.
