Faxage has multiple approaches to maintaining security and data privacy. First is SSL/TLS encryption for all its standard and API-based fax transmissions. Also, there’s password protection for incoming faxes and PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption for an additional layer of security. The fax service also provides complete auditing of its system activities.
eFax, on the other hand, automatically encrypts the faxes received on a secure account. It then stores it securely on its Tier-3 secure servers while notifying the recipient via email of the fax’s availability. Other than this, the fax service employs additional protection like two-factor authentication and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to maintain the integrity of transmitted data at all times.
Faxage is a HIPAA-compliant fax provider that enables advanced security protocols for your safety with powerful encryption and HITRUST certification. Covered entities may also request a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) from Faxage.
eFax is also designed to meet HIPPA compliance standards. It offers a highly encrypted online fax solution and provides signed BAAs to ensure that both parties comply with HIPAA. Aside from AES 256-bit encryption, the fax service regularly monitors fax activities to mitigate potential security vulnerabilities.
Faxage has a built-in eSignature feature where clients can feel at ease filling out their documents.
Meanwhile, eFax also lets you sign your documents electronically. You can simply swipe your finger on your smartphone screen and save it for future use. Another option is to upload and then drag and drop a scanned signature image on your fax document.
Faxage has robust programmable API and developer support. The Faxage RESTful API lets you integrate its fax capabilities into your existing workflows. It also enables users to set roles and permissions and track faxing logs.
The eFax Developer™ API is designed for high-volume faxing and provides a secure fax solution without navigating complex software integrations. You can easily manage accounts and view detailed audit reports and delivery status with the eFax API.
Once you get a Faxage account, you’ll automatically get an assigned 10-digit fax number. You can also request fax lines, virtual fax numbers, or a second number on the same line. This means multiple faxes will be sent on as many fax lines as you have. Faxage also offers toll-free fax numbers for US and Canada users.
eFax lets you have a dedicated local fax number, making it possible to receive and access faxes from anywhere. The fax service has local fax numbers in 49 countries, making it easier for businesses to send faxes to international clients.
For Faxage, there’s no option to set your desired time or date for sending your faxes.
eFax offers the added convenience of scheduling faxes. It makes faxing more accessible for users with busy schedules or specific time requirements.
With Faxage, you can track your fax delivery status. You only need to enable email notifications to receive real-time updates about sent messages.
As for eFax, it’s easy to monitor where your faxes went or whether it failed. You can access your digital log 24/7 with a list of all incoming and outgoing faxes. After delivering the faxes, you will receive details on the fax number and name of the recipient. For failed faxes, the system will also notify you about the reason for being unable to deliver your fax.
When it comes to value for money, Faxage beats eFax to it. For a starting price of $3.49 per month, the fax service already comes with 600 fax pages as opposed to eFax Plus, with only 150 fax pages for its $14.13 monthly with an added $10 setup fee. With it meeting HIPAA requirements and providing API support, Faxage can be a great alternative to eFax or other online fax services.
eFax, on the other hand, is already known as a reputable online fax provider for businesses of all sizes. It also has features that Faxage lacks, such as the option to schedule a fax. Like Faxage, eFax also complies with industry regulations, so ensuring HIPAA compliance when faxing would never be a problem.
