For more robust protection, Fax.Plus implements industry-standard security measures, such as 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
OpenText also utilizes 256-bit AES encryption and Transport Layer Security (TLS) for its online fax transmissions. Its OpenText XM Fax also offers audit tracking and reporting for enhanced security.
Both Fax.Plus and OpenText have trustworthy and robust security measures that are enough to adhere to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards, ensuring the safety and privacy of faxes containing confidential and sensitive health information.
Both services also offer signed Business Associate Agreements (BAA), which qualify them to handle protected health information (PHI) on a covered entity’s behalf.
Fax.Plus is a multi-platform online fax service with dedicated Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Web apps. That makes it easier to fax on any device regardless of platform, offering more flexibility and convenience.
Similarly, OpenText has Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux systems applications. Users can also use the service with Java, Blackberry, and Symbian, and they also have email-to-fax, which lets their users turn any email client (i.e., Outlook, Gmail) into a virtual fax machine.
Fax.Plus allows the signing of faxes without using a third-party digital signature app, but there’s a catch. You will need to use either iOS or Android application on your mobile device, as this specific feature isn’t available on the web app.
As a Fax.Plus alternative, OpenText offers an eSignature tool through OpenText Core Signature. However, this is considered a separate service, meaning you must pay for it in addition to the digital fax solutions you have already subscribed to.
Fax.Plus offers fax broadcasting to its users, allowing them to send multiple faxes simultaneously to various recipients seamlessly and effortlessly. It makes the sending of bulk faxes to targeted audiences more efficient.
As for OpenText, unfortunately, it currently does not offer fax broadcasting to its users and only allows them to send faxes to one recipient at a time.
Fax.Plus offers a programmable fax API that developers can use to integrate online fax functionalities. As an OpenText alternative, Fax.Plus’s API works on various programming languages, such as Javascript, Node.JS, Ruby, Java, and Python. Users can use OAuth 2.0 flow or personal access tokens (PATs) for the initial authentication flow.
Alternatively, OpenText offers a RESTful API, which is also free to access for 90 days. Users can use their API to integrate faxing functionalities into their applications, such as EHR and EMR systems. However, after 90 days, users must pay a Developer subscription for continued access.
