Compare FaxBack vs. LuzardoFax

Linking fax machines to on-site fax servers enhances functionality significantly. By establishing a direct connection between fax machines and VoIP providers through HTTPS, users can achieve unparalleled reliability and security. This advancement marks a groundbreaking solution for integrating fax machines into VoIP systems. The innovative Fax ATA employs HTTPS to securely transmit faxes in real time over various data connections, such as internet, cellular, and satellite, while also introducing new features like automatic fax archiving and email alerts. FaxBack offers tailored fax machine solutions specifically designed to meet the demands of modern business VoIP and Internet connectivity. This setup allows organizations to connect their fax machines either to a local fax server or directly to a VoIP provider. Additionally, FaxBack’s solutions enhance fax machines with features akin to the added capabilities VoIP provides to telephones, enabling users to receive fax notifications via email and efficiently track, archive, and manage faxes through the control panel of either the fax server or service provider. Consequently, businesses can streamline their communication processes and improve overall efficiency while maintaining the reliability of their fax operations.

LuzardoFax is a cloud fax platform for organizations that transmit protected health information under HIPAA. The architecture is deliberately narrow. Documents are converted server-side and flattened to monochrome before transmission, so a colour element that would vanish on the receiving end never leaves the system. Fax content is never sent by email: notifications carry page count, size and time only — never the document, the sender or the recipient. On outbound faxes the document never leaves our servers; the carrier receives a tokenised URL valid for 30 minutes. On inbound faxes the carrier necessarily receives the transmission, and we delete its copy through their API as soon as ours is stored, logging the result. The Zapier integration exposes triggers but no send action — routing PHI through a third-party automation layer was ruled out at design time rather than shipped and disclaimed. Billing is metered on actual document pages rather than transmission duration. Failed and cancelled transmissions record zero billed pages. At 110 percent of the monthly allowance, sending and receiving pause rather than accruing overage. Each Business Associate Agreement signature is hashed and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain through OpenTimestamps. Customers can download the agreement, the .ots proof and an evidence record, and verify the execution date against the blockchain without relying on LuzardoFax existing at the time of verification. Encrypted at rest with LUKS2 (AES-256), TLS 1.3 in transit, per-account audit logs, two-factor authentication, and per-user audit logs with role management on the Business plan.
