WestFax Reviews

Summary: Cost effective, secure fax that works. Many API functions to make sending fax convenient from a dev perspective.

Positive: Simple, straight forward API interfaces that are easy to integrate.

Negative: Some support issues to begin with, but they have just stood up a new and better support portal. Very helpful.

Summary: Migrating to WestFax, a better service provider, was easy. We were able to carry on with business as usual throughout the transition process. The team assisted us with customizing the fax solution to work for us, the way we wanted it to work. The setup was flawless.

Positive: My number porting experience was truly superior compared to the previous company that was servicing us.

Negative: My prior carrier made it difficult to release my number, but WestFax assisted me throughout the process. Bringing my fax number over was important to ensure that we stayed available for our customers.

Summary: Easy to use and it works. No more physical fax machine or dedicated line, no more paper printed only to be shredded.

Positive: Easy to setup. Easy to use. Fast and secure. Everything is hosted. It can be accessed from anywhere and permissions can be delegated. While they do have integration options, everything can be managed through their website.

Negative: If there is a negative side to this product, I've not experienced it so far.

Summary: WestFax did a great job helping us with a pretty complex migration away from RightFax. Their pricing was less than half and there were no crazy terms and maintenance contracts. All thumbs up from a very large fax user. These guys know their stuff!

Positive: Super easy to integrate. They have live staff in the US to help users integrate. The service is also HIPAA Compliant which is awesome.

Negative: We didn't have any problems at all. I'll update if we experience any.

Summary: We signed up for a free trial where they gave us a temporary fax number. We tested the service with a few doctors that could never get a fax to come through to us with our previous fax provider. The WestFax service worked for a 72 page medical record and was insanely clear.

Positive: Ease of use. Easy to port our number. Nice people to work with. Clear faxes with no fuzzy images. HIPAA Compliant.

Negative: Nothing we didn't like about the service. Works great.

Summary: The service works perfectly. I had our providers download the Android app on their phones so we could send patient records to their smartphones and they love the interface. We had another service that was not HIPAA compliant so it's a relief to know our records are now safe on the WestFax network.

Positive: We use tablets in our medical practice for patient intake and medical charting. The WestFax Android App works seamlessly with the desktop interface to send and receive patient records via fax. It's so easy to use.

Negative: I had a Windows problem on my desktop I had to resolve before the desktop portal would work on our old IE browser. Our fault, not theirs.

Summary: It's so nice to find a company that you appreciate doing business with. From the web portal to the personal service they offer we couldn't be happier with our experience. Because we're a medical office we needed HIPAA Compliance. The WestFax team knew exactly how to handle this and sent us a BAA to sign.

Positive: The WestFax user portal works great to send and receive medical records and we can even use the Android App if our doctors are not in the office. You can actually call them and speak to a US based human to help with questions. Kristen did a great job walking us through the set-up process. We started with a free trial account, then ported our fax number to WestFax. The porting process was smooth without any glitches.

Negative: I really can't think of anything. The WestFax team was really great to work with.

Summary: Like Barry and am looking forward to working with WestFax for our HIPAA compliant faxing. He made the process so easy to set up and get going. We now have a functioning Fax number in less than 10 minutes. He also has some helpful videos to support you on his website. Looking forward to working with him and his company!

Positive: All we had to do is give Barry a call at WestFax and he walked us through the process of setting up our account. We were all set in less than 10 minutes! Pretty awesome! Looking forward to working with WestFax and simplifying our processes here at the office. Barry was extremely helpful!

Negative: So far, I have no complaints about WestFax or Barry the owner. It took only 10 minutes for him to help us set up our account and we are looking forward to having a good working relationship in the future.

Summary: I had to write a tool to automatically download faxes as they show up. It was easy to setup an app that checks the api every 5 minutes and downloads the the fax file to a local folder. I had some trouble with Base64 format but I figured that out on my end. Works like a charm.

Positive: Great documentation and code samples. I needed code for Python and C# and was able to get some code from the autodocs and an SDK.

Negative: More code samples and snippets. The stuff on the site was good but I am lazy and want to code less ;)

Summary: Working in medical and legal consulting areas, security and PCI/HIPAA compliance are extremely important to me and my clients. Very happy with WestFax service.

Positive: Easy to implement API, excellent documentation and customer support. Dependable service and PCI/HIPAA compliance is very important for my clients.

Negative: Nothing I can find, and that’s saying something...

Summary: I like using the Fax to Email the most. Super easy to send a fax. I have never lost a fax or had a fax fail to go through. Consistency is king for me. The Faxtools are pretty awesome too. Love the autoprint functionality!

Positive: I switched from efax a few years ago and never looked back. I love that I can call up and get a real person and not put in a queue to get the most basic of support. I also love how fast my faxes send and I get all my faxes in my inbox which makes it very easy to manage. Love FaxTools too!

Negative: I don't have any complaints honestly. I'll update this if I think of any.

Summary: Overall, it works very well and is extraordinarily easy to set up and use. They seem to understand the healthcare space & HIPAA extremely well and were able to check all of the boxes for privacy & security.

Positive: Very simple, reliable, easy to use. Very affordable. For situations where security/privacy are critical, WestFax has strong measures in place (e.g. fully HIPAA compliant). Also has an API for integrating it to apps.

Negative: Can't really think of anything that I don't like.

Summary: I am very pleased with everything, from the price point to the customer service and the flexibility.

Positive: Charlotte is very professional and communicative. It's nice to talk to an actual person. Great price point.

Negative: So far, I have not found anything I dislike about WestFax.

Summary: Fax provides more security and compliance than email, it’s our preferred document delivery method. This is a cloud based solution that we can rely on.

Positive: WestFax ensures that business-critical documents and faxes are sent/received instantaneously with encryption and guaranteed delivery. I am able to transmit digital, high-resolution, color documents fast and securely using fax servers as well as today’s popular messaging platforms and applications.

Negative: I would like to see more integrations with EMR and SSO SAML

Summary: Easy to setup the API for our outbound fax process. We spent a few weeks with another solution which ultimately was not HIPAA compliant and failed half the time.

Positive: -Great documentation
-Easy to send fax
-Great support.
-Dependable
We got the solution up and running in 2 days straight. Way faster than other ones.

Negative: -Wish I found them sooner. Spent too much time with competitor.
