It can be used to invoice for anyone, so I will always recommend it.

Vasion
The best case we've found for Vasion is the one that explains why we moved to Vasion in the first place. Our Windows print servers were extremely temperamental for our Azure devices and, in many cases, would take 20 minutes or more to just set up correctly. We would then have issues with printers not printing for long periods or with print jobs not showing up in the printer queue. It was also hard for the staff to install their own printers when the one they normally used went down. It was also very hard for staff to figure out how to navigate the printer list to install printers. Vasion made all of this very easy and gave the staff one easy web page to find the printer they want and install it.

Pros
Ignition
  • Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter.
  • Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal.
  • Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place.

  • MaxxVault is a full-featured product at a cost significantly less than its competition.
  • MaxxVault is end-user maintainable. I do not have to carry an IT staff to support this critical system.
  • MaxxVault has the best customer service support of any vendor I've done business with in my 20 year career.

Cons
Ignition
  • I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier.
  • I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option.
  • I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything.

  • Learning curve is particularly steep.
  • Some advanced features can be difficult to implement and test.
  • Driver management is time consuming and could be streamlined.

I would say its around 7. For us it was easy to do deploy, to use the centralised control, and not too complex compared to other printing services. However, some workflows became complicated depending on configuration. In our case, it was a bit complicated after a while. But its still user friendly.

You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

Vasion had a much better interface for installing printers for staff. It was very easy for staff to manage their own printers and install what they want or need. Vasion also seemed to be better equipped for reporting and use by our non-technical staff. We were also impressed with the support of Vasion and how easily they answered all of our questions.

Return on Investment
Ignition
  • We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year.

  • Having seen similar organizations implement software solutions costing upwards of $1 million, I can safely say the ROI on our MaxxVault implementation has paid off massively for our customers and staff. We could not do what we're doing without MaxxVault.
