OpenText RightFax vs. PaperCut

[OpenText] RightFax is a great way to eliminate the need of physical fax machines and the need for analog lines to manage these faxes. When the Internet is down [OpenText] RightFax workflow becomes useless so a secondary network is required if you decide to eliminate physical fax machines completely. It the long run it saves time and money of paper/maintenance on physical machines.

PaperCut has replaced our pharos system which was a huge project. PaperCut manages all of our printers extremely well and does have lots of options for setting them up the way you want to.

OpenText Fax Support is wonderful! They really go the extra mile to support their customers. So far, they've been able to address simple and complex issues. A big plus is the fact that they are very pleasant on the phone. They do not get upset at the customer and have great follow up on any tickets opened.

The user community for PaperCut is smaller than other products we use in HR, IT, marketing and project management. We had an account manager assigned to us. Whenever we had any issues we would email him. The account manager was acting as an interface with the developers and other teams. The response times were reasonable.

I think Concord has better administrative dashboards and the cloud based system makes it easy to access from anywhere without requiring VPN connection. The Shared queue management in Concord is more complex and are not as easy to use as it is with [OpenText] RightFax. Concord cost more to operate.

Print Audit is a similar set-up that boasts about server-based architecture and how they are using a reputable and current business model (you can google the articles to see the propaganda), but ultimately it falls short when compared to PaperCut. PaperCut is just easier to use once everything has been installed. You don't even think about it anymore and it becomes part of your entire computer, which is exactly what I want when printing. This is something that is a no-brainer and doesn't get in my way. Print Audit got in my way and wasn't worth the hassle.
