    PaperCut is our first central printing management software. So we haven't compared it to anything else.

    Xerox Docu print is great but the cost and scalability is simply out matched by PaperCut. Licensing alone is significantly cheaper with PaperCut and we find more flexible with our needs in the education sector. PaperCut can have a less corporate feel if needed which is great …

    PaperCut is easily a better program or product to use in a workplace environment that often faces too much paper wastage as we are able to keep track of how many print jobs have been dedicated to levels of paper usage and keep track of the jobs that have already been processed …

    We did review products like uniFLOW, PrintManager, UniPrint before implementing PaperCut. We had heard good reviews from our friends and other sources. Some employees had also used it before and were familiar with the implementation process. It was easy to sync the software …

    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 …

    PaperCut Software
    For environments that have multiple different departments or programs that would like to have printing costs tracked. The exact costs per page printed can be changed within the software - so exact costs can be calculated and billed back appropriately. It also makes printer management easier as you can see toner levels and any issues the printer may have remotely without having to utilize the printers GUI at all. Scan to folder/email options can be done on the admin side, so that it makes things easier for users

    Pros
    PaperCut Software
    • Centralized printing via virtual hold / release queues.
    • Confidential and secure printing via card authentication.
    • Scan to folder/email integration with Active Directory.
    • Printer specific scripting actions give you a ton of options. The canned scripts are super helpful as they are prebuilt and need very little modification.
    • Overall printing reports are very informative.
    • Mobility Print gives you a great solution for printing from Chromebook devices.

    PaperCut Software
    PaperCut is simply a solid product. PaperCut has been the ignition our company needed to take control of our budgets and also our carbon footprint. Through software we can manage our printing network with greater efficiency, reduce costs and enable our end users to take responsibility for their printing habits in a controlled way. The software is easy to deploy and integrates well with our windows based systems. We can easily delegate more advanced controls to power users and the controls are compatible with all major MFD hardware vendors.

    PaperCut Software
    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.
