PaperCut vs. Pharos Cloud

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

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.

PaperCut was more user friendly for our higher ed situation and had a great sales pitch from the reseller we got it from.
