Vasion Print vs. Zebra Industrial Printers

Great for users that frequently travel between offices. Users can log into their device and get the "local" printer installed based on their subnet. Alternatively, users can choose to send their print to their folder to be accessed on whichever printer they choose. It does this securely which is great for folks in healthcare settings

• Removes admin privilege requirement for adding printers, but only those you specify.
• Easily allows printers to be added by user based on their location/situation.
• Admin portal for printer management is simple yet powerful.
• Customize access to network printers for specific people (cheque printers, etc).
• Fantastic documentation/KB.
• Pre and post sales support was top notch.

• We would like to move all of our print accounting into Vasion Print, but there are some features we use in Pharos that Vasion is still building out.
• The repository can get a little unwieldy if too many people are adding drivers. An internal check to see if a driver for a particular printer is already available would be a nice feature.
• Direct authenticated release of print jobs from the printer device would be a nice feature.

Hands down one of our best investments for our IT staff. This has saved so much time and frustration and it well worth the cost. If the budget starts to gets tight, this is one of the last things we would cut out. We also purchased this through our copy machine vendor so it's nice that the charge is integrated with our copy machines lease

Interface has been very easy to use and figure out. Reports to see printer usage is helpful in finding or relocating printers that are over/under utilized and can save funds on continually supplying printers where maybe better utilizing the equipment already deployed will provide cost savings. Being able to make a change in one place and that change is replicated to all devices has been nice and easy to do.

So far, Vasion Print has been available for end users without any issues reported as far as we are aware.

A colleague has reported a performance issue with loading printer profiles on Edge. It sometimes takes a very long time to come up, and sometimes not at all, but he switches over to Chrome, and the interface comes up very quickly. This might be a fringe case, since I am able to launch the same profile on Edge browser without any problems.

Whenever I've contacted Vasion Print support the responses are always rapid and thorough. The support staff is knowledgeable and always happy to answer any questions I have. Most of the time we needed support was at the beginning of our implementation. Our account rep as well as technical support were skilled and responsive.

This doesn't apply since I haven't used another printer management tool, app, or system. Vasion Print is the only one we actually used here in our school district. I don't have the ability to select different companies or vendors, but with my experience with this software, it's been hands down the best. Especially for managing all of our copiers here in the school.

We have rolled Vasion Print out to 50+ locations, and scalability has not been an issue

• There were no calls about everyone's printers not working when the print server went down, as there is no print server!
• Making it easy for the users to be able to install their own printer.
