Vasion has been a great enterprise level printing solution.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Vasion is our enterprise-level network printing solution. It is the main way our staff installs and uses the printers they are allowed to use. We also push printers to staff and labs as needed and use reporting functions to manage costs and track paper usage. We were using Windows print servers that were no longer meeting our needs and were very cumbersome to set up and maintain printers. This option also integrates with our Azure devices without any issues and works seamlessly regardless of the device and how it is joined to our enterprise.
Pros
- Vasion makes installing printers by staff easy and quick. They can pick the printer they want and have it installed in a minute or less.
- Vasion makes managing and setting up printers on the admin side very easy. Adding drivers is logical and very easy.
- Vasion gives us real-time reporting on printers, buildings, or staff and allows us to customize reports to our needs.
- Vasion support has always been great to work with and the follow through is great.
Cons
- The client can be a little delicate to install and get auto connecting.
- There has been a time when we had to manually install a new client on the devices to fix a bad client that was pushed out.
- Some of the features to push out printing may be more cumbersome to set up. Nothing that is terrible or really long to do, but it can take some time to set up correctly.
Return on Investment
- The time it has freed for building techs to create printers. It went from a 10-minute or more job to a minute or less per printer.
- We have heard nothing but good reports from staff! They are happy to be able to install a printer from one page in a way that makes sense. They literally just find the printer they want and click on it to install it.
- The reports features are like nothing we could get from our old print servers.
- It's all online and easy to get to and use.
