PaperCut
Chose PaperCut
PaperCut was more user friendly for our higher ed situation and had a great sales pitch from the reseller we got it from.
Chose PaperCut
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 …
Chose PaperCut
I have not evaluated any other print management utilities that were not simply built in to the Server OS.
Chose PaperCut
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 …
Chose PaperCut
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 is well suited in an environment where paper usage is overdone. In the marketing and advertising industry, lots of paper is wasted due to visual usage like presentations of client show-casings. It is less appropriate for a workplace that only uses digital work rather than any print. Otherwise very useful.

We use a local company to support our PaperCut implementation. They have been fantastic with any request we've had over the years. For the most part the issues we have had were simple enough and were often solved by a driver or application update. PaperCut has been nothing less than reliable.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • The biggest ROI impact would be that we are saving money every year by printing less and less.
  • As part of moving towards this centralized model, we no longer purchase new printers.
  • The only negative was the initial push back from users that have been printing to local printers for years and years. This is something that will obviously go away over time.
