Tired of printer issues Give Vasion Print a try

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have replaced our Print Servers entirely with Vasion Print. A lot of the issues we've had in the past have completely vasnished and any tickets we used to get on printing issues have lessed by a very large precentage. Having the ability to deploy printers to devices and users has been wonderful as well.

Pros

  • Printer installs are simple and easy to manage
  • Drivers are easier to update and manage
  • Works for devices other than just Windows

Cons

  • Making mass changes on the site and not having to download a csv first and then upload would be handy, but isn't all that inconvenient.

Return on Investment

  • Helpdesk calls for printer problems was greatly reduced.
  • Time having to fix printer issues including driver problems was greatly reduced.
  • Being able to push printers based on device or user saves users time as well as IT.

Usability

Great for End Users and for IT Teams

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Vasion Print to manage all our printers across different offices and remote setups and it’s been especially useful for our billing and academic departments where fast and reliable printing matters. We also rely on it heavily for printer driver repositories and IP-based printer setups.

Pros

  • i don’t need to deal with print servers anymore, which saves time and hassle
  • employees can just set themselves up, which means fewer support tickets
  • usage tracking gave us real data to reassign printers smarter and cut waste

Cons

  • the updates are not very frequent, sometimes I have to wait longer than I’d expect for new improvements or bugfixes
  • the design of the interface is not very well arranged and many times some of the specific settings get lost in the crowd
  • Vasion Print support is slow to respond and mostly works over email, which isn’t great when you need things resolved fast

Return on Investment

  • we cut down device costs by replacing old inefficient printers based on usage data
  • there’s been a huge drop in IT time spent on printer support
  • toner and paper savings also added up thanks to smarter deployment

Great Print Management Tool

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Vasion Print as a Print Management service for locations spanning multiple states and regions. This is especially helpful in the setup, maintaining and troubleshooting printer issues. I especially love that users can add printers across the organization if they travel to another location all with an interface that is understandable for the everyday user.

Pros

  • Manage all Printers and Queues
  • Can view and add users from Azure and Active Directory
  • Easily add the application and security to machines.

Cons

  • Error indication for users when jobs don't print.
  • More timely support for issues that are escalation.
  • Mobile app to manage issues.

Return on Investment

  • Calls have relegated to articles regarding how-tos regarding the product.
  • Server infrastructure has been reduced.
  • Self-service maintenance has increased.

Usability

Helpful tool for IT Techs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

From an IT support standpoint, it does what we need it to do. Easy management with inventory, driver, user permission/access, etc. Very thankful for it. Also, it's a "one stop shop" for our users. If they need to install multiple devices at once, they can totally do that. I wished the map was more interactive for users to display both the list of printers and its location in the building.

Pros

  • Printer driver updates for multiple devices
  • Ease of adding/replacing hardware (inventory)
  • Permission level for users to access printers.

Cons

  • Improving the map feature so we can customize more of the location of devices. Users can see both the list and the map location at the same time (not having to scroll).
  • Auto setup for users to login with IDP, instead of manually have to do it. Would be great if there was a way to get users logging in with their school accounts to auto sign them in.
  • Status of printer isn't always accurate (not sure if this is internally our issue), but when checking on devices, status doesn't reflect if there is an issue or not.

Most Important Features

  • Secure login - use Entra ID/groups to manage logins and access
  • Printer management - easy tool to view and maintain all devices in one building
  • Easy of use for end users - once trained, they know what they are doing.

Return on Investment

  • Less ticket support for access (except for new users)
  • Waste control - restricts/secure print to reduce the waste of printer supplies
  • Ease of access/permissions for users to install printers.

Easy to use secure printing solution

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Vasion Print on all our copiers to secure our printing and Personally Identifiable Information. We make every employee create a pin and use that to login to the copier to print their jobs. This eliminates the chance of prints being intercepted or left unattended at copiers. It also integrates nicely with our current identity management.

Pros

  • Secure
  • Easy for end users
  • Easy for us to manage

Cons

  • An easier way to reinstall the client on a copier

Return on Investment

  • Secures our PII
  • Good admin control
  • Makes it easy to troubleshoot
  • No PII leaks
