The main advantages are cost control, secure printing, reduction of paper waste, reports and statistics, compatibility with multiple printers, printing from mobile devices, and integration with directories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? In organizations with many printers, the advantages often outweigh these limitations, as PaperCut can help significantly reduce printing costs, improve document security, and simplify management. On the other hand, in a very small office, with one or two printers, the cost and complexity of managing it might not justify its implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? The problems it helped us solve were: excessive printing costs, paper waste, exposed confidential documents, lack of control over who prints, management of multiple printers, and uneven distribution of printing load. The benefits were: Reduce operational costs by controlling the use of paper, ink, and equipment, Improve document security through secure printing, Increase productivity by facilitating the management of printers and users, Promote sustainability by reducing paper waste and other resources, Provide useful information through reports to optimize print management and better plan resources.

Software Specialist Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/15/2023 "12 Years of Loving PaperCut!!" 5/5 What do you like best about PaperCut? One new thing I like about PaperCut is how it keeps improving scanning workflows, especially with Scan Reporting and Scan Archiving in PaperCut MF 24.1. I also like the new Print Deploy client view because deploying queues to individual computers makes support and rollout work more flexible. Another good change is support for Windows Protected Print, which helps modernize print environments and gives admins a smoother path for compatible devices. On top of that, PaperCut’s newer licensing approach in MF 24 makes subscription management and entitlements easier to handle across environments. If I were answering in a more personal writer-style way, I’d say this: PaperCut feels like it is moving from just print control to a broader workplace management platform, and that’s what I like most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? PaperCut is strong, but it could still improve by making advanced settings easier to configure, polishing scan navigation, and reducing version-related printer issues. And personally, we want in our company to be able to scan to SharePoint on-premises, not just in the cloud. It would also benefit from even smoother mobile printing and simpler policy management for busy IT teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? 1- No problems. The benefits are it's very convenient. Easy to easy. Prints in mins after you log in. 2- Accurate tracking and analytics of print costs and overall printing metrics, while ensuring that sensitive information is printed securely per user. Additionally, our employees now have the ability to print to any copier within the building on the fly securely using their own secure print box. 3- Being able to monitor who is printing and charge accordingly so it saves money through getting more than 30 types of reports.

Very excited to see WPP mentioned. Microsoft's deadline is fast approaching (2027 at this stage I believe) and it's vitally important that workplaces have a plan for their printer fleet (especially the older models) for this driverless new world we're about to enter. More here: https://www.papercut.com/discover/the-complete-guide-to-windows-protected-print-wpp/ I did some burrowing to explore your sadness around the inability to scan to SharePoint on-premises. It looks like using a middleware solution is a good bet for you - something Umango, which is sold by one of our Authorized Solution Centers, ecoprintQ. I'll pop the link below for you to explore.

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 4/2/2024 "Papercut a great printer management solution for Mac and Windows" 4/5 What do you like best about PaperCut? The local Papercut MSP we use to lease our printers and license Papercut through is difficult to work with. This is not necessarily Papercut's fault, but because we have to go through them as a licenser we have to go through them for support and it is a longer than preferable process to get Papercut's direct support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? There have been multiple instances of Papercut updates that break printing on MacOS. Usually this is easily solved with an update to the Papercut software on the server running it, but it would be nice if the automatic updates to the Papercut clients on the end user machines wouldn't break printing on slightly behind server software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? Papercut is bridging the gap between Macbook and Windows computers in our environment. Instead of having to provision the same printer twice in each environment we provision it once in Papercut and scope it to the appropriate staff groups. Papercut's "Follow Me" printing has also helped solve the issue of staff that move around our large school district. They can print to the "follow me" option and retrieve that job anywhere in the district they may be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It helps organizations reduce printing costs, track usage efficiently, and improve security. I also appreciate its user-friendly interface, reliable performance, and the flexibility to work well in both small businesses and large enterprise environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? One thing I dislike about “PaperCut” is that some advanced settings and configurations can feel a bit complex for new users. The interface is generally user-friendly, but certain administrative tasks may require additional training or technical knowledge. In some cases, troubleshooting printer connectivity or driver issues can also take more time than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? “PaperCut” helps solve problems related to uncontrolled printing, high paper and toner costs, and lack of visibility into printer usage. It allows us to track and manage printing activity more efficiently, reduce waste, and improve document security with features like secure print release. This benefits us by lowering operational costs, saving time for administrators, and creating a more organized and environmentally friendly printing environment. The solution is competitive with similar solutions and offers extensive integration with other software. This solution is well worth the money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sr Network/Systems Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/28/2024 "Really cut down on printing costs" 5/5 What do you like best about PaperCut? The way we use papercut, it's more of a set and forget. We use it for cost tracking. We look at the reports, at that's about it for right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? It won't disable users that are disabled in AD when it syncs. We eventually hit the license limit, and it's a pain, but it's not a huge deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? We haed an issue wiht prints costs.

JL Jason L. System Administrator Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/29/2026 "Easy to Manage and Integrate, but Support and Copier Compatibility Fall Short" 2.5/5 What do you like best about PaperCut? Ease of management, ease of integration, ease of accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? Support , or lack of direct support. Not all copiers supported despite claims. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PaperCut solving and how is that benefiting you? We are large private school, with a student body in the thousands and faculty in the hundreds. We have been using PaperCut for over ten years to manage our fleet of over 200 printers and over 20 copiers. We get the latest Xerox copiers and Brother printers from our VAR. This is our 3rd complete fleet refresh when support fell off the rails completely to make us doubt whether they know what they are selling. While it streamlines management with full integration with our hybrid environment seamlessly, we face struggles with support, or rather lack of. We are forced to deal with our VAR's divided support (they support all the printers / copiers they sell for all their customers) for 1st and 2nd level, and after them is main national reseller of PaperCut's support department when it needs to escalate to 3rd level, when some problems are clearly for developer to solve and only them. They have all quietly admitted to me they have not seen the latest Xerox copiers in person - specifically the PrimeLink C92xx - so how can they possibly assume to help me? It appears PaperCut is developed in Australia and does not appear to have a U.S.-based support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it worked, it was a relatively smooth interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PaperCut? The Papercut print option on my fairly new (\<4 month old) windows laptop stopped appearing. After about 3 hours of uninstalling and reinstalling and running logs, I figured out that the software kept reporting that the WTS was Disconnected when it should not have been and the trigger was me locking my machine. I sent detailed logs to the support team and they replied that I should try factory resetting my laptop. V unhelpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
