## About ScrewDrivers
In today’s complex enterprise, one-size-fits-all print management is a myth. ScrewDrivers® is the industry’s only Hybrid Print Architecture (HPA) solution, providing a single, cohesive platform that delivers adaptive, unified control across the hybrid enterprise. At its core, ScrewDrivers® unifies every print workflow—centralized, direct IP, and cloud—into a single, secure infrastructure. The platform consists of three strategic pillars: Fortified Print Servers: Tricerat reduces the attack surface by consolidating legacy print servers into an efficient fleet of fortified print servers. These hardened environments are designed for mission-critical, high-availability workloads requiring \&lt;30s failover and redundancy. Direct Print Zones: These allow for serverless simplicity in distributed branch offices or for remote workers, enabling direct workstation-to-printer communication without losing centralized management. A Unified Control Plane: This is the strategic layer that connects your entire environment, providing the C-Suite with a single point of truth for policy enforcement, granular audit logs, and security monitoring. ScrewDrivers® is natively compatible with Citrix, Omnissa, Microsoft Azure (AVD), and Linux, making it the de facto choice for organizations where lives, revenue, or compliance are at stake. By virtualizing print drivers through a patented universal driver, ScrewDrivers® eliminates &quot;driver hell&quot; and slashes print-related support tickets by up to 75%. Whether your organization is consolidating servers or expanding into the cloud, ScrewDrivers® provides the architectural flexibility to run any workflow, on any device, anywhere—safely and efficiently.

## ScrewDrivers Reviews
  ### 1. Screwdrivers - a must have in any production environment

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ferucio C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The ease of use is the number one factor. Managing printers and scanners is no longer a task. Once the server is installed, it's one client install per user/workstation

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Just about anybody can now "manage" enterprise printers and scanners. More of this and we're all out of a job lol. Make Screwdrivers better? I don't see how.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Remote printers are no longer an issue to manage.  Setting up all the printers remote users need is pretty much as easy as installing the Screwdrivers client.

  ### 2. ScrewDrivers V7 Update – A Total Win for Our Team!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew B. | IT Project Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2025

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

I’ve got to say, the latest update to ScrewDrivers V7 managed printing has impressed me. This upgrade has been a game-changer for us, especially when streamlining our onboarding printer assignment workflows. It’s tackled many of the headaches we dealt with in the older, unsupported product Simply Printing version. Honestly, it’s improved things in ways I didn’t even realize we needed! The new UI is super user-friendly, everything runs more efficiently, and we’ve noticed a huge drop in printer downtime and zero user missing printer issues that plagued us previously. Our daily operations are so much smoother now, and everyone on our team is raving about it. Hats off to the ScrewDrivers team for putting so much thought and creativity into Version 7!

On top of the awesome product, I can’t say enough about the incredible support we got during the switch. Onai, our salesperson, was just fantastic to work with. She’s professional and took the time to dig into how we used ScrewDrivers in our environment. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and she made my decision to invest in the upgrade a no-brainer. Onai listened to our specific challenges with the outdated Simply Print version, answered all my questions clearly, and made sure I felt good about every step of the upgrade process. She treated us like true partners, not just another sale, which meant a lot to me.

Then there’s Nikolay, who provided direct tech support – I’m honestly so grateful for his help. After the update, he made sure everything went off without a hitch. His know-how and patience stood out as he guided me through setting things up and sorted out a few small glitches with activating the new print server. What really impressed me was his dedication – even jumping in remotely to help me on his day off! Because of him, we had almost no downtime during the project and were back up and into production in no time. You could tell he genuinely cares about making sure we succeed.

All in all, the ScrewDrivers V7 update has gone way beyond what I expected the benefit of the upgrade would bring, and having Onai and Nikolay in our corner made the whole experience even better. We’re thrilled to keep using this top-notch solution on our Terminal Server and can’t wait to see what the ScrewDrivers team cooks up next. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, trust me – you won’t regret it!

Thanks

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

(1) License Renewal Process. The lack of an automatic license renewal and the amount of manual handling is less then desired.
(2) A more proactive notification system about renewals (Emails Notice) would be nice. This might be better now that we are on the latest version, time will tell.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Easy printer assignments on a Terminal Server and Workstations.

  ### 10. Get your head screwed on, use Screwdriver

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Peter M. | Fritidspolitiker , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2024

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

When you have more than a few users with different printers, you don´t have to worrie about all the different drivers. Screwdriver is just ONE driver on your RDS-host.
Install, setup and forget. Almost every printer out there will work automatically. When you find one that does not work the support will help you quickly via mail.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Still some printers wont work but that is a small problem.
The licens do not renew automatically so keep an eye on expiration date.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No need to install printer drivers for all the printers used by our customers on 15+ RDS servers. As a hosting provider for an application you can not demand all users to just use one or two printer models. We would probably need to maintain 200+ printer drivers without Screwdriver.
Screwdriver makes this business work smoth and with almost no trouble concerning printers.

  ### 11. The product works as decscribed as for what I need

It is easy to install the software and to use for all printers

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Sometimes you have to uninstall it and reinstall it to work on PC's

  ### 12. Screwdrivers makes the world go 'round

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 29, 2024

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

Screwdrivers allowing us to only show the needed printers for our end users is my favorite feature, it allows us to be laser focused on the devices we need instead of pouring through the device list.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

the auto updater doesn't seem to work all the time for getting the software updated to the latest version, but manual updates work just fine. 
There are a few things that simply dont auto update to push that info to the remote sessions but im unsure if that is a windows thing or a screwdrivers thing. i only know that i have to install stuff and then go configure it for caching in the software when i make any little change.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

we are needing to get network and local printers setup and usable for our remote sessions

  ### 13. Great app to get rid of printing issues on terminal servers

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ramin I. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2024

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

No more hassles with printing for the client-server apps on terminal servers as those apps keep looking for your old default printer.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

I don't see much dislike other than license renewal for our special needs.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The issues with old fasion apps - client server based, where those apps keep looking for the old deafult printer.

  ### 14. Great software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024

ScrewDrivers software makes it easy to print across networks on a corporate level.  Printing via remote services is a breeze!  We have over 50 users utilizing the software.  Implementation is quick and easy and  is very reliable.

License for this product must be renewed annually.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

ScrewDrivers makes printing throughout a network with multiple printers very easy.

  ### 15. Screwdrivers 100% effective with outstanding tech support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** LEONARD C. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The most useful part of screwdrivers is that it works, citrix printing is so unreliable. The tech support is great , they go above what you asked them to do

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

There are no down sides, its stable, easy to manage and works

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Citrix mapping of printers was unreliable, sometimes your citrix printers mapped other times it didn't

  ### 16. Screwdrivers and Citrix are great together.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris B. | Cloud Services Operations Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

Screwdrivers solves some especially 'nagging' issues for our customers.  We provide Citrix based cloud applications, and printing items that require specific registration (labels, checks, etc) has often been a struggle.  100% of the time, we have been able to deploy Screwdrivers into the Citrix solutions, and resolve these issues immediately and completely.  Screwdrivers really is a fantastic solution for you if you are utilizing a Citrix environment.  The best part is it also makes ANY printing easier and better.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

The only downside is that if there is an issue with the Citrix WOrkspace application, you generally should reinstall the Citrix Workspace AND Screwdrivers.  This isn't a major issue because you may need to install WOrkspace already, and Screwdrivers is not a very large install, so the additional time to install is minimal.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It *greatly* reduces support calls regarding printing from our applications across the board.  The savings from lost time in support far outweigh the per user cost of Screwdrivers in our customer environments.

  ### 17. Removes complexity and support of printing solution in Citrix RDS enviornments

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

We have been using Screwdrivers since at least 2005 as it removes the hassle of print driver issues on RD/CTX servers.  Every client driver is supported, whether local or remote and removes technical printing support issues from the environment.  More concentration can be given to more immediate needs/projects.  Support is spot on for the occasional issue, which is rare.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

There are no issues to report; documentation can take some digging, but it is rare; it even needs to be referenced.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rouge and outdate print drivers.

  ### 18. Tricerat - Small Company with a large impact!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael M. | Senior Business Applications Systems Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The company really goes out of their way to walk you through the process, gets you setup very quickly, and ensures that if an issue arises, they put the right members of the team on it to ensure you get back up and running as soon as possible!

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Currently i have had 0 issues or complaints with this company. They are 1 of my company's favorite because we get great 1 on 1 attention when we need it and they work with us until an issue is resolved. We have been clients of theirs for over 15 years.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Screwdrivers is removing our need to have to worry about printer driver installs on our Windows Terminal Servers for our clustered SIS Solution. WIthout them the constant need to update Printer drivers would take up an unreasonable amount of time each week.

  ### 19. Best RDP Printing Solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Philip C. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Nothing at all, has been solid and has done it's job perfectly.

**Reviewed by:** Roger J. | Founder and CEO/CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 28, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The product will make your print admin life so much easier and let you focus on something more important. The software removes the need for testing or mapping printer drivers as most drivers will work out of the box. The different product versions gives you a range of features that covers almost any setup you could ever need. Once you understand the components the installation is very easy, most installations take less than 1 hour to setup. You can preconfigure all settings for your users or use self service for the users to manage their own printers. The latest additions or printer profiles as well as the advanced print features for print server printers will allow use for any feature that your printer supports without loading any driver on your session host. Simply brilliant!

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Documentation and the software download page can be improved.

  ### 21. Screwdrivers has been a real life saver for years - So was simplify

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** DOUGLAS B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

As an admin, it makes my life easier- by allowing me to assign printers to a user on the fly. This is extremely helpful when you have floating employees and branches.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

I am trying to think of anything that isn't helpful about screwdrivers, and I cannot.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This makes administering the network printers easy. This allows training desktop support assistants so much less a problem, to where we don't have to use manual group policy to dynamically assign printers at onboarding employees, etc.

  ### 22. Direct active directory tie-in. Easy printer deployment.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darrell S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 02, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

We are a 3PL warehousing company printing many bills of lading and labels for products. Screwdrivers have made printer deployment and management, tied to an active directory, a breeze.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

The inability to refresh single printers in the administrator interface. All printers need to be refreshed, and with over 400 printers to manage, that takes quite a while.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Rapid deployment of printers to individual users, as well as organizational units within active directory.

  ### 23. Work from home savior!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris W. | Systens Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

I was skeptical about Screwdrivers originally, a silly (but catchy) name to say the least. Initially saw the demo at Citrix, and was more impressed than I had thought. Pre-Pandemic we were able to have peoples at home printers working on our virutal desktops with ease. This makes a sysadmins life much easier!

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

So far in our use-case I have not been dissapointed. ScrewDrivers has held its own and performed its duties as we have requested without issue. At home printer connections are a breeze.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We purchased initially to test at Work From Home printers being connected. When the pandemic struck, we were in a very good place to easily allow at home users to connect their own printers and still operate as usual.

  ### 24. Great virtual printer software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Practice | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2023

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

We used this software to connect an application for a medical client we had. It worked well since we didnt have to manage the drivers manually.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Sometimes the software was clunky or when updated would break things.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Connecting well with client software didnt require manual intervention.

  ### 25. ScrewDrivers software solved many of our printing issues using remote desktops

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dan D. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The easy install and configuration. The client setup is easy, and just a few clicks, and the software is ready to use. The overall use runs in the background, and the end user does not have to do anything different when printing it is simple and just click and print.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

I do not have any dislikes as the software meets all the needs of our printing envirmoment and has no issues after installations. The software just works and works great.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The issue of printing in a remote desktop environment using older server 2008  software. The printing is not an issue after using screwdrivers. The software takes care of having reliability of printing issues.

  ### 26. Excellent Answer for a Tedious Recurring Problem

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cody R. | Network & Hardware Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The solution is lightweight, simple, and easily solves a recurring issue

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

No real downsides to the product from my experience.  Quality solution.  Licensing may be an issue for some, but it worked well for our company's needs

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Screwdrivers provides a soft solution to the recurring support question of "Why did my document fail to print?"  The scenario frequently occurred where users would have difficulty selecting the appropriate print server to print their documents from our Terminal Server in production.  With some minimal user retraining this scenario no longer occurs with Screwdrivers in place.

  ### 27. Screwdrivers does for RDP printing what Microsoft failed to

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris S. | Senior Network Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

Deployment was not overly complicated, and it fills a required need in a terminal services environment.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Not much - it works.   It works with all the flavors of multi function devices we used.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Printing through RDP is best effort without installing multiple versions of drivers and mapping to users.  Screwdrivers addressed all of that.

  ### 28. Screwdrivers 6

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Troy B. | IT Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

Printing will always be the worst thing ever, but when 1500 users are remote and not part of a single Windows domain, this product is a must-have. It simply saves hours and hours of troubleshooting and no local print drivers are required on the servers.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Overall, I don't have anything I dislike. It runs well and is so much better than the alternative that I'm not going to complain.

Remote printing in a Windows RDP (RemoteApp) environment.

  ### 31. ScrewDrivers significantly improves printer performance over RDP connections

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Demetrius W. | System Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2022

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

The print speed improvement when using printers over RDP is the most significant benefit of using ScrewDrivers.

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

As an MSP, the one downside we've found is there is currently no reseller program for our number of users.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We’ve been using  ScrewDrivers since 2020 and all I can say is the product and the support has been solid so far.

The support team response within reasonable time when a ticket has been initiated. Overall experience is excellent and will definitely be recommending this product.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aniket C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020

**What do you like best about ScrewDrivers?**

Good interface, easy to use. Facility to view deploy smoothly across the organisation

**What do you dislike about ScrewDrivers?**

Hard to find online. As the name suggests it will yield results of the HW tool Screwdriver. Maybe optimize search to find the tool to download.

**Recommendations to others considering ScrewDrivers:**

My advise is As mentioned hard to find online as the name is common specially in NZ :).  Cloud printer drivers is the future as more and more VMs spring up and hot desking is  the way to go.  Virtual environment is hard to setup and then having on premise printer server does not make sense. 
Less cabling. The only challenge is in hybrid environments. Best if you have VM in the environment. It is something if you want to replace a struggling printing setup or if you have many printers across your LAN and WAN. They have a large DB for compatibility of printers. Challenge will be the legacy printers and local printing which may not be supported. As this is a cloud printer Driver approach, internet connection is the key. This is a USA product so support in NZ is a bit challenging. Nevertheless a good product and future thinking. Good for those who work from home and have some thing to print to work and head their way to work to grab and work on. Hot desk user are also benefited as they do not have to install the drivers on their PCs to print - a real Plug and Play.

**What problems is ScrewDrivers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This has made our lives so easy. Life has been very easy as we can now push printer drivers via a on-premise server.
