> **Pros**: Working in a communal workspace, this software makes perfect sense to keep all printing needs in one place and cost effective for all parties. As a user, I find it simple and timely to get all printing completed.
>

> 
> Overall, I enjoy the use of this product and would recommend to other managers that need a software to manage printing needs for this type of workspace (shared)\!

> **Joseph** | *15 May 2024* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
>

### "My experience with PaperCut" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *13 April 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is cost effective from the company's point of view. It allows to track and limit print jobs, which is great from the administration's point of view.
> 
> **Cons**: While patrons are in control of their expenditures, one has to be vigilant when they are choosing the printer's settings and features. At my school this is set on "color"  as the default option, however, most students who are on a budget would like to print in "black and white' which costs less. If you want to print from a laptop then the document needs to be uploaded (I am not a big fan of this feature). There is a long lag time between hitting print and the actual printing. The worst thing is that if a print job is ordered but the printer is out of order, PaperCut will still process and charge the patron's account accordingly.
> 
> Modest. Needs improvement.

### "Good quality print management software" — 4.0/5

> **Andy** | *16 July 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Papercut provided me with automated reports about my print usage. They show you a lot of analytics and the user interface is well designed.
> 
> **Cons**: It seemed to slow down the time it took to print documents slighly.

-----

### "Excellent Print management product" — 5.0/5

> **Duncan** | *25 May 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple to use from a users perspective with assigning jobs to different departments (if your in more than one) and easy management of setting budgets for users in the admin section
> 
> **Cons**: So of the UI isn't straight forward and not how you would expect to access certain functions immediately, but if you poke around you can normal work it out.
> 
> It works well and integrates well with Microsoft Windows, the everyday management is easy just some of the  lesser everyday tasks are harder to do but with the right reseller for happy its a great product with regular security updates/fixes
