Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Not much. Papercut is a quality product. Has a great support network. Supports all OS platforms. Has Cloud print Access. Can Scan to email, local servers and Cloud platforms. Can be used with a range of Copier and printer brands. Cons LONG WINDED LOG IN PROCEESS so many steps to go through before i can even designate a department. Not user friendly need IT support to access the server before making any changes. Ridiculous spreadsheets which require further data input . Why isn't it all on one page why don't depts who haven't printed that month show up??? Can't change paper tray settings when the card reader is installed. It worked fine before this was put in (held up for 2 months) so am £1000 down on recharges for 2 months running. Shall i go on? Absolutely hate Papercut. Don't get it. Equitrak was much better. Cant think of any. It can't remember how I like my coffee.
