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.

Great Print Management Tool

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

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

  • Server infrastructure has been reduced.
  • Self-service maintenance has increased.

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

IT Efficiency Gains

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for printer management across multiple physical locations. Vasion Print allows us much greater efficiency and ease of use compared to other software, and is a lot easier for the IT staff to support. Before Vasion Print our company used a multitude of different software's that were incohesive and a nightmare to maintain, centralizing around this software unlocks extra time for IT to spend on more critical tasks.

Pros

  • Multi location management
  • Ease of use for IT
  • Document management for manufacturing floor

Cons

  • Tier 2+ Support
  • End user tutorials

Return on Investment

  • Support tickets decreased by 30+%
  • Fired printing consultants, able to keep all printing knowledge in house

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
