Print Manager Plus vs YSoft SAFEQ Platform

Print Manager Plus audits, tracks, restricts, and secures printing infrastructure. Version 9.0 comes in Basic, Standard, and Premium editions, licensed per printer audited. Its audit records can include pages, color, copies, paper size, duplex status, document title, date and time, printer, and location. Administrators can set quotas and budgets, restrict printing, and create rules for users and printers. Security controls can hold, pause, or delete jobs from unrecognized users, require confirmation, and verify users before release. Authentication can use Workgroup, Active Directory, LDAP, or custom Print Manager Plus users. Premium adds client and project billing, a payment portal, printing cloud, and informational and configuration APIs. The portal integrates with PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Payflow Pro, and the Authorize.Net payment API. A 30-day evaluation is available for all three editions. The Small Business Edition is $495, paid once, billed per Windows Server, with maintenance, updates, and phone support for one year; it is limited to 35 users and five printers per print server. Listed platforms include Windows Server and Workstation, web portal, iOS, Android, Chromebook, Surface, and Slate tablets.

YSoft SAFEQ Platform manages office printing and document capture for organizations. SAFEQ 6 provides centralized visibility across printer fleets, reporting, billing, quotas, rule-based print policies, and print roaming. Its scan workflows include one-click delivery to email or cloud repositories, and secure pull printing requires user authentication. The platform can run in public or private cloud, on premises, or in a combination of those environments. Its building-block architecture is designed to expand with additional devices, features, and users at one site, or to extend access to remote offices.

Mobile printing is available through YSoft Wireless Print for Android and iOS, as well as email or web upload. Listed connections include DocuWare, Epic, Google Drive, Microsoft Azure AD, iManage, M-Files, SAP, and OnBase; PayPal and DIBS payment gateways are standard. Supported environments include Windows, Mac, UNIX, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, and LPR-compatible systems. Pricing is available on request. For a single-server deployment, the recommended requirements include 8 GB free RAM, 100 GB disk space, a dual-core 2 GHz processor or higher, and a 1 Gbit/s network.
