Editor's Summary · Print Management Software
Buy against the problem you actually have, because this category contains four different products wearing the same label.
If the goal is cutting print cost, you want accounting and rules: PaperCut MF, Equitrac and MyQ track usage by user or department and enforce duplex and color policy. If it is security, secure release at the device is the feature and Y Soft SafeQ and Celiveo build around it. If it is retiring Windows print servers, Vasion Print exists for that specific job, with PaperCut Hive and Printix taking the cloud-native route.
Two entries here are not office print management at all. LRS handles high-volume business output from SAP and mainframe systems, and PrintNode is a printing API for developers. Both are correctly in the category and neither competes with the rest.
Check manufacturer bias before shortlisting: uniFLOW, Xerox Workplace and Streamline NX all support mixed fleets and all work best on their own hardware.

How to choose Print Management Software
Name the primary driver before you look at products, because cost control, secure release and server elimination lead to genuinely different shortlists. Then check embedded support against your actual device list, since panel integration is where mixed-fleet claims break down. If a significant share of staff work remotely, test printing from off-network early — it is the requirement most on-premises platforms handle worst.
