Many customers developed a bad user experience with printing due to challenges such as unpredictable print spooler crashes and slow printing in their environments, resulting in a spike of support desk calls for Advance2000. Keeping their mission in mind, Advance2000 immediately began researching solutions that helped solve issues in their customer’s environments. ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)I would highly recommend this solution to companies that are experiencing challenges in VMware, RDS and Citrix environments.

While ThinPrint did work, the team found Tricerat’s solution to be more stable and performed better at the specific issues they needed to solve. After an install time of only about 30 minutes, the team reaped the benefits of ScrewDrivers immediately. While their customers found increased productivity and a great user experience due to features like customizable control panels, Advance2000 was able to save hundreds of hours in labor costs due to the decrease in support desk calls. ** ![](https://www.tricerat.com/hubfs/quote-left.png)I would highly recommend this solution to companies that are experiencing challenges in VMware, RDS and Citrix environments.
