I attempted to use the Windows [10] version but it wasn't formatted properly and I couldn't fully view the icons on the toolbar or modify the toolbar settings. On the handful of docs I tried, the import was clean and good quality, but the organization options were clunky. For those not aware, the program will relocate your files and store them in numbered folders, making it difficult to find them if the program doesn't work properly (which was my case). Luckily, they give you a 30-day trial period! I tried working with support to see if I'd even be able to USE the program and after pointing out a couple of areas where settings could be changed, this was their response: "you are not a regular customer and we cannot help you further." So, I won't be using or recommending Mariner's Paperless.

I really enjoy how it helps you manage your electronic files. The Window's version seems outdated. Using keyboard shortcuts for copy, paste, select all, etc doesn't always work.
Paperless for Mac seems to do the job well enough. I had no problem installing or getting it to work with my Brother DS-740D scanner.
The documentation is extensive, though not always clear or complete.
I had to do a fair amount of 'head scratching' before I got things to work as expected. There are also cases where the docs simply don't match to software. For example, the docs state:
"To search all the items in the library, select Library from the source list in the left pane."
The thing to click to see all items in the library is called "Everything" on the Mac addition. This and others are things that can be figured out, but some head scratching may be involved.
Working out how to filter, generate, save and print reports was a significant challenge, but in the end I was able to get what I wanted.
My biggest problem was with what appeared be missing features. Item detail fields and the + - buttons to add/remove/edit them simply did not appear as the docs indicated. After a reboot, everything appeared as expected.
