Brother ControlCenter is the free software that comes with your Brother scanner. So why would you be looking for an alternative? There are two main reasons people look for an alternative:
- ControlCenter no longer works on their operating system (like on macOS Catalina)
- They want more features from their scanner than ControlCenter provides.
Why VueScan is a good alternative
