What do you like best about BarTender?

I like that it's so convenient to print labels and custom Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BarTender?

Two experiences that really threw me off the fan wagon entirely. One is that the limited printer connection and technical portion of it. And two is that it does require a bit of practice to get learn how to fit a label design onto the physical label. Maybe this only happens to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BarTender is a Valuable Tool for Encoding and Label Design"
4/5
What do you like best about BarTender?

BarTender is a comprehensive tool for designing various code types, including several bar code formats. BarTender can also generate QR codes, and the program possesses RFID-encoding capabilities. I enjoy the vast array of coding options provided by BarTender, along with the program's user-friendly formatting tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BarTender?

BarTender is not able to seamlessly transition between printers with different DPIs, which can cause confusion for less experienced users. When printing labels, the margins and print size shown on BarTender's screen may differ from the actual margins and size of the print, which can present difficulties when formatting labels meant to cover a large amount of label area.

"The software of the best labels"
4/5
What do you like best about BarTender?

This Software is a multifunctional application, it is able to offer security and efficiency when creating labels and barcodes. It has a very narrow line of learning with the product; and the integration generator is a powerful way to automate many things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BarTender?

The details I see is that it lacks a better monitoring system; to know when something goes wrong, it does not always do it but in some cases it can generate a problem in the area of ​​the business coupled with the fact that it does not offer live chat .. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bartender is great for more than just labels"
5/5
What do you like best about BarTender?

The template designer is like using powerpoint. Very easy, no coding, lots of options. You can be very simple, but there are more levels that you can get to to make very intelligent reports. It's very slick for setting up labels, and it works really well with the zebra printers. Other programs don't seem to be able to print to zebra printers very easily. We also use it for making regular paper reports too. It's way easier than SSRS reports to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BarTender?

About the only thing that I can think of is there needs to be some easier to set up monitoring. We use drop files triggers for most of our printing. (CSV files created by other programs). Because end users aren't using the front end, they won't get the error messages. I would like a better notification system for when the integration gets stopped, which happens occasionally. Then I could be more pro-active instead of a call from an end user that says, "it just doesn't work" which of course is IT's favorite complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
