My company has been using Bartender software for at least the last 10 years. They have been everything that we could ask for and more. Seagull Scientific has always been very helpful to work with. We recently switched to a different accounting software, and they were able to help us create some templates that interact with our new software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. All of my previous dislikes, have been addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that it interfaces well with tour Windows based print server., and that it's easy to configure. I also like the Commander software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems that it can only single thread and though rare, we get a backlog now and then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can link the label to a query or a spreadsheet for multiple lines printed or I can type out single labels that I need to print. Minimal setup and maximum results Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The developer screen isn’t exactly what you see is what you get Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you need to manage a label database, Bartender has been a lifesaver. You can manage enormous swaths of info across a multitude of label templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the setup is a bit convoluted. I've often found that completely starting over with new templates is faster and easier than editing an existing one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of creating labels. I also like the ability to print to file and modify the ZPL code if necessary. Bartender is a leader in the industry, so knowing how to use it is transferable to other companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest thing that I dislike is that it is so expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI aspects of the software make it very easy to design simple labels. If you understand the edits in Microsoft Word, you will understand the edits in BarTender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It stops working often, upgrades are a nightmare, and getting tech support to help is rare.

The software has a mind of its own and labels that work one day will stop working a few days later.

If a field is blank, it causes the software to produce unexpected results.

The cost of having someone come and help us get set up made it not feasible. The documentation is very limited. Various features of the software are useless because you have no way of knowing what benefits they have or how to get them to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is just incredible with the amount of data warehousing it can support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn’t anything I dislike about it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can save a "template" and then overwrite it to use for something else. I also like that it can pull data from Excel, so I don't have to type everything in. The stickers (while expensive) last really well on tubes in -80*C. We can print thousands or just 1-2 labels, which means less waste of the label sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that it's not super user-friendly. I find myself explaining how to use it to co-workers (especially older ones) at least twice, if not more. Also - I'm not sure if it's a printer issue or a software issue, but sometimes when the preview says that the label is within the sticker restrictions, it ends up being off-center or enough off of the label that it has to be re-printed.

Easy printing of the labels. It interfaces with other software using data connections or communicates with data-base and can run a query before printing a label. It does some checks and gathers more data for the label before the label is printed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs some learning curve to use the Bartender Librarian feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
