Fishbowl Reviews & Product Details

The total cost of the product and its overall ease of use are important factors for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main concern is the lack of options to correct or fix data once an error is discovered. While I realize that certain financial information must remain unchanged after periods are closed, even a simple mistake can create significant problems for future reporting if there is no way to address it.

Fishbowl works reasonably well as an inventory tool for simple, repeatable workflows. It connects to QuickBooks and can support basic order processing and inventory tracking, especially for businesses with steady, predictable demand and e-commerce style ordering.

Fishbowl is not a good fit for food manufacturing. It struggles with the complexity of changing production schedules, frequent changeovers, and seasonal volume swings. The system is rigid and better suited to stable, repeatable orders than to dynamic food production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Has most of the basic tools that a company would need out of an ERP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limitation of advanced features, high licensing user costs, limited API connectivity and industry support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to integrate with our sales systems. We moved from our own website design that was causing issues and when we found Shopify, we desperately needed an inventory system that worked and flowed with that and really allowed our warehouse to focus on the growth happening and manage orders 10x easier than before. Overall our warehouse team has not had any issues with getting any help or errors resolved with their tech support. Good service all around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup and integration was hard for us specifically since we were coming from our own outdated systems to the 21st century and we learned really quick what we were missing out on before with this new system. After some time, we got everything working together seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really felt like the training staff at Fishbowl are super engaged and passionate about the work they are doing. I had the pleasure to work with Garrett Dean, and he was amazing,completely engaged and had great ideas for how to leverage the software to work for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are various modules that make the software expensive, it is important to do your reach to understand what you will need and how this will roll out for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was old, outdated and couldn't track live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couldn't scan, no bar code options. Couldn't print labels Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fishbowl is very rigid and strict about what it does. It forces you to be accurate on inventory numbers, production, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That rigidness can be great but it makes it so the integrations aren't dynamic forcing you to have to do a lot of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support team very helpful and knowledgeable on their product. Some features available in FB not available in QB hence we tried to make the switch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rigidity. Implementation team knows their product but is not knowledgeable about interface and impact on apps they impact, in our case QuickBooks. It is one thing to tell your customers integration with QuickBooks works very well, it is another to help customer embark on Fishbowl and NOT offer any support as soon as issue is on QB (but stems from the integration with FB). Implementation team quick to send you to support team while they should be knowledgeable about everything including the apps they claim their product integrate well with. Obviously, no support whatsoever when you want to disconnect FB and revert to old system because integration did not work and wreak havoc in your system and operations.

Fishbowl's customer support is unmatched - every single person I have interacted with has been amazing and so helpful. The implementation process while lengthy has gone smoothly due to such amazing customer service. As we learn how to use Fishbowl, I find its systems very straightforward and intuitive even with the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup process was very time consuming and sometimes confusing, but we have had such amazing support throughout the entire process. There are some features for our existing ERP that are not quite the same in Fishbowl, but it seems that the custom reports team will be able to help with one of those important aspects.

I like the price of Fishbowl and how well the push pull API works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software could be compiled better such as: adding more ways to filter date without pulling reports. Add the picking module to the calendar. add bill splits to the SO module. create a filter to sort SO priority in sales module. create a filter to sort by salesperson in the picking module. create a start and stop pick date and present on the calendar. capability to manually split pick tickets in the picking module. It would be better for our industry if we had a software that was set up for job shops meaning more form and function than an inventory software but not as complex and expensive as the manufacturing module.
