Loftware Cloud Reviews & Product Details

The user interface is really clean and intuitive. I didn't need much training to get started, which saved our team a lot of time. The system handles label creation smoothly, and the templates are flexible enough to adapt to our specific requirements. Integration with SAP works seamlessly without constant glitches.

The learning curve for advanced features could be steeper. When we tried to customize some of the workflow rules, the documentation wasn't as clear as I'd like. Also, the reporting features are basic - we sometimes need more detailed analytics for compliance tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Loftware has made an excellent product, that has recently acquired several new companies to incorporate cutting edge features like support for GS1 compliant Digital Link QR codes, which are needed for Sunset 2027 medical device compliance.

It manages to provide this in a user accessible cloud ecosystem with a GUI, that tackles the unique challenges of production environments, and managing them.

The control centre allows administrators, designers and engineers to generate change-controlled templates, while rolling out read/print-only permissions to production users. Locally or networked installed print drivers ensure the cloud platform connects to the print production equipment.

I think the key thing that lets you know that Loftware understands production environments is the pricing structure. Annual accounts are paid by expected maximum number of printers, the list automatically generates with use and clears every 7 days. Meanwhile, user counts are unlimited, so even if you bring on temporary staff for large contracts, the annual costs don't change unless you've added more production equipment.

The styling options for QR codes are limited. It would be great to change the shape of QR code appearance to rounded, circles, or to feature a logo in the centre. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate that Loftware Cloud is easy to use with many options. It allows me to fast and able to automatise, which is great for handling large numbers of labels with small variations. The design features are also great, making it easier to operate. I find the automation particularly beneficial, as it simplifies my workflow. Additionally, it's great for using big data sets, which is a huge plus in my line of work. The initial setup was very easy as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The text editor could be easier to access, especially for bigger text fields with variable font size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Loftware Cloud is that it has greatly improved our data integrity, reduced reprints and errors, strengthened our auditability, and given us a scalable architecture that supports multiple printers and market variants without needing to duplicate templates.

Loftware Cloud can become a bit complex to manage as the template library grows. It really benefits from clear naming conventions and solid governance so everything stays organized and easy to maintain over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use with fast implementation, versatile data integrations, and an intuitive interface that helps users efficiently create, manage, and deploy labeling solutions in a scalable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit pricey compared to other solutions. Also, the price is the same across markets with very different values, which can make adoption more difficult in weaker markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly, the Cloud aspect is obvious yet critical. Maintaining on-premise apps has become untenable. Also, on the Cloud aligns extremely well with my industry.

Easy to use, intuitive. Easy to set up and implement.

I am more on the testing side of such an application, so I do not "hammer" on it as an end-user would, but I do use it frequently for small jobs. Logging on, off, navigating - all is easy for a frequent user.

Number of features for variable data label management and printing is superb.

Its extensive APIs and integration tools are required for "professional barcode label printing," and Loftware Cloud does not disappoint here.

My interactions with customer support have been limited, mostly because I have spent almost 30 years in the industry, but when I have had questions, Loftware has answered quickly and precisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product should have better support for Printronix Auto ID label printers. As I understand, this is being developed now.

I work with Loftware on improving their interface and functionalities for RAIN RFID. We are making progress together, but there is work to be done. As RAIN RFID is my primary focus, I would like more feature, faster. But again, this is coming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

customability, ease of use but also, the possibility to go deep and to special things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

THE LICENCING!!! that is my main problem. When I checked for a labelling software, my reseller recommended LoftWare Nicelabel Cloud. The installation process is a little awkward but ok. My main problem is the very annoying random login that we must do sometimes and that we have to enter "Designer" in the box, login to google account or Microsoft, and then the software says "your are now logged in you can use..." and then nothing! We do it another time and now it works...Very annoying mainly for me because it is crucial that it works all the time because the people who use it, are not IT at all! Si they call me 5:30 in the morning or 6pm, so very awkward and frustrating, so I asked if I could transfer from Cloud to Local licensing, but still no answer yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like that it also seems to allow the same functionality as on prem. We were using automations to allow for file drop to work with our own backlog software. This eases the transition, allowing us to keep using the same workflow and give the opportunity to change to cloud workflow when we are ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing specific yet. It is like any new software/platform: It takes some time to get used to.

We were told that the version difference would not impact labels. However we found out that some labels do change filed/placheholder size slighlty. Due to our immense label amount and complex label reality it is labor intensive to check and validate each label. WE are already in contact with support to see if this behaviour is somewhat predictable. We went from Nicelabel 19.2 Build 5339 to CLoud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized Label Control – A single cloud platform to manage label templates across multiple plants or locations, so there are no more version-mismatch issues.

ERP Integration – Smooth integration with SAP, Oracle, and other ERP systems via API, which helps reduce manual errors and improves automation.

Regulatory Compliance – Very useful for industries like healthcare, pharma, and manufacturing, where barcode standards (GS1), UDI, and traceability are critical.

Reduced IT Overhead – No heavy on-prem infrastructure, plus automatic updates and better security.

Role-Based Access – Strong governance overall: business users can design labels while IT maintains control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Loftware Cloud provides strong centralized control and solid compliance features, the initial configuration and integration can feel overly complex. Getting set up and migrating templates from legacy systems often requires significant effort and a high level of technical expertise. Licensing and subscription costs may also be a concern for mid-sized organizations, particularly when scaling the number of users or printers. More intuitive UI improvements, along with more flexible pricing options, would help streamline adoption and further enhance the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Loftware Cloud's intuitive design and the reliable support that helps us whenever we run into trouble. It's thanks to close cooperation with the Loftware team that we were able to make a smooth integration between our OT automation and their Loftware Cloud services. The software is easy to navigate and handles countless printing jobs for us every day. Loftware Cloud provides us with a reliable printing solution that lets us print and label various products in our factory line. When IKEA desires a change in the label, it's easy to update our database and push through the change without any stops to the production. Additionally, Loftware Support made the initial setup very easy, helping us with any issues we faced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to mention something it would be that with the IKEA solution we use, many settings are locked away. This requires us to contact support whenever we need to adjust a part of the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
