Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Fishbowl earns strong praise for customer support and ease of use, though some users note the software has occasional limitations. Support staff—particularly Travis, Madison, Kelly, and others—appear consistently across reviews as knowledgeable, responsive, and willing to spend time solving problems. Users highlight features like remote-assisted support, quick response times, and staff who go beyond standard service. For the product itself, customers value streamlined inventory and manufacturing workflows, especially when integrated with QuickBooks. One user called it vastly superior to QuickBooks Enterprise for their needs.
The main criticisms are modest: a few users mention occasional bugs, complexity requiring training, and limited customization options in some areas. One user requested better data archival for older years. These concerns rarely drop ratings below 4 stars and don't dominate feedback. Overall, the 50 reviews skew heavily positive (44 give 5 stars), with particular strength in how well the software suits manufacturing and distribution companies. Users in transition from QuickBooks or similar systems report quick, smooth implementations and steady confidence growth as they learn the platform.

“If your company does manufacturing or distribution this is the…”
If your company does manufacturing or distribution this is the software for you. Like any business management software, it is complex. Every time I go deeper in my knowledge, I am pleasantly surprised at the excellent software design and forethought. I tried to use QB and it wasn't up to the task. Even the "Enterprise" version of Quickbooks doesn't do 1/10 of what Fishbowl does. A great piece of software back by a great customer service team back by great engineering.
