Fishbowl is going downhill in my opinion. > > **Cons**: The moderation is getting wildly ineffective. It makes it difficult to use and the costs have become too high. > > I used to use the free version religiously but it's gone downhill quickly. The moderation is getting wildly out of hand. There has been a boom in posts that don’t violate any guidelines being flagged and removed. Then when you reach out to Fishbowl support inquiring about details on how your post “violated guidelines”, Fishbowl responds saying that it was a mistake. ----- ### "Smooth Transition and Powerful Inventory Management Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Mary** | *1 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Its flexibility and the wide range of inventory management features it offers. The system can be adapted to fit our specific business processes rather than forcing us to change the way we work. > > **Cons**: The initial learning curve was challenging due to the system's extensive features, but the Fishbowl team has been very helpful and has made the transition much easier. > > We are currently transitioning from QuickBooks to Fishbowl, and so far we are very excited about the additional features and capabilities the system offers. Fishbowl provides much greater flexibility and customization, allowing us to adapt the software to our company's specific operational needs. The inventory management tools are robust, and the platform offers a level of control and visibility that goes beyond what we previously had. The transition process has been smooth, and we are looking forward to taking full advantage of the system's versatility as we continue to grow. Based on our experience so far, Fishbowl appears to be a powerful solution for businesses looking to improve inventory management and streamline their operations. ----- ### "Works great for Small Manufacturer" — 5.0/5 > **Miriam** | *6 November 2019* | Shipbuilding | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of Quickbooks Online integration, ease of cost analysis > > **Cons**: Reports are not as easy to manipulate as some programs > > I love the ease of analyzing each piece of our manufacturing process. ----- ### "Fishbowl Advanced for Manufacturing, Sales, and Inventory." — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *14 April 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have a self-hosted version, its very high quality, low maintenance to run the server. The software has a huge set of features for manufacturing and inventory control. Sales orders and purchase orders are also all under the same roof. Sales orders support invoicing and reporting. Manufacturing has BOM's, Work Orders, Manufacture Orders, and has options for custom MO's as well as reverse MO's. Software has a great layout, its not old and dated, but neither is it a flashy smooth interface that changes with every new update. Styling is consistent. Customer support is easy to reach, they recently on-boarded a number of new employees, so no issues. Accounting export is automatically synced from Fishbowl to Quickbooks. It supports desktop and cloud versions of quickbooks. Seamless integration. > > **Cons**: New features are slow in coming. They could use an upgraded custom reporting tool, current stock report set is great, but ability to customize is somewhat lacking. > > Overall I have a good impression from Fishbowl, pricing is affordable for small teams, but its got the feature set for big customers. I would use it for again if I needed to make the choice. ----- ### "Excellent inventory partner that aligns with Intuit Enterprise Suite" — 5.0/5 > **Diana** | *29 May 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fishbowl has been a great inventory management tool for us. The reporting we can get out of the system is very insightful. We are also very happy at how seamlessly it integrates into Intuit Enterprise Suite. The implementation team and customer support team have been very helpful as well. We also like that their team can build custom reports at a nominal fee. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to see a customer sales order history from their profile without running a separate report. ----- Page: 1 / 46\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/1700/fishbowl-inventory-scm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/1700/fishbowl-inventory-scm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
