    I am the administrator and I find that this product is extremely easy to maintain and the users like the product because of its features. Barscan makes their updates very easy to implement which is unlike most products that I support. Never have I had to reinstall for users after an update.

    Pros:
    Barscan does everything our Finance Department needs it to do and that is why it has been so valuable to our organization for many, many years. Upgrades are regular and simple to implement. The support has always been top notch.
    Cons:
    The only thing I have heard is that it looks like an older product, but appearance is only skin deep.

    Cons:
    I have to admit the at times I find that the program is not user friendly. I'm not sure if a demo is available to practice on; but that would be a great feature for skills development.

    Reasons for choosing BarScan

    This program was selected prior to me being assigned to my current position.

    Really wanted to like it

    The experience was frustrating, the setup occurred pre-covid and I practically begged for someone from this company to come visit us on site so they could fully understand what I was trying to accomplish. Requests were rejected, I found ways to use the scanners, sort of, but everything seemed to require someone remoting into my computer in order to manipulate the fields. When told that all of this would have been covered had I paid for more training, I was very turned off since the training was basically useless due to the fact they didn't understand the application and had no interest in finding out, again, by way of a site visit.

    Pros:
    Several years ago this was purchased for use at another KM Terminal, the presentation by the saleswoman was good and her follow up led me to believe it could be a good tool for managing slab business.
    Cons:
    The software is not user friendly at all. It requires constant "work arounds" and manipulation to make what honestly isn't an unusual application for it to work. It comes prepopulated with asset tracking for office furniture for capturing depreciation or something like that. It was not useful to our business in the end.

    Reasons for choosing BarScan

    We already had the units in hand from the purchase years ago, the hope had been with some minor updates we could repurpose them. Unfortunately this wasn't user friendly enough to do this and after the first couple attempts they went back into the box. Hopefully when approved for more capital I can explore other options.

    Pros:
    We purchased BarScan almost 20 years ago. It has served us well and in my opinion is a complete asset management system and has saved us a lot of cost over the years. The system is designed with a platform of features that allow you to capture all the inventory information of your assets that is needed for an organization. The updates are easy to install and training and support are available at a reasonable cost.
    Cons:
    While the system is not as user friendly as I you would like, instructions on how to use it is over powering and without hands on training is a lot to absorb. Also we've had a difficult time using it with window 10. We've had no problems using it on windows 7. The problem is that it is hard to log on at times and we keep getting a file permission issue notification. It took the support team weeks to fix, and even now you have to try a couple of times to log on, but it works. BarScans believes it something to do with our environment since they don't have any other customers with the problem.

    Not so much the software but the customer service is out standing. There are a few bumps but we are always to over come them or worth with the scope of what the end result will be. For someone that wasn't given the opportunity to take the classes for BarScan. I think it is a good program for property.
    Cons:
    For me the actual workings of the program and the extent of what it can do. That is my fault because again I was not given the opportunity to take the classes. Thank good I am very familiar with property an how it supposed to work for the company
