From start to finish, our Sales then Implementation Engineer, and customer Success Rep have been A.

Overall the ARENA PLM System is very user friendly and a very powerful tool.

My experience with Arena has been fantastic so far. They aim to please and are improving the product all the time.

With so many assignments and tasks it is hard to keep track of them.

I am very impressed with Arena, it seems to be designed by people that understand Product Life Cycle Management, Quality Systems, Regulatory compliance.

Our ECO turn around time decreased, we were able to make changes to parts and various BOMs quicker and easier.

I like that I can search whatever product I need to understand and see all documentation tied to it. I also enjoy the traceability of said documentation for doing investigations for failure analysis.

It was difficult to get ahold of customer service and the communication coming from the Arena team was unclear. They were so difficult to work with.

There is no out of office function to pause training due dates for employees with an extended out of office.

Fully Customizable eQMS with great support and pricing.

Ability to compare BOM differences. Easy to track engineering changes/revisions.

As a person who has never used Arena, it was very easy to use and navigate with little training.

The BOM and Part system are great. It is easy to do ECOs and have Arena integrate with ERP systems such as SAP.

I have used MasterControl and when I have to change training due dates in Arena, there is no option to include a comment when I have to change a user's training due date.

There are a couple of feature enhancements that I've been waiting for a while now, but I also recognize that. There are workarounds for those missing elements that are functional, just not pretty and.

Great PLM and BOM system that integrates well.

Overall the software has been very useful to our company and the customer service has been outstanding.

ARENA is a very user friendly platform and easy to navigate.

The change module, items module, and quality module, ease of use, and customer service at ARENA.

Quality module is the most like function what i used. Like the nonconforming material control connect with CAPA, and easily to update the layout.

A team that no longer is with the company made a number of decisions that ended up causing a lot of trouble (for me specifically, as the admin/quality rep) in the future.

The ease with which you find all the documents and the way of navigating.

The system was very hard to follow and the initial integration was a nightmare. We had no customer service to help push us forward with a go live date and further onsite training was denied.

I tell all customers to minimize customization of products and keep them as close as possible to out of the box. This is difficult with business that are accustom to their old processes.

Ease of use and simple to understand. Simplicity is what i liked the most in this software.

He is not only helpful but a complete pleasure to talk to.

I love the ease of analyzing  each piece of our manufacturing process.

Overall it is great and the cost is very reasonable.

I want you to know how much we appreciate you. I hope that Fishbowl commends you for your outstanding talents and customer service.

I feel confident with them that they will solve the challenge when I call.

The product is deceiving and  lacks functionality for the processes we utilized for our company. They were unable to tailor the product to our needs even though they sold us on that in the beginning.

They were genuinely interested in helping us improve our processes by designing a report that met our specific needs.

Basically, I've found that most people who complain about Fishbowl are really complaining about inventory, which is hugely complex.

We are looking to expand and utilize many other integrations for web store and asset tracking capabilities.

As stated above, I would not recommend this software especially for CPAs and their clients. It sounds fantastic but doesn't work as designed, especially for Quickbooks.

Hard to fix problems without having to talk to fishbowl. But they are usually very responsive when i have a problem.

It integrates with Salesforce via a API and is continually improving.

Fishbowl is powerful sales, inventory control, and purchasing software for QuickBooks users at a very reasonable price.

The disassemble process can be a bit intimidating if you don't know what you are doing. Fishbowl Go needs to be able to manufacture as well.

Fishbowl is a great asset to our company. It has been wonderful in helping us manage inventory for our warehouse and tracking errors.

Integrations with QuickBooks can be incredibly useful for companies already based in QuickBooks.

Their customer support rep. has been awesome for our team. He's taken control of our issues and been very responsive.

The customer service group at FB understand manufacturing and are always there to guide you along the way. Great product, great price, great customer service.

Ease of Quickbooks Online integration, ease of cost analysis.

When I get errors after voiding a shipment and editing and when I go to ship it again I get an error.

I love all of the Fishbowl Support team members.

This is definitely a must for our company as it helps keep track of inventory. I  also love the fact we can import from quickbooks.

It is very user friendly. Our on site trainer Sabrina was amazing, she is very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

As a business owner we are challenged every day and with the daily grind you feel at times lost and alone.

Very organizing and system allow you to upload pictures of the items for easy recognition. Easy to use and easy to upload items to the module.

Excellent Manufacturing and Inventory Management Software Solution.

Our team found both these ease of use and relative ease of integration to be among the most attractive components of Fishbowl.

We were all extremely impressed with the talent and expertise of the Fishbowl Reports team.

Customer support is amazing. They are very helpful in the event we run into an issue.

Fishbowl's ease of use, excellent documentation, and use of wizards were key features we fell in love with. We have been using the software for two and a half months now and have never looked back.
