Using this program is a constant battle!

Forced me to learn coding so that I could build my own data management system.

PROS

I started out loving this program. The ability to enter the exact ingredient you use and use one recipe as an ingredient in another is great. But, unfortunately, the honeymoon phase only lasted about a month because all the glitches, unexpected crashes, and limitations became glaringly obvious.

CONS

At first it seems like this program has a ton of great features, but many of them don't actually work. The nutrition calculation for the most part is accurate, provided that the processing yield doesn't inexplicably change itself. I'd say the program crashes about 2-12 times a day depending on usage and how it's feeling. We've got about 700 recipes to keep track of and I think that's just too much for this program. The cost analysis also sounded great at the beginning, but can be inaccurate and attempting to use the overhead calculator crashes my system every time. There is a Yahoo group run by the developer that you can join which I think would be helpful for learning the basic functions of the program. Although they are quick to respond, it doesn't help with the big issues like the constant crashing and unexpected changes the recipes seem to make "themselves." Sounds great but still needs lots of work and development before I'd consider it a decent product.

Vendor Response

nutraCoster includes unlimited free support. So it's in our best interests to correct any issues as soon as we become aware of them. If you have an issue, give us a call and we'll work with you to resolve the problem.

Why we stay

We are reviewing the possibility of using nutraCoster to track many of the costs we have been using spreadsheets to capture

PROS

It's very straight forward to use and is very accurate. It has a great database and functionality.

CONS

It's not very sexy in today's software world. I wish it had some of the functions I've seen in other similar software.

Vendor Response

Tell us what features you think would make the software "sexier". We'll look into it. Email support@sweetware.com.

Fantastic Product

The absolute best part about nutraCoster is that the [SENSITIVE CONTENT], is a wizard at how this software works inside and out. I have been using this for over 13 years and he has always been available if I ever had any issues, even going as far as to restore a decade worth of data I thought was lost when I had a server crash at my facility. This is an invaluable tool and [SENSITIVE CONTENT] knows how to keep it working for my business.

PROS

I use nutraCoster to create nutrition panels for products we produce and it does a fantastic job. We also produce products for international markets and the changes to label styles and formats is key. I wouldn't be without it!

CONS

The functionality for defining units on a nutrition panel is a little cumbersome. Once you have it figured out, it works fine, but the Swerving Size Helper is a little clunky.
