Awesome customer support

We have been very pleased with our Fishbowl experience.

PROS

Our implementation Specialist was absolutely incredible. When you has this level of customer support, implementing was a breeze. I don't know that we ever had a question that he could not answer.

CONS

There are some reporting barrier on canned reports that is a bit frustrating, but I am sure there are work arounds for those.

Reasons for switching to Fishbowl

We needed a more robust system to deal with the manufacturing ascpet of our business and manger all of our component goods.

From Netsuite to Fishbowl in 30 days

Compared with operating Netsuite, the overhead is much lower, a sandbox was provided free of charge, the set up is more straightforward and the users feel more empowered to work with the system to improve the initial implementation. Its more forgiving and likely a better choice for a smaller business.

PROS

We appreciate that Fishbowl does what it says. Its not trying to be everything to everyone which keeps the implementation relatively straightforward. Fishbowl has great customer service, and their support and availability during the setup phase of implementation has been excellent!

CONS

The client/server architecture seems a little old fashioned and the integration with manufacturing QC is not very strong. Internal reporting functions aren't awesome but connectivity to Power BI enhances the experience.

Reasons for switching to Fishbowl

To simplify and streamline. Netsuite requires too much overhead and its really not that awesome. Netsuite customer service is the worst of any company that we've ever worked with.
