## Reviews

### "Good Old-fashioned Inventory Management Application" — 4.0/5

> **Ethan** | *7 August 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It’s a great user-friendly inventory management tool for Windows OS. Despite its UI looking old-fashion, it does the job just fine.
> 
> **Cons**: Personally, the old-fashioned UI. To elaborate, the UI looks like early 2000s Windows applications, which makes it look old.
> 
> Like I mentioned before, it does the job just fine, so I give it a 4-star review. However, I had a really bad user experience, due to wrong data mapping by the jointed task force.

### "Strong Inventory Control with Room for Improvement in Usability" — 5.0/5

> **Jaisson** | *26 March 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Fishbowl is how well it bridges the gap between inventory management and day-to-day warehouse operations. It provides strong visibility into stock levels, order status, and movement of goods, which helps keep everything organized and reduces errors. The ability to track inventory in real time and integrate with accounting systems is especially valuable. I also appreciate how customizable it is for different workflows, allowing it to adapt to our specific operational needs. Overall, it has helped streamline processes, improve accuracy, and make it easier for the team to stay aligned and efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least about Fishbowl is that the system can feel a bit outdated and not as intuitive as newer inventory platforms. There is a learning curve for new users, especially on the warehouse side, and certain workflows require more steps than expected. Reporting can also be somewhat limited or difficult to customize without additional effort. At times, syncing and performance can lag, particularly when handling large data sets or multiple users. Overall, while it is a powerful system, improving usability, speed, and reporting flexibility would make it significantly better.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Fishbowl has been positive. It’s a robust inventory management system that has helped bring structure and visibility to our warehouse operations. We’ve been able to better track inventory, manage orders, and maintain more accurate stock levels, which has improved efficiency across the team. While there is a learning curve and some areas that could be more user-friendly, once the system is set up and processes are in place, it performs reliably. With continued improvements to usability and reporting, it has the potential to be an even stronger solution.

### "It's alright" — 3.0/5

> **Alicia Jones** | *3 September 2025* | Semiconductors | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: At first, there was not much I liked about Fishbowl. After many training hours and hiring a consultant to help with training, we are finally getting the hang of it. It is a very cost effective program compared to others out there.
> 
> **Cons**: It is overly complicated and not intuitive at all. I have worked with a number of inventory systems, a good one is hard to find that covers it all and well. If you do not have it set up properly in the beginning, it is a nightmare to figure out.
> 
> In the beginning, I did not like it at all. However, as I learn how to work around its quirks, it is not so bad. It takes a lot of time, as mentioned it is not intuitive.

### "Fishbowl review" — 5.0/5

> **Megyn** | *16 January 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fishbowl has been a strong addition to our workflow. The easy integration with our existing systems has saved us time and reduced errors, and their customer support team consistently goes above and beyond to help. It’s been a reliable, user‑friendly solution for our inventory needs.
> 
> **Cons**: While Fishbowl offers strong functionality overall, the area we like least is the occasional complexity in navigating certain features and workflows. Some tasks feel less intuitive than expected, which can slow things down when we’re trying to move quickly. Their customer support helps bridge the gap, but there’s definitely room for the interface and usability to become more streamlined.
> 
> Our overall experience with Fishbowl has been solid, though not without a few challenges. The system delivers strong functionality and integrates well with our existing processes, but some areas of the interface can feel less intuitive than we’d like. Certain workflows take extra steps or require more navigation than expected, which can slow things down during busy periods. Even so, their customer support team is consistently responsive and helpful, which makes a meaningful difference in day‑to‑day use. Overall, Fishbowl gets the job done, but there’s room for the platform to become more streamlined and user‑friendly.

### "Always a great choice" — 5.0/5

> **Jason** | *30 March 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User friendly, great team that can always help you through any questions or problems you have along the way.
> 
> **Cons**: Not being able to modify reports without buying addons.  Would be nice to be able to customize reports more.
> 
> I have integrated Fishbowl with 3 company's now over 10 years and always keep coming back to fishbowl.
