The customer service response for questions is a great tool. > > **Cons**: I think provided Firebird continue to evolve to and work with suppliers and users to improve the product they will be a industry leader. ----- ### "Superb submission system" — 5.0/5 > **Nat** | *20 November 2019* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I didn't need any formal training when using this software, I just logged in and clicked around for a while to get to know my way around and found it very easy and simple to use. Anytime I did come across something that I didn't know how to do or struggled with the live support chat was so helpful it meant that the problem was resolved quickly and I was able to carry on with what I was doing. It's great being able to customize pages so easily to get them on brand and simple for the submitter or reviewer to use. The Firebird team are great at taking on board any feedback we give and implementing where they can. > > **Cons**: The Firebird team are constantly working to improve the software which is great but does sometimes mean that switches or settings are moved from where they normally are but it doesn't take long to find them. > > I managed to change the way we accept presentations for our call for paper conferences by using Firebird rather than manually collecting them. This made the whole process quicker and easier for my colleagues and saved time. ----- ### "Though dated now, Firebird was worth it at the start" — 3.0/5 > **Cam** | *20 May 2022* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to start our company's email marketing campaigns while also featuring other aspects was integral at the start of our business journey > > **Cons**: Some of the features grew dated for us as we realized few in our industry still used Firebird > > It was great at the time of inception but the dated nature made us move on to other platforms for the options Firebird gave to us ----- ### "Firebird Review" — 4.0/5 > **Kate** | *5 August 2019* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One thing that we really loved about the software was the team, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] were available whenever we needed anything and anytime we had an issue they were able to solve it and clearly show me where I was going wrong. It is a great system and is already able to do so much and by the looks of it, it is continually growing and adapting to users needs everyday. It is not rigid in its development in the way some other systems we have used have been. > > **Cons**: Although a fantastic system sometime it did seem that the steps to do things were more complicated than they needed to be. This is likely because the way it was set up then allowed you to do 50 other things as well but sometimes this meant I couldn't easily see what to do and have to reach out to the team. > > Overall it was a very positive experience and we wouldn't definitely revisit firebird in the future when we have a few more events that would need to use a system like this. ----- ### "Firebird the free and good database server" — 5.0/5 > **BALAZS** | *9 February 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Firebird is an open source sotware so you can make and program databases without paying thousands of dollars. > > **Cons**: Beacuse it's free there is not professional support, only the users forum (Firebird Foundation). The worst problem is the incomatibility between versions. > > Our office use a Firebird-based program, written in Delphi and it still works\! :) The only problem is, that the program works only one Firebrid version, so I have to store this old installer, too. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/165772/firebird?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/165772/firebird) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
