Fishbowl vs Sage X3: Which is a better fit?

Love the visual aids in identifying status of orders. Integration with Quickbooks is excellent and seamless.

The main complaint that I have about this product is, the not so much the lack of MRP but the inability for Fishbowl to schedule materials plannings automatically.

Fishbowl has great customer service, and their support and availability during the setup phase of implementation has been excellent.

Can't pull accurate report on inventory valuation summary, excel export is garbage and hard to sort, can't sort valuation summary by date, and all reporting feature are just bad.

Although it is an easy system to work with, I would highly recommend to invest a bit more on the Implementation package, which we did and are very happy we did.

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

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.

The user interface is difficult to navigate and make sense of.

The structure of the software is good and allows for good navigation. It has some standard features that are good.

As an administrator I always have problems when it comes to support and debugging problems presented in the application in which many of them are not documented properly.

I am happy with the product. I administer this product as well as another ERP and this one is substantially better in nearly every way.

Then refund process was excruciating, didnt refund money and had to follow up several times. Then you have to sign up with Pay for ACH which is worse.

The presentation and easy to create reports with very simple and guided quearys also The user interface is foolproof which is a great solution for the support and information department.

Sometimes can have JSON or Java Bridge errors. Sometimes one minor error can cause the whole system to freeze up.

Overall, our experience has been positive. I would recommend that companies ensure to include it in their RFP process.

Misleading advertising, said works with Mac doesn't really(yeah if I install it in parallel and buy a new subscription for all my other software in Microsoft parallel).
