Could be cheaper

Reviewed 9 months ago

Generally, I think the price of the software is huge. It doesn't seem reachable. When I compare any other programs I use, I cannot say it deserves it. I'm afraid it's because of the necessity. I mean if you have a barcode printer, you have to have a software too otherwise, it's too hard to use the machine.

Pros

This is a program that I can use easily. There are too many tools that I can add to my stickers.

Cons

I didn't like the table issue. Sometimes I need to add tables and using them as a cell is very hard. Besides blank cells are also a bit trouble. Because when you delete a cell it says "BLANK" and that changes the table length if it hits the wall.

A good well rounded software for our label printing needs here

Reviewed 7 years ago

much better system for designing and printing labels than we previously had! Faster and easier to train persons in....

Pros

Very easy to use, simple drag and drop and very easy to modify text boxes, etc. Love how they offer the free trial to test before buying. Also, it is compatible with just about every printer on the planet!

Cons

Kinda hard to come up with Cons for this software apart from the fact that they don't offer live chat, as well as pricing, hard to determine what the cost is - the website doesn't have prices on it, and when it comes down to it this is a fairly pricey software, then again - you get what you pay for, go figure :)

Used for printing serialization labels by integration functionality with SQL Database

Reviewed 7 years ago

Fast and easy creation of labels. Ability to track rev changes on labels.

Pros

The diverse functionality of creating and printing labels. Creating labels is fast and easy. Integrations is a great tool and are very powerful when wanting an action repeated easily. Librarian is a great feature to ensure label revs are tracked and managed properly.

Cons

The cost is based per printer. We have multiple printers for the sake of not having to travel to retrieve your label, however, for the price tag it's not worth activating a printer that only gets used once a week. The integrations is very finicky and occasionally needs to be restarted for no reason at all. The printer default settings do not save and revert back to original so I manually have to change the print speed and darkness on each label.

Great for Logistics!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall we really like using bartender- no complaints

Pros

We use this every day for printing our shipping labels for multiple different customers. It is very easy!

Cons

The cost of getting additional licenses does add up if you do not have the demand for it but want it on multiple computers.

Used for all our product and misc inhouse labeling.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

One of the major pluses is that you can design labels off line away from production. Multiple labeling share labeling formats from a server.

Cons

It is more expensive than some of the other cheapo labeling software but is worth the money if you are using constantly.
