    Terrible Decision - Worst Customer Service - Try Anyone else!

    Not only did Fishbowl fail to provide adequate communication during the entire process, but they also refused to give me a refund. It's outrageous that they charge such exorbitant fees for subpar service. I highly recommend avoiding this company at all costs and switching to Netsuite instead.

    If anyone is considering switching to Netsuite, please reach out to me. I will do everything in my power to help others avoid the mistake I made by signing up with Fishbowl. Shame on this company for their unethical practices and shame on [sensitive content hidden] for being a liar and thief. Stay away from him at all costs if you want any chance of success with Fishbowl.

    Pros

    The only pro is that its an ERP system that can integrate with your existing QuickBooks, but its not worth it. So please go to someone else.

    Cons

    I had the unfortunate experience of working with [sensitive content hidden] as my account manager from Fishbowl. From day one, he boasted about being the best in the industry, but I can confidently say that I've never encountered a worse representation of a company.

    During our implementation process, it would take [sensitive content hidden] 48-72 hours to respond to my inquiries. This delay not only hindered our progress but also showed his lack of dedication and professionalism. He lied about his capabilities from the start, painting himself as a competent account manager when in reality, he's no better than a shady used car salesman.

    Despite expressing my concerns about the importance of timely communication for my business, [sensitive content hidden] continued to ignore me. It was clear that he had no regard for my needs and only cared about making a quick sale. As a result, I decided not to continue with Fishbowl and switched to a more professional ERP service like Netsuite.

    We've been using Fishbowl for years and while there have been some limitations, we have found a way to work around those issues.

    Pros

    Great customer service. Fast response time is appreciated. Nice being able to email sales orders and transfer orders.

    Cons

    Managing inventory in our sales channel has been a challenge due to the way Shopify reconciles returns/exchanges.

    Response from Fishbowl
