Top Rated BarTender Alternatives
The GUI aspects of the software make it very easy to design simple labels. If you understand the edits in Microsoft Word, you will understand the edits in BarTender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It stops working often, upgrades are a nightmare, and getting tech support to help is rare.
The software has a mind of its own and labels that work one day will stop working a few days later.
If a field is blank, it causes the software to produce unexpected results.
The cost of having someone come and help us get set up made it not feasible. The documentation is very limited. Various features of the software are useless because you have no way of knowing what benefits they have or how to get them to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the customer support is sometimes difficult to get a hold of or they just revert me to some online troubleshooting articles to try and fix the problem on my own. I like the tech support teams that can remote connect and help a customer out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two experiences that really threw me off the fan wagon entirely. One is that the limited printer connection and technical portion of it. And two is that it does require a bit of practice to get learn how to fit a label design onto the physical label. Maybe this only happens to me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
