The driver interfaces could be updated > > Use it extensively with ERP systems to print customized labels and also use it for printing from a PVC card printer. I don't even think i've scratched the surface of how powerful the application can be\! ----- ### "Use BarTender Daily" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 September 2025* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: BarTender designer and print station are integral at my company. We use it for label creation, barcodes, and shipping > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can be frustrating to deal with all the ins and outs of formatting correctly to get the label I want > > Bartender could be more user friendly by simplifying its interface, but it’s also a very powerful tool with lots of capabilities ----- ### "Do not recommend" — 1.0/5 > **Lisa** | *26 March 2026* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I don't like anything about Bartender. Based on my experience, it doesn’t provide any meaningful advantages over the free alternatives offered by other companies. My time with Bartender has been frustrating, and their support team has been anything but supportive. I rely on their software to print labels, yet it hasn’t worked on my computer for nearly two months, and they still haven’t identified the issue. In the meantime, I’ve been able to print labels without any problems using a free program from another company, which makes the situation even more disappointing. I recently renewed my support agreement with Bartender, but over the past two months all I’ve received is a long chain of back‑and‑forth troubleshooting emails. They simply refuse to pick up the phone and have a real conversation to help resolve the problem. > > **Cons**: They don’t provide the level of support needed for a business to confidently rely on their software. I can’t understand why they haven’t simply picked up the phone to troubleshoot the issues instead of dragging things out over email. It takes them a day or two just to respond, which is ridiculous. > > Frustrating and disappointing. Their support team is not efficient. They are in no hurry to help resolve your issues. ----- ### "We use bartender for all of our label printing needs. We use drop files to trigger." — 5.0/5 > **Brandon** | *6 July 2018* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user interface is really well defined for people that don't code. Designing label templates is as easy as power point. Setting up the fields that need to read the data is easy to set up to. There is a very short learning curve with the product. > > **Cons**: We have it set up to run waiting for drop files (with the integration builder). Because we aren't using the front end for normal use, end users can't get error messages. If would be nice if it had a better monitoring system to know when something goes wrong. It's not that often that it does, but when it does it can cause some problems for our business. > > They play really well with the zebra printers, which a lot of other software doesn't (like SSRS reports). Also the integration builder is a really powerful way to automate a lot of things. It's a life saver. And the ease of creating labels is really nice. Don't forget you can print to a regular printer too. You can make some very good paper reports that are much easier to maintain than SSRS reports. ----- ### "Bad" — 2.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *20 March 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I didn't pay for the software or the license. The software download is free, and has a 30 day free trial. > > **Cons**: Very disappointed in the new 2016 version. The new 2016 version crashes anytime I attempt to update a database connection from one of our old XML source that worked seamlessly in 10.4. (They will still work so long as you don't touch them). Bartender then restarts and attempts to recover the bad information (which will in turn crash bartender.) Was this product actually run by QA before release? I suspect there was nothing but plug and play sceanrios tested. Very little insight into customer service. Have a lot of difficulty getting answers from the tech team. This is what happens when a company cuts back on 'costs' by elimiating quality assurance and customer support. SOme of the new 'features' have absolutely destroyed Database/setup connections. After upgrading from 10.4, all tables from our XML payloads now crash bartender when you try to do ANYTHING with them (Great coding guys). As a result, the text file source has become quite useless unless you are using a csv. Field Alias for Named database connections don't store with the named connection which makes it pointless as you will need to re-alias these things every time you change datasource. This defeats the purpose of naming/reusing a datasource if you have to re-alias all fields everytime you use it. Again, I am not convinced that this was even tested before release. Perhaps I missed something about Alpha in the whitepapers... > > I get a paycheck for working with it twice a month ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/80556/bartender?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/80556/bartender) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
