Pros from Real Users Pros There is nothing I like about Fishbowl. They are for large companies only.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Ease of use, intuitive flow in all processes, responsive and thorough customer service, robust capabilities. I appreciate how easy this system is to look up orders and order details. Having a system that can look up customer's orders based off the customers information is a great advantage. aACE is also a very organized system leaving very little chance for processing errors. aACE is easy to learn and is very organized. I almost always know where to find the things I need and being able to have multiple orders/invoices open on different windows is very useful. Ease of use, great support team and documentation! It is great to be able to access through the desktop app and through a web browser with no issues! aAce has an unique approach to the discovery process. For a small fee, they give access to a full version of aAce; both desktop and web; and include weekly meetings with experts for 6 weeks. It is great opportunity to determine if aAce delivers as promised - and it does! This is far superior to an expensive installation process only to find out that the product does not deliver as promised. In addition to superior customer service, this is the best process for testing/implementation. Perfect for small to medium companies. Cons No cons I can name. We use the system daily and any issues are addressed immediately and remedied. I cannot find anything bad to say about this product. On rare occasions, the system will lock up but that is a simple fix of restarting the program. This is a very rare occurrence. Voiding invoices can sometimes lead to a rabbit hole without any direction on what to do next and how to fix the outstanding amount. I also wish there was a better process for recurring orders. I don’t have any cons to report about aACE software. None so far. All concerns answered promptly and courteously.
