Label LIVE Reviews

Summary: Great value compared to the more expensive competition. Has a lot of features that can grow with more complex organizations.

Positive: Very capable of producing the labels we need. Less expensive than Zebra and Bartender software. Live Label has a lot of features that these products do not have. Batch processing, inserting variables are great features. FANTASTIC customer service. Prompt responses from Caylan to my questions

Negative: Took some time to get the spreadsheet import working correctly. Suggest a download of a sample spread sheet and label. This is what Zebra offers

Summary: For my purpose it is exactly what was needed. I needed to take information that varied and create uniform labels.

Positive: Was able to produce a simple label using information from a .csv file It functions flawlessly. Functionally it was the solution I needed to complete the project that was put on my desk.

Negative: Took a little bit to understand the proper formatting path from export download file to desktop file. But outside of that everything really was easy to use. There are many fonts to choose from, Lots of trial and error to find the one that worked.

Summary: If you've ever attempted to use a data source like a spreadsheet, or CSV with a common brand of label printer and given up because the manufacturers engineers and developers clearly do not want you to actually use the flipping thing, this is the solution. Same goes for industrial automation integration. No extra module crap. easy integration.
A single label, or 10000 from a data source, still easy.

Positive: The label printing industry has failed you! Label live will not. This works with every label printer under the sun. Industrial, commercial, consumer, all of them. I can't be more clear about this: Label Live is genuinely intuitive and easy to use. Really!

Negative: Didn't like that it took my entire adult life to discover this product to replace the garbage that haunted the industry thus far.

Summary: I highly recommend Label Live. I was very impressed with the overall ability of the software. I thought it was more of a home use program when I first demo'd it, but quickly realized Label Live can stand up against any other Industrial/High End label printing software out there. Label Live has the ability to print serial numbers, 3D barcodes, connect to my spreadsheets, and everything else I need it to do, in a clean well laid out interface.

Positive: The biggest thing that stands out is the ability of Label Live to work seamlessly on my PC or Mac. The next thing that stands out is ease of use. The interface is very intuitive. I have years of experience using WASP, Bartender and Zebra. I was leery to learn yet another label program, but it was a pleasant surprise. Label Live was very easy to pick up. Within a couple of hours, I was able to be just as fluent with Label Live as I was with the software packages I had used for years. The website was helpful in learning the things that weren't quite as intuitive. It is easy to search for topics and to read through the tutorials and examples. I needed to do this to figure out how to use variables and to use markup to format text - bold, italics, etc. Technical Support is top notch. I am pretty sure I talked to an actual programmer at one point while trying to uncover a hidden feature.

Negative: There were certain features from other pieces of software I had grown committed to. That was part of the reason I used multiple different software packages in the past. Bartender does certain things that WASP cannot and vice versa. Label Live is similar in that regard - no one piece of software does everything. However, when I asked technical support about a feature I was looking for, they pointed out that it already existed.

Summary: It's overall been wonderful. Caylan is local to our business, and has been extremely intentional with making sure LabelLIVE was the right choice, and that it worked to our needs. The software is intuitive and well designed, and even a half-wit like me can make beautiful labels and impress upon their boss that they're actually a graphical design wizard.

Positive: The functionality, service, and product is spot on for a vast array of uses. We keep on finding more uses for the software to replace old, outdated systems and help automate parts of our company.

Negative: I currently have no issues with the software- every hiccup we've had in employing LabelLIVE into our systems has been met with outstanding service and new features to help us in our goals.

Summary: All pros no cons. This is just the best overall solution I have come across. Where were you 10 years ago when I started my business?

Positive: The user interface is incredible. I can it work exactly how my workflow is set up. Mostly I do price labels. But recently I've been using the removable labels to help me keep track of my customer jobs.

Negative: I haven't come across a problem yet. And I nearly always have a complaint.

Summary: Its been exactly what we needed for the small growing business that we have! Would definitely recommend!

Positive: Its easy and fast to use. I use this constantly on a daily basis and it offers me exactly what we need!

Negative: The only thing I dislike is that when you print any label, more than 1, you can not cancel the print mid printing! I have to print 100+ labels a day, and sometimes I accidentally print the labels twice when printing in a row and I am not able to cancel or stop the printing. Then I wasted 200 labels!

Summary: Once you design a template, it's easy to work with and get the job done.
It's worked great for generating labels to control inventory in my business.
This software plus a barcode scanner from amazon helped do inventory checks much easier.

Positive: Automatic QR Code generation.
Generate templates for different uses.
Import info from excel sheets using custom fields.

Negative: Designing a label requires some skill.
Could be more user friendly with designing.

Summary: Program works as advertised, easy to use and the cost is cheaper than other programs that I investigated.

Positive: Its interface is simple and easy to use. Layout is very basic. The price is less than many programs.

Negative: I would like some to be able to access my fonts or at least more. The print function is a little confusing.

Summary: Overall it is so much better in the long run! I like the fact I can print out a bunch of labels in a manner of minutes and only needed to add the info to my excel and save it. finally getting better at saving under one file and manipulating the excel to my benefit.

Positive: Ease of use, easy to design labels. able to import my info. And save it.
One time cost.
Saves me time vs printing on address labels, using Word or Adobe.

Negative: It doesn't recognize my machine. I have an arkscan. It doesn't default to the label ( the only label) I use so have to constantly resize... and it's a pain especially after I have already designed and then it finally resizes which means I need to resize all my design.

Wish barcodes could be further reduced or manipulated in size
more font choices made obvious.

Summary: Overall, we able to start using the label software in a day after figuring out most of the important function and testing the design label layout. It would be nice to have API call to link to database or file.

Positive: The Label LIVE software is simple and easy to start using all the functions. The design layout very simple to understand and follow. Support is good and responsive.

Negative: Design label feature little difficult especially using the mouse to drag and drop no such function. Certain command still need key board arrow to move box and or object.
Import data from the design label was little confused for the first time designed the label.
We need written and or video instruction available online for those features.

Summary: Pretty good, just wish there were more options and that the fee wouldn't be so high for business owners.

Positive: Easy to use, like the layout. I like being able to change the size of the label easily and the QR code is easy to apply.

Negative: I don't like having to pay a monthly fee I think the fee should be cheaper or free for businesses.
