"Inventory blocked on free to use version"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.4.0.3
Pros
Clean interface, easy to use if you're at all familiar with other basic accounting/business managing programs.
Cons
Inventory is blocked in the free version. As inventory is a fairly large thing in businesses, this program becomes more of a daybook/invoice maker.

"Great Invoicing Software, But Useless As A Free Version"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.4.0.3
Pros
For free, it's great. Best free one I've tried.
Cons
In the free version, the fonts are so light on the invoices, quotes ect. that unless you are snail mailing these to customers, the program is useless. Making PDFs doesn't help and also, you can't even e-mail invoice with the free version. Hmm, wonder why. You can select darker type, but only in a paid version, and at $299.00, FORGET IT!!
Summary
No such thing as a free lunch. Time to invest a little money and buy an Invoicing Program from a reputable maker.

"Excellent Piece of Software"
Version: inFlow Inventory Free Edition 2.4.0.3
Pros
*Friendly Interface
*Abundant Features
*CustomizableCons
*No serialized items
Summary
When it became apparent that our business needed inventory software to move forward, I researched various products. Among those I tested, most were, frankly, scary. I dreaded attempting to train staff to use the software correctly. Inflow, on the other hand, has a sleek, modern interface which is a pleasure to use. The look and feel helps make the user confident and eases the transition period.
The paid version supports multi-computer setups, which was a key feature for us. The administrative settings interface also has an abundance of features and controls, which an experienced admin can worry about them without scaring the average user. One of these features is a user rights panel, where an admin can assign specific abilities to each user. Another great advanced feature is the ability to create custom invoices, reciepts, etc.
Since I originally purchased Inflow, we have bought several additional licenses. We have also enjoyed periodic updates at no additional charge.
When you buy Inflow, you are also buying the community and customer support that they provide at no additional cost. Feature requests are taken seriously, and any questions are usually quickly answered at their forum or in the online knowledge base. I have not had a similar experience with any other program, where I was able to speak directly to company representatives and programmers and be treated as an equal.
Bottom line, Inflow is the most friendly and usuable inventory program out there. It is a professional piece of software that will last a small business until the day they can no longer be called "small." -
"YOU HAVE TO GET THIS!!! AAAAA++++"

Summary
I started using the free edition of inflow a little less then a year ago and enjoyed the program so much that we upgraded. This is by far the best program out there for small businesses or that are on a budget. It has helped my company out so much, between invoices to showing reports of different kinds in less than a minute. If your like me you want something reliable and easy to use and worth the money, then you need this program, try it out for free, but within a few months you will want to upgrade.

Pros
Clean interface design

Summary
Being a start-up company cost is a huge factor, so finding a free inventory software was a pleasant surprise and one less thing to worry about. Another advantage with inFlow is how easy it was to set-up and use. There are so many things to learn that when you find a tool to help simplify "yet another business task" you can't help but smile. Having two online businesses inventory can get a little hectic, thanks inFlow for having our backs!
