“Beginner-friendly for FF&E, buggy with rigid billing”
Pros
It's very beginner-friendly and was the perfect solution for us when we needed to manage our own FF&E.
Cons
It's too buggy and their customer service is hard to get ahold of. The price felt a little high for what we needed and the billing department was completely inflexible. Canceling was difficult and they wouldn't offer any kind of partial refund.

“lacks a real product catalog”
Pros
I had hoped it would fully deliver on its promise of automated spec writing but that turned out to be a bit of wishful thinking.
Cons
Doesn't have a real product catalog or database, it's essentially just a spreadsheet which is very limiting.

“Powerful and flexible for years”
Pros
I've been using Fohlio for almost five years now and it's hands-down the most powerful tool I've come across. The team is constantly rolling out great new features. What I love is how simple it is... I was able to teach myself how to use it. On the rare occasion I did get stuck, their support team was always there to help right away. The customer service is just as excellent as the product itself. It's an absolute must-have for architects, interior designers and anyone in construction. It's so incredibly flexible that I'm even planning to use it with a gift curator !! You can adapt it for almost any task that involves storing data and images. If you're still juggling multiple spreadsheets to get your work done you seriously need Fohlio.
Cons
Many of the useless features have been stripped away which is awesome
