I am very pleased by this program and even purchased a personal subscription for my own small collection of artifacts.

This software brings many museums into the modern day of technology. It enables use of apps on ipods or phones, easy updating and uploading of images, cloud storage and so much more. So many other programs have similar features, but the cost keeps jumping up every time you add a singular feature, making the cost for this software and what it provides invaluable.

I feel that the program is not user-friendly. I was able to watch tutorials however and learn how to do these items, changes and updates, however it is not intuitive on the operation.

Despite a few losses in functionality, we are extremely pleased with our migration to CatalogIt. Wish we had done it sooner!

Being a collection institution since 1949, our permanent collection is large and varied. We were using PastPerfect which was not intuitive and not laid out in a way that made sense for us. CatalogIt has solved many of our issues including viewing objects in a variety of categories, allowing us to publish our objects to the web at the click of a button, and, most importantly, the fields are customizable and linked in a clever way behind the scenes that allows for consistency between multiple users.

Integrating was easy, but there were issues. They were not major and well worth the migration from PastPerfect. There are some concerns with lack of functionality in a few areas, but I feel comfortable emailing customer service with our issues and they communicate well with regards to improvements or workarounds.

It's generally intuitive to use and I like how large and central the images are. Some other systems bury the image files a little bit in the entries. The drop down menu options for each field takes the guess-work out – this is very useful when students of varying experiences are using the database. Catalogit support team is readily available to answer questions and also have tutorials.

It would be great to have more image editing tools, like color correction, embedded into the software.

As a small town museum we absolutely are in love with CatalogIt. It is helping bring our inventory of artifacts under control to let us know exactly what we have and is provenance.

Ease of use; Amount of information allowed to be entered, Ability to create QR Codes for tracking; Use of pictures for cataloging.

Limited on how you can print labels, Not able to store music or audio files in the app itself.

This system speaks for itself and really caters itself to small-mid ranges sites. It is overall intuitive and easy to adapt to. It's good at using controlled vocabulary for descriptive terms as well as people, locations, etc. The CMS helps us with an American Alliance of Museums (AAM) Museum Assessment Program we are applying for. It's also very versatile and and be used at sites other than museums.

When we discovered CatalogIt, it was as if it was too good to be true. They strive/pride themselves on keeping the price low/affordable, offer great and quick customer service (the [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], was more than happy to give us a demo before and after we installed it), and there are very useful workflow functions, like folders and tags. A big incentive offer was a free migration from PastPerfect, which went smoothly.

There were some features I thought would be included, like mass selecting items for a folder. While unavailable now, they assured me it is in the works, which shows they are committed to improving the product. In addition, some of its features take a month or so to get used to. For example, item locations are inputted by marking the most specific location (i.e. a storage box) as opposed to individually entering the building, room, etc. However, this system saves time in the long run and ensures there are no duplicate entries.
