Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great user experience - refreshing to see a modern platform for this type of application - most others look like they were made in the 90s. Great customer service, super responsive.

Cons

  • Pricing is not transparent enough - also I wish they could communicate more on upcoming/new features

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like PastPerfect because you can enter artifacts and books separately. It is easy to enter information and search for items.
  • PastPerfect is a good product to digitize collections. It is fairly easy to use. We have had several interns come in to do archival work for us and they quickly pick up on what fields to fill out.

Cons

  • For donor information and making reports it is not the best.
  • The interface for the desktop version is pretty clunky. It is very Windows-99esque and backing up can be a bit confusing. Definitely take advantage of any training and support you are offered.
