Sales Industrial Automation ### "Very good experience due to what I was expecting." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 July 14, 2017 Pros I thought the features we're very useful especially for what I was using it for. There were many times that I said wow! Cons There were a few times that I felt the software was skimpy. The ease of use was good but at times there could have been more.

Manager Retail ### "12+ years and no problems" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.5 4.5 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 5, 2016 Pros When I opened my store over 12 years ago, Artisan was the ONLY product that could keep track of my consignment inventory, calculate and print out my artists' statements, and function as a standard POS system. Twelve years later, still using the original software and hardware, I had my first glitch last month. Tech support responded immediately and talked me through the problem in just 15 minutes. I've been doing some research now that there are other programs that claim to do the same, but I am still sure that when it's time to upgrade I will turn to Artisan again. The in house support department can't be matched. I once thought it was pricey, but amortized over 12 years, it's a been great value! Cons There are more features than I use! I honestly can't think of anything else I don't like. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Customer service is always available. I never had an issue when I needed a question answered or help with the P.O.S. Cons I dislike the interface. It seems a little bit outdated. I also dislike that when there are certain products I decide NOT to carry anymore, there's no way of filtering it when I browse through my inventory to reorder items. The inventory shows all products ones that are discontinued and ones that aren't. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Owner Retail ### "Artisan POS is great - we have used it for 5+ years and love it." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.5 4.5 Features 4.5 4.5 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 4, 2015 Pros It keeps track of inventory and prints out sales as well as items remaining in the shop each month when the consignment checks go out. Cons We have a small cafe in the gallery and have added a patch to create sales receipts for it. When we have a group of folks in the cafe and they want to split the bill between two credit cards the only way we have to accommodate that is to print the bill twice and write in one of the names on the ball as they get printed with the first credit card holder's name on both bills. Sometimes very confusing for the patron. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Owner Retail ### "Certek is an Amazing Company" 4.5 Overall Rating 4.5 4.5 Ease of Use 4.5 4.5 Features 4.5 4.5 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 20, 2015 Pros This POS system makes me appear to have my act together. Any business operating with out a program of this caliber is being irresponsible. Not only is the software impressive, but on the rare occasion when I need to talk with technical support, they are kind, and efficient. Supplies are only a quick phone call away. Being able to provide reports and hard data have made me a better retailer. Cons I wish quick picks were small icons on the sale screen instead of a screen behind. We keep taped to our screen a list of 'flash tags' of best sellers and untagged items, that functions well for us. It replaces the quick pick screen for us.

BD Blake D. Owner Retail ### "Review by Ideal Wedding & Events" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.5 3.5 Features 3.5 3.5 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 October 17, 2015 Pros The support is unparalleled! When we need assistance with a problem, the support staff is quick to react with a positive and profesional attitude and keep us serving our customers. Cons Sometimes product development or a requested special report seem to take a lot of time to produce. If there is anything I would like to see improve at Certek it would be a timely response and follow up to these special requests. Will 4.0 be available any time soon?
