We started our implementation two years ago and every time I need something, tech support is there for us; also all the videos and webcast help us to understand more the concepts and tools we need to keep our data organized. We are not archivist, we are just helping our church; but we are really pleased with all the help we got from Customer Services and Tech Support; they really helped us to get started on the right foot during our planning and implementation.

Response from Vendor

May 6, 2015

Paulo, Thank you for your comments, particularly about the difficulty in learning to use it. We struggle with the issue and always come to the conclusion that we would have to remove some of the advanced features and make it simply a fill-in-the-blanks web form. Our engineers tell us that fighter pilots have the same complaints. Why are there jets so much harder than a private plane? I am glad you stuck with it and used the free coaching from our Help Desk. You are creating a database the users will really love ¿ easy navigation up and down the hierarchy of descriptive records; consistent vocabulary for names and subjects. All the best, merv@eloquent-systems.com

I use Eloquent Archives daily, and although the learning curve was steep, once I'd learned how to use it effectively it has proven itself to be everything I wanted and needed in an archiving software. Above all, however, is how responsive the support has been. Every issue has been resolved quickly and with great care. Thank you!

PROS: The product has lots of capabilities and once configured to suit your needs can adequately service them. CONS: The links between description fields can be difficult to navigate and at times the systems seems lost in itself. Perhaps different screen designs for different actions would be useful for the user to follow the linkages and the processing of the system. At times the system seems cumbersome and not as user-friendly as possible. Simplifying the steps will help in this regard.

Stanley, It appears that a few training sessions would be helpful. We do just-in-time coaching sessions where the trainer guides you as you enter your own data. In order to accommodate the hierarchy required for ISAD(G) standards the linkages between levels is necessary. It reduces the quantity of repetitive data and the need for global changes. It also makes it easy to maintain consistent terminology. Let us know if you would like to book some free training sessions. You probably did not use up all free time that is available with the service. Merv@eloquent-systems.com

Archival management systems do have a level of complexity that comes with need for clearly organizing and describing hierarchical relationships, and the ease of the public user interface is important too. Eloquent Archives is relatively easy, and the support staff has always been there to quickly and effortlessly resolve any difficulties. The user interface works well, and Eloquent has also made modest changes in order to suit our institutional needs for options, instructions, and graphics. This system is especially great for smaller institutions with limited funding for IT resources, and I liked not having to install, troubleshoot, or configure anything.

Eloquent's Archival Database is very easy to use and very user friendly. It is great for employees, interns, and volunteers not versed in DACS (Describing Archives a Content Standard) as all the features and descriptions are built in.

Hi Dolores, We are very pleased that you recognize the "superior functionality" of the software, and that there is a learning curve related to it. You do have unlimited access to the Eloquent Help Desk at no cost, so take advantage of it when you can. Also, there may be more custom tailoring we can do for you to streamline it to your operation. Thanks for your review.
