Pros

In May 2020 not long after the launch of Artsystem-5, I became a user of Artsystems. My mission was to input the manually recorded ledger data and to upload the converted digital images from Ektachrome film for over 10,000 works of a well known artist. The system has provided an excellent platform to accomplish this task. The powerful interface software is straightforward and it permits a user to flexibly manage the database elements in many dimensions such as year, medium, price, and description. One of Artsystems big strengths as a company is providing its customers with an extremely knowledgable staff of software and systems engineers that can help users navigate the complex queries that the database can handle and that most users may only infrequently use. I have interacted with almost the entire Artsystems staff at one point or another over the past five years and have always had my problems, questions and issues addressed and solved quickly. From both standard and custom report generation to helping build custom queries the Artsystems experience is an enterprise level resource that can be just as useful for a single customer/user. They have built an excellent business model for success in the this field with people and systems.

Cons

Well of course it would be a bonus to have the superlative systems staff of Artsystems available for consultation 7 x 24 but I like their pricing model as it is!!

Pros

The absolute best part about Artsystems are the people who work there. The training and tech support are amazing - second to none. Most of the staff have been there for a long time, so they have great continuity and deep knowledge of (and passion for) the system. It also helps that Artsystems has been around for several decades, and the program has evolved with the technology. The staff are super responsive and willing to provide as much training and assistance as needed - and answer any question we might have. They've also been excellent about creating customizations for us, such as bespoke invoicing forms, or tailoring other system features to accommodate our workflow. In fact, I've spent so much time with Artsystems staff on the phone, I now consider them friends as well as business partners. There's a lot more to learn still as we've only been using the system for a few months, so maybe later I can update this review with a more detailed discussion of the functionality. But so far, so good.

Cons

The Artsystems integration with Artsy isn't great, and isn't complete. It's something they need to work on, and I think they will, so that should improve soon. Also, unlike Artlogic, which has a relational database that feeds into a front end website that Artlogic powers, Artsystems is just the database, and doesn't have a website option.

Alternatives considered

[Artlogic](https://www.capterra.com/p/170623/Artlogic/)

Reasons for choosing Artsystems

When I began researching which relational database service to use, I narrowed it down to two: Artsystems and Artlogic. I then asked my tech-savvy assistant to look at the demo videos and conduct additional research, and then report to me which one she thought would be best for us. After doing that, she came back and said she preferred Artsystems; it might not be as glamorous as Artlogic seemed, but the database is a real workhorse with superior features. I then found a gallery that happens to use both the Artlogic website and the Artsystems database and I cold called them to ask about their experience. They told me that they love the Artlogic website, but Artlogic support was much slower and less thorough, whereas Artsystems support is superb, so they were actually happy with their set up. (Artlogic is based in the UK, and though they have some support stateside, the main tech designers are in the UK.) Also, Artsystems provides end users with direct access to their technical staff, rather than having to go through an intermediary. I knew I couldn't deal with that, so we ended up going wtth the Artsystems database - and it was absolutely the right decision. (The fact that Artsystems only has hundreds of users, whereas Artlogic has thousands is actually an advantage because they are able to provide much more personalized service.)

Overall, Artsystems provides a system with capabilities that are ideal for recording, tracking, and reporting on all things related to artwork.

Pros

I've been using Artsystems Pro (with Cloud Sync) for a few years and have been impressed by its extensive feature set and responsive support team. It's been essential to be able to rapidly build custom reports on a certain set of artwork. Our database, which has a lot of material, including a lot of photos and some unique data columns, was then effortlessly moved from Artsystems Pro has been upgraded to Artsystem5. Artsystem5 has effectively converted all of the features and more to a robust and convenient web-based system.

Cons

Although Artsystems Pro performed admirably and was highly maintained, it did necessitate a supervised (video chat and remote machine access) update whenever the Mac OS received a major update. This issue was eliminated with the switch to Artsystem5, which is completely web-based.

Pros

I was first introduced to Artsystems over ten years ago. When I needed to create a new collection database, there was little question in my mind of who to reach out to. The cumulative experience of the team at Artsystems is unmatched. Their database provides all of the necessary tools to manage and run an art based business. Creating such a customized database tailored to the artworld is hard earned. When you use ArtSystems you are immediately aware that the team has worked very closely with gallerists and dealers to offer the tools, templates and organizational ability needed to get the job done. The introduction of A5 has been a welcome addition. All of your business data is available, at all times anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Cons

I don't use the direct email feature, I find it easier to create documents and export them, as opposed to directly sending info out of Artsystems.

Pros

We have been working with Artsystems for 23 years and in that time they have constantly pushed to upgrade their database software in ways that makes our business run more efficiently. They have refined their product and met our needs every step of the way. And their support team is diligent and responsive . The at team Artsystems collaborated with us to create a custom website that perfectly suits our needs. We have two locations so needed to basically double the site. Also we wanted a way to have prices appear with a password. They figured out how to do both of these things and lots of other small modifications that we dreamed up. They understood our needs and found creative ways to meet them. We are extremely happy!

Cons

We are very happy with the services provided by Artsystems.

Pros

We converted our art collection management system from a home grown Access Database to Artsystem5 and I have been extremely pleased with the entire solution. The conversion went smoothly, the functionality of the system is everything they promised it would be and more. On top of that, the support staff has been great to help me learn just all what the system can do. Artsystem5 allows me to be more productive every day.

Cons

Only wish the dimensions were in decimals not fractions. But this is a very minor point.

December 29, 2020

Thanks so much for your review, Jan! We're glad you like A5 and we appreciate the support. Glad we can provide Emprise Bank a good solution for their corporate collection. Please note that A5 displays cm in decimals, and while it has been standard art management practice to display inches in fractions, we have had some requests to have the option to display inches in decimals as well, and are looking to implement that feature in the future.

Pros

We have been Artsystems Gallery Pro users for many years, and the web based aspect of A5 was important to us because it made the database accessible from any location with an internet connection. I know this has made our IT manager’s life much easier, and it has been essential considering that our staff is primarily working remotely during the pandemic. The ProFile app has also improved the way we communicate with clients, and it allows us to work efficiently while in the gallery and at fairs.

Cons

Moving from one version of the database to another can be a challenge simply because of the learning curve. However, the support team does an excellent job with training sessions and they respond to questions quickly.

We joined Artsystems in 1999, first with R.B. Kitaj's studio, and now as an integral part of my work with the R.B. Kitaj Estate. The database is used daily, as we track inventory, gather information for rights and reproduction requests, or review historical notes on the work for scholars. Artsystems support has been invaluable over the last twenty plus years! We are grateful to have them as part of our support system.

Pros

The ease of use; the ability to include a variety of images; and the Customer Service is FABULOUS

Cons

The annual cost - but it is worth it! We take advantage of the services provided. Money well spent.

We have been using Artsystems for many years at Gary Price Studios and have been pleased with their level of support when needed and with how the software is designed. We love how simple it is to use and does not require a lot of training to understand how it was designed. The new A5 cloud based system has been a great improvement for us as we can manage our needs and records on the go. We would highly recommend working with Artsystems!!

Pros

I love the convenience of the cloud based program, it is easy to use and very simple to navigate.

Cons

At this point in my usage I do not have any issues with the new A5 cloud based program.
