Artlogic

Pros: First of all has to be the people behind it. Every experience with them from the initial set up to every dumb support question we asked was met with enthusiasm. They're friendly, honest, and aren't trying to screw you around like some of the other big systems.

Second is the ease of use. Teaching our staff how to use the software was a breeze, and even the
technologically impaired could figure out it's intuitive design. It's a clean and straightforward system that just makes sense.

Third has to be the scope. Compare it against any other CMS software and you will find it can do everything they can and more. Not only that but they are adding new features at a rate much faster than their competitors, setting them years ahead of everyone else.

Finally I would have to say the time saving. Linking the database to our website, automating our invoicing, creating custom sales offers, drafting newsletters in seconds. The amount of time Artlogic has saved our team is astounding, and it only gets better the more you use it.

Cons: I have to nitpick to find cons. The price is expensive compared to some options, but it's
extremely competitive and even cheaper than the other systems at it's level.

It is an "off-the-shelf" system, so there are some trade offs you will have to make. It won't be exactly like your existing system, but it's extremely well built, so chances are if you concede on some points your own database will be better organized in the long run. The plus side of this, they're always open to feedback, and happy to add new features as long as you're willing to wait for them (or pay pretty reasonable fees to rush them)

They're only recently (2017-2018) gaining a foothold in North America, so it's a bit Euro-centric still. But with new offices in NYC, and picking up some of the biggest galleries here as clients, they are already well on their way to adapting a more globalized mindset. They're still growing, so it's a great time to get on board with them.

Pros: Our gallery started using Artlogic in early 2017 after 15 years on our own custom made database. We spent 3 years conceptualizing a new system and exploring the various software available on the market but nothing, in our opinion, came remotely close to Artlogic. The interface is intuitive and the comprehensive artwork cataloguing and sorting tools reflect Artlogic's superior understanding of an art gallery's needs. The list of features is endless and we we continue to be amazed as more are added regularly and rolled out to the benefit of subscribing galleries.

The design team is brilliant and we are of course pleased with the phenomenal website they built for us.

The quality of Artlogic's database and their website development team is surpassed only by their outstanding client services and support. The Artlogic team is amazing. They understood the challenges of the importing our data, quoted us accurately (on budget!), delivered the database and website efficiently and have provided fantastic support when we were confronted with challenges along the way.

Last but certainly not least, Artlogic is reasonably priced and represents excellent value.

Cons: Our art gallery deals primarily in historical paintings whereas I believe most galleries using Artlogic deal primary market paintings. It required some creative solutions for us to fit all relevant historical data into the existing fields. The Artlogic team made it work and the results are great so it is hardly a "con" but it is the only way in which Artlogic is not perfect streamlined for our business.

Overall: With our transition to Artlogic, our two galleries gained the benefit of features and technology developed for the hundreds of other Artlogic clients. The system is optimized for cataloguing inventory, automatically generating branded documents and even includes an integrated client emailer.

These powerful features have saved us countless hours and our clients love the results.

Pros: I was tasked with finding a new inventory system for the Arthur Roger Gallery and after months of research and discussions with various companies, I selected Artlogic. It was the best decision I made in my position. It revolutionized the gallery's workflow and further elevated its professionalism. The artists, clients and vendors all took notice, and the gallery continues to receive positive feedback on its impact. The Artlogic team is incredible and a complete joy to work with.

- Responsive and personable support team
- Timely updates incorporating industry trends and client feedback
- Attractive and intuitive interface with comprehensive database
- Good amount of customization
- Robust and effortless reporting function
- Professional presentation materials
- Great workflow tools for inventory status and client engagement
- Successful cross-functionality between inventory and contact management
- Beautiful, professional, functional PrivateViews app

The gallery had just invested in a new, standalone website and didn't have the bandwidth to bridge it with the database, nor explore the marketing tools.

Cons: The only area where I could identify room for improvement is with the timeliness of the sync between the database and the PrivateViews app. However, the current state never interfered with staff operating successfully and professionally with clients.

Pros: We carefully selected ArtLogic from a range of options due to its powerful capabilities, aesthetics, user-friendly interfaces, excellent development/support team and the road-map for the future of the software. The team understand the industry needs in great detail and are at the forefront of tech developments (refreshing in the art industry). From the detail cataloguing, database management and image management to the flexibility of the private view sharing and app - there really is nothing that comes close. The future is very bright for ArtLogic.

Cons: No API to connect to external software and apps (but I am lead to believe this is under development...)

Overall: We are many times more efficient as a result. It makes us look engaging and professional at all times. We wow clients.

Pros: Artlogic is intuitive, easy to use and efficiently organizes and manages my day to day tasks. The team at Artlogic is an absolute pleasure to work with, always quick to respond to any queries I might have, and is constantly listening to the needs of their clients and making upgrades in response to this. Artlogic is visually stunning, and the PrivateViews app has streamlined my workflow when travelling for art fairs. As well, Team always make a point of coming by to say hello when we are in the same city for art fairs and that personal relationship is greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Artlogic enough - the team is amazing, it has changed the way that I work and it is an essential part of our business.

Cons: The only thing holding me back from using the software earlier was the price (which, for a small gallery was a big commitment for us), however Artlogic has massively organized my admin workload, inventory and invoicing so I can spend more time with clients and artists, and is certainly worth the investment!

Pros: I was introduced to Artlogic by a colleague from the art world and was immediately seduced by its `look and feel and the user-friendly interfaces. Not being an IT person, this internet-based database solution offered me a very professional and multi-platform solution which allowed me to provide top quality documentation and reporting to the collectors I am supporting. The support team has also always been very friendly and efficient. I recommend it !

Cons: If any, the design of the visual identity in the exported documents (name of collection, logo,...) could be improved.

Pros: Artlogic is a very hefty program. There are numerous functions to cover every need you might have, from removing the cents off of the prices on offer lists to entering shared costs and split payment features in the accounting section.
The user support is fantastic. We had a visual for how our invoices would be generated and the Art Logic team built a new template so the sold artwork and corresponding details would be laid out how we wanted.
The multiple programs covered in one user system is streamlined and easy to control. Along with the inventory system we also use Artlogic for our eblasts and website build out and couldn't be more pleased with having all these functions under one system. We now never have to duplicate entering in an artwork or client information.

Cons: There are so many functions that it does take awhile to get use to all of them. In particular, customizing lists when sorting artworks.

Pros: The features and functionality are everything we asked for during art fairs. We can easily make beautiful and elegant presentations of our works, and send personalized emails to collectors without this task being so time-consuming. All features are very well thought-through, as we can show/hide certain information, add documents like bios or press releases to our private views, etc. Plus, the customer service is always there to help us! They're very efficient and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Cons: Nothing really. If I have to pick something, I would say that there are so many options that you might be a bit overwhelmed when you start using the software. This is not a downside but mainly a positive thing! What I mean is, if you want to make the most out of Art Logic/Private Views, you will need to invest a little bit of your time and effort to understand the features and how to use them properly.

Pros: What we've found AL to be most helpful with has been tracking stock, tracing statuses of deals, payment schedulesTA statuses. Being able to instantly create presentation documents, consignment agreements, invoices, COA's, shipping docuemnts etc. (no more InDesign!)

Cons: Certain elements of the UI (which is generally pretty spot on) could be improved, the app also needs to be improved.

Pros: Artlogic proved an invaluable resource in organizing the gallery's wide network of contacts. Using it's software, we tailored, segmented, and tagged our contacts in a way that allowed us to not only store but also analyze a variety of data. We documented each team member's interaction with individual clients via the contact narrative feature, thereby capturing detailed relationship histories that informed future strategy and conversation. By revealing trends in information and patterns in behavior, Artlogic enabled us to transform our rolodex into an active tool.

Cons: Artlogic would be made even more useful if it could integrate with other softwares, specifically ticketing style softwares.

Overall: Artlogic enables us to store, organize, and better understand our vast network of contacts. Using this software has enabled us to segment our audience with purpose based on useful data and connect with them accordingly.

Pros: Super integrated, great functionality. It continues to evolve making it indispensable for running our business.

Cons: We have no complaints the software has developed with feedback over the years and evolved to suit our needs.

Pros: It is easy to handle, the support is very friendly and helpful and super efficient. A very stylish and clear design.

Cons: As I am working since 5 years with this tool, (before I worked with other tools) it speaks for itself!

Pros: It does every I need to run my art business as a curator and artist. Beautiful UI. The customer support is always there and friendly and they go the extra mile to make sure I get the most out of Artlogic. I would also recommend using the integration with one of their website templates.

Overall: Nothing bad to say about the software. I wish I had found Artlogic earlier it would have saved me time and money!

Pros: It has the capacity to contain all data.
Ease of access to information.
Search tools and document creation

Cons: Sync to Private views is bit difficult since it is slow.
Not all information is relayed on it.

Pros: Love the customization tools. The design team is great. It's easy to setup and maintain. Customer service is quick and efficient.

Cons: It would be awesome if it were cheaper but I understand all the costs associated with running an interface like this so I'm happy to oblige with the cost!

Pros: Things I like most about this software
- Such a powerful database - there is not one single thing that you cannot save somewhere in the Artlogic database. There are so many fields, we will never be able to use them all! Definitely the most complete database out there for galleries.
- Interface is beautiful and easy to use.
- Easy communication between the database and the app.
- Friendly and personal client services.

Cons: One issue for us is that it is hard to have the word documents and pdfs that you export from the database in our own visual identity. There is definitely some room for improvement there.

Pros: Easy to use and setup.
everything about your artowork is there.
Customer service is awesome!
Private view is excelente to show your artwork for clients.

Cons: Nothing! Every artist should use it. I can't imagine my studio and my artwork editions without this system.

Pros: - Possibility to add a variety of info about each artwork.
- Quick and efficient customer support. Always willing to add new features and adapt the system to better serve the clients.
- Everything online!
- Private Views app

Cons: All the different tabs and possibilities can take a bit of time to get used to, but they certainly end up being a great source of information about each piece. Further, the team at Art Logic is always ready to answer our doubts and requests.

Pros: The interface design is very clean and easy to use and setup. The customer service is great and
efficient!

Cons: I really can not say anything negative about Artlogic. It saves me time, and money. Every artist or collector should try it

Overall: It saves me a lot of time
