CatBase

Catbase is a database publishing tool that allows the user to turn the database and spreadsheet into the formatted log, price list or directory. The software helps the user to manage the time and money in an organized manner. Catbase has a friendly user interface and user does not find any difficulty in its operation. The customer support of this product is very responsive and provides the user with instant help. This software has a very helpful tutorial for the beginners and that help them to use the software with ease. The company also provides a free trial version of this desktop deployed software, due to which the user can try the software before buying it.

The major issue the user feels with the CatBase software is that it is not cloud deployed software. Because of its desktop-based software, it eats up a large part of the memory of the PC. There are some minor bugs that the company would fix in the upcoming upgrade. The other downside of the software is that the user can't write their own scripts using this software. The many-to-one and one-to-many relationship data and tables become difficult to understand. The cost of the product is high as compared to other competitive software providing similar services.

CatBase is one of the best software that automates the time-consuming tasks and saves a lot of time of the user. The software allows the user to import the data from ODBC, XML or text files and publish to QuarkXPress, XML, ODBC, Adobe InDesign, Excel, and RTF. This software is an excellent solution for catalog production as well as directory production. Overall, I recommend this software to the organization that needs to make their workflow easier.
