We are more efficient getting back with clients and when we have questions, the developers get back with us so fast\! It is truly amazing. > > **Cons**: We have had no issues. I am not the fastest when it comes to technology, but it is intuitive and has continued to become more and more intuitive and user friendly. > > It is an easy to use, affordable, wonderful product that is a game changer. The developers continue to communicate with and listen to clients who have ideas for improvements and ideas that other products lack, so Primer just keeps getting better\! ----- ### "Can't run my gallery without it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *November 13, 2025* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the software and cannot imagine running my gallery without it. I have been so impressed by the ease of use as someone who is not tech-savvy. The developers are incredibly responsive and thorough when I have questions. This is my first gallery and Primer gives me confidence on the organizational and business end. > > **Cons**: No cons. Primer allows me to run my business in an organized and professional manner. Which impresses and gives confidence to both artists and clients. > > So helpful and not intimidating. I am even building my gallery's website using Primer's online viewing rooms, which makes maintaining my website so quick and easy. ----- ### "The Best Gallery Management System I've Used" — 5.0/5 > **Madison** | *August 5, 2026* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've worked at several galleries and have used a handful of different gallery management systems, and Primer is by far the best. It's intuitive, efficient, and clearly built by people who understand how galleries work. Managing inventory, contacts, and day-to-day admin tasks is straightforward without feeling overly complicated. The client service team is incredibly responsive, attentive to feedback, and consistently rolls out meaningful improvements that reflect the real needs of galleries and artists. > > **Cons**: As with any gallery management system, a few of the more advanced features take some time to learn, but the curve is minor compared to other systems I've used. > > Primer has made gallery operations noticeably smoother across the board, from artist and inventory management to daily admin work. It's efficient, beautifully designed, and organized with real gallery workflows in mind. I'd highly recommend it to any gallery weighing their options. ----- ### "Primer review" — 4.0/5 > **Lilli** | *January 22, 2026* | Fine Art | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Primer team is very helpful and the program has lots of great features. Highly recommend this platform\! > > **Cons**: There can be a bit of a learning curve but overall the program is easy to use once you get the hang of it. > > Primer is great\! The data is well organized, the platform itself and the team are very reliable. Would recommend. ----- ### "I strongly recommend Primer\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jordan** | *September 26, 2022* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Primer is trusted for me as one of the best software for art galleries and art advisory companies. It is well designed, clear, and offers everything you need in one place. I especially love that it's one fee without a bunch of add ons and extras. This software is absolutely worth the subscription fee. > > **Cons**: There is little, if anything, that can be improved. Whenever I have needed something altered to suit my business needs, they've either offered me a work around or created a solution to my problem. They are also always adding to the software to make it work better for all on the platform. > > I have had a great experience with Primer. The developers are very responsive and quick to answer any question or issue I've ever had. I love this software and can't imagine doing business without it. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/170626/primer?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/170626/primer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
