Evaluating eTapestry and Competitors

  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Vendor Reputation
The reputation that eTapestry had was by far one of the most important factors when choosing this program. It has a great reputation for delivering good results, keeping excellent and organized record as well as being easy to use. When working with board members it was important we use a program that had a good reputation as well.
If we had to change our evaluation and selection process, I may have suggested using the trial periods for some of the other products out there that are similar to eTapestry. This may have shown us what other programs are capable of but also why eTapestry was the best choice.

Yes - Because the team at eTapestry is incredibly helpful and well-trained.
When we began to add different modules onto the program, we needed help navigating them and learning how to use them in the best ways possible. They took the time to go through the new modules and explain the different functions within each one. The support team was always patient and friendly and a pleasure to work with while learning the new modules.
