There have been several questions lately about collections management software, both on the MCN List and to us here, via our feedback form. It seems that people have forgotten the work done at CHIN in the Collections Management Software Reviews. First completed as a user service when CHIN was retiring its central database provision, the reviews remain the best coordinated place to get a profile of museum collections management software products and their capabilities (though it is time that they were updated --it's unclear from the CHIN website what the cycle is for keeping this information fresh). Stiil, these are reviews conducted by museum professionals, based on common criteria and should be the starting point for anyone looking in this area.
