Considering the digitization of natural history collections two main companies have developed optimized software regarding this specific community. From those with experience hands-on what would be your favorite and why?

If you know please tell me more about:

- Flexibility in adding new fields,

- Independence from the company,

- Daily support,

- Price of maintenance.

Thanks for all the help.
