The Orbit Intellogist Report also offers unbiased opinions on the coverage usability of the system. The following text is from the Overview section of the Orbit.com Intellogist report, and it outlines a few of the pros and cons about the coverage, user interface, and search capabilities of the platform:
Overall, the Orbit.com platform includes unique access to the FamPat family records and additional indexing, but users also have other family search options through both the PlusPat and Full Text collections. The Orbit portal focuses on giving users a wide range of options for all types of search, viewing, analysis, saving, import, export, and alert features, but this variety of tools and customization options can sometimes become overwhelming and lead to a cluttered user interface. Experienced patent searchers who become accustomed to the interface will find that the simultaneous viewing options are useful for rapid record review, and the benefits of the variety and flexibility of display options outweigh the occasional confusion from the complex interface. Orbit.com is an advanced patent search platform with broad and unique patent coverage that offers a wide variety of search, display, and result processing tools through a highly customizable user interface.
