Dear Grzegorz,

It depends on your throughput and the types of feature that you
want to measure from the images.

Columbus is based on OMERO (https://www.openmicroscopy.org),
which is freely available. Both of them are good for managing
and/or visualizing large numbers of images, but they only have
basic analysis capabilities. Also, the processing is done on the
server side, so you would need a very powerful server if the
workload is going to be heavy.  

You may also try cellXpress (http://www.cellxpress.org), which is
developed by us and currently one of the fastest software for
high-content image analysis. The cellXpress software can extract
more complex features, and has a convenient interface for
exporting the extracted features into Excel or the R environment
for further analysis or visualization.

Please feel free to PM me if you need help on using cellXpress.

Regards,
Lit-Hsin
