The participants were asked to fill in a satisfaction survey, in an increasing scale of satisfaction from 1 to 7, with questions related to their experience with the Portuguese Web Archive. The obtained results show that users liked to use the service (6.1 average), that they easily learned to use it (5.9 average) and that they easily found the information they were seeking (5.1 average).

The results obtained are positive regarding the quality of the new interface and allowed to set priorities for future service improvements.
