It is easy to use . Everything is clear visualisations and design of the program make you comfortable to use it , Searching for other CMS development resources easy .They are everywhere.

Security : when powering 20 percent of you web you can be hacked.It difficult to reach customer service :(

Perfect software for the rental industrie.

Specifically suits rental industry Many fonctions (complete ERP) Constant evolution, adds-on and updates. We have a lot of listening from the developper It help us to be more efficient in our operations

May take a litlle long to get use to all the features

I learned to appreciate other rental software providers.

Its visually appealing. If they spent as much time actually fixing the program as they do making it look nice, it might be a usable program.

This software severely under performs from what they promise. I went with the cloud system which is very slow and continually has glitches. We moved from Sirius Pro to Sirius e thinking it was an improvement. Don't waste your time, at least Sirius Pro calculated depreciation correctly, it tracked inventory correctly, produced usable reports, printed IWO more than 50% of the time when items are returns, etc. We have had nothing but problems with this program. If you use Sirius Pro or another software package and are looking to change, please avoid Sirius e at all costs. In hindsight it should have been obvious, it took roughly a year between starting the transition process to actually going live. In that time we were fixing many issues we were having, and we will have spent the last 8 month calling in to support on a weekly basis for fixes. If you are thinking of going to their cloud system, please avoid. It is slow and productivity will drop. It can take 5-10 seconds for a screen to pop up. When you have a customer on the phone asking for a price and availability, and it takes a couple minutes, that is unacceptable. If you are on the cloud system like myself, good luck getting it back onto your own server. I have been asking for months and still have no resolution on this. I could write a book on the issues we have had with Sirius e. Please avoid this rental software and this company at all costs.

My company rents Lighting and Grip equipment to the Film & Television industry in Los Angeles. Our rental industry is atypical and we've struggled to find software that can track our complex inventory in a fast-paced environment. Sirius-e gives us the flexibility to track our inventory using a variety of tools to maximize return on investment. The item management capabilities are immense, including the ability to serialize and schedule routine maintenance for each item. When adding kits or packages to a rental transaction, you can modify a variety of accessory options'this is important to our industry because lighting globes and grip mounts are often requested in varying configurations. As soon as the items are added to the transaction, we can send a quote, generate a rental contract for the warehouse, and/or send an immediate invoice. A calendar and bar graph show each item's availability and the user can track where each item is, and when it will be returned. Sirius-e also allows us to temporarily add sub-rented items to our available inventory so that we can fulfill customer orders without showing an inventory deficit. Similarly, we can remove damaged items from our available inventory while they are being repaired. In our industry, tracking sub-rentals and repairs is essential to maintaining an accurate inventory count at all times. There are robust accounting features that I don't use because we run our accounting through Quickbooks, but I still benefit from detailed Item statistics that only Sirius-e can provide. Admittedly, some aspects of the program are not easy to use, some features don't function yet, and the interface feels outdated at times. However, I ignore those functionality aspects because the core program does exactly what my rental business needs it to do. Perhaps my favorite part about Sirius-e is it's customized modularity. You can design your own forms and reports with a variety of filters and formulas that narrow down the data to exactly what you need. Sirius-e was not perfect for my business out of the box, but the training support staff at Orion was patient and worked with me to configure the software to fit my business needs before going Live. If Sirius-e lacked a unique feature that my business exclusively needed, Orion engineers were able to create the feature, sometimes at an additional cost. The value for money is incredible, and I do not believe you will find better rental software that can do so much for this price.

We had the pleasure to work with Orion Software for more than 4 years. We have seen Sirius-E developing from its early days into the reliable rental software it is today. Personally I have worked in the rental industry for over 8 years and I had the opportunity to test a few rental management software solutions available on the market. I can say that Sirius-E is at the top of the list for its user friendly interface, easy access to data and convenient integration with other platforms. But the most important aspect of our business cooperation was the pleasure to work with their team, a great group of knowledgeable professionals with friendly attitude and always accessible when we needed assistance. If a trusted partnership is important to you, I can recommend Orion to be the rental software vendor you can count on.

easy to use and allows for great integrations with other apps and customization if you have some technical background.

its still on its early stages and some features are not fully developed. however, noting their interest to learn from their customer's feedback i see great potential in the years to come

HAs the potential to track inventory really well, but some issues must be ironed out

Really visual and helpful, as well as fairly easy to use. Transactions and client accounts are easy to manage.

-Customer Support seems understaffed. Takes too long for them to get back to us even if it is urgent. When we send a notification for an issue, they take too long to get back to us. Sometimes they don't even acknowledge the receipt of the email. There is no followup on open tickets or updates from the support team, even when the ticket has been resolved. All of the agents are great and really helpful once you get a hold of one. -The colors for inventory availability, within a transaction, do not display properly most of the time and it is really annoying. -Availability graphs are not precise enough -Quite inconsistent. Things that work great one day, do not work the following. When changes are done on updates, we are not notified what has been changed. -There are a lot of steps that are a waste of time and could be done much easier and faster -Because it is a complicated system, that does a lot of different things, there is not enough time with the trainer to understand and learn all of the features it has before going live. The training hours after that are insanely expensive.

Ease of use. Clear and visible format. The program is great overall. It took quite some time to work out all the issues in the beginning, but it's definitely come up from where we started.

Program is slow at times. Errors occurring randomly (but not as often now) Time it takes to get support back on issues. We pay for "Elite" Support and still have a 2 - 3 day wait time to get a response sometimes.

Sirius E offers an abundance of valuable features to quickly identify costs, looks up transactions, and manage both rental and sales transactions. The program is easy to learn and easy to use. The best feature is their support and development team. They listen to their clients and continuously add new, valuable features to help us manage remain focused on our business. They offer excellent customer support, a key component to keep business moving.

More reports for management needed. Sirius pro offered reports that we used frequently to monitor business that are not available in Sirius, yet.

Once you learn it's many features, it is very intuitive and fluid in execution. It communicates fairly well amongst its different transaction operations.

I am disappointed that I cannot attain a correct grand total, at times, with PO's, due to lacking 1 more decimal place in the list price on the PO itself, or on the purchase tab on items management, there needs 2 more decimal points in the listed and last listed cost fields, I have to round up to make the last cost be factual. And then I have to try to resolve the issue on the PO end ( see 1st listed con...)

- A lot of options and functionalities - Possibility of integrated accounting

- It takes a lot of time to open

Point of rental and sales tracking and analysis.

Flexible enough to query the data in many various applications. It provides critical info regarding status, location, utilization, maintenance, status in transit, rates, revenue and R.O.I. from individual branches and/or consolidated reports.

This program is way smarter than I am, and I'm still working on improving my skills.

Easy to enter contracts and manage rentals and assets operationally. Easy to contact support. Also, Orion is willing to consider development changes suited to our business.

Software had difficulty starting up. Initial resource assigned led us down incorrect paths. Resources seemed stretched to support items other than simple support questions. Software seems it was developed for specific rental sector. We have a more general rental model. This caused development items.

I've been using Sirius e for 9 months now and I couldn't be happier about the customer service. If a need ever appeared due to my particular business requirement, the implementation team, the programmers and the customer service team worked hand in hand with me to provide a solution the was both affordable and efficient. Having looked and researched other rental software solution in the past, I can confidently say that Sirius e does everything the competition does but at a fraction of the price. Highly recommend it. And it's also available in french!

Does everything I need to work efficiently

Sometimes pretty slow and unstable

The versatile searching abilities of the program are great, finding and filtering via the dashboard are extremely helpful.

The inventory and accounting side of the program needs some attention. Also reporting, many of the reports that we would like to see are not readily available and would need to be created.

The initial setup and learning curve is a lot more difficult than I would have liked. I feel like there are a lot of areas where the program could be made more user friendly and self explanatory for the end user.

The lack of bugs. Rental inventory tracking.

Does not integrate with QuickBooks as much as I would like.

Looking forward to working with Orion on future enhancements. Their team always listens. Would love to spend time with a power user similar to what we do. So much to learn about this software, discover a lot of useful features all the time. This software has a lot to offer and is affordable.

A lot of features to help with daily operations of inventory control between branches.

Some restrictions on reporting and accounting - still learning.

We brought all our activities together in one software, improved the accuracy of our billing and inventory.

It is a complete software, both in terms of inventory management, maintenance management, transport, accounting, wireless application, .... Not to mention the quality / price ratio, much cheaper than the competition!

Nothing except that this software is available for all our competitors!

We have been with Orion Software now for approx. 12 years. The first program we used was Sirius Pro, then we tried another software for a year, then upgraded to the new Sirius . We have had a couple of minor challenges, there was nothing that we were not able to discuss and resolve through direct communication with their team. Orion staff know us by name. They are friendly, not only helping with problems, but also with giving us ideas on how to do things better. Orion also offers solutions and how to implement new ideas into their software based on our needs. The software is very user- friendly, and it has rental features beyond others that we've tried. Sirius E has been the most dependable program that we have used to this point. We think this is the best program with respect to quality and price , definitely the best bang for your buck!

From day 1, the experience was very friendly, easy going and always there to help in any way possible. Even when we required extra training they went the extra step to make sure that our staff was well prepared. Thank you to Jeff Taylor and Jennifer Pierfelice for all your help. Great work.

in the long run it will save us time and money knowing where our stock is at all times.

just a few extra steps than the current software we have but it provides a lot more.

Our experience with the Team at Orion has been very favourable. They listen to our wants and needs and put forth 100% effort to complete all modifications as requested. The software program makes it easy to track our equipment and ensure timely invoicing, whereas in the past this was an issue for us. The program offers a great deal of integrations and mobile applications that make 'yard' work more efficient. As well, it offers a quick glance dashboard for unit/item availability and ROI. Thank you Team Orion for helping us streamline and organize our equipment, rental revenues and service work! Building our rental business has become that much easier!

As the General Manager of Abacus Rent it a national office equipment hire company in Australia with 5 stores and 32 staff, I would like to thank Orion Software for making management of quotes, bookings ,contracts, rental assets, income and return on investment easy. Over the last 15 years we have had 4 different rental management systems, none with the power, accuracy speed and ease of use of Sirius E. Orion Software is proud of the product they have produced and you can tell by the finished product. If you are running sirius Pro in a multi branch environment move up it will pay you back over and over again. Do not hesitate to contact me to hear my story about how Orion Software and the software is used as the main foundation to run our multi-million dollar business on.

I asked for a referral before we purchased this product and you would not give me one client to speak with. I found that very strange. When we had training over the phone I thought is was poorly done. We were fortunate that the GM had used your software before (that is why we purchased it) or we would have never got it running correctly. Sirius loses data often and half the accounting entry is there while the other half is gone. And there is no way to fix the issue. We were considering upgrading to the new software but once again, no referrals to back up your product. And the price for the upgrade is too expensive.

We implement the Sirius e service for our 60 users in may 2016. Since the first day, we have from Orion software a solid comitment to develop the service to adapt it on our reality of event rental industry. We are pleased about the software, but we are very excited about the potential of the futur developments of Sirus e.

We were a customer for about 8 years and had the most inconsistent customer service and support imaginable. Custom form requests that never got done, billing issues almost every month, account managers changing frequently with no notice or follow up, failure to return calls, refusal to return records at the end of the contract, and downright disrespectful treatment by the head of customer service. It would have been easy to keep us as a client but the treatment we received turned us into huge "anti Sirius" proponents. You guys need to look at how you service your customers and who is on the front line really seriously. I am rarely this negative but I am about Orion soft. Stop sending me stuff.

It has taken an extremely long time to get this to even work the way it was expected to work. It was months of trying to get an interbranch transfer to work and the Fedex interface still doesn't work, or if it does I haven't seen it work. I am very interested in moving to this product IF IT WILL WORK!!
