Terrible software and even worse customer support.

I learned to appreciate other rental software providers.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Vendor Response

Hello Michael, We are sorry to read that. We have one of the highest success percentage of implementation with Sirius Enterprise. The feedback that we get from customers is that Sirius e is very user friendly that customers are getting a lot of value for the price. We proud ourselves with an application that has no known bugs. Again, we are sorry. As you experienced over the years, we are always there to help and satisfy our customers.

Sirius-e is the most modular and cost-effective software solution for the Equipment Rental Industry.

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.

PROS

Customization Inventory Tracking Options Sub-Rental & Repair Management

CONS

Ease of Use Inconsistent Functionality Between Windows/Modules

Productive Collaboration

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.

PROS

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

CONS

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

Vendor Response

We are happy to hear about the positive impact it has had on your business and we certainly appreciate your eagerness to learn and work with us.
