Terrible software and even worse customer support.

Reviewed 7 years ago

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,...

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.

Productive Collaboration

Reviewed 8 years ago

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...

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

Thank you for the kind and honest feedback. We are so glad to hear that your experience with both the software and the Orion team, has been such a positive and rewarding one! 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. While Sirius e is not considered to be a veteran in the software industry, it has definitely earned its spot as being reliable, trusted and user friendly since its development years ago. Orion Software as a company has many more years rental industry experience. Sirius e is built on that experience! As new features are constantly evolving within the software as per our users' requests, we look forward to your insight and will certainly take it to heart!

Overall the experience has been really good. It is definitely a software with a lot of potential.

Reviewed 7 years ago

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

Pros

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

Cons

-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...

Vendor response

Hello Chino, We thank you for taking the time to review our product and give us your insight on the experience! We are pleased to announce that in the very near future, we will have a new and improved support portal that will allow for smooth and efficient tracking and managing of any of your requests! As well, we will be offering a New Features section that will keep you in the loop on any new features or modifications made within the software! We knew that we did need to improve on the communication side and we feel that this process will have a tremendously positive impact on the Customer Experience!

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

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.

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

Cons

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.

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.

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.

Best Rental Software I have ever implemented.

Reviewed 9 years ago

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.

Old, slow and out dated

Reviewed 9 years ago

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.

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.
