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,...
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.

My company rents Lighting and Grip equipment to the Film & Television industry in Los Angeles.

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...
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
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!

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...
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!

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.
Hello BJ, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to give us your feedback which is so crucial to our business! We are glad that you have taken such a great command of the software as a SUPER user. Any obstacles of a technical can be promptly addressed by a support team member who will gladly assist!

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.
Hello Mark, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this valuable feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoy most of Sirius e's features. We are happy to inform you that our application offers over 70 standard reports and graphs, combined with a powerful report designer tool. We would be glad to provide further support should you ever want to learn more about this feature. We're just a quick phone call away.

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...)

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.
Hello Warner, We are thrilled to hear that our software solution has been so helpful and that it has had such a tremendously positive impact on your business! We truly do value the partnership we have established with both yourself and Airtool over the course of the past few years and we look forward to working together as we evolve. We are always looking for new ideas and feedback from Sirius e users and we invite you to share yours with us! Lastly, our software is indeed quite "intelligent" as YOU are ! We can definitely assist you with any questions and/or advanced features you may want to get better familiarized with.

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.
Hello Fred, Thank you for taking the time to offer us your feedback! We are pleased to see that you are enjoying the features and benefits of the software and that they have added value to the overall efficiency of your business operations! We are always willing to take your development recommendations into consideration as the voice of the customer speaks volumes!

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
We thank you for taking the time to offer us your feedback! We take pride in our solid customer service and our implementation team is highly regarded by all!

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.

We are glad that your experience has proven to be generally a positive one and that our software has had a good impact on your daily operations and growth.

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.

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.
Hello Ross, Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. While we thrilled that you are greatly satisfied with the overall quality of the software, we would like to have the opportunity to work a little closer with your in order to uncover what your needs would be with respect to the setup and learning process. As well, we fully integrate with QuickBooks provided the module has been purchased. We would be happy to discuss this with you! We are in the process of updating our user manual which we feel will also bring value!

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 .

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.

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.
