"Sirsi, needs cajoling, but could be worse"

3/5

What do you like best about SirsiDynix Symphony?

I like being able to specify categories and easily sort of toggle through settings to find the appropriate material. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SirsiDynix Symphony?

Really random and irrelevant items will sometimes come up and disrupt a search. Also, there are sometimes too many categories and not enough options to include multiple (e.g. juv_easy and deposit). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's a tedious system."

2/5

What do you like best about SirsiDynix Symphony?

When you look at the screen, everything is there for you under individual tabs. So if you're learning how to use it, it can be easy as long as you know the exact task you wanna do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SirsiDynix Symphony?

I also feel like there are too many tabs. Before I used Sierra, and everything you wanted to do was intuitive. Anything to help with a patron, it was all under the Check Out tab. It feels like an extra nuisance to go to all these different tabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SirsiDynix Symphony:

It's an adjustment period learning how to use it, but once you do it's pretty easy. It's just a lot of little windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SirsiDynix Symphony solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm currently learning how to use it. But it's really useful to help patrons find books, whether or not it's checked out at that library, whether it's a local item only, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
