Our library has been a proud SirsiDynix customer since the late 80's but I can't help but think they've failed the academic market. We need all-in-one (functionality AND pricing) solutions like Alma or WMS, not to be nickel and dimed with expensive add-ons such as having to purchase a separate Discovery service, BC Analytics and their Coral-based ERM solutions that are undersupported for their entire client base and too complicated to use. Also--we've been waiting over a decade for the BC web-based functionality, such as BC Circ and Cat, to be comparatively functional with their parallel Symphony and Horizon systems. They've had plenty of time, and my patience is wearing thin. After all this time, it is unlikely we will remain a SirsiDynix customer when we next evaluate systems.

We do not have enough IT support available to consider open source.

With the advent of COVID and having to pivot the library's access to more eResources and increased usage of automated circulation equipment such as self checkout/in, the integration between the ILS and these vendors has been challenging as the configuration options have been limited and outdated with the need to be more flexible with various vendors and environments. Development of ILS integration feels slow based on community and external pressures. A great ILS company to work with and be in partnership with.

We do not have graduate students at our institution and there was no way to reflect that in my answer

We are in the process of moving from Horizon to Symphony, so it's not quite right to say we're considering it. We are 2/3 of the way migrated across with it.

We have looked at other systems, however, there are trade-offs with whichever system you choose. Our main issue is the yearly maintenance fees, which seem to us to be unreasonable. However, if you choose a system with lower maintenance costs then we don't have as many bells and whistles. We haven't found a system that does what we want for a price that is enough of a savings to warrant the retraining of staff.

We are very content with Horizon, Enterprise and their various associated and add-on products, in particular Syndetics Unbound and eResource Central. Reporting packages could be easier to use.

Regarding management of electronic resources, we have not engaged with any additional tools available to integrate/consolidate the management of those resources. Our scoring for the question regarding satisfaction in that area therefore reflects both the vendor implementation - this feature doesn't come along native to the ILS with no effort - and our own prioritization of this area which are influenced by budget, time required to investigate and the current consolidation of public library e-resources with fewer vendors.

Our previous 5-year user agreement with SirsiDynix expired on 10/31/2021. We spent the greater part of the past year researching ILS options and determining if we should move to another ILS vendor, and open source ILS or renew our agreement with SirsiDynix. Based on the attractive pricing for a 5 year contract and the inclusion of several new products that will work in conjunction with our ILS, including a mobile app and community engagement product, we decided to renew with SirsiDynix for 5 more years. So far, implementation of the new products has gone well and the support team has been very helpful. One area that definitely needs improvement is the discovery product and how our electronic resources are displayed there. We know that we have the option to add more of our electronic resources to our existing catalog, but doing so will effectively bury our physical holdings without having to a lot of back-end customization that our staff aren't prepared to handle. We have chosen not to add our electronic holdings to our public catalog at this time for that reason.

Last year [...] conducted an ILS RFP. After reviewing the responses, [...] signed a new master agreement with SirsiDynix to remain on a locally-hosted install of their Horizon ILS, which we have . The new agreement has an initial term of 3 years, with two, optional, 1-year extensions. We're very pleased with Horizon, as it's the only ILS we found that can accommodate our large consortia set up. The way SirsiDynix integrated e-resource content in Enterprise is outstanding. It allows each of our members to have distinct e-resource subscriptions and collections in their catalog instances, while avoiding the headaches of managing MARC records and access in the ILS database. This was one of the most important considerations we made when deciding to remain on Horizon.
I would like to note that I wish development of their BlueCloud products was moving at a faster pace. Their cataloging and circulation modules are still not at a point that I can put them into production in our consortia, due to the inability to record key patron information within the BlueCloud interface.

Our relationship with SirsiDynix is very good and their customer service and support it excellent. However, with our move towards digital services accelerating over the last two years, Horizon's technical deficiencies are becoming more pronounced.

Our library's current system isn't user-friendly for staff or end users, and we are currently looking into options for a new ILS.

I gave the question about how effectively the library's ILS is at managing electronic resources a "5" because this was the best answer I could give to approximate a neutral response. The actual response is "N/A" because the electronic resources for this library are not managed through the ILS at all.

Don't have staff or skills to maintain open source but have heard great things about Koha from small Libraries
