My mentor recommended Genesis G4 to help bring a woefully out-of-date library into modern times. My first and only experience with library software is with G4. I learned the basics fairly quickly. When I got into deeper questions such as weeding books from our collection, the kind folks at LRMS were always ready and able to help. I appreciated their first class customer service. > > **Cons**: While I have no comparable experience with other software, I can say that I was frustrated a few times by barcode compatibility issues. I also had difficulty learning some of the more complicated aspects of the software. Not sure if this is a reflection on LRMS or my lack of experience. > > All in all, my experience was much more positive than negative, and I would recommend LRMS G4 software to other librarians without reservation. First-rate customer service and a knowledgeable and ever-learning staff - it's a recipe for continued success\! ----- ### "Best Customer Service Ever" — 4.0/5 > **Pamela** | *6 September 2018* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service is easily the most impressive thing about this software company\! Although all the available systems offer cataloging and circulation that are fairly easily workable, I have never encountered customer service to equal LRMS and G4\! > > **Cons**: Having come to G4 and public libraries from a background in school libraries (with a different, large company's system), I encountered a bit of a learning curve in the transition. However, between documentation and very accessible customer service personnel ready to answer the phone and the questions, the transition was not painful\! > > I have never had a negative experience with this company. Customer Rep. and his group encourage input and recommendations from users regarding ways the system could be improved, and they implement these suggestions\! In the years that I have been using the system, there have been several innovations that have improved the user experience for everyone, and Customer Rep. and his team have provided items for my library that are specific to my needs (for example, specific report formats that I needed.) ----- ### "LRMS Review" — 4.0/5 > **Lori** | *28 August 2018* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service is usually quick and works to solve your problems. > > **Cons**: The reports are sometimes hard to use based on the setup. ----- ### "Genesis G4 manages information resources for any use" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 April 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Genesis G4 helped me to design a system that keep track of legal nstruments for a law firm. The instruments are frequently used by a group of attorneys, therefore I implemented Reserve Shelf management module to take care of short loans. With Genesis, I am able to add, update or delete records pertaining to patrons. I also make use of Genesis G4's feature that creates labels to produce barcodes for fast check-in and check-out of the instruments. Genesis G4's Easy Cataloguing feature allows me to quickly create records of the publications by using the pre-designed templates. Fee Collection module in Genesis G4 helps us to seperate patrons who have paid annual subscription from those who have not. > > **Cons**: Genesis G4 does not support Android operating system. Therefore patrons who use Android devices, and they are many, does not have access to the library system on their mobile devices. ----- ### "LRMS review" — 5.0/5 > **Rose** | *6 September 2018* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been with company since it opened up. I did not have much money to spend and they offered a whole package for a good price. It included the checkout software and the online card catalog. I got to tell them what is good, and what we needed and they listened. The other companies I researched did not and cost a lot more. > > **Cons**: I really don't have any complaints. I can call and they work on the problem right away. > > Every easy to work with. Good people and friendly. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/17406/genesis-g4?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.il/software/17406/genesis-g4) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
