It goes off line from time to time. This year is the first year that I have had so many problems with surpass going off line. I have had to notify

What do you like best about Surpass Select?

I find the surpass software to be easy to use, and quite intuitive to the unique needs of our school library. It is apparent that the designers have listened closely to suggestions and feedback from those of us "in the field," and have adjusted the program as necessary to meet the changing needs of school library management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Surpass Select?

Honestly, I wish it was a little less costly, but I understand that design of a program this extensive and complicated does not come cheaply. Surpass is reliable and efficient, which is why the penny-pincher in me would like to se it cost less, but the practical side of me understands that you get what you pay for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Surpass Select:

Do not forego any training available before "diving in." The software works well, but you'll find your experience more worthwhile if you give yourself the proper education on it before attempting to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Surpass Select solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped us to gain control of a school library inventory of more than 5,000 books. It is simple enough to use that we can train parent volunteers to mange it easily, but it is also powerful enough to meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
