VERDICT

Should I use Tyler Technologies?

Software & services for the public sector - tylertech.com

Depends. Buy only if you are a US local government, court, school district, or utility needing a full ERP/courts suite; Tyler is the category leader there. Private companies and small teams should not buy — this is contract-driven, sales-led public-sector software.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 30+ public sources; snippets truncated and no public pricing page, so pricing detail is limited.
