Ellucian Reviews - Page 3

Ellucian continues to find new ways to assist the universities with the many needs of the ever increasing technology needs.

Not always do you get the best "training" support, but they will always find a solution.

offers multiple products gives great support

Cost: is more costly than some of its competitors Deployment of newer products to end users could be smoother

Online platform available - the ability to store a lot of information in many different ways, and report customization.

A little clunky in how many clicks it takes to find the information you are looking for.

As a Colleague Support and User, the number one thing I loke about this particular software was the ease of use. It flowed easy for both users and students.

As an Admin using this software, I found that the update process was very complex and time-consuming.

Ellucian allows us to build a functional interface for students and faculty alike.

It breaks. A lot. Can't tell you how many times I've been doing something fairly simple and suddenly Ellucian stops working or says a page can't be displayed.

It’s fairly easy to use but you do need some training on learning all the acronyms they use.

Every time they do an update to the product it seems to disrupt the flow of our production because every one is so thrown off the changes.

I like that you can see a lot of different types of information and don't necessarily need additional software to get the job done.

It can be difficult to navigate through the different windows until you are really well versed.

I like how it allows users to view academic information easily. For higher education this software is greatly beneficial.

I do not like how there are times where the software is glitchy or will sign out if inactive for too long.

Lots of stuff! Love the new self service!! The innovation of Ellucian is amazing!!! They are helpful !!

Sometimes the cost are high for new products and innovations, but I understand they allot of work is done on their behalf.

None. Its a sloggy product, designed with no consideration to the user.

No redeeming qualities. Repeated crashes during most critical time in student advisement and registration.Undermines the ability of our institution to function professionally.

I like the search capability and ease to look up any entity. I also like the ability to have all the information on an entity in one place.

Sometimes there is a lot of duplicate information, I wish there was a way to minimize that or to catch it before some information gets entered twice.

Fully operational ERP, many different tools and options

The company itself is the worst. Their customer service is abysmal.

My workplace uses Ellucian's Banner 9 for a Learning Management System. It's great to use codes to view different records.

Elluican's Banner 9 feels like it wasn't created with input from working professionals who actually use Banner 9. The navigation is clunky and slow. The interface isn't intuitive. I would never recommend this service to my worst enemy. Don't walk away from Ellucian, RUN!

It did pull several systems together under one umbrella

Every time I turn around, they want more resources over and above the original specs

Great suite for information storage and processing.

Odd language for how to navigate. Too difficult for novice users.

Banner allows us to store all of our student information in a campus-wide database in an easy to access system.

The Banner interface by Ellucian SIS is difficult to navigate and complicated to edit. The interface is not the easiest to use and is a big detriment with this software.

Visually appealing and the user interface is easy to use and navigate through tabs. A nice face lift from the older interface.

The program is so slow. When you're trying to do multiple processes a day, the waiting adds up. Sometimes I will wait a whole minute to wait for a process to execute, very frustrating.

This software is one of the most useful software that I have gone though. It helps me a lot in finding scholarship oppartunities.

I did not find many cons on this software but if I want to say one this is quite expensive not user-friendly.

It is awesome to use for allowing students to track degree progress. It is simple for them to log on & see what is still needed.

There are a lot of bugs with this program. There is a high chance it is not working when you log on to use it.

I liked the fact that it could house both student and faculty information at the same time. In addition, it allowed you to input information for instructors and move them around if necessary. We used the Banner by Ellucian software and it was useful for our needs

Nothing to note. It is good for meeting the needs of an institution.

Once you get familiar with this software, it can be user friendly. There are allot of things to learn but once you have mastered them you can achieve some great results on the web.

It is difficult to use as there is so much to learn and know. My institution is constantly holding training's to help people

With the new implementation of the Graduate College student tracking has become a higher priority. With this software our department is able to track students from start to finish. We house the most graduate students in our college and it’s been a hassle to maintain . But this program was able to help us identify what was holding students up (Thesis). After this we made changes to our requirements and also implemented a milestone tracker which has help every single student.

I have no cons so far. Everything has been great on my end.

I like the user interface of Ellucian! It's easily navigable and very functional in every way. I work in Education and Ellucian is really helpful when inputting various forms of information into the system. It's quick and easy to use with every click you make.

I wish the keyboard shortcuts for Ellucian were easy to find.
