I think they really kept in mind the end users experience when utilizing the ERP system. > > **Cons**: There’s not much that I did not like about the system, I love the fact that it integrated so many integral parts of the system that allows you to operate within one system to manage multiple areas. > > I love the system, It has been utilized within my office and also in various departments within our university and it has been extremely useful for various items including institutional research integrations. ----- ### "Decent, but like use improvement." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 25, 2020* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ellucian has a lot of different capabilities and options for multiple departments to use. I like that all offices across campus can see the same information for students once it is updated by another user. It’s a one stop shop for those who work at the university, instead of each department using their own software system. > > **Cons**: Very complicated codes to search for pages, it takes a long time to memorize them and the training for ellucian wasn’t the greatest. We struggled to get questions answered in a timely manner or correctly. > > I think it could be a great software for higher education/universities. However, there are flaws and it’s not the most user friendly. ----- ### "Used to be better" — 3.0/5 > **Andrew** | *September 7, 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: When the financial aid module is working it does a pretty good job of what we need it to. > > **Cons**: Now that we are in 'the cloud' customer service has taken a nosedive and it takes forever to updates installed. > > 5-8 years ago Ellucian was a solid product and worked great but since being forced to move to the cloud the quality just isn't the same. Part of this could be all of the changes the Department of Education has implemented over the past couple of years and in that regard Ellucian is doing a good job of adapting. ----- ### "Ellucians" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 10, 2019* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Since this uses Oracle and SQL, I like having the ability to write reports for assistance in extracting data from the data tables we use. > > **Cons**: The software has many different modules and the last version of software released helped out with a more intuitive interface. > > The ability to update our Customer Relationship Management system with exported data-sets. ----- ### "Banner is a fantastic data management tool." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 22, 2018* | Higher Education Software > > **Pros**: It's a rock-solid application that you can count on. That in and of itself is a huge deal. It works, has minimal bugs, and is the backbone of how we manage our data. When other applications are having a problem or we have a data integrity question, we often say "What is it in Banner?" because we know it will be correct there. > > **Cons**: It can be a little scary at first to new users, which I can speak to from experience. But the new interface is definitely helping with that. I would also love to see Ellucian develop a proper higher-education CRM tool. We had to go with another vendor because we needed something more comprehensive than what Banner could offer (Application Reviewing, Events Management, etc). I think Ellucian is missing out on a huge financial opportunity and could take a massive chunk out of the Higher Ed CRM market if they were to develop one. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/120559/ellucian?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/120559/ellucian) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
