Also the pages are much easier to access. > > **Cons**: I don't like how the software times you out after a certain period. With Banner 8 I could stay in it all day without having to log back in. But with Banner 9, my session times out. ----- ### "Banner" — 4.0/5 > **Gabrielle** | *October 6, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a lot of different features, which is nice, but we don't really know how to use them because the interface isn't intuitive. > > **Cons**: It's hard to know what you are doing, and it's very easy to make a mistake that could do a fair bit of damage. > > Banner is really difficult to use. Especially if you don't receive formal training, it isn't intuitive like some softwares. We really struggle each time we need to do something in Banner, and we have written instructions for everything in case we forget a step. ----- ### "As a user can be frustrating" — 3.0/5 > **Jacqui** | *January 17, 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a person who uses this for work, only as a user (not an administrator) it is nice to have everything in one place and all info is presented clearly and as is. Sometimes you do need to take a few minutes or a few steps to get what you need, but its all there. > > **Cons**: Transitioning from the last version to the latest has been cumbersome and challenging. Also, knowing the shortcuts for all forms can be like learning a new language. > > Overall I can't picture doing my job without Banner Finance, however, it can be a source of frustration too. But in the end it really is a powerful tool if you know how to use it. ----- ### "Banner Finance - Higher Education Focus" — 4.0/5 > **Justin** | *September 30, 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Banner Finance forms allow users to export into excel, which makes research easy. The vast array of available forms provide almost any data across the organization. The form search features are excellent as well\! > > **Cons**: The Banner 9 integration seems to make transitioning between forms sluggish. > > Banner Finance allows our AP team to pull vendor data quickly and to export that information for closer review. Vendor management is a huge selling point for this software\! ----- ### "Expensive and old-fashioned" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *June 21, 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: One thing you can say about Banner Finance is that it is complete. It can handle whatever a university throws at it. > > **Cons**: The interface is still forms-based, just like in the 1970s. There is a newer web-based interface, but it is just a webified version of the old forms. It could have been much better, but they are married to 50-year-old paradigms. > > It is a complete solution for a university management system. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2059953/ellucian-banner-finance?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2059953/ellucian-banner-finance) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
