Avaliações do Ellucian

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.

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.

Ellucian has made it easy to consolidate all of our educational needs and resources, from billing to grades, in one easy to navigate space. Students are able to find what they need with ease.

It is beginning to look a little dated in comparison to other sites in general, but as a tool for higher ed it is still fully functional and acceptable.

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.

The software has many different modules and the last version of software released helped out with a more intuitive interface.

We use Banner part of Ellucian. It is effective to get large amounts of information into the system. It is effective is being our online filing cabinet.

The program is very difficult to use, to navigate through. It is impossible to use on mobile, literally impossible.

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.

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 keeps all of our student databases, it integrates with our LMS so grades can be transferred without having to be manually typed.

The clunky look. It seriously needs to be updated to a modern, easier to use interface.

I like that it is reliable and secure yet it allows me to save my password to log on. Some sites are so secure they do not allow it and it makes it frustrating to sign in and out multiple times.

There are times when the system is down due to maintenance. That is only because my university will perform updates at times.

Ellucian’s Banner Student has the basic student records functions included. It will force higher ed administrators to change their business processes to fit the software.

I did not like the tool set (queries, printing, data loads) that come with the product.

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.

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.

This product provides a learning management system which makes the jobs easier for students and the professors. Students can easly check their duties and see their activities on this system and professors can easily manage their classes easily.

If there are a lot of students dont buy this software, during the peak times it makes lots of bottleneck and managing the problem is not that easy always some problem appears if some administrative user did something wrong. The money you pay and the service you have dont compensate each other

Contains a lot of integrated and complex data. From Human Resources, Student Records and Services, Payroll, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable all in one softward

so NOT intuitive or user friendly. We have to have a whole IT department just overseeing the functionality of this software. Users are frustrated in each area - Payroll, Accounts Payables, Student Services... no one seems to feel the software was created for their unique purposes. We keep trying to find the department that loves it...

Great suite for information storage and processing.

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

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.

Very functional and customizable to your school. We get the opportunity to let the company know what we want in the software and they usually update to meet the various schools needs. Very aware of all federal guidelines and requirements.

Training for use of the module or processes would be nice when something new is implemented. Several screens and options are usually available with short descriptions.

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.

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.

The Colleague Self-Service Faculty view offers rosters, midterm and final grade entry. Our faculty are so impressed with this new functionality they would fight to keep from losing it.

Ellucian is difficult to get to respond to issues. I have been working with the Ellucian Cloud testing and it has taken months to accomplish what should have taken days.

the support for Ellucian is awesome. It took a while to learn how to use Colleague but once I learned my area, it was very useful.

it's not intuitive. I wish there was a training that new employees could go to in their area to learn about the Colleague product to help understand how the change I make affects others.

It did pull several systems together under one umbrella

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

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.

This is a great tool for recruiting. It can send out emails and invites to different events. It can keep track and store records, it has great potential.

We were promised that this tool would streamline the admissions process and make it so that our school would only need to have one application. This was a promise that this program could not and has not been able to keep.
