Major SIS player, but lousy support

What do you like best? Running Banner on Red Hat Linux & Oracle RDBMS means we have a good software stack. What do you dislike? The Ellucian support is poor, and the big version 9 roll-out has been a slow-motion wave of unhappiness (due to late delivery and poor performance. Recommendations to others considering the product Run it on Linux, not Windows, and move to Tomcat from WebLogic as soon as possible. Work with a third-party consultant.

Very Lingo Driven, But Solid Software

What do you like best? Once you get the hang of it, the system is consistent and I have yet to encounter any bugs What do you dislike?

Some room for integration imporvement

What do you like best? The overall functionality and versatility, the product is quite easy to navigate and master. The look of BannerWeb is much simpler, much cleaner. This is perhaps my favorite aspect of Ellusian SIS. What do you dislike? Improvement in seamless integration is needed. It remains a bit unclear how the product works with BannweWeb, for instance. Each update creates problems, and the patches do not seem to work well. the future of the company seems uncertain, as they ...

"Used at Yale University for Student Information Systems"

What do you like best about Ellucian SIS? I most like how easy it is for me to check grades on SIS, along with seeing how far along I am in my degree and distributional requirements. The ability for me to see my progress is just great! What do you dislike about Ellucian SIS? I strongly dislike the UI. It seems like a lot of parts of SIS are redundant, and it seems super outdated, as if the platform was built for an interface from 2005. Recommendations to others considering Ellucian ...
