## Reviews

### "Game Changer for our Institution" — 4.0/5

> **Justin** | *15 April 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a great tool and one that has revolutionized our experieince as an institution - moving from antiquated methods to operating at light speed.
> 
> **Cons**: The implementation and particularly the "train the trainer" model which just doesn't fit our instituton given our small size and limited resources.
> 
> Overall, it's been pleasant. There have been some hiccups, but nothing so severe that we have come to regret the decision/investment.

### "Old but modern tool." — 4.0/5

> **Richard** | *23 June 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The product has existed for alo g time and i.proved over time. It's very stable and has nost of the functionality we need.
> 
> **Cons**: The product has changed directions multiple times (frameworks) through the years, so  many times we had to change our own direction to follow.
> 
> Ellcian has been in  my working environment for the last 15 years. The learning curve was not too steep. Does a lot of t&#10;What we need.

-----

### "It does what it's supposed to" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *29 August 2019* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ellucian allows us to build a functional interface for students and faculty alike.
> 
> **Cons**: 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.

-----

### "Mixed Reviews" — 4.0/5

> **Cyrus** | *14 December 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Offers a variety of different software solutions that integrates with its ERP (Banner or Colleague). Along with a variety of ancillary applications that integrate with the ERP.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost would be by far the biggest issue. The second would be that as of late the company has a tendency to tout its upcoming or just released products will work but in reality it is being built and developed as the sales people speak. To be fair their established software generally works well and no complaints.
> 
> They are an established Higher Education software that is on the cutting edge with a lot of what they offer. The partnerships they offer with vendors seems to fall short in some cases. The support they offer for the products is generally good. But depending on the application may depend on how quickly they respond to support questions/issues.

### "Ellucian for Community College" — 4.0/5

> **Neisha** | *14 November 2018* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked how you can add features, customize it for the needs of the institution. I work for a small college and we don't need all the extra features that the larger colleges might  implement.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be a little difficult to navigate for the beginner.  Unless the user  knows what they want there is a chance of getting lost. Ive been using the software for about 4 years now and i sometimes get lost or have to search for specific information.  There is no menu with a list of options. So I guess what I'm saying is that it would be nice if it was more user friendly,  easier to navigate.
> 
> In the beginning I had to constantly keep my list of instructions handy if I wanted to enter a requisition for a purchase order, now its easy because I've done so many. Practice makes perfect\!\!\!\!
