We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like that all of the student information is in one place."

More Ellucian Pros →

"It is an integrated application, and it has been working really well. Earlier, there were different companies for different applications for manufacturing, finance controlling, logistics, and quality. It probably was the first fully integrated application. Whenever somebody is entering any data, for example, invoice data or ordering data, everyone with a right to see this data can see it in the system.""The initial setup was straightforward.""The stability and performance are good.""The most valuable feature of SAP ERP is the integration. It can be seamlessly integrated across the board.""It integrates everything into one process.""Good customization features.""Overall the solution is very good in the industry.""It has been quite stable so far."

Cons
"The functionality for monitoring satisfactory academic progress has room for improvement."

More Ellucian Cons →

"It was not designed to service all industries.""Technical support is an area that is in need of improvement.""Though SAP ERP's FICO module is a strong part of the product, its integration capabilities can be made stronger.""I always prefer using an S/4HANA system.""The reporting could be improved, such as the casework, production, and activity reports. Our consultants in a subsidiary enterprise have requested that we develop a new production report. They could also improve production, financial, and HR analysis.""The initial setup is complex.""SAP is more expensive than some of its competitors.""I would like to see more integration with other partners. Some of our customers already use specific or in-house applications for their business processes. They do not want to replace those applications."
