Pros
"I like that all of the student information is in one place."

More Ellucian Pros →

"It has a lot of integrity of data, and it is fast. All the users feel that they can trust this data. So, data integrity is the most important value of SAP.""Its integration is most valuable.""The stability and performance are good.""SAP is a very process controlled application. It does not allow users to manage the data. Once the initial process is set, it works smoothly.""The most significant elements of this solution are the ability to create a virtual product, a service product, and delivery.""The power of ABAP Development Tools is the main valuable feature in the SAP ECC system. Every couple of years SAP upgrades ABAP technology significantly, which facilitates developers' work.""ERP is very stable.""The implementation is very straightforward."

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

More Ellucian Cons →

"Poor ergonomics.""The solution's UI could be better.""The product can be a little slow when dealing with thousands of employee data.""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.""SAP ERP could improve by having better integration with other platforms.""Though SAP ERP's FICO module is a strong part of the product, its integration capabilities can be made stronger.""It is not flexible for the users. SAP works in a specific way, and the users and the processes have to adapt to the way it works. It is hard to customize it to the level that we need for our work. It is not easy to get new extensions for process functions, modules, or activities.""SAP needs to be more intuitive."
