The product keeps improving where I think things are already good, and is quick to address current issues.

It was a difficult system for me to learn and I couldn't find much training material for it. The reports you can run are basic and need a lot of manipulation to do any analytics.

The functionality and communication to our CMS does not work well. The implementation also took much longer than expected.

After this we made changes to our requirements and also implemented a milestone tracker which has help every single student.

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.

The company itself is the worst. Their customer service is abysmal.

Integration with other products can be very glitchy at times. It takes someone with serious knowledge to be able to navigate that process.

Visually appealing and the user interface is easy to use and navigate through tabs. A nice face lift from the older interface.

I would never recommend this service to my worst enemy. Don't walk away from Ellucian, RUN.

Difficult to use | Difficult to maintain | Expensive | Releases are poorly tested by Ellucian QA.

We struggled to get questions answered in a timely manner or correctly.

I guess the only good thing I can say about this software is that it works (kind of) most of the time.

The money you pay and the service you have dont compensate each other.

The navigation shortcuts and codes were difficult to get accustomed to. Some lack of consistency.

Cost: is more costly than some of its competitors. Deployment of newer products to end users could be smoother.

It is awesome to use for allowing students to track degree progress. It is simple for them to log on & see what is still needed.

This product is for higher education institutions. Ellucian is behind many competitors in this space however, it has realized this and  is making positive changes in the right places.

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.

The community that is always ready to help each other. You can reach out to hundreds of users and get answers.

My workplace uses Ellucian's Banner 9 for a Learning Management System. It's great to use codes to view different records.

The one problem we run into with Ellucian is that training to use the product is difficult. Many screens have specific acronyms to access them, which is hard for people to remember.

As professional in tech I decided to enroll in some part time college classes for enrichment and I was appalled at the software system both schools had for students.

Ellucian powers institutions with technology and services to help students like me to achieve these goals.

A mess of a company and a patchwork of modules.

I love how it has most College Institutes available you can sign into your see your classes you are registered for how much you owe and order your your books from it.

Software patches and updates from Ellucian are notorious for breaking various modules, connections between modules, etc.

This software is one of the most useful software that I have gone though. It helps me a lot in finding scholarship oppartunities.

Data is stored un-uniformly in 'shotgun' style in the database making migration away from banner very difficult. There is no dashboard -- the entire user interface is a very weak showing.

I think it could be a great software for higher education/universities. However, there are flaws and it’s not the most user friendly.

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.

Integration through Ellucian XE. Active user community on Ellucian's eCommunities social media platform.

It has very secure and solid database which is essential for the above mentioned matters.

We use Banner and eRecruit CRM. We expected the CRM/ERP integration to be the best selling point when choosing the CRM application.

The System is very flexible and covers our needs. The vendor works like a partner, and the support is excellent.

Great product with outstanding customer support.

Best rated Textile ERP solution for your investment.

From the start to finish, it was a great experience to work with Mickey and Andrew. They listened to our concerns and needs and did their best to give us what we were looking for.

This is a very easy computer system to understand and work with everyday, with great quality customer service.

Excellent product, excellent support. Polygon support team always ready to help with any new complicated business system requirements.

We are impressed by how responsive the team is to individual needs and their willingness to customize modules as necessary. The system is well-thought-out and executed.

I used the software for a brief moment. I generally don't do this line of work but was needed and used this program and everything came out super good.

Wonderful owner of the company who is very knowledgeable of his product. Has a positive attitude and is very helpful.

Because of the nature of this business, the amount of data across multiple sources was immense and caused lags in the software.

Response from users has been great. The ease of use, the ability to extract and analyze data is something everyone appreciates.

Look at all MRP software for the apparel industry. We found PolyPM to be the best in cost, quality, and customer support.

We have an all around integrated solution that covers all areas of the product lifecycle. It is a true central repository of all our data.

You can limit or restrict users to only access what is necessary. Also, with this system, you can always be sure that the vendor will find a way to do what you need.

The software is simple to use. Inventory control is outstanding; we've been able to reduced our on-hand inventory.

They custom-tailored many tasks and reports for us which has made it very easy for us to get answers quickly and efficiently. We love the ease of use of this software.

The developer of this product is always easily accessible and available when you need him to help. The Inventory Management integrated with work orders is a great way of keeping track of everything.

It's an intuitive product that is very easy to use. They have great customer service.

It is great not use excell anymore, schedule on organized platform is very useful.

In the Apparel Industries, it has been very helpful to control inventories of raw materials, finished products and visualize the workflow of the pieces to make. Excellent tool to manage production.
