"Review of Banner Finance "
4/5
What do you like best about Elllucian Finance?

I like using Banner Finance to know how much money we have in our budget for purchasing items within our budget. It is very easy to navigate and toggle through the application. I like how there is a search tool for when you need to find a certain screen, you can find it by typing in a key term. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elllucian Finance?

I dislike that one must tab through the requisition screen to move along or can utilize the mouse feature with the up arrow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Banner 9 Cons"
4/5
What do you like best about Elllucian Finance?

Banner 9 Finance screens are easier to view and navigate. The help screens allow you to do more than in Banner 8. However, it takes longer to complete simple tasks because the shortcuts available in Banner and did not carry over to Banner 9. Although, I do enjoy using the MyBanner feature and navigating in different screens and coming back to the same screen without loosing or having to save information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elllucian Finance?

I truly miss the shortcuts from Banner 8, which did not carry over to Banner 9; therefore, it takes longer to complete simple tasks. Once you hit enter to save the information the program redirects you to the beginning page and you have to enter into the previous screen; therefore, tasks take longer to complete. I also, dislike getting timed out in the middle of a students record; however, this issue seems to currently be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Banner program "
4/5
What do you like best about Elllucian Finance?

I like how well the program is organized and split in sections for different departments, some work with students other work with budget and finance like me.

I enjoy the fact that this is very speedy process, and that sometimes if I need to go someplace quickly I just type in or chose the section that I want to go to. I like what I can see in it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elllucian Finance?

I don't like that sometimes we must type many different letters to make a word that doesn't make sense to us. I also don't like that sometimes I can not pick up from where I left but must start all over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ellucian Banner in Academia"
3/5
What do you like best about Elllucian Finance?

Straightforward budget queries. Banner 9 offers some new features that we will be rolling out shortly such as stored history and spend tracking. This increases its functionality over simply providing a snapshot of my budget situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Elllucian Finance?

The interface, at least as it is implemented at our organization, is lackluster and basic. This could mean that Ellucian is putting more effort into the backend functionality than the GUI, but it would be nice to have a more polished user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
