Ellucian Human Capital Management Reviews & Product Details

It is easy to use. Filling out screens are no complicated on what you need to enter and where ETAX, STPS, EDDP. The batch stipends is a new feature that will help our processes. The banking info through Self Service is a very nice feature so employees can enter in their own info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is not the best. We have to use Informer or now Argos that we are on SAAS. Alot of manual changes though. It would be nice to scan tax forms in and have the system read them. We would like to move away from Kronos for timekeeping but we need time clocks and have employe not be able to alter their own and request time off and scheduling. Last I looked into this they did not have all the things we needed but it would be great to sue one product for everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use data entry wise. I think the information is easy to read in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not the best standard reports. We have our IT department create a lot of reports in Informer. Some of the processes and workflows seem clunky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a big ol' system with lots of capacity for all the data we could ever want to store/archive. Running simple .csv exports is easy enough once you know the pages you need to find and the sometimes inconsistent coding required to input parameters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so big and overbearing that most of the platform is empty. For whatever reason, much of our data isn't automated so lots of updates require hand entry, which often means it just doesn't get input to Banner, which means it's not available to end-users like me. Reporting, though simple enough on the front end, requires a whole f/t person, so updating my own reports on the fly isn't possible. It's always a ticket to request support. Banner also can be buggy. There is a perpetual issue among every colleague I know (who are Chrome users, which are most all of us) where logging in will always throw an error saying to log in again. But that doesn't work. You just have to press the "return to previous page" button and try logging in a couple of times. Other times you get a 500 Error with no explanation. But basically you've got to clear all your cookies. Now, you could clear your entire cache, but if you don't want to do that, you've got to look for specific cookies under at least three different names. Basically, banner is either really buggy or our IT team hasn't implemented it properly (but I doubt that because they're very good). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is simple to use. There are many available codes and customization tools in it. I like that many departments in my organization can use the same system. It is a good place to store data. I think it is very useful when we are running our payroll. It is simple to use and easy to train others on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get notices that it is not connected to the server. It can also run very slowly sometimes. I wish it could be easier to make reports from colleague information. I think our IT department has a hard time creating reports from the information on Colleague, but I think it is nice that they have that option to create reports.

Banner is a great tool for the broad spectrum of uses and applications and easy to navigate once you've been using for a little while. Time sheets are the biggest thing our department uses them for and it has been a great tool since switching from paper forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be really picky and sometimes hard to navigate. The system also does not have a 'notification' option for when time sheets are turned in, returned/rejected, or completed/approved; that would be REALLY beneficial. Looking at our budget is easy but deciphering what is what is challenging. There are too many lines for one item and it gets confusing and hard to track bottom line.

I like the versatility there seems to be with this software.. there are many areas of employee records that can be managed with this system, including HR, Payroll, Finance, and more. It has a lot of options for a company for managing systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the learning curve. It takes a lot of training to become proficient. That is not to say that a system of this caliber should not, but it is not user friendly or particularly attractive from a customer-facing standpoint. It can look outdated because of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use, especially for HR information. It's great to have all of my HR information to view and to edit right at my finger tips. Also great for finding campus information and other forms I may need for personnel issues and for cross-campus collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't find the interface to be particularly user friendly when looking up large amounts of information for prospects in advancement work. It would be easier to use if all information was together on one screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How it stores and views the inactive and active biographical data of the constituents. My office logs into Business Objects, a reporting system, that pulls information from Banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not speak to other programs, i.e Advance or SalesforceCRM, so we are finding that either our HR department (Banner) or most of the University (Advance and/or crm) have conflicting data. I'm not high enough up the chain to know if that is just how it is, or if there is a workaround. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having a single database that can be used by HR, Student Affairs, Accounts Receivable, etc. As someone who has duties that involve all of these areas it saves me time and fewer passwords to memorize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could do a simple search of the entire database, although I understand why this would be a difficult or problematic feature to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Banner is not really that easy for me to navigate. It’s possibky because I don’t use it daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It actually is very confusing to use aspects of Banner. I would like to be able to print directly from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
