## Jenzabar SONIS Reviews
  ### 1. Sonis is a Cost-Effective Student Information System

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Better integration with Jenzabar ONE, improved access to information, more flexible than before, and steady improvements

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Make it more user friendly and add more automation

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Jenzabar SONIS solves the problem of having housing and student information spread across different systems or tracked manually. Instead of relying on spreadsheets or paperwork, everything is organized in one place, which makes it easier to find information quickly and keep records accurate.

Because of this, our day-to-day work is more efficient. Tasks like managing housing assignments, tracking student information, and handling changes can be done faster and with fewer errors. It also reduces training time for staff since the system is easy to learn. Overall, Jenzabar SONIS saves time, improves organization, and helps us focus more on supporting students instead of dealing with administrative issues.

  ### 2. We've used Jenzabar SONIS for about 7 years and it serves our purposes at a reasonable cost.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris E. | Vice President Academic, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Student and Faculty Portals that are easily navigated. Accurate record keeping. Customizable by Jenzabar or, with appropriate technical skill, locally as well.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

There are too many similar categories of settings that make it hard to find the right setting and some settings require multiple setting changes instead of having them all in one place.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As an online educational institution, we need an online Student Information System. However, as a small institution we also need one that is reasonable in cost and has customizability.

  ### 3. Sonis is a robust SIS with full campus department integration to handle all your needs in one place.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dwight E. | Technical Support, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I like how much can be done using the software. It allows you to handle financials, registrar matters, housing, financial aid, it has alumni portals, job postings and employer access. The list could go on. To put it in its simplest form I like Sonis' versatility. It allows us as a small institution to be able to focus on just one software and have everything integrated in a way that easily streamlines processes. Sonis is allowing us to move away from some of our other software and migrate the information to Sonis for greater simplicity and accessibility.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

The only downside really that I have with Sonis is regarding its aesthetics. It's not the most visually appealing software and to me, this can be a slight hindrance to user engagement. If it were a more visually appealing software I believe it would be one of the most sought after student information systems around.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

I would recommend Sonis to any institution. It can legitimately do all you require it to do as an educational institution.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sonis has allowed us to move away from excel spreadsheets for everything. This institution evolved from a small training college to an accredited institution offering multiple degree programs. The data storage and processes governing our functions needed to improve. Our staff was and still is limited but need to meet the demands of our growing population. Having Sonis be the amazing data house that it is with the ability to pull all kinds of reports for whatever we need is extremely helpful. Though not previously used, we are even coming to see benefits in utilizing Sonis' onboard financial capabilities for our accounting department. Also, we want to set up credit card processing to tap into even more of the features of Sonis. We recognized that there were some other aspects of the institution that were running independently and needed support. So the credit card processing will help us to migrate those functions to Sonis.

  ### 4. Not an administrator friendly application

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

It is difficult to find something positive as an administrator.  Very cumbersome tool.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Administration of the app is not intuitive.  Permissions are extremely difficult to manage and change.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sonis is our SIS, it meets the basic needs, but the management of the app is a challenge.

  ### 5. Sonis experience

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

How user-friendly Sonis is to use. I wasn't familiar with Sonis before starting this job. Sonis is very easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Nothing at this point. I don't have any complaints.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I can search for people and their information very easily.

  ### 6. Jenzabar was a true partner in building out SONIS

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

SONIS is a modern, web-based SIS that makes it very easy for digital natives to pick up and use right out of the box. Working with Jenzabar as a true thought partner was one of the most rewarding contracting experiences I have had.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

The financial aid platform can be extremely robust, but it did require a separate license and wasn't an expected add-on. Some of the documentation on how to do the configurations wasn't as clear as it could have been.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our old SIS company went bankrupt and we needed to get off of their platform. What we didn't realize at the time was how great going with a web-based SIS would be and how it would allow us to automate so much more of our work.

  ### 7. PTS Sonis Review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I think it is a good comprehensive tool for a student information system. It is easy to use.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I wish there was the ability to customize more within the system without having to submit a request to support and, usually, pay for the customization.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to manage our student body easily with Sonis. We use it to assist with student retention. We have automated several processes that use to be done manually saving much time for the staff.

  ### 8. Looked at SONIS for a Technology Development Center

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

When I worked at the Southwest Virginia Technology Development Center, we looked at SONIS for Student Registration and Data on Students for future classes, and I liked the online aspect of it.  It would have allowed us to centralize a registration system for our courses, which were not traditional "college" classes, but more like continuing education and adult learning classes in technology.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Mostly the pricing and cost of implementation.  We only had maybe 50 to 75 classes a year in different areas, and for the price, it was just too costly to afford.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We ended up looking at a competitor of Jenzabar. Before we could implement it and sign a contract for it, we learned that the Russell County Virginia Board of Supervisors had not extended our contract to run the center.  So, taking an extended look at products was good and kept us from spending money we didn't need to speed.

  ### 9. Jenzabar SONIS Fits Us

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Randy R. | VP for Finance & Operations / CFO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 16, 2021

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

It has been easy for students to learn to use as well as new employees.  It requires a short learning curve to start using.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

It is not an accounting system, so data has to be exported and then imported to a different system.  It has weaknesses regarding Development-related functions.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

A good tool for smaller institutions.  It allows the school to better communicate necessary information, online registering, etc.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

A good value for a school our size (small), and is more than adequate in handling many of the student data issues like attendance, grades, course registration, billing, financial aid, 1098T, etc.

  ### 10. Responsive to Customer Needs

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Angela V. | Registrar and Data Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

SonisWeb provides a strong, on-line student records database.  It has many features that allow us to maintain contact with potential students and monitor their application process.  The developers are very responsive to the changing needs of the users and consistently add/modify features to address those needs. 

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

There are so many features to this product but I have not seen good documentation about how the designers anticipated the software would be used.  Sometimes we develop a process only to discover that to get the full benefit of the software we should have done certain steps in a different order.  As a small technical college we have similar needs to larger two or four year colleges but also have some very unique needs.  At the time we made the switch to SonisWeb we found many features of the product that did not work well for us.  As more schools similar to ours have become clients, SonisWeb has become much better at meeting those unique needs.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

Look carefully at the features and analyze how you will utilize SONISWEB to fit your processes.  Take the time to figure out what, if any, customizations might be necessary and budget the money to have those done as part of the implementation process.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Maintaining contact with prospective students.  Student records management.  Reporting.

  ### 11. SONISWEB Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I like how I can add students contact information easily. I also like how grades can be posted within the system as well. 

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I dislike how it is difficult to access student applications. We are hoping to have students apply through SONIS eventually. 

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are trying to solve how to use the application portion of this. We would like students to be able to access their application through SONIS.

  ### 12. I use it.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I like the fact that we can schedule and  registration

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I do not like the gradebook, attendance, data entry

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

try it. they just got bought out by another company so many things might be changing

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

none

  ### 13. Makes communication with students easy

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura S. | Instructor, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 29, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I like the ability to easily email an entire class. I like how easy it is to enter grades and that students have such easy access to their attendance and grades. 

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I dislike how time consuming it can be to change the status of a student's attendance. It isn't just a simple rewrite for me but I have delete the initial information entered and then add the new information. 

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

It doesn't take much training to get used to using Sonis. A quick review of the product features is usually all that is needed. 

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Email has been a big advantage and students having access to their attendance is a huge advantage in my classes. End of term grades are very easy to enter and make it easy for the students to access their GPA and grade information. 

  ### 14. Faculty interaction with Sonisweb

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jody K. | Medical Instructor, Information Technology and Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Sonisweb is easy to use. It allows one to view rosters and attendance totals easily.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

The process to make corrections from the previous day is tedious. Having to delete the incorrect entry and then add the correct one is time-consuming, especially if it is for more than one student.  Also, after entering attendance for the day, it is difficult to see if it was entered--or if one forgot to press "submit".  The screen should change to a statement saying you have entered the attendance correctly. The only alert is if you submit it twice.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has made the daily record-keeping tasks more efficient.

  ### 15. student information system review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I like that it's fairly user friendly in terms of the information for each student being accessible on that student's page. I also like that the forms can be linked and therefore downloadable for whoever needs them. 

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I don't know if this is Sonis or how it's set up at our college, but I wish I could search for categories of students rather than only by name. We need to add a category so that with that feature I could always access the information for all students in that category!

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

I have found this system for organizing student information to be invaluable. 

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is used to track all students and their status, plus their associated signed forms and emergency information. It is invaluable to keeping things running smoothly! 

  ### 16. Very satisfied so far

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

SonisWeb is very user friendly and easy to navigate.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

As a user, I would like to be able to create custom reports.  I would also like to see more search options.  One of my biggest frustrations is there are certain times when you cannot select multiple terms of data at one time.  I guess I am just a fan of a more relational data base where I can link from one set of data to another  and make smaller sets of the data to work with to drill down into the detail.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

I would recommend seeing the software in action.  There are many ways this software can help and improve workflow processes.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has made tracking receivables a lot easier for me.

  ### 17. Utilitarian and efficient 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alison T. | Student Life Coordinator for Community Engagement, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I use SonisWeb primarily to document incidents in on-campus housing. The input fields are clean and allow me to separate my thoughts clearly when inputting reports. The editing process is also fairly easy.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

The incident output is very sloppy - you do such meticulous work on the input, but the output runs together in one big string.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

In my use in Residence Life (in Student Affairs), it is easy to use and keeps everything in one space. Certainly not the worst product to use.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are keeping all of our incidents in one central location, which is essential for updates and follow-ups. It is a great database when dealing with repeat offenders and looking at the bigger picture.

  ### 18. use in the health center

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Celena R. | Office Manger, Total Health Center, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

that it can easily be catered to what my needs are, information can be added or deleted with ease for clearer imputing of information, especially when I need to add medications to the general list or when I need to add a diagnosis for a health record.   

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

that sometimes there is too much information, but i think that is due to other folks not updating or deleting info from the past, maybe... don't have enough experience with the data base yet to know if there is yearly updates, clearing old info out after a certain amount of time??/

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

having a central data base to access info is great, especially when paper files need to be second guessed

  ### 19. Nimble and satisfying

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Julie R. | Registrar and Assistant Dean of Institutional Research, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

This is an intuitive to use system that covers all the bases.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I wish users could create reports. All of ours have to be created by our programming staff.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

This is a great solution for small schools; much easier to use than big ticket programs!

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am the college registrar and institutional researcher. I keep the students and faculty on track, and the system allows me to do that. 

  ### 20. Eleven year user

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Harry F. | Associate Professor of Business Administration, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

In general Sonisweb is a useful data management system for our small college.  Our college has fewer than 800 students.  

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I would like to be able to "click and sort" in some places.  It would be nice if it were easier to make all students' academic information available to all faculty.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

Carefully compare features and value when making a software decision.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are managing data for student enrollment and the like.

  ### 21. Faculty user - obtain rosters, post syllabi, enter grades, etc.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

It's pretty intuitive - the icons are easily recognizable and it's simple to update information for my classes, and email all my students in a particular class.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

I really don't like the gradebook - I use Excel instead. It's hard to tailor the gradebook to my courses.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

Does a good job in keeping course information current and accessible

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This is not applicable to me.

  ### 22. Sonis has been a definite "win" for us!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amy H. | Campus Director, Education Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Sonis is very user friendly.  Ease of use in navigating the system is great!  Layouts, options, etc. are very easy to follow and make sense.  Reports are very good.  Option for Excel or PDF is nice.  Query options allow for additional "custom" reporting/statistics.  The student portal is a great feature!

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Some default settings and a few limitations.  Career Services/Graduate Employment reporting options could be enhanced.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sonis has worked very well for us.   Sonis has allowed us to easily manage data over several campuses.   Sonis has improved our communication and tracking system greatly.  The team at Sonis was able to work with us specifically to ensure that the system is working to meet our needs.  From my perspective, Sonis is a definite plus for us!  

  ### 23. Good overall, I enjpy using it

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James B. | Student Life Coordinator for Student Recreation, Higher Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Good features, good reliability and function

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

The layout, I have to adjust my browsers view, purely ascetic, 

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

Simply just look through it and really figure out whee everything is.  That is key once you have the layout down to just realize all that it can do for you.

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Incidents, good follow up has come from using sonis

  ### 24. information on housing incident reports from student life staff

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Like I said above I use Sonis mainly to retrieve incident reports. what I like most is that the writer/designer of the report can decide who gets the reports and that  I am notified when a report comes in by e mail.

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Honestly I have not used it  enough to find things I dislike about it.  

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use the product to disseminate confidential information. and to decide who gets what information. the product has added a layer of stabilization (like a policy or procedure) as we are now wedded to a single system .

  ### 25. Mostly fine

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2015

**What do you like best about Jenzabar SONIS?**

Some of the reporting functions have been relatively easy to use. It integrated with my old fundraising database which made checking for discrepancies easy. 

**What do you dislike about Jenzabar SONIS?**

It is not completely intuitive and there's a relatively steep learning curve for using it. Reporting doesn't cleanly export into excel for easy sorting, which can be a hassle. Some of the editing functions could be easier as well.

**Recommendations to others considering Jenzabar SONIS:**

None

**What problems is Jenzabar SONIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's a useful system in the way that databases are useful once you get used to them. Complete integration with all our other systems would be ideal.

Talk to someone who has used it before committing.

The degree audit function is my favorite.  Registration works fairly well.

I think there are a lot of things you can do with SonisWeb; however, no one was properly trained.

It's not very user friendly in terms of creating different types of reports regarding prospectives, current students, or alumni.
