Better integration with Jenzabar ONE, improved access to information, more flexible than before, and steady improvements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Make it more user friendly and add more automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Student and Faculty Portals that are easily navigated. Accurate record keeping. Customizable by Jenzabar or, with appropriate technical skill, locally as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to find something positive as an administrator. Very cumbersome tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administration of the app is not intuitive. Permissions are extremely difficult to manage and change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How user-friendly Sonis is to use. I wasn't familiar with Sonis before starting this job. Sonis is very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing at this point. I don't have any complaints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it is a good comprehensive tool for a student information system. It is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has been easy for students to learn to use as well as new employees. It requires a short learning curve to start using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
