Jenzabar is unwilling to work with other companies to integrate information across multiple platforms.
The quality of JICS is contingent upon appropriate use and entry by those on campus. While not a limitation to JICS itself, there seems to be more problems with JICS in this regard than I have noticed on other campuses with other platforms.
JICS is typically behind on the times. Features it adds today were commonplace for others much earlier.

Usability

ABB Ability Solution Suite 10.0

Based on 1 answer

One of the best solutions in the market with a user-friendly system. This is very useful when the ABB system (Like we had 800xA) is there, new or existing; all the ABB systems can be integrated using this rather than going to a 3rd party vendor, which may have interface problems.

Jenzabar Internet Campus Solution (JICS) is very usable and easy to maintain. With us having students log in with their AD credentials, they don't have to remember an extra username and password. Also, I have been able to update and customize some of the coding, which has allowed us to make sure the site works just the way we want it to.

ABB Ability Solution Suite 10.0

Based on 1 answer

Good support in terms of quality and promptness. When we had problems with some of the commands not getting executed, their online support also provided a good solution to solve the problem. Even mission-critical task we were able to solve during this Pandemic time. The suggestion is to go for the online support 1st in the future, followed by a visit.

Support is generally very helpful. There are some support staff that really try to go the extra mile and help with solving the problem you have, not just answering your initial question. If you don't understand a feature that is offered in the Jenzabar Internet Campus Solution (JICS) environment, they also have a portal with on-demand webinars/courses that you can watch to get a better idea of offerings at your own base.

Alternatives Considered

Better suited for the ABB System as Microsoft is a third party for ABB Control System.

We selected JICS many years ago as it was a cost-effective option that was streamlined and straight-forward. Today, no one is ever thrilled with their SIS, and I can anticipate major difficulties if we attempted to move from JICS. However, from a features and revolutionary standpoint, I do feel we will always be a step behind if we continue with Jenzabar.

Jenzabar has allowed us to house all data in one system, which was badly needed.
Jenzabar allows us to speak one language across campus, although many offices still work outside of Jenzabar due to limitations within JICS.
Jenzabar has not been effective in being a leader in new features or developments. I always feel like we are a step behind.
