    Ethos Integration is a work in progress. Some API's are still not available under this framework. However, it has the advantage of being an abstraction layer on top of the database, supports the publish-subscribe model. Since some Banner 9 modules still do not support the direct SAML2 connection, Ethos Identity (EIS Server) is a necessity for SSO.

    Overall it is well suited to a mid size Enviromint with a limited staff. If you have a limited amount of time you can dedicate to solutions then having one that is by default already included in the system and can be managed well then it makes for fast integration with low overhead

    Cons
    Ellucian
    • Operational reporting: This does not replace or provide an easy platform for operational reports or warehousing. It would be nice if they provided a full stack.
    • Learning curve: Training and documentation are minimal.

    • The subscription model (cost) could be revamped for perpetual licensing options

    Usability

    Part of our issues could be from the original set up, but also because the system does not allow flexibility.

    most features are pretty point and click simple. Some areas that are move detailed require some specialized training and knowledge to be able to navigate and get anything useful out of it. With some basic understanding you can gather tremendous amounts of data and have it available

    Support Rating

    Support from Ellucian for Ethos Integration was generally good. The help in building Ethos was adequate, and resolving issues were handled professionally. However, for Ethos Identity module, the support in building the cluster failover architecture was lacking. After over a month of open engagement, the issue still has not been resolved.

    We have not used any other product similar to this, but for us, it made sense that the first product we tried was made by the company who developed our ERP system because they know the system inside/out. Solutions made by other companies that only look into documentation does not mean they would be able to create a product that could do such integration well.

    EMS integrates directly with Office 365. It offers multiple desired features in one product/subscription. It's difficult to do a 1:1 comparison between each product. OneLogin's pre-sales support was terrible and implementation was complex. Barracuda offers great email protection but hard to justify the cost when EMS can just be added on to existing Office 365 accounts and brings additional benefit in SSO, etc.

    Return on Investment
    Ellucian
    • Our ROI is nonexistent at this time as we are still implementing. However, the minimal cost signifies that it will be a significant help.
