Overall Satisfaction with Banner Student

We use Banner Student to track all student data and use a staging table to connect active student data with EMS (event management systems) to activate and deactivate students at the university.
  • Collect student data
  • Provides a detailed record of each inquiry
  • Ease of access for end-users when you know the codes
  • Learning the codes can be cumbersome
  • There is no auto spelling and grammar check in the free text field. For example, there is no auto spelling and grammar check between “&" and "and” so searches can be a headache.
  • The GUI can use some improvements for ease of use
  • We have been using Banner Student for many many years so the historical data is awesome
  • Being able to run the appropriate reports has been invaluable
  • Allowing end users to learn and know the system allows them to effectively use their time
Being able to have the historical data, as I said I said before, is the huge Benefit that we have from using the system. All of the teams involved are well trained and no alternative has proven worth making the switch.
Event Management Framework, Blackbaud Education Management Solutions (formerly Blackbaud K–12 ON Solutions), Workday Human Capital Management
It is well Integrated with the other online systems we use but that is also a downfall for any users that don't use systems such as EMS, Blackboard, or Workday.
