Banner & PeopleSoft are using the very expensive Oracle DB - while they all have very similar features. Currently, another solution provider is available - WorkDay: but they are still very new that they do not have all the necessary Federal and State Reports. Their FInancial Aid is lacking too.

Best Student ERP System in the market today (price to value). Other solutions are not financially feasible due to the Database price, licensing fee, support, and maintenance. The staff know-how in Database administration is also another factor to consider in choosing the ERP system. Colleague is using the Unidata database - very affordable and very easy to maintain.
