What Users Love About the App

“The product is expanded though periodic updates; which add loads of extra features or improvements. The product is always being improved.”

“You can choose to host yourself, or have it hosted by SONIS. We have done both, but are now a hosted customer. Highly recommend going this route, all updates are installed for you. Well worth the extra cost!”

“I would certainly recommend SONISWeb to a small to medium sized college looking for a wide variety of student and course management tools. Great value for the money.”

“We love being able to access the database from anywhere we have Internet access. Our students like being able to go online and access their accounts for class schedules, transcripts, etc.”

“So much easier to use than our legacy system! The reports that are already built are very useful for our needs, and we are pleased with the ability to create our own reports as well.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“We are struggling a little bit in using SonisWeb with our Community Ed/Continuing Ed type courses. When we do registrations it is difficult to determine which section is which because the dates are not shown on the registration screen.”

“SonisWeb allows both sections and sessions to be assigned to courses to help identify the time frame they are being offered, but we are finding neither feature is giving us as much flexibility as we need for enrollment.”

“This platform has a UI and design that’s straight out of the ’90s. Accessing grades requires knowledge of a completely unintuitive process that requires clicking on a tiny red dot in an unexpected place.”

“There are just a few paths that are circuitous in terms of how to get to certain data or reports. Some of those paths are not necessarily intuitive and take some getting used to.”

“During data conversion, some fields listed as optional really should be made mandatory or at least highly recommended. The query builder function could use more flexibility.”
