For example, the Multi Language capabilities, Calendar, Access and User Permissions, Communication Modules, Fee and Tuition Set up as well as the Semester Set up, among many other features were instrumental in going with Orbund. What's more, all the variables regarding setting up Courses/Classes proved to be extremely useful because we have certain Departments that have required courses/classes in order to advance to the next Level etc... Lastly, Instructors love to use the Grading feature and their Live course/class outline as well as the abundant of interaction they can have with students through Orbund. Oh, I forgot - Orbund is completely Mac compatible\! > > **Cons**: The only con I would have is to make the Financial Module more user friendly. However, with the recent updates, the Financial Module is much, much better than before. > > Overall I would strongly recommend Orbund, without reservation, to Bible Colleges, Bible Institutes, as well as Universities and Colleges who are on a budget regarding their Web-Based SIS/CMS System. What a difference this software has made for the staff, instructors, and students @ the Palmer Institute\! We can't live without this software now, especially because it is simply the best on the market. ----- ### "ORBUND Educational Management Tool Review" — 5.0/5 > **Edney** | *17 October 2013* > > From launch to implementation ORBUND has proven to be an excellent educational management tool Although in the beginning there was a glitch in setting up administrative and teacher training sessions, those issues were quickly resolved by a responsive and capable support staff. As an administrator I immediately was sold on ORBUND- after the initial training sessions with teachers it was an easy task to sell ORBUND to them. The idea of having teacher records including report cards and transcripts, assignment grades, attendance, disciplinary actions, contact information and sending messages to parents and students then be able to store these on a server is a powerful tool. It has made my job immensely easy. Having a repository feature sets up a structure where future administrators can access important documents that are readily available. ORBUND is not a system where you can learn everything about the program in one session - the more you use it the better you become at navigating its dashboard and the more useful you see its potentials. The real value with ORBUND is the customer service feature. I can only speak for my experiences as a sub-Administrator (Principal)who use the system on a daily basis- when mistakes are made by teachers and myself help from ORBUND's technical people is there to guide and assist at every turn. I give ORBND five stars without reservations. ----- ### "Not what I expected" — 2.0/5 > **Rachelle** | *9 July 2014* > > I've had a lot of concerns with this product. Customer service is not available in the evening EST time so Distance Learning students have difficulty getting help. The product is simple to use. The processes are confusing and long. The permissions in the system are limited and do not allow for multiple roles on single sign on. Financials are weak. Requiring you to touch every student account. ----- ### "Beyond Expectations" — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *19 March 2011* > > **Pros**: This is our fourth year of using this system and I have no complaints. Why? - It is customer friendly - Easy to use - Very simple yet extremely effective system - Meets our needs - It has features that meet the needs of all of our departments (Registration and Records, Admissions, Finance, Students, Lecturers, Library) - Has features for online assessments - Exceptional service and support > > **Cons**: The only drawback is that we did not find this system earlier. > > This is a system that is worth investing in. I say so because it is more than just a system; it is like a relationship. The support that is given is exceptional. What is unique about this system is that it is tailored to meet our needs and the technicians have not just designed a system without flexibility. We are allowed to make suggestions, express our needs and see the system designed to meet these needs. It is a very reliable and dependable system. Our staff and students repeatedly express satisfaction with the system. I have no reservation in recommending this system. ----- ### "Superb Software System" — 5.0/5 > **Gina** | *10 April 2013* > > **Pros**: -easy to navigate -time-saver -accuracy -professional and friendly support team > > **Cons**: None to list. > > Our institution began using Orbund two years ago. This software is a great tool for managing our academic and enrollment records. Because the system is so easy to navigate, it has personally saved hours of my time (in the role of registrar) finalizing a day's work that were once lost to our former database. Hours\!\! I am still amazed at how quickly I can wrap up a process in Orbund that used to take much, much longer in our old software. We found the Orbund team to be both professional and accommodating from the start, and our relationship with this team continues to thrive. Over the last two years, they have made adjustments to better suit the specific needs of our institution. With every little tweak in Orbund, I am only convinced more of its ease and effectiveness. I would highly recommend this system. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/144772/orbund?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/144772/orbund) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
