OrbisGIS

What do you like best?

The ease with which the system can be used

What do you dislike?

The system does not allow for customization. It is difficult to add any new fields as seeing updates to OrbisGIS can take time. Also we had issues with the data upload to Orbis that caused some major issues to our information. We also had duplications of accounts in the database.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would ensure that any fields you require for the database are either already part of the database or can be customized. In addition, it is best to ensure that any information you are uploading to Orbis is correctly uploaded each night, as we had issues with this situation. The updates to Orbis is slow and it can take some time to see improvements to the database.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Able to use system to house student data in one place. The database allowed us to use the system to collect and gather information on our co-op success rates in order to validate our programs.
