Pros
Great Interface and features that were desperately needed for the Palmer Institute. 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
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.

- Has features for online assessments

Cons
The only drawback is that we did not find this system earlier.
Overall
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.
