Bunchball Nitro vs. Salesforce.org Education Cloud

Well suited for devs that are very amateur level and an Enterprise that doesn't have the budget for a lot of custom software. This tool makes that way easier of a process and cost.

It is most suited for those within the education industry. For students and staff in particular, the Education Cloud allows seamless connectivity between each person and helps students stay on task. It can be very overwhelming as a student to have so many responsibilities in different areas, so Salesforce does a great job of offering many features that ease this process.

• It enables the end-user to develop, manage and optimize game mechanics.
• Salesforce and other integrations make it really easy and convenient to add to your technology stack.
• The software supports notifications, social shares and leaderboards and users have complete control over all activities that are created while using a number of game templates.

• Great use of integrating across all aspects of enrollment.

• It’s hard to run reports or create working “views” for Enrollment/Student Advisor teams that include both Leads and Contacts in the same report.
• Some fields do not map from Lead to Contact object. When a student transitions from application to acceptance, some dropdown and fill-in fields completely disappear from the student’s page in Salesforce. Every version of Salesforce I’ve used has this problem.
• Salesforce overall is clunky and confusing for the average user. We require thorough Salesforce training for new hires on all teams because it’s not user-friendly or obvious what to click on to achieve a specific task.

People will respond on time even though Salesforce is such a large organization. This also includes various methods of getting support beyond just calling - they have dedicated reps, chat, chatter, etc that all make the experience more pleasant.

I think Bunchball just has a cleaner interface which makes it more appealing to the end user and has a great team supporting the product that does a great job in advocating and demoing the product

I have not used similar products and I am new to this role. Salesforce has been very easy to learn and I appreciate the support and ability to access the platform when I need to. I was able to easily learn the program and become skilled in what I needed to do. It also made the transition to digital forms quite easy

• Positive return on investment as I feel like it has really helped me get a better view of my sales performance.
• The reporting is very clean and easy to read.
• The wide variety of gamification is great to give you control over all activities.

• Positive: Our entire company is more aligned because while still complying with FERPA, the right people have access to student records while also having the correct permissions.
• Positive: we can integrate with our partners who also use Salesforce, while still complying with FERPA.
• Negative: we've needed to hire a Salesforce Development team with multiple people to accurately customize the tool to work for us.
