Ellucian Colleague offers exceptional value for the money compared to the pricier options in Blackbaud's suite of products. Ellucian Colleague stacks up well against Blackbaud and other CRMs in terms of its value for the money, ease of use, and customer service. Overall, …

Chose Ellucian Colleague
While Ellucian Colleague does not provide the suite of resources of a Blackbaud model CRM, it still provides excellent value as a student CRM for the university. Ultimately, the university selected Ellucian Colleague as the CRM of choice due to its ease of use with our data and …

Banner & PeopleSoft are using the very expensive Oracle DB - while they all have very similar features. Currently, another solution provider is available - WorkDay: but they are still very new that they do not have all the necessary Federal and State Reports. Their …

Ellucian Colleague remains the most cost competitive solution for our organization. Alternative solutions, have had ridiculously high migration costs and ongoing maintenance fees which have not been friendly toward a migration of our existing data. Some the features of the …

Ellucian Colleague has been in use at my institution for over 20 years. We have recently reevaluated the solution and, from a financial perspective, it was our decision to stick with it for the future as well. We have realigned our budget working with Ellucian and partnering …

We originally started on Jenzabar Cars platform and then evaluated PeopleSoft and SCT Banner. Colleague won out on cost compared to PeopleSoft and features over Banner. We noticed that PeopleSoft had a better technical underpinning with a greater integration with workflow.

Chose Ellucian Colleague
Colleague Student is much more user-friendly in my opinion for both back-end users like myself and for our students. We have found that our students who were here in our transition to Colleague Student raved about how much easier this system was to use for registration and …

Workday's cloud based system has more flexibility than Colleague Student. While it seems Ellucian is responding with developmental efforts, the company waited too long to begin the process.

Best way to keep all student data in one place and seeing how information is being kept consisted. Overall, it is helpful for us advisors to be able to keep track of things that our files wouldn't be able to note since there is a lot of information on there, including …

I did not use Jenzabar as extensively as Colleague, but they perform similar functions for student information tracking. I think Colleague is more appropriate for use across campus, as its student billing and scheduling options exceed Jenzabar. Jenzabar, however, offers better …

Chose Ellucian Colleague
We were previously on PowerCampus for 10 years before migrating to Colleague. We had just outgrown the capabilities of PowerCampus and needed a more integrated product that we didn't need to bolt on other applications. CampusManagement's product wasn't ready for production at …

Ellucian Colleague is wonderful at streamlining processes and unifying data related to students, finance, human resources, and financial aid. It continues to support and manage administrative needs, enhance student experiences, and improve operational efficiency across the University. Ellucian Colleague is less suited for quick data retrieval and comprehensive financial reporting. These functions could use some improvement to optimize the user experience.
Colleague Student allows us to integrate services across the university for students with staff in various departments able to see the information about a student that they need to serve the student well.
Colleague Student makes it easy to see our students current academic record as well as transfer courses (and information) and their past records here at the university. Our old system required a lot of homegrown connection points to be able to see all of this information. It was neither quick nor easy.
Colleague Student makes the registration process for our students much easier. Our old system was clunky and would often prevent students from registering for a class but not provide information for them about why. Colleague Student makes it easy for students to see if they are missing a pre-requisite, have a hold, etc., so they can know how to get their registration back on track.

Develop API's that are vendor agnostic rather than selecting specific vendors (Clearinghouse, ImageNow).
Colleague tends to be to reactionary to the changing needs in higher education rather than developing the future.
Hound clients to pay extra for consulting (consultants are usually bad), rather than helping institutions to use the product. Seems to be the first thing help line personnel jump to rather than working with clients to figure out creative solutions.

For decades, Ellucian Colleague has served the University as our primary student record-retention CRM. Its functionality has weathered many recent trends in CRM development and continues to produce the needed results for our constituency and the size of our university. We look forward to continuing to utilize Ellucian Colleague in the future.

I did not use Jenzabar as extensively as Colleague, but they perform similar functions for student information tracking. I think Colleague is more appropriate for use across campus, as its student billing and scheduling options exceed Jenzabar. Jenzabar, however, offers better tools for use exclusively in student affairs. If an organization wants to track all student data, they should consider Colleague.

By keeping student's academic work, financial aid, and accounts receivable information in one location we are able to report without the need for data aggregation.
Colleague's web applications allow the students themselves to perform tasks such as enrollment without assistance from staff members.
Using customized rules that we can set up in Colleague we can trigger events to happen as data is entered. This eliminates the need not only for someone to remember to perform an additional task, but it also saves the time of performing the actual task.
