Ellucian
It is great and collecting information and keeping it all in one place. But once you go outside of their scope it requires a lot of outside programming that quickly adds up. It's hard to find a good, reliable developer for this software so once you do find one you hang on to them. There is a very steep learning curve, but I would suspect that for any new CRM that you bring on

  • The forms that we create for the website would be nice to have more control over the look and feel

  • I feel it is not the best value for money option.
  • In my opinion, despite the integrations being great tools, they haven't been perfected.

It is about right on par with the marketing stuff that Salesforce had. If you want to use it for email marketing it's only good for very simply designed email campaigns. But the scheduling of these campaigns is pretty painless and does a very good job. It has combined many other software packages that we were using into one place which is nice, but if you need to go outside the box of how they have things set up it will cost you a lot to do some custom development.

Return on Investment
Ellucian
  • It has turned out to be much more expensive to get what we want than we thought
  • There is a lot of customizing for our institution so the dollar cost will not be seen anytime soon
  • It has helped bring everything into one place, but that has taken many hours of training for a lot of our staff just to get up to speed.

  • Greater visibility of the data that is available and must be managed.
