    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

    It seems almost limitless of the apps that you can add. If there is a website for something, you should be able to add it. You are even able to add custom apps that are not in their list of pre-made apps you can add. So I am able to add all the apps and custom apps that I need for doing my jobs. I don't think Rambox would be very useful for people that don't log into web apps often using a web browser. I use this app mostly because I have so many web logins and it makes it easy to manage in one app, instead of logging into several websites.

    Cons
    Ellucian
    • We don't necessarily think that what the sales team promised us has been delivered. There are some features we thought we'd have that require hours of outside programming
    • The forms that we create for the website would be nice to have more control over the look and feel
    • Creating nice looking emails in ellucian is very cumbersome. It's definitely a far cry from a drag and drop like mail chimp or delivra

    Rambox
    • Sometimes the loading can be slow if you have many apps enabled and starting at first run
    • Icon's help me find what I need. It would be nice to have an easier way to upload from like a gallery that Rambox hosts rather than to have to find your own off the web.
    • I wish you could make folders or something within the workspaces for more organization

    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.

    Rambox
    There was one other one that I tried and I honestly don't remember the name. Rambox beat it by far... One reason, I was able to get a lifetime license (Which they have deals for that I think once a year, so keep your eyes open for it), and the other app I tried was a subscription. I really did not want another subscription. Another reason, the other app was not able to do as much as far as custom apps and the loading was much faster with Rambox.

    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.

    Rambox
    • Rambox has saved me time on not having to dig up website URL's and login credentials for quick access to sites when I need to use them. saves time and money in the long run.
    • Being able to install on a different device and have everything sync also saves me time and money.
    • Rambox allows you to organize all your apps in different work spaces so I can have several but go the workspace of apps that I need for special use cases. Saves me time to not have to remember which web apps I need for a certain job. Saves me a bunch of time and money.
