Chose Encompass from ICE Mortgage Technology
Is Calyx Point even a thing anymore? I recall using Calyx Point years ago but don't remember it being able to do half of what Encompass is capable of doing. Encompass alone being able to communicate to 3rd party systems is a major time saver something Point was never able to …
Datatrac and Byte Pro, are solid LOS systems. I have also work on many proprietary systems, and all have been superior to Encompass. Encompass needs to be retired from the instrusty as a whole. There are long standing issues with major outages/crashing. If a mortgage lender is …

Mavent was the tipping point for us. We wanted a compliance tool in the system.

Chose Encompass from ICE Mortgage Technology
Calyx is antiquated in comparison; the customized nature of Encompass sets it worlds apart from other LOS providers.
I initially considered other origination software but decided on Encompass because of the other lenders in my area that are also using it, and because it has so many built-in exports.

Chose Encompass from ICE Mortgage Technology
There are a few other LOS options but most are simple POS systems rather than an all-inclusive loan system. Competitors include: BlackKnight, LendingQB, CalyxPoint and MortgageBot LOS.
I am a long time user of Calyx software. I have loved using Calyx for most of my career. Early on, I did experience Encompass once and I felt it was too "management centric" at the time. After coming back to it now, I realize that my original feelings were more about …
There is no comparision. Point can not do even a fraction of what Encompass can. Their user interface is convoluted and hard to use and doesn't have any way to upload documents into the loan file. Encompass allows documents to be loaded straight to the loan file which makes …
Overall Ellie Mae is a more complete all in one software if you have time to learn it or money to spend to get it setup initially. Once you get past that point I believe the annual cost will be much cheaper than the other leading loan origination software company. If you are …
Most MLOs are familiar with Encompass. This makes recruiting easier. Hiring administrators is easier than other LOS. The fact that Encompass is used so widely helps you find better employees to customize the LOS as well as fully utilize it. Even without the SDK the screen …
I have not been on Calyx since going to Ellie Mae in 2010/2011, but Ellie Mae's technology was far superior than it at that time. The e-sign abilities and the pipeline organization was fantastic. I felt like Encompass was the loan system that was most able to adapt to …
Ellie Mae comes with the highest recommendations. I admire them for their creative work and their willingness to "give to their partners first". I did myself a favor and aligned myself with them.

Chose Encompass from ICE Mortgage Technology
I've used Calyx and other bank proprietary systems in the past. I'd never want to build or be with a bank who was building their own system. It's just too hard. With Ellie Mae's investment into the technology and compliance, a proprietary system is bound to have more …
Over the years I've used Genesis, Loan Contour, Calyx Point, and various proprietary. Hands down...Encompass is by far the easiest to navigate (especially for the Production Division), highly efficient, and very easy on the eyes.

The system is great for loan origination and downline processing. The thing about Encompass is that it's only as good as its user so I can see where new loan originators or folks who are new to the system can have a huge disadvantage over somebody who is experienced with it. Of course, if you have experience with it it's the perfect tool. Compliance is also a big factor that Encompass does take advantage of. It communicates with various 3rd parties like Blend, appraisal management systems, Loanbeam, etc to help gather data where needed and keep files in compliance as needed. I don't know of any other case use for Encompass outside of loan origination.

The Web Center allows us to compete in our market and also allows us to continue to originate loans in markets where we don't have a physical originator.
The software is easy to use so it allows us to train staff very quickly so they can start producing mortgages.
I appreciate receiving information on upcoming updates well before they take place so that I can review the updates and inform the staff of changes they need to be aware of.

Encompass is a powerful tool that is flexible and can be set up to meet your business needs. However, a guide of best practices in designing a workflow process would be a huge resource.
A feature that would be helpful is the ability to easily create pop up boxes that could allow users to identify errors in data being entered in to fields and direct them to a solution to easily correct the error.

I am a long time user of Calyx software. I have loved using Calyx for most of my career. Early on, I did experience Encompass once and I felt it was too "management centric" at the time. After coming back to it now, I realize that my original feelings were more about distrust of my own management than the software itself.

Ellie Mae prepared itself well for TRID. We have been able to manage all of the changes using the configurable workflow to help all users understand the nuances of TRID.
We have gone paperless saving us time in transporting files between users and allowing us to reduce time to close.
Electronic signature of documents has allowed us to reach more borrowers.
