Salesboom vs. Slate for Admissions

Make sure you give them a good idea about your sales process and discuss with them how your data will be imported.

I would recommend Slate, by Technolutions for any higher education institution, big or small. Though there is a higher cost associated with Slate than most other options, it's well worth the price. The level of detail that you're able to gather, maintain, and query on within your student data is far beyond anything I've experienced with other systems. These insights help you pinpoint areas for action and improvement so that you can pivot when necessary, helping you reach your enrollment goals quicker and more efficiently.

We have a dedicated account manager and support. Whenever we need help we get it.

While I do wish they had actual representatives that we able to come to you for trainings for implementation and new users, I understand that a big draw is the money that is saved by instead investing in knowledgebase, which is it's online tutorials for different functions of Slate.

Salesboom worked with us from day one before purchasing our requirements. Once we rolled out the CRM implementation, their customer support is very helpful. The system is very user friendly, feature rich and the prices are very competitive.

Another Important advantage for Salesboom.com CRM is that they have a service level agreement, with an up time guarantee.

We had been on Recruitment Plus- it has been sunsetted, so we were forced to move. I also looked at Fire Engine Red. Slate seemed far and away the most robust CRM/Admissions solution.

• We aren't really a business, per se, but a nonprofit university. However, Slate[, by Technolutions] does allow us to easily sort applications into categories for different departments to review. And it provides a clear trail of who is looking at various documents when--and how long it takes to process them.
