It has a better UX and UI than Moodle and it also has a more professional approach in terms of business educational programs than Google Classroom. For us, it has been really important the ability to analyze the courses at a high level and also being able to let the students …

Ultimately Canvas was much more focused on the learning environment and not the management of the database to utilize for sales and marketing. Once we realized the differences in the product, features and cost side we decided to roll with SFDC as a much more optimal solution …

Salesforce for Higher Education is the best option out there for managing student accounts. Other programs used are in the dark ages comparatively and this is a great way to engage in a more modern way.

Salesforce for Higher Ed is great against other CRMs that are just charging on a flat rate. This means you only pay for who uses the product which can be much cheaper. Salesforce is the industry standard for CRM's so you have that going for you and you can easily reach out to …

I would say it's suited for a higher ED or K through 12 use case. If you're tracking anyone who is a learner, I would say it's still applicable for non-degree learning experiences. So even if you don't have a four year degree granting institution, but if you're not doing education, that's probably where I would say it's not really for you. Right. There's other products, other verticals like nonprofit cloud or financial services cloud you'd want to look at.

Cons
Salesforce
  • I think the display of the cloud for students can seem a bit intimidating at first.
  • I do not know the depth in which some features could offer more, but organization is the most important in displaying the information for the user.
  • Other than the visual aspect I think Salesforce does an amazing job! I'd like to see this used more widely.

People will respond on time even though Salesforce is such a large organization. This also includes various methods of getting support beyond just calling - they have dedicated reps, chat, chatter, etc that all make the experience more pleasant.

Return on Investment
Salesforce
  • Positive: Our entire company is more aligned because while still complying with FERPA, the right people have access to student records while also having the correct permissions.
  • Positive: we can integrate with our partners who also use Salesforce, while still complying with FERPA.
  • Negative: we've needed to hire a Salesforce Development team with multiple people to accurately customize the tool to work for us.
