    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.

    YetiForceCRM is warmly recommended for any enterprise with the need for a solid, reliable CRM system without the typical high costs attached. It is not suitable for companies without a strong IT support due to its server requirements and lack of documentation that requires experimentation to some extent. A cloud-based system would be more suitable in this scenario.

    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.

    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.

    The two reasons we have decided towards YetiForceCRM were its price (free) and the customization options (almost unlimited). The other CRM systems come with a price tag but still have many features left out. On the other hand, YetiForceCRM gives us the option of custom modules resulting in full control of our data and workflows.

    Technolutions
    • 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.
