    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.

    1. It helps automate your marketing campaigns - send emails, does automated follow-up, creates leads directly into the CRM
    2. Helps you track the performance of your marketing campaign
    3. Its a cost-effective tool
    4. Their integration with salesforce and Hubspot is missing, will require you to do it manually
    5. Their email editor is quite basic with many must-have designing features missing

    It's incredibly usable and easy to figure out. It's modern and does exactly what we need for it to do

    1. Has a lot of scope for improvement in terms of email editor and lead management
    2. Out-of-the-box reporting features should also be made available
    3. Should provide integration with other software
    4. The user experience could be improved
    5. The tool can be made a little faster to operate
    6. Workflows, land page, and form options can be improved

    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.

    The customer support team is active and reverts promptly to support requirements. However, most of the requirements takes a lot of time to get fixed.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    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.

    • We just started using the tool. So far we are using it for initial purpose but looking at the platform it looks pretty good.
