Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce.org Education Cloud

We consult with clients on their CRM needs and implement Salesforce EDA if it is a good fit for their needs. Other options may include the other nonprofit offerings from Salesforce (formerly Salesforce.org).
  • Extensibility - Implement your custom needs in the database.
  • Scalability - Your database grows with your student/alumni population.
  • Integration - Integrate with your SIS via many middleware.
  • Reporting - All of Salesforce's reporting capabilities.
  • Reports - Comes with no out of the box reports.
  • OOB functionality may be limited - important to have folks with experience customizing EDA to an organization's needs.
  • Upfront cost - Implementation services (either a hired team or consultants) is imperative to make it work.
  • Single view of all student data.
  • Custom reporting.
  • Unusual operational needs implemented in the same tool via Salesforce capabilities.

Well suited for larger or mid-sized institutions willing to invest to have all of their student services needs to be fulfilled by a single platform. It would be less appropriate for non-traditional universities i.e. smaller schools, or nonprofits that have education/curriculum but also have other programs/fundraising, etc. since it may not be positive ROI for them, or the nonprofit solutions might be more valuable for them.
