# What are the best education HR platforms for higher education faculty tracking across teaching, research, service, and accreditation reporting?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been researching which <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/education-hr">education hr software</a> actually handles faculty tracking across teaching, research, service, and accreditation, since most tools in this category are built for K-12 attendance and payroll instead. <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/watermark-watermark-faculty-success/reviews"><strong>Watermark Faculty Success</strong></a> is the clear top pick for this specific job, and it shows in the Grid data too: it's the only Leader in the category with a satisfaction score in the 90s. Here's how the relevant platforms stack up:</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true"></p><ol>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/watermark-watermark-faculty-success/reviews"><strong>Watermark Faculty Success</strong></a> (4/5, 80 reviews): purpose-built for faculty activity reporting; reviewers cite one-time data entry feeding annual review, accreditation, and strategic-planning reports, with a reviewer base split fairly evenly across mid-market and enterprise-size institutions.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/jenzabar-one/reviews"><strong>Jenzabar One</strong></a> (4/5, 55 reviews): strong campus-wide HRIS/SIS, with 80% of its reviewers coming from mid-market-size institutions, but reviews don't mention accreditation or annual-review reporting.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/neogov-talent-management-suite/reviews"><strong>NEOGOV Talent Management Suite</strong></a> (4.3/5, 84 reviews): solid for hiring and HR workflow, not faculty-activity tracking, and most of its review base skews government/public-sector rather than higher ed.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/ellucian-human-capital-management/reviews"><strong>Ellucian Human Capital Management</strong></a> (2.8/5, 14 reviews): general HRIS with a weaker satisfaction record; reviewers flag reporting as IT-dependent rather than self-serve.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-higher-education-cloud/reviews"><strong>Oracle Higher Education Cloud</strong></a> (4/5, 14 reviews): thin, dated review base with no faculty-role reviewers in the data I could find, so I'd treat it as a wildcard rather than a confirmed fit.</li>

&lt;p&gt;Oh this is a pretty specific niche, and honestly most general education HR tools don&#39;t really cover it. The one that keeps coming up for exactly this (teaching, research, service, plus accreditation) is Watermark Faculty Success. From what I&#39;ve read, its whole pitch is being a central hub where faculty enter activity once and the institution pulls reports for annual reviews and accreditation to bodies like AACSB or HLC. To be real though, people say the first-year historical data entry is a slog and the interface isn&#39;t the most intuitive. What accreditor are you reporting to? That tends to decide fit here.&lt;/p&gt;
