<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>: best known for a genuinely faculty-friendly layout; one instructional associate professor called it "extremely user friendly" and "highly intuitive," and another described the layout as quick to navigate in just a few clicks. That said, a deputy provost separately flagged the interface as cluttered for first-timers, so how much does that gap matter at your institution once faculty are past the first login?</li>

Is that a gap other admins are filling too, or is it more the exception than the rule?</li>

&lt;p&gt;To be honest, this is the weak spot for the faculty-activity tools, so worth going in clear-eyed. Watermark Faculty Success does get some reviewers saying the screens are laid out sensibly and it beats what they used before, but plenty also call it clunky and not the most intuitive for first-time users, with training sessions helping adoption. If your priority is a genuinely low-friction HR interface for staff, NEOGOV reviewers more consistently describe it as intuitive and easy, though heads up, that&#39;s for recruiting and HR lifecycle stuff, not faculty activity or accreditation. Which matters more to you, faculty self-service on activity data, or general HR ease?&lt;/p&gt;
