# Which SSPR tool are schools and universities actually running at scale?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Looking at the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/self-service-password-reset-sspr-tools">Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) Tools</a> category for a K-12/higher-ed use case, thousands of student and staff accounts, enrollment spikes, and an IT team way too small for the ticket volume. Here's what education reviewers seem to actually use:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/nim/reviews"><strong>NIM</strong></a> — a big chunk of its reviews come from K-12 districts, with people calling out smooth onboarding and support during migrations.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/portalguard/reviews"><strong>PortalGuard</strong></a> — heavily used in higher ed; reviewers like that it's whitelabeled and holds up under thousands of daily SSO logins.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sailpoint/reviews"><strong>SailPoint</strong></a> — shows up more for large university systems needing governance across dozens of connected apps, though it's pricier and takes real setup time.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If you're running SSPR for a district or university, which one held up once real student volume hit?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Enrollment spikes would be the test I’d care about most. An SSPR tool can look reliable during normal usage and still create a help-desk surge when thousands of students activate or recover accounts at once. I’d want reference data from a comparable district or university showing reset volume, completion rates, and support tickets during the first few weeks of term.&lt;/p&gt;
