Because we use other Blackbaud products, it integrates well with the post-EMS part once students have enrolled. The sales team is very responsive. The knowledgebase can help you figure out a lot when how to do something is unclear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? The #1 reason families did not complete the admissions process was because of the admissions checklist and EMS. Visually, it looks very dated. Families do not know where they are in the enrollment process, and the system does not communicate their progress with them so we do it manually. Events registration/forms include many mandatory hurdles that cannot be removed to make it simpler or nicer looking. We have to make up for the confusion and look through direct communication outside of Blackbaud EMS. It is clunky, there is a surprising amount of manual work for such a big system. Reporting is very inconsistent, everything from the checklist to the forms is built in certain ways that generally make the user experience more difficult, and cannot be customized to work differently or to be simplified. Support is not easy to get at all, usually you are stuck with a chatbot. Maintenance is high, many things would break due to a setting here or there over time and need to be revisited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blackbaud Enrollment Management System solving and how is that benefiting you? Blackbaud EMS is managing our admissions process. The benefit of it is that because we are using Blackbaud LMS, everyone transfers over once students are enrolled and we keep that data from admissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blackbaud EMS streamlines the administative tasks that the Admissions team has to do. It gives hours back each day to them to connect with prospective families on a personal level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? Remembering how to enter data to ensure it shows up in the right spot. If I add the decision one way, then the checklist item does not show as complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have the rest of the Blackbaud K-12 Education suite, the Enrollment Management tool is very helpful. It's one database that all your school constituents become a part of from day 1, when they show interest in your school and inquire about the application process. Once they create an account via the Enrollment Management tools, it is easy to mark them as a candidate, interviewed, reviewed, fees paid, waitlisted, accepted, denied, etc. These same constituents would then feed through to the learning management system in Blackbaud, or you'd be able to export them out as well. It does make it fairly easy to create forms and checklists for all applicants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? Because it is part of the Blackbaud K-12 Education suite, it's of course most helpful if you have the other Blackbaud products. If you don't have the other products, it can be a bit of maneuvering to get your data out into the way you'd like it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blackbaud Enrollment Management System solving and how is that benefiting you?

Blackbaud is pretty all encompassing when it comes to enrollment management. For the most part, it satisfies all of our needs. There are some things that are less than desirable, but you are going to find that with any other company. The support is always extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? Obviously, I wish they were capabilities. It had that it does not, but we always find workarounds. I really do not have many negative things to say. Overall, I'm very happy with the system and how the company strives to make updates and improvements frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blackbaud Enrollment Management System solving and how is that benefiting you? They've solved almost all of our problems and any that we were needing solved, they have made updates and improvements. As long as I stay patient, usually they come up with a solution within a year to a year and a half if not a lot quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Enrollment Management helps to keep a clean fresh look at where the school is in the enrollment process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? We would like the ability to allow admin access to Blackbaud users in Enrollment Management, but restrict their access to any students they may be related to.

Great to have one login to access student and parent information for enrolled students, with options to loop in interested students and streamline registation for new students. Customer service is generally friendly and very interested in resolving issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? Not intuitive and documentation is usually to general. Our organization has asked for a flow chart to help with data clean up and streamlining of our processes (which are slightly different as a community organization than a school) and with tracking the metrics most imporant to us, but we have yet to get one. Frustrating to have limited access to enter tickets for issues that come up outside of standard customer service hours or issues that we've been advised to enter tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blackbaud Enrollment Management System solving and how is that benefiting you? As a choir, we need to capture a wider variety of information than is standard for students, and BB-EMS allows us to do this in a relatively efficient manner. We also rely on being able to export data from both the Event and School Form/Student Checklist processes in order to generate follow-up and metrics on our retention/sucess rates.

Appreciate the seamless integration into Tuition Management. We can enroll our families smoothly which is helpful with the large volume of students our institution enrolls. We also like the ability to customize our contracts and assign different contracts to certain students. Customer support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System? Some HTML bugs that we sometimes need assistance with cleaning up. I would be great if the payment plan initially selected could later be updated if a family updates their payment plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blackbaud Enrollment Management System solving and how is that benefiting you? I just saw that the payment plan types could be better explained to our parents. That is a frequently asked question by our families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic ## Questions about Blackbaud Enrollment Management System?
