Starfish Reviews & Product Details

Great way to stay in touch with college students for a proactive approach to their education. Positive praise and helpful points for consideration are included in the software's main processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is not mobile-friendly, and the visual aspects of the software do not look updated whatsoever. It has a lot of Ala Carte items, making one school's experience different than another's. The interface is a little clunky to use. It does take a particular learning curve to learn the software and then implement it correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starfish Success was implemented 2 months ago. 60% of our faculty are using it and we have a higher response rate from our students. Since there is a text options for students to set up we are getting the information to the students early Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to go through a lot of steps to get texting set up. Each student basically has to discover it themselves. Wish it was more obvious you can set this up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up schedule calendars is easy, and being able to examine and edit appointments directly, as well as message clients directly, is a big plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to fully customize appointments. Optimally, I should be able to implement surveys within the appointment process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starfish allows students to make their own appointments with me without emailing back and forth. I can share notes about what was discussed and others who teach and advise the student can access these as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is great, though it would be good to have a designated faculty champion within each department to encourage uptake and ensure success of the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a number of options for faculty and staff to personalize content for individual students. Whether they need help academically, socially, psychologically, or otherwise. These options make it great to directly connect students to the most appropriate resource. The ability to connect a student's entire "network" is also a plus, keeping everyone connected to the student in the loop regarding their progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starfish as a software platform is slow and cumbersome. Load times are almost unbearable. The interface is not intuitive at all. The scheduling and calendar features are tedious. Overall, the software doesn't integrate well with any of our other campus LMS systems. So it requires having several windows open at once, updating information across all platforms.

I love how easy it is to use Starfish to track the needs and warning sings of students in our higher education institution. Starfish tracks information and manages all of our information on students. It also makes it super easy to use so that I am able to give more time to focus on the student in front of me. Early Alert has helped our office detect at-rick students quickly.

I have no complaints and find it easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starfish Degree Planner is an efficient and easy to use program that allows students to achieve their goals academically and extracurricularly. As an adviser, it helps me determine what routes I can take to best aid each student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, I have very few complaints about Starfish Degree Planner. I do feel that the program is a bit unattractive and bland. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product is similar to many others we've used, so while there's always a learning curve - it was OK to transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like all products, the language can be confusing to newcomers and we had a lot of questions and back and forth come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program is great for instructors to inform the counseling of students who are failing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still glitches in the system and we are still learning how to utilize the program to work best for Students Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use this at my university to manage at risk students and it keeps us aware across the university. Very full functionality and better than the banner system that we use for everything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything. It is a nice database of students though approaching the same data from multiple different systems that we use is annoying Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
