Great Product and Amazing Service by Embark **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 15, 2018 **What do you like best about Embark Campus?** The Embark software was easy to use and the support was absolutely terrific. Any issues I encountered were handled at lightning speed and even getting the contract through a difficult university procurement process went really quickly. The other terrific think about Embark is that applicant references don't need an account to submit a letter - they just follow a personalized link! This feature saved our team countless hours! **What do you dislike about Embark Campus?** There isn't a whole lot to dislike. Like all software, it took a little bit of time to figure out how to update fields and make some specific changes, but the Embark support got back to me so quickly that I really didn't have the need to figure it out myself. **What problems is Embark Campus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Applications for a Faculty Recruit Process. Ensuring applicants can see the status of their application and received letters of reference is a huge value add and saved our team a lot of time. ### 4. A Time Saving Organizational Tool for Program Applications **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jaclyn J. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 13, 2018 **What do you like best about Embark Campus?** The interface is easy to work with and the customer service is amazing. We have approximately 400 applications coming in so it works well for our needs. **What do you dislike about Embark Campus?** The automated emails from the system tend to end up in junk folders creating a little bit of confusion. I'm not sure if there is a solution to the problem on the software side or on the user side. **What problems is Embark Campus solving and how is that benefiting you?** The software has allowed us to be more on top of the applications. It is an incredible time saver. No more getting attachments separately and organizing them. It compiles the application into a user-friendly PDF and allows data to be exported. It has completely changed our workflow for the better. ### 5. Excellent product and even better customer service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Performing Arts | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2018 **What do you like best about Embark Campus?** Embark delivers an excellent product and we're impressed with the design, layout, and function.

No complaints at all. This is a great product. **Recommendations to others considering Embark Campus:** Do it. **What problems is Embark Campus solving and how is that benefiting you?** Basically, our business problem was that our previous application software provider went out of business.

G2 crowd passed along the context that you were an end user at a university helping with the nomination process for one of our scholarship clients. At Embark, it is our clients -- schools, universities, and scholarships -- who choose the look and feel, workflow, and text and multimedia content that they feel will work best for their users. We work to support them in that process by explaining the capabilities of our system as well as best practices from the feedback we've heard from users like you over the years (now 23 years and counting!). We realize it can get a bit confusing when each of the major scholarships creates their own workflow and accompanying user guides and training plans. We have been engaged in a dialogue with leadership across these scholarships to increase consistency for a simplified user experience. If you ever have thoughts on what changes or instructions could help make a specific process more intuitive, we would love to hear your ideas and will definitely pass those suggestions along. ## Embark Campus Discussions - [What is Embark Campus used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-embark-campus-used-for) - [View Embark Campus pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/embark-campus/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-06-08+16%3A05%3A46+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=c400496b-8cee-44b4-979a-6c3f522d7058&secure%5Btoken%5D=0e1be999b97426054cf61144928113ef01e8dc57c0b3a4d758d1da4fa5cc5a7a&format=llm_user) ## Embark Campus Features **Functionality** - Email marketing - SMS Alerts - Event Management - Financial Management - Interview Scheduling - Mobile Application - Forms Automation - Marketing Automation - Lead Nurturing - Automated Reminders **Data Management** - Analytical Tools - Integration APIs - Funnel Management **Agentic AI - Admissions and Enrollment Management** - Multi-step Planning ## Top Embark Campus Alternatives - [Wisenet](https://www.g2.com/products/adapt-it-wisenet/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (397 reviews) - [Submittable](https://www.g2.com/products/submittable/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (167 reviews) - [OpenEduCat](https://www.g2.com/products/openeducat/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (137 reviews)
