"User Friendly and Excellent Tech Support"

5/5

What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?

School Admin and their team are able to tailor your application, contracts, forms, you name it, to fit the needs of your school. I also have confidence in their product because their team is consistently seeking ways to improve and help schools further personalize and streamline things for families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?

At the moment there is nothing that I am dis-satisfied with from my time working with School Admin. We just started year three of our use and we certainly have not tapped in to the products full potential yet, but see that there is room for us to continue to grow within the system.

Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:

Before implementation it would benefit you to take a close look at your process and organize in one place all standard process emails and correspondence, forms needed, and goals of all departments it would affect to streamline the setup and comprehensiveness of your client facing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

Going paperless! We now have the ability to have process emails stored and accessed by all teams members efficiently so the school is communicating with families with the same voice and consistency.

User interface is much easier to navigate as well, which makes training new employees easier and faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5

What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?

The user friendly platform. It is very intuitive. The customer service options are excellent. People are knowledgable and easy to work with. I also like the reality that I can reach out to someone from your company quickly and they are knowledgeable and helpful in walking me through my desired needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?

I currently don't have any dislikes. Thank you for asking this question as many companies don't inquire about was they can improve. The effective customer service enables everyone to feel comfortable with the program. As an administrator I have found it very helpful to pull up information quickly during a family interview.

Connect with their staff as they provide great training for all users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

No currently problems. The benefit is having all the necessary information at my fingertips. Another benefit with this program is everything being streamlined for everyone. When a new user is introduced to the platform they have often felt supported by the in house person (me) and when I refer them to an employee from your company.

"It has been tranformative for our department and school"

5/5

a complete record of information and transactions with every child/family that is easily accessible by every member of the team. Easy to use workflow tools for inquiries, applications, openhouse, testing, searching and reporting. As we move are in our 4th year the longitudinal record is very valuable.

This tool will save hours of time for the whole admissions team and the supporting school team ( Academic, Finance0 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

School Admin has been vital in the whole admissions and renewal cycle. Biggest thing that has happened has been able to move away from paper based forms to everything being digital and available everywhere.

A quick workflow example: Openhouse -- collect registration online, automatic responses. automate sending reminders, agendas, parking maps. print sign in list for check in tables. and able to easily do bulk email updates on no-shows and walkups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SchoolAdmin is the best thing we have ever done for recruiting and enrollment management."

5/5

What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?

The auto-generated emails are amazing, as well as the ability to easily personalize each email as if a personal contact was made. Once the email templates were created the time saved by this feature alone was like hiring an additional team member. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?

Prior to SchoolAdmin we did not use a CRM so I don't have anything to compare it to - at this point there is nothing negative to say. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:

Make sure your entire team is committed to learning and using a new system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

SchoolAdmin allowed our Admissions team to track recruiting and retention throughout the school year. Not only were we able to track contacts we had made - phone calls, emails, meetings, tours - we were also able to track what actions resulted in a new student's enrollment. The amount of time saved by utilizing SchoolAdmin and the ability of the whole team to easily view the contacts that were made by other team members has changed the face of recruiting at our school.

"Well-organized and efficient admissions and enrollment platforms"

5/5

What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?

SchoolAdmin allows me to customize my admissions process, communicate easily and quickly with our constituents, and roll admissions into enrollment with a click of a button. I am most impressed with the customer service - support is very helpful and addresses my questions/requests quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?

While the system organizes applicants and parents, it also creates a "pause" in the process if a name is a possible duplicate in the system. During the admissions season, I need to check my admin portal several times a day to import names and either match them with a previous name in the system or create a new account. This delay can be confusing to parents if they want to continue the process immediately since the timeline is dependent on me to import the names. It might improve the system if there were more points of commonality (address, birth date, no reference to capitalization, etc.) that would allow the parent to move on in the process without waiting for me to import the name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:

The customer service is unsurpassed in this industry! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have recommended SchoolAdmin to several of my colleagues at other schools because of the outstanding customer service and the ability to customize my process. It has streamlined my timeline since I am in control of so many features and can make edits to most parts of the system immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
