What customer support options does Slate by Technolutions provide, and how do users find the overall support experience?

Support is described as capable and helpful, particularly when teams need guidance with complex processes. The experience can vary, however: users also encounter slow or unpredictable responses, and some find the ticket-based process less convenient than speaking with someone directly.

What is the experience like for teams switching to Slate by Technolutions from another tool?

Teams switch to Slate by Technolutions when previous systems feel outdated, lack admissions-specific tools, or leave recruitment and application work spread across multiple platforms. Prior systems mentioned include admissions CRMs and enrollment tools such as Salesforce, Ellucian PowerCampus, Jenzabar, Hobsons, and CAMS, as well as document and legacy systems. The move can bring admissions data, applications, and communications together, but configuration and learning the system take effort, so teams benefit from planning implementation and having people available to support it.

"Great product for Higher Ed professionals!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Slate by Technolutions?

Once you learn the basics of the system, it is pretty intuitive and easy to use. The documentation available in both video and text format really makes it possible to troubleshoot and learn many functions on your own. The training and on boarding they offer is also super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slate by Technolutions?

No major complaints but I do wish some parts of the system were more customizable without having to know SQL. This is a little prohibitive in being innovative with the system but overall the product already does what you need it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slate by Technolutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

A huge benefit has been in collecting prospect information in a way that we can actually use it. The communications are so easy to set up and this has enabled us to very easily communicate with our prospective applicants on a regular basis, and gain insights about their patterns and behaviors.

Another business problem this has solved is streamlining our appointment scheduling. There is an online tool for a calendar and our students can sign up for tours, class visits and meetings with admissions all on one page. They no longer need to call or email and this has alleviated a huge amount of administrative work in the office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Slate for Events and Prospective Students"

4/5

What do you like best about Slate by Technolutions?

It's very easy to use and very organized. Probably one of the best database systems that I've experienced in my short career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Slate by Technolutions?

Some of the options are hidden and difficult to find, but once you get past the learning curve, it's fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Slate by Technolutions solving and how is that benefiting you?

By having thousands of prospective students, we need a way to keep them organized. At events, we use Slate to check in to see who attends, and it automatically sends them a thank you or a "sorry we missed you" based on their attendance. It gives us really easy numbers for reporting and is quick and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
