Great platform to bring together events, messages, appointments. My favorite concept about slate is that I can register attendees of an event and then mark them as attended. This helps my organization keep track of who to send follow-up emails to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very intuitive to use. Some things are placed where I would not expect them to be. It should be a little easier to create an event without creating so many other folders within it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slate is designed specifically for higher ed admissions and delivers on every aspect of our recruitment operation. With Slate we are able to manage travel recruitment strategies, execute our print and digital communications plan, import prospect and applicant data from various sources, create custom forms and applications, read apps and make final admissions decisions. Slate releases updates constantly and support is readily available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While not often, there are occasions when custom sql is needed which can take some time for technolutions to build or respond to a request. Also, the major lacking feature is a task management system for our staff users. There is a feature in production but currently unavailable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that recruitment data and admissions data is in one place. It makes it very easy to enter data myself, research information for choosing recruitment strategies based on data, and communicate with students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that queries were a bit easier to use. Choosing the language necessary to get the information I would like from the dataset is a bit confusing, so I often need to reference previous queries to find the information I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The voyager mapping tool allows us to track lead sources over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Texts aren’t auto-logged. It would be a strong enhancement to allow text campaigns to be auto logged Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can truly do anything you want to do in Slate. The support is incredible - you'll be able to work with their team to help you set up sophisticated processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you don't have the resources to devote someone to Slate full-time, or if you are looking for a CRM that will have a support team do everything for you, Slate isn't for you. They will really "teach you to fish" instead of "giving you a fish." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The features really stand out and the ability to integrate with email to generate reports really helps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is quite complex in its architecture and we have found it difficult to customize at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Slate is very user-friendly. Even if you weren’t an admissions counselor, you could understand what the functionality of this website is and does. You can do anything from managing text messages sent to students to reviewing applications to answering and tracking emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The technology is still slightly new, so there are some improvements that need to be made. But, luckily, as an admissions counselor, I don’t have to deal with them! It’s mostly the background data management side that struggles with how to do certain things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is the fact that the company does not have a sales team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike is the fact that, because there is no sales team, no one comes to campus to do an in-person training of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to track applicants' materials from start to finish, the batch capability to assign readers during admission process, the communication capability, and the ease of access from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app is not perfectly designed, so it is hard to access from a mobile device. Also, some of the custom reports are hard to use (for example, the delivery reports for messages sent through the internal function doesn't provide recipient name). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard is my favorite part. Love that I can have the overview of the record, as well as, direct link to specific aspects of the record Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am still in the progress of working on figuring out sending off the same email to multiple records. Different than sending off automatic comm. It seems like a lengthy process for one email, using mail merge through word is easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
