Suboptimal and mediocre at best, a complete waste of time and fund at worst **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Xello?** It has good user interface and it lets kids browse potential career options, but that's about where the positives end. **What do you dislike about Xello?** Many of its courses and lessons are painfully common sense and monotonous. Teaching basic, obvious things with menial courses. If a student had not already deduced what they are good at, or even what they like, they require actual help. What they don't need is a test--which takes up valuable class time--to "find" your "personality style" or "how you learn best". The videos on their scroll page are subpar, and don't go in depth on a potential interest the child who clicked on it was looking for. Finding out what career path a kid wants to pursue in the future is one of the main goals of the application, and even a simple scroll page that could give insight is plagued with mediocre, surface level clips. Everything about this website is mediocre. Teachers, there are other resources and tools we can use to better prepare children for the future, and their lives ahead of them, but this unengaging, unhelpful application doesn't actually answer questions, or even help children discover anything they already don't know. **What problems is Xello solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is not solving any problems ### 2. The worst experience I've ever had with a career development website. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Xello?** Cool interface with an easy-to-use program. **What do you dislike about Xello?** Everything Xello tries to teach you is already very common sense. **What problems is Xello solving and how is that benefiting you?** Xello has not helped me solve any problems. ### 3. Xello Review **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natalie W. | English Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2020 **What do you like best about Xello?** Xello encourages students to introspectively consider their strengths, challenges, and future plans. Students who take the time to use the program to its full potential can ultimately plan for college or career readiness as they embark on their high school journeys. Xello provides students with up-to-date information on colleges and universities and allows students to save preferred careers and pathways which they can revisit as they grow and mature. **What do you dislike about Xello?** Some aspects of Xello are difficult for students to navigate. Without a teacher guiding them which pieces to complete in succession, they get "stuck" trying to figure out what to do or how to manage it. Specifically, students who struggle with reading frequently get caught up not knowing what a question in asking. **Recommendations to others considering Xello:** Provide teachers with tutorials prior to expecting them to lead in-class exercises on Xello. It is user-friendly, but there is a learning curve until you are familiar. **What problems is Xello solving and how is that benefiting you?** Xello allows students to consider and reconsider future plans. They can take several personality/education quizzes to determine best-fit jobs or get an idea of the type of post-secondary school they would like to attend. ## Xello Discussions - [Is there a Xello app?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/is-there-a-xello-app) - [What is Xello app?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-xello-app) - [What can Xello do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-can-xello-do) - [View Xello pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/xello/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+07%3A19%3A23+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=123eca14-3d84-4d7d-a05d-942694cb8f2f&secure%5Btoken%5D=f2956a305594f3211249f661c5e9603baa4a05448fdccc1f7c9bd931920f287b&format=llm_user) ## Xello Features **Planning** - Creating plans - Scenarios **Progress monitoring** - Degree progress - Reporting and analytics - Identifying at-risk students - Recording notes **Outreach** - Messaging - Appointment scheduling - Alerts and Notifications - Self-Service tools - Mobility ## Top Xello Alternatives - [Ellucian Student](https://www.g2.com/products/ellucian-student/reviews) - 3.3/5.0 (260 reviews) - [Achieve](https://www.g2.com/products/e2e-advising-achieve/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (57 reviews) - [Workday Student](https://www.g2.com/products/workday-student/reviews) - 4.0/5.0 (55 reviews)
