Customized to your needs and great organizational tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristina V. | Admissions Associate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2022 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** We have been able to customize almost every part of the process so that it fits our current needs. It is the process that has worked so well for us... but now on a digital platform that parents appreciate. It has been user-friendly and aesthetically works! We've also been able to tailor our communication with parents and prospective students to really answer their questions and get them excited about specific aspects of our school! The biggest thing has been using the activity and reminders sections that keep us organized and communication flowing between team members. Every prospective family feels special because we are always in touch with each one and each team member knows the specifics of every situation. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** It seems that SA is still working on a bunch of features that I have asked for since it would help our process. I get a response from customer support that says these features would be helpful but are just not available. **Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:** It is going to be exactly what you put into it. If you take the time to customize it to your needs,.. it is powerful in what it can do. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** Since the process is digital, it eases the process from families that are international or moving to the area. It also helps us with communication, bot on our team and with prospective families. ### 2. School Admin has transformed our Admissions and Enrolment work. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Natalie H. | D, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2021 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** Personalizing the inquiry, admissions, and enrolment experience during the pandemic allowed us to draw people into the 'feel' of our school without being on campus. Videos, photos, and personalized automated follow up have been excellent. The use of calendars to allow families to book events and appointments has proved to be a time (life) saver for us. School Admin support staff are quick to respond and provide excellent support and guidance in a very timely manner. It has added fun, gravitas, and organization to our work. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** One downside is that you can only complete an inquiry for one family member at a time. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can now collect data across a much more comprehensive range of fields, generate searches and reports, and export admissions and enrolment data with ease. The checklist feature has allowed us to build the admissions and enrolment experience that we were aiming for and provide helpful tips for parents along the way about what to do next. Our work is more organized and intentional because School Admin allows you to conduct many operations through its platform. In particular, having the capacity to schedule events, share mass email communication (personalized too), forms, questionnaires, create reusable email templates, run re-enrolment all through the one system has cleared up a lot of our work. School Admin has also allowed our team to focus on each person's role in the group and become more efficient by using templates and functions that do a lot of work on your behalf. ### 3. Great support! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 11, 2022 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** SchoolAdmin is one of the most responsive customer services that I have worked with during my career in admission. I must admit sometimes I feel as though they only have one customer - NMH School. They respond quickly, and it isn't always good news, but they never leave you hanging. If you don't need an extensive filtering of data, you will love the querying system. It is so easy to use. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** We selected SchoolAdmin because it was user-friendly and supposed to integrate well with Blackbaud. However, it is user-friendly because of the outstanding support, but it didn't play well with Blackbaud, and it doesn't have the features that we were hoping to get after giving up apps such as Salesforce and Marketo, Salesfusion, and Infusionsoft. For the typical admission office, this system would be an A or A+_level application. If you have used some of the apps I mentioned and want to move from that point, then SchoolAdmin would not be for you. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** Because the reporting system is so easy to use, I can pull information such as gender, ethnicity, grade levels, decision types, full-pay and financial aid, and international students and domestic. I probably don't have to do the weekly enrollment funnel report in excel that I have done in the past because it's so simple to get this type of information. ### 4. Great Onboarding **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Leslie S. | Business Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** We are new to SchoolAdmin and made the decision at the very last minute to use the system for tuition, and the support is incredible. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** There is much more required of me in this system than the last one I used, but I like learning it. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it to bring inquiry, application, enrollment, tuition management, donations, and incidental charges together under one system. ### 5. Best CRM for Middle & Secondary Enrollment in the Game! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Owen L. | Director of Enrollment Management for Secondary Schools, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** For many of us in the Private Catholic High School realm, the position of the Admissions Director or Enrollment Director is still relatively new. School Admin has allowed all of our schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to bring their admissions process into the digital world and interact with families in ways that we could never do in the past. With the ability to automate so much, it frees up time for Admissions Staff to personalize their family experience at even more extraordinary lengths. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** There is not much that I dislike, but I wish that some aspects were set up in different ways to make it easier for the user to navigate. My most prominent example would be how the Scheduling tools are structured in School Admin. If everything from setting up all before and post-event communications surrounding an event to marking families as attendees of an event could all be done from within the Scheduling module, that would make the event collection process so much easier. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** Finding incremental time savers are the number one problem solvers that I work with schools on from within School Admin. My favorite experience working with an admissions team in one of our schools was seeing their eyes light up when they found out that checklist items for application collection could be bulk imported instead of individually uploaded and added to students' records. ### 6. Associate Director of Admissions **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rick S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** The ability to customize apps and forms. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** There isn't much to dislike, it's better than Powerschool. **Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:** If you like the ability to customize your admissions and enrollment applications and have it all in a one-stop-shop, then SchoolAdmin is for you! **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to scheduling events and link them to active applicant files. ### 7. Great investment and top-notch service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennifer B. | Director Of Admissions, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2021 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** It is so easy to use! The search function is fast, it has everything I need to track an applicant through the admissions funnel, schedule appointments, and communicate with families. I have a small team and a large number of applicants, so I value efficiency. SchoolAdmin has streamlined our processes and given me time back!! We went from paper files to completely paperless last year, but test score reports and interview notes were still on paper. SchoolAdmin has an amazing bulk upload feature that can take one large scanned PDF and intuitively match it to all the correct applicants. Amazing time saver! I love the ability to customize an email and share a list of missing forms with an applicant family. We had completed files so much earlier in the cycle because of the ability to automate so many tasks. Search and report is a flexible tool to build any report you may need. There are too many great features to list them all here. Parents have found the system to be very easy and user-friendly for applications and enrollment. SchoolAdmin created a system to share common teacher recommendation forms with peer schools that also operate on the SchoolAdmin platform. This has made it easier for both our applicants and our feeder schools. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** SchoolAdmin has a unique system of tracking prospects, inquiries, and applicants in separate sections of the database. It's not easy to move individuals between these sections. Tracking inquiries is less critical to me as capturing their email address for future communications. I had to find new systems to work around that, but the benefits far outweigh this inconvenience. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am solving so many "problems" with SchoolAdmin: Tracking applicants through the funnel, paperless application files, online file reading, online enrollment and seamless integration with FACTS for tuition payment plans, customized online forms for forecasting, emergency info, permissions, etc. We have moved so many paper systems into SchoolAdmin that other departments will call Admissions and ask if SchoolAdmin can solve their problem too! ### 8. Huge fan of SchoolAdmin **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kevin R. | Trustee, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2021 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** I am a huge fan of SchoolAdmin. Having used a number of databases, I choose SchoolAdmin because of its simplicity, ease of use, and specificity as an enrolment management tool. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** Sometimes, I would like to have more customization---but that could be because we are building a new school that is quite different! **Recommendations to others considering Finalsite Enrollment:** I like SA because it is singularly focused on enrollment rather than SIS...and it has wonderful relationships with merging with SIS platforms. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** Enrollment management, tracking data, seeing trends, building board reports. ### 9. Long time users **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2020 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** Wide variety of features, helpful for all steps of our process. We've been through 2 onboarding processes; we needed the second onboarding as so many features had changed since our first onboarding. The system is not perfect and isn't the best for tracking our data, but it does help organize our application and enrollment process. **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** Some system issues/glitches occasionally; data tracking isn't accurate sometimes. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** Streamlined application and enrollment process ### 10. Happy to be a satisfied School Admin Client! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mary Kay D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Finalsite Enrollment?** From the front end I like that the parents find the application process self-explanatory and do not have very many questions. From the back end I like that I can get help from a School Admin staffer and they answer quickly and thoroughly. I love using "Search and Reports." It is so very helpful to be able to design my own lists. I love that I can see who is in the process of applying at "Draft Applications." **What do you dislike about Finalsite Enrollment?** I do find the How To videos to be tedious and hard to read. They confuse me more than inform me. I hate that I lose my own access to "Search and Reports" when new students are moved to Enrollment. I need the "Search and Reports" so as to add the new students who just applied or were admitted. Yes, I know I can do "Search and Reports" in Enrollment but then I have to start from the beginning. **What problems is Finalsite Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?** I feel that we have more control over the Admissions process because of School Admin. I feel that the parents view it as a professional process. ## Finalsite Enrollment Discussions - [What advice do you have for others considering Finalsite Enrollment for school admissions?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-advice-do-you-have-for-others-considering-finalsite-enrollment-for-school-admissions) - [What is SchoolAdmin used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-schooladmin-used-for) ## Finalsite Enrollment Pricing - **Pro**: Request a Quote - **Core**: Request a Quote - **Starter**: Request a Quote [View full pricing details](https://www.g2.com/products/finalsite-enrollment/pricing) ## Finalsite Enrollment Features **Functionality** - Email marketing - SMS Alerts - Event Management - Financial Management - Interview Scheduling - 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 Finalsite Enrollment Alternatives - [PowerSchool Enrollment](https://www.g2.com/products/powerschool-enrollment/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (22 reviews) - [Wisenet](https://www.g2.com/products/adapt-it-wisenet/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (397 reviews) - [Slate by Technolutions](https://www.g2.com/products/slate-by-technolutions/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (73 reviews)
