## Reviews

### "Solid product that does what we need it to do." — 4.0/5

> **Michael** | *March 8, 2018* | Music | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Flexible product, integrates with Salesforce so can use all of the features of Salesforce, so any Salesforce admin can pick it up eventually.
> 
> **Cons**: It can be confusing for new users to learn the TargetX side of it. The upgrades can be a pain as they are released roughly every 30 days and its tough for our groups to test that quickly.

### "TargetX was the Premiere Admissions Software for Salesforce" — 4.0/5

> **Timothy** | *May 15, 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: TargetX replaced a clunky admissions and application process from a huge Higher Ed company that was bleeding clients.  TargetX was the innovator in the space of Admission on Salesforce.Oh, I can't forget, TargetX does email better than all the others - including Marketing Cloud.  ANd the cost is included\!\!\!\!
> 
> **Cons**: TargetX WAS the best.  Two main factors have hampered them.  1. Salesforce has created Education Cloud.  With their R\&amp;D money, TargetX is getting left in the dust.  2. Liaison's purchase of TargetX has reduced their focus on making the TargetX platform the best.
> 
> TargetX still provides a great Admissions Platform on Salesforce.  Their Customer Service is very good.  Implementation teams are very easy to work with.

### "Slow to get Problems Solved" — 3.0/5

> **Loreli** | *May 3, 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy the dashboard capabilities as well as the appearance of the CRM. Other than that there's not much else.
> 
> **Cons**: There are a lot of restrictions when pulling reports, a lot of bugs that needs to be worked out each time a new release was implemented, and customer service is very slow to respond most of the time.
> 
> We utilize TargetX as the CRM for our Applications to our programs.

### "The people at TargetX are very easy to deal with." — 4.0/5

> **Robert** | *March 15, 2018* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Out of the box, the product meets the bulk of our needs.  Being built on Salesforce it is very easy to extend the capabilities.  Release update procedures and documentation have improved a great  deal since 3 years ago and quarterly releases are much easier to install.  &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Support is very helpful and I've often received help from support that would have required paid consulting from other vendors.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The software we purchased came bundled with Informatica for ETL task, primarily data imports.  TargetX provides and maintains the import specs to handle various common imports such as the Common App and SAT scores.  Their support implementing those imports has been very good.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;We recently implemented their tool for creating spec based applications and review processes. We chose to use their consulting services for the implementation and they were extremely organized and efficient in their approach.  I was impressed.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to see them accelerate the process of being compatible with SalesForce's relatively new Higher Education Data Architecture.
> 
> Improved admissions recruiting and tracking.

> 
> **Pros**: Built on the Salesforce Platform which has many benefits&#10;Customized and well thought out packages/solutions designed for higher educations&#10;Company values and is responsive to customer feedback and uses feedback to improve the product
> 
> **Cons**: Customer support response time can be slow and occasional non-answers&#10;Limited out of box support regarding standard Salesforce patches, notices, and updates
