User Testimonials
	TargetX, from Liaison	RedShelf
Likelihood to Recommend	TargetX is a great full-service suite for Colleges and Universities looking to implement a new CRM, or are wanting to migrate from a different CRM. TargetX works great for multiple departments, but will need to be somewhat modified to make sure each department has the data security they need. TargetX know enrollment, and does a good job putting together the pieces needed. Due to the way it is customized on Salesforce, it is very hard to use some 3rd party Salesforce AppExchange tools as they expect the data to be in a different model.

Cons	Acquisition by Liaison has decreased customer/account support Native SMS is not fully capable Moving products from 3rd party (like Conga Connect) to internal (TargetX Print) has decreased capability. Incentivized Timothy Hardin Salesforce Adminstrator Read full review	I work at Sydney University of Technology and can only say that this tool has been of great help to me and my students. Incentivized Ikki Penta Lead Data Scientist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Given that it's an older solution and addresses a lot more use cases, there's a lot more bulk and technical debt in the solution. This may make it overwhelming for first-time users and administrators. The email builder though is truly par excellence.

Return on Investment	We have saved a great deal of money on email campaigns with over half a million contacts Managing of on-campus event registration has been very successful for us. By creating a call center using their Telemarketing component we have been able to increase our enrollment for a number of programs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Tools to be a strong independent College bookstore Great support for rolling out day one digital access Good margin for the eText Incentivized Meredith Schreiber Director Bookstore and Auxiliary Services Read full review
