TargetX, from LiaisonScoir for Colleges
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.

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.
