I currently work in higher education and our entire institution (from enrollment management to the registrar's office) utilizes CampusNexus Student to track and monitor both current and new student data. It solves the problems of managing student enrollments, student data, student status, billing, student course schedules, degree information, graduation information, etc.
Pros
Tracking multiple forms of data
Interdepartmental communication
Ability for multiple ranges of "authorization"
Cons
Layout can feel very outdated at times
Not always super intuitive
Glitchy

I think that CampusNexus Student does what it is created to do. If you are looking for a customizable system to track student data, I have no complaints. If you are looking for the newest, shiniest software, this might not be for you. While it can be glitchy sometimes, and feels outdated, it does its job and I have never felt like I couldn't do what I need to do because of any of those things.
CampusNexus is the one-stop solution for student management at the high school and collegiate level. There are a lot of tools for teachers for managing content, curriculum, and student progress in classes. However, this is the only solution I've found that can provide the school three key things, which is what it is used for. The guidance department uses this tool as a tool for tracking all students. First and most important is overall academic achievement, student engagement and outcomes, and analytics and outputs from the data. This software is only used by counselors and administration in order to help structure students and track them from one grade through to the end of their school career. Teachers do not need access to this, nor do they have access to the input of content or information. This solves the problem of how to track students, their classes, graduation requirements, credits, academic progress, student retention, and transcripts. Mainstreaming data makes life for educators and students much easier.
Pros
Particularly well, CampusNexus identifies at-risk students. In our school, and in any school, but in many city schools or schools with a lack of parent involvement or large populations, it is crucial to be able to identify students at risk of failing or struggling. This is something that is extremely effectively done here.
An additional strength I see is the ability to track graduate requirements. This is easily shared with students, parents, and the rest of the administration, to track and assist in student growth.
Academic records need to be shared and sent to colleges, parents and other high schools. Controlling academic records is a strength because it tallies the entire career of a student. Using this system helps to solidify communication.
Cons
The campus interface that showcases the data is very bulky. A better format would be to lay it out with options for the user to select from a series of data points.
Something done differently is that I would like to see a "dark mode" version. A lot of apps have dark or night mode, which is easier on the eyes and makes it better to use at night. In computer rooms it would also be an asset, because the room is often extremely bright in certain offices or classrooms.
I would like for parents to have the ability to see more student information, similar to what counselors are given. By giving parents more transparency at the middle school or high school level it would increase responsibility.
Likelihood to Recommend
Middle Schools and High Schools have a great use for this, as students need to abide by a certain track of classes and credits in order to graduate. The software really helps to control student progress. Degree or graduation progress reports help to assure that all students are given the opportunity to track their own academic progress. Sharing this information directly with students or advisors and parents guarantees higher graduation rates.
Recruiting is an interesting scenario when looking at using this relationship management software. CampusNexus offers strategies for marketing and reaching new students. Evaluating those interested students in a timely fashion also saves time and money for the university. It is an all-encompassing software that handles the student experience from the first day of enrolment until graduation.

CampusNexus Student holds all of our student records. From demographic information, to scheduling, to grading, it holds everything. I specifically used it to look for trends in our student population, whether that is what program they enter, what city they live in or near, or how they heard about our school.
Pros
It is a robust program. It hold many features.
It is easy to access and use.
Admins can give and limit rights to other users.
Cons
The interface screams 1995.
Due to the robustness of the program, it can be a little overwhelming.
A how-to, or help-videos would be a nice addition.

I don't know too many competitors for this type of program. I wasn't part of the team when it was implemented (over a decade ago). However, it meets our needs just fine. Though, in the end, it's not common for me to recommend any type of product. So if someone asked me if it was an okay product to used, I'd assuredly say yes.
