Pros

“Anything that has to do with advancement, development, fundraising, donations, constituent management, reporting, queries, communications, or money.”

Stephen L.

Vice President, Sponsor Relations

“They're also great with customer service and have spent a lot of time cultivating a community of Slate users who all work together to make the most of the product. ”

William B.

Assistant Director of Marketing Communications

“Functional after a big learning curve, but easy after you get the hang of it, Slate is useful for the admissions process but could use a few updates to make it more user friendly.”

Tina H.

Professor

Cons

“I've spent many, many hours troubleshooting issues and reading through their Knowledge Base to understand how everything works—and even then, I don't always get it right. Because of this huge learning curve, I've become the primary contact in admissions for all questions relating to Slate. While it makes sense that not everyone will have the time to devote to learning the ins and outs, I'd recommend having at least a few people who are tasked with thoroughly understanding the product so it doesn't become a burden.”

Sarah E.

Associate Director of Admissions
