## Reviews

### "Next Level Connection" — 5.0/5

> **Sarah** | *October 23, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I appreciate that Cadence allows me and my team to connect on a personal level with each contact we make yet have the ability to make that connection with many folks at the same time.  This is crucial for us as a school - a positive personal connection is often the foundation of a trusting relationship.
> 
> **Cons**: At times I had a hard time manually importing data into Cadence. I shared a bit of feedback to the team that certain aspects of the manual import were difficult and the team immediately started asking more questions about my feedback. They cared about what was difficult and wanted to make it better. Soon after those conversations, there were changes made to the manual import process which alleviated most of the difficulties\!
> 
> Overall, I've had a very positive experience with Cadence. The team behind the product has been wonderful to work with. My client support lead, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], has been extremely supportive.  Other staff have been a great support to our own IT team as we implemented FTP.

### "Great product and even better service\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jeff** | *October 12, 2020* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Integration with Slate was seamless and if I ever have a question it takes fifteen minutes for our account representative to get back to us. Cadence has allowed us to engage our prospective and current students like never before\!
> 
> **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to view reports right in the browser rather than exporting them.
> 
> We've been able to meet prospective students where they are as opposed to sending yet another email that students won't read. We're able to build relationships faster than ever because of students know they have a real person on the other end of the line.

### "Cadence Texting Review" — 4.0/5

> **Monica** | *October 19, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The easy setup and how user friendly it is.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not have any cons regarding Cadence.

### "A great way to connect" — 5.0/5

> **Caroline** | *November 19, 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cadence is very easy to use and convenient. The app makes it so easy to get and respond to texts without having to be at your desk. Also, the scheduling feature helps with future planning and makes it much easier to remember to connect or send event reminders.
> 
> **Cons**: My only problem currently is updating incorrect numbers across the system. It would be easier if there was also a way to update a contact's information across all teams instead of having to go into each team to update a new phone number, etc.
> 
> I love how fast they respond to requests, questions, etc. Budgets are stretched thin and every dollar counts, so it is nice to spend our money with a group who cares about our success.

### "Highly recommend to anyone in higher education" — 5.0/5

> **Milena** | *October 27, 2020* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Cadence/Mongoose's texting software has been a true game changer for us in our office, as well as at other divisions around campus. We currently use it in Admissions, Student Accounts, Financial Aid, and the Center for Student Success. Students' response rate is high and their engagement is much more significant than with email, calls, and even social media. It's a great product for higher education.
> 
> **Cons**: Still working on integrating with some CRMs, like Slate, but they release updates regularly so I am sure it's not too far behind.
> 
> I have nothing but positive things to day about Cadence-- both in terms of product, company, and customer support. They are easy to work with, highly efficient, and very helpful.

If that's you, Mongoose was built with your day in mind.\n\nFor higher ed institutions that need to reach more students than they could ever hire their way to reaching, Mongoose is the AI Engagement Platform that runs real, two-way conversations across Text, WhatsApp, and Web Chat, and extends them with AI Agents that take action, so your team can raise enrollment, retention, and the student experience without growing staff.\n\nAt the center of Mongoose are conversations, not campaigns. Text outperforms email for reaching today's students, and Mongoose is built around two-way exchanges timed to where a student actually is in their journey, not one-way blasts. The Inbox Assistant, generally available today, triages your team's inbox, answers routine questions around the clock, and escalates to a staff member the moment a conversation needs a human touch, with humans always in control. Outcome Agents currently in development, including the Application Completion Agent, Enrollment Yield Agent, and Student Retention Agent, are built to drive specific institutional outcomes as they roll out.\n\nMongoose sits above the CRM your institution already runs, maximizing systems like Slate, Salesforce, Workday, Ellucian Recruit, and Ellucian Advise rather than replacing them, so your team keeps working in the tools they know while reaching students on the channel they actually check.\n\nWhat sets Mongoose apart from a generic texting tool or a chatbot: it was built exclusively for higher education by people who understand admissions melt, advising caseloads, and Giving Day campaigns, not messaging in the abstract. Real-time reporting on sentiment, topics, and resolution status gives your team visibility into what's actually working, and real customer results back up the impact: Kettering University saw a 60% year-over-year increase in deposits after implementing targeted texting with Mongoose.\n\nSupport doesn't stop after onboarding. Every team gets live online training, on-demand webinars, and a full documentation and video library, plus responsive email, phone, chat, and 24/7 live support when something needs a human fast.\n\nTrusted by more than 1,000 institutions to reach every student, Mongoose is built on one belief: every conversation matters.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/efda1797-8169-406b-a4c9-dc196d9dac53.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/1998087/cadence","@type":"SoftwareApplication","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/1998087/cadence#software","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":64,"ratingValue":4.8},"offers":{"price":"2500","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Android, Platform ios, Platform ipad"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://www.getapp.ca/software/1998087/cadence#breadcrumblist","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Higher Education Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/31/academic/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Mongoose","position":3,"item":"/software/1998087/cadence","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
