What do our clients think?

This is an essential tool and we can’t do without it… We have a very high first generation population so there’s a lot of education that needs to be done.
Natalie Wagoner
Director of Admissions, Frostburg State University

Cadence reduced our workflow. The students reaching out were more serious… online and graduate staff were excited from the get-go.
Conner Ellinghuysen
Director of Admissions, Buena Vista University
Image
We broke records for enrollment in 2019, 2021, and 2022. In 2020, we even came out better than most.
Roxanne Stancil
Coordinator for Recruitment Communication & Technology, Jacksonville State University

Cadence is very easy to use and extremely intuitive. The ability to collect data is also super helpful when creating reports or data supporting student interaction. The webinars and knowledge bases provided are also really helpful when you're looking for best practices.

We have only been a client for a year, but I have been impressed with the many ways that Mongoose is forward thinking about their product, the market and their customers' needs. They really are enthusiastic about their services and their clients.

We have been able to reach students at a whole new level! Communication with our prospective students was virtually non-existent before we began using Cadence.
Joe Beaty
Admissions Recruiter, Faulkner State Community College

Cadence lets us quickly connect with students who would have been non-responsive to phone calls and emails. Students reply to texts almost immediately.

Out of all of our vendors, Mongoose is THE BEST at customer service and satisfaction. You can tell client satisfaction is at the forefront of each interaction! For issues ranging from software integrations to best practices for higher ed comm, Mongoose will walk with you. Wouldn't trade this software for anything else! We recommend Cadence every chance we get.

Cadence provides us with the ability to communicate promptly with students/ families individually or in small to large groups with ease. Best of all, it's incredibly cost-effective!

We have an ongoing challenge of yielding our students through enrollment. Cadence has helped bridge that gap with newer generations that prefer text.

The most helpful thing about Cadence is the ease of use because it is so well designed. The training tools are fantastic making it quick to learn and easy to teach others. It's opened up the ability to contact some folks that have ignored our calls for years but are open to a quick text engagement.

Mongoose/Cadence texting has increased our student response to emails and decreased our workload! Texting a student to check their email is so easy. I love this company.

"We are a small institution with a limited budget; maximizing our time and resources is crucial. In the four months since we implemented Cadence Chat, our bot has assisted more than 450 potential students without anyone from our staff having to step in. Before Cadence Chat, this would have been our people and our time dedicated to answering those questions. Now our bot handles the stress and frees our staff up to focus on maximizing our productivity in other areas!"
