An Extremely Versatile Tool!

Naviance is an indispensable tool and I would describe my overall experience with it to have been very good. I like how beneficial this is to not only teachers but also students as well. I would reccomend for anyone who's looking to use such a tool to definitely give this a try. I think it's absolutely great and I would highly reccomend it, despite the few drawbacks with the interface.

PROS

Naviance is great for any schools to use! It is extremely versatile and can be used for many different purposes. This is one thing that I like about Naviance because I can get so many things done via this one tool. For examples, Naviance can be used to directly communicate and e-mail students. Whether it be individuals or schoolwide, it can be used to reach everyone. In addition, Naviance also has tools that allow students to choose their classes as well as request letters of recommendations and has many tools to help them navigate through the college application process.

CONS

What I liked the least about this software is that sometimes things feel a little hidden. It is only when I sometimes accidentally discover something do I realize that it exists or is there. I think that this is not a good thing and hope to see changes in the future where it's much easier to navigate around in Naviance. I think this would be extremely beneficial as an easier interface to navigate around would mean that I know exactly what I can do through Naviance.

Ease of Use for College Planning

Overall the comprehensiveness of Naviance is a great program for students to use in future planning.

PROS

What I like most about Naviance is the ability to look at the scattergrams and see where our own students fell for each of the colleges with their applications. It is useful when looking at good match schools for students.

CONS

What I like least about Naviance is that when students decide to not apply to college, they don't often know to take it off their list and then Naviance keeps notifying me that I have transcripts to send.

Discriminatory company with rude customer support

Horrible; unable to make a simple update and I'm horrified to think my school district is spending our tax dollars on this garbage where the support is so rude. Naviance if you are interested I called on [sensitive content hidden] at about 11:10 am EST and the person I spoke with sounded male, and did not care at all about my concerns or history with this problem.

PROS

Nothing. We are getting zero value out of a program that is unable to be correctly updated to reflect accurate information.

CONS

My child's guidance counselor has repeatedly tried to change their name, which is listed incorrectly, in their naviance account and has called for support with it to no avail. When I finally called to see if anyone could help me, the representative was extremely rude and hung up on me. This leaves my child with all his college information coming to an INCORRECT name which is discriminatory. Their support could have offered me some resources or ideas for how to correct the information and instead, hung up on me after I'd spent ten minutes on hold waiting for help.

Makes some things easier but some things still remain difficult

College application management, college info communication, career exploration, so much more.

PROS

As a counselor, it makes managing college information so easy. We use it to coordinate visits, inform students of important opportunities, send transcripts and materials, and so much more. I'm on Naviance every day multiple times a day and to be honest I don't know what I would do without it.

CONS

First, it's confusing at times to use effectively. I am very tech savvy so it's not as much of an issue for me but older colleagues routinely struggle with it. Second, there are problems that persist from year to year with Common App integration which is a huge part of our job.

Simplifies the College Admissions Process

My overall experience with Naviance has been somewhat positive and I would recommend for others to give it a try if it suits their needs for their educational program.

PROS

Naviance is a great tool that really simplifies the college admissions process for students. Since Naviance can be liked with CommonApp, materials such as letters of recommendation can easily be sent through Naviance as well as materials from guidance counselors.

CONS

What I like the least about Naviance is that it has now turned entirely into a management tool for college applications rather than anything else. Before, there were more options such as that of allowing students to choose their future courses on Naviance. I don't think getting rid of some of these features was a good idea.
