Hello Steve, We use Starfish at Youngstown State University and we've seen good results over the past 5 years with retention and course completion. Their customer service is excellent and our faculty like the ease of use. I recently looked at Copely Retention system which is more comprehensive than Starfish and also more expensive. Something I really liked about their system was a virtual room where you could meet remotely with your students. Very nice if you have a distance ed program! I'd be happy to share more about Starfish if you have questions. Becky Varian Director, Marion G.

I'm wondering if is anyone using any of the following products, and what can you tell me about them: Symplicity, Ellucian, DropGuard, Mapworks, Jenzabar, Starfish. If your institution is using another product that you're especially happy with, I would greatly appreciate that feedback as well. Thanks in advance for your help!
