Pathify vs Ellucian

See why leading institutions move from Luminis to Pathify, giving their students greater personalization, communications, and ownership of their digital experience — all in one place.

First, we want to give a quick nod to the Ellucian team.

They’ve built great SIS and CRM products that help many institutions. We’ve integrated with their solutions dozens of times and we don’t see that changing.

So what’s the difference between Pathify and Ellucian?

Ellucian software covers a large swath of systems at an institution — including Banner and Colleague — while we focus exclusively (or, as we like to say, obsess) on creating a centralized digital hub to streamline the digital student experience. That’s it.

Sure there are different product features (which we get into further down this page), but the biggest difference is how we think about the student experience.

AVC’s Journey from Luminis to Pathify

“We really found that Pathify hit all of our checkboxes — they met all of our requirements from a feature set standpoint. We really liked the idea that we could build our own widgets, and that the platform was incredibly extensible.”

When AVC learned Luminis was sun setting, the college started looking for a modern alternative that better fit its student, faculty, and institution needs. They considered Ex Libris, Unifyed, rSmart, and Ellucian Experience. Then they found Pathify.
