Alternatives to Symplicity
Other Higher education CRM vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Symplicity does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 28 that differ from Symplicity on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Symplicity has 7 gaps in what we could measure: Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116). The column “publishes and Symplicity does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
