## Reviews

### "The absolute top of the line payment system for higher education" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *22 July 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Touchnet provides an all-in-one solution and has a lot to offer to fit the many needs found for campus needs
> 
> **Cons**: The system is complex and will need multiple people trained especially if you are implementing it campus wide.

-----

### "Student Online Payments Made Simple" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 October 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: TouhNet gives our students the ease of setting up payment plans, one time payments, or eRefund accounts. The interface the student uses is mirrored from the staff side and I can guide the student remotely through the process.  TouchNet allows for multiple payment plans and balance records to be stored for students to access. I only access the 'bill + payment' piece of the software in my job duties so I can't give a thorough review of how smooth the set-up process goes for accounting staff.
> 
> **Cons**: The software doesn't sync automatically with Oracle PeopleSoft. This required extra programming and at times the patch doesn't operate correctly.
> 
> TouchNet allows our college to provide payment options to our students.

-----

### "Poor customer service" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *4 April 2022* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It connects Ellucian Colleague in real time.
> 
> **Cons**: The customer support is lacking response. Some tickets take weeks to resolve. Do not recommend.
> 
> Poor customer support.
