CAMS Enterprise is a web-based ERP, SIS, and research management system for higher education institutions, especially those with a low learner population. It manages all the components of a school’s data in one efficient database without duplication. This app helps learners, lecturers, and administrators create and share data, access reports, make announcements, and send messages via the system.

What Users Love About the App

“I loved Unit4 CAMS Enterprise! It’s very useful for ANY business. It keeps everything organized and shows you exactly what you need to focus on next. Great for finances, payroll, projects, reporting, and anything else you need to run a good productive business.”

“The thing I like best about CAMS Enterprise is that I work with some individuals that are very good at helping me solve my problems with the system.”

“My experience with CAMS is primarily with the faculty portal. As a means of accessing student rosters, emailing students, submitting grades, and keeping track of information on courses and advisees, it is functional, if not particularly elegant.”

I like the ease in learning the system. I have used a variety of them prior to this one and like CAMS the best.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I dislike the slow data indexing time, the linear nature of the software functionality, and that there is no inherent user access to customizing reports.”

“I am not sure to what extent the weaknesses of our faculty portal are the fault of CAMS or of my institution’s efforts to keep costs to a minimum, but navigating our portal is cumbersome. Pages often take a while to load, and at least a few times a semester the portal ceases to function entirely for several minutes or even hours. Again, much of this may not be CAMS’ fault, but it certainly sours my experience with their software.”

“It crashes multiple times a day and has a hard time quickly starting back up. It glitches a lot and that is my main issue with it. It is a very temperamental software, I think there are better things out there.”

“CAMS is not very user-friendly. It does not like to get along with other programs. The institution I work at has been looking into higher education mobile phone apps; however, we are not sure that these apps will work with CAMSEnterprise. It also requires users to use HTML code to program some things. I feel like the technology in CAMSEnterprise is severely lacking.”
