Ellucian Colleague: AI Visibility Report
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about higher education sis, Ellucian Colleague ranks #5 of 15, a Visibility Score of 36 in Higher Education SIS .
These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.
Third in its only race, Colleague owns one track.
Where it wins. A 42% mention rate in Higher Education SIS puts Colleague inside serious buyer conversations more often than not. That rank 3 of 15 position means the AI models know the product and surface it consistently.
Where it loses. A 6.9% first-pick rate reveals that ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini reach for Colleague as a credible alternative rather than the opening answer, and its complete absence from Enterprise pick themes suggests the models frame it as a fit-specific option rather than a scale-tested default.
