Does anyone have experience working with Canvas partners to analyze data such as Civitas, Intellify or others?

We are a small college and so in-house solutions are less desirable.  I'd like to know about your experiences with the integration and what your purposes are for using the data.  We especially wish to look at student retention.

Ideally the vendor would also use our SIS system information also.  We use CampusVue and will be migrating to CampusNexus shortly.  Any information would be appreciated.

We too are a small rural community college and are currently working with Civitas. Our SIS is Jenzabar and Civitas is integrated with Jenzabar. The integration with Canvas Data was just completed so I haven't had a chance to play with it. Civitas has not gone live with their "courses" module which I think will be the most useful to me as a distance learning administrator and Canvas admin. It is in beta with some of their test schools now and should be ready by fall. The only data we've seen so far is persistence data and the factors that effect persistence. Persistence does not mean success, it just means if the student enrolled in fall semester, they came back in winter semester. The way Civitas displays results is great and you can really drill down and get as much info as you want. They are a little on the expensive side, but they are great to work with.
