Difference between EDA and Education Cloud
Hi all,
Could you please help me to identify what are the differences between EDA and Education Cloud?
I read plenty of articles and some of the Salesforce documentation, but it is not 100% clear to me why do we need Education Cloud, since EDA is a free and open-source solution that provides the architecture.
Also what I have until now is:
EDA:
The foundation of "Education Cloud" and the Connected Campus
Designed to configure Salesforce out of the box for Higher Education.
EDA is not an App, it is an architecture, meaning it creates a foundation for Custom Apps.
Education Cloud:
- Salesforce Education Cloud is a Higher Education specific version of Salesforce that uses Education Data Architecture (EDA).
It includes standard functionality for Student Management & Course Management as well as Gift Entry Management (GEM) & Donation Management.

Thank you for your reply.
I already checked this blog post and many others.
The only thing I couldn't really understand is what is the difference between EDA and Education Cloud?
- is it the same thing?
- is it that one is built on the top of the other one? - if yes, what exactly are the "new things"
and etc.
Kind regards,
Dimitar

On the other hand, Education Cloud is a higher education-specific version of Salesforce that incorporates the Education Data Architecture (EDA). It is a comprehensive solution that includes standard functionality for student management, course management, as well as features like Gift Entry Management (GEM) and Donation Management. Education Cloud leverages the power of EDA to offer a pre-configured package with specialized functionalities and workflows tailored to the requirements of higher education institutions.
While EDA provides the architecture and flexibility to build custom apps, Education Cloud is a pre-configured solution that encompasses a wider range of features and functionalities specifically designed for the education industry.
