Naviance wasn’t useful for us because too few students at my son’s high school had applied to the colleges he chose. If you are ok with self-reported data, then CollegeData is more valuable than Niche, IMHO:

CollegeData allows you to check boxes for standard, legacy, athlete, male, female, RD, EA/ED, class year, public HS, private HS, in state, OOS, etc. The fewer boxes you check, the more sparse the data, obviously. Even with just a few data points though, you can get a feel for the possibility of acceptance/denial.
