Hi Chris,
I think the answer to this will partly depend on how you plan to get data into EvaluationKit... If you plan on importing from Canvas, and have your courses well named and structured in Canvas, I'd say the resources probably won't be that heavy.
EvaluationKit (and most other similar platforms, I think) has a one-time setup to establish your department structure, and how courses map to those departments (this is where you hopefully already have things well named from your SIS to Canvas). I was able to do this for UM-Dearborn in a couple hours. You'll then build your evaluations in the system, and attach them to a particular department or top-level.
Each semester, you'll then make a new project (or copy an existing one), where you setup evaluation dates, and import the courses from Canvas. This step usually takes an hour or so for me at this point, since I'm mostly just copying existing settings, a first-time run through may take a few hours. I also have our departments do a final step where they'd emove any of the courses they don't want to have evaluated (independent studies, internships, etc). We don't have university-wide rules around this part, which is why I pass it down to department staff. I think this takes each department an hour or so to do.
Your experiences might be different depending on the structure of your school and your current evaluation processes (and how closely you want to try to stick to them). I've found EvaluationKit to be pretty easy to use, and actually somewhat more responsive to change requests (with good justifications included) than Instructure.
Hope this helps a bit!
