Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

Raiser's Edge NXT is cloud fundraising and constituent relationship management software from Blackbaud.
It was selected many years ago and there are better products in the 3 spaces we use BBNC for... but will miss having one product for all and the ease of integration with other Blackbaud products.
We use NC Spark in combination with other tools: Raiser's Edge, Team Raiser (a portion of Luminate Online). We got it in a package with Raiser's Edge. Without the peer-to-peer fundraising functionality it cannot be the only stand alone tool for fundraising. It also lacks a lot …
Blackbaud Netcommunity was selected because it integrates fully with Raiser's Edge. i-Modules and MailChimp are more flexible in terms of design and they have better analytics, but they do not integrate.
I am a long-time fan of Raiser's Edge and feel there is no competition in the arena that I would even consider. They are the leader in the field and continue to grow and enhance their products and add more to their solution offerings every year. We are currently considering …
NXT is better than DonorPerfect, but it has also been about 15 years since I last used DonorPerfect so I don't know if it's a fair comparison. I had only limited use of NetCommunity, but I do remember they had a tab that did track the emails we sent to donors on each of their …
NXT is superior in the ease of access for those that travel. The NXT email feature is easier to design and use than NetCommunity. The donation forms and registration forms on NXT are not yet up to customizable as NetCommunity.
While much of my background is with custom PeopleSoft systems in a non-advancement role, I can still compare the vendors and the products. I can say I will never go back to a customized, on-premise solution at this point in my career. Leave the upgrades and hosting work to …
We use both NXT and the original Raiser's Edge. They both have their pros and cons. Original (database view) has more robust querying available, but the display is awful and it takes a lot of hunting to find the information you need. NXT is more streamlined and efficient, but …
I've used Salesforce in the past however Raiser's NXT to me is more updated, visually appealing and user-friendly. Also, Blackbaud just has a large array of tools we use on a daily basis so we have a contract and package with them. We currently have a Blackbaud hosted website, …
I recently started a new position that uses Raiser's Edge 7, as opposed to my previous position that had NXT. I miss a lot of the functionality of NXT, particularly the Analytics. Of the other Blackbaud products I've used (Luminate, NetCommunity), I think NXT is the most …

Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
Raiser's Edge is the stepping stone product for me. Using this has allowed me and my company to access all other programs.
Our organiztion has been using Raiser's Edge (RE) for more than 20 years. I have not used or evaluated other programs. When NXT became available we were already quite pleased with RE so knew we would be getting a good product.
I have used Patron Edge (formerly a Blackbaud product), Education Edge, SalesForce, Tessitura, and Senior Systems. I've also used a few custom CRM's in the Real Estate industry. Some of these other systems have other or multiple purposes, so they may be a better fit depending …
The decision to work with Blackbaud was made before I was hired. However, I was hired based on my more than 15 years of experience with Blackbaud products. To date, in my opinion there are no close competitors in the market for nonprofits.
I've worked with Salesforce, Veracross, EveryAction, Nationbuilder, Evertrue and other products and each has its own strengths. What no one else currently offers is the "best of both worlds" scenario that exists with Raiser's Edge NXT. On the one hand you have fast, responsive …
