Luminate Online is priced based on the number of email addresses on file, modules used and service plan. Our peer to peer offering, TeamRaiser, has a transactional, shared success pricing model.
We have recently evaluated Salesforce for Non-Profits. We have other departments that need to track vendors, actions, give access to consultants, run analysis, and possibly provide email marketing. At this time NXT does not provide all that Salesforce can. We understand that …
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
My first choice would be Blackbaud RE7 over NXT. I believe firmly that the regular database is still much more capable in terms of data capturing and management. However, from a data visualization standpoint, NXT takes the win. I also believe that Luminate Online still holds a …
There just is no system as robust and capable as Raiser's Edge NXT. It's ability to track anything you'd like, give you space to create custom fields (attributes) and utilize fields in different ways than intended give it the extra advatage that we hadn't seen in other …
RE NXT is harder to use to than NeonOne - but NeonOne lacks a lot of functionality and is not appropriate for higher education or more sophisticated nonprofits. RE NXT is easier to use than Luminate. Its Marketing module is not nearly as sophisticated as Luminate but that's OK …
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 …
I joined the team in 2016 when we transfered to BB. NXT was not an option back than, and when we added it to our suite of BB products it made life a lot easier. I will say that people did say that BB is a lot better than Allegiance.
I have been a Raiser's Edge user since 2008 and a NXT user since Sept. 2020. NXT's added web view is great (though limited) for fundraisers. However my team (who processes all monetary donations and all donation-related financial reports & analytics), still primarily uses …
Raiser's Edge NXT is a much better product than the standard RE that we had in the past. The function of RE7 was very bulky, cumbersome to operate, didn't have an ease of use, and overall was something I didn't look forward to using. Raiser's Edge NXT looks better, works, …
It has been great to move to Raiser's Edge. I've worked with several systems over the years and Blackbaud's products have always turned out to be the best in the nonprofit world. Raiser's Edge was built for nonprofits -- not a business-based CRM shoe-horned for a nonprofit. …
Because I did not work at Catholic Social Services at the time Raiser's Edge was purchased, I was not involved in the evaluation process. My previous experience with membership/fundraising databases were with Membership Pro and BasicFunder. Raiser's Edge NXT is considerably …
eTapestry and Little Green Light are both very flexible and customizable, but neither is as robust as RE in terms of reporting, setting performance metrics, integrating with a Finance department, or creating a moves management system. CRM is quite extensive, good for the very …
Our organization does use Wealth Engine. I know that Blackbaud offers something similar that does Wealth Screening. In addition our organization uses a third party credit card and check processor for Sustaining and credit card gifts.
It is a great add on feature to Blackbauds Raiser's Edge NXT. Raiser's Edge NXT does have the capability to create donation pages however it does not have the capability to do receipting which is why I prefer Blackbaud Luminate Online capability for this.

Chose Blackbaud Luminate Online
We have used Artez/Frontstream for donation pages and peer to peer but it doesn't seem to offer the flexibility and donor experience as well as Luminate Online does. Emailing is limited and user experience for peer to peer is basic. Not as much support or interest in helping to …
We've just begun evaluating other programs to see if there is an equivalent to Luminate. We are particularly interested in email management and have looked at Constant Contact, MailChimp, and other similar services. While we like the data management options that these products …
I've looked at Give2Together and Salsa. The reality is that I have been using Luminate for over a decade and I really like the platform. I wouldn't consider using a different program.
Imodules is probably the other company I have used to do similar work, but because of the nature of the current institution I am in, it did not seem to be a good fit and Lumniate was.
Moved from Sphere to Luminate On-line at the recommendation of Blackbaud. Suggested as a better solution to the issue of duplicate records being created by the on-line giving process. We have found that Luminate Online comes with it's own set of problems around records with the …
When it comes to meeting all of the needs for a non-profit to effectively fundraise – email, web, merchant services, advocacy, eCommerce, CRM – the Blackbaud ecosystem is the only one that can do everything in one place, and do so reasonably well. A stronger solution may be to …
