    It does great with donor cultivation processes and the workflow feature is top-notch for automating processes. Where it does a less than stellar job is getting it to work more specifically for your organization. Often times building that kind of special feature costs a significant time and money investment and it is something that is hard to transfer when it's time to move to a new database.

    Great for SaaS companies looking to demo their products. We use it on sales calls and send it afterward. It can also be used before booking demos to show to potential customers, or by customer success to create a self-guided tour of a product. The customization options are great, as is the ease of creating demos.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Big Investment
    • It's a sales program with a donation management overlay so it has some troubles around reporting.

    • Some of the UX around the demo creation is still a bit janky. For example, your work does not save automatically - you need to be constantly saving it or all your work will be lost.
    • The organization of all of the demos is improving, but things still get lost.
    • Ideally it would be easier to replace certain attributes in bulk.

    Support for the product is horrible; often support will have you bouncing between Blackbaud support and Salesforce support and it's very rare either are able to find simple solutions. Most of the time the solutions almost always cost money and hiring consultants which, for a smaller organization, means not being able to achieve proper solutions.

    Of the databases I have used, Luminate CRM is my least favorite. However, it is powerful and large enough to function adequately for a large nonprofit; I couldn't say the same for some of Blackbaud's smaller products. We definitely need the full Luminate Suite (Luminate Online, Team Raiser, etc.,) to make it work, though - and we're constantly disappointed by the clumsiness of the way all the pieces interact.

    Previously we created clickable demos in InDesign and XD. While clickable, they were nowhere near as realistic as Walnut, they lacked analytics, couldn't be customized, and they needed a designer to keep them updated. With Walnut, we can also add or remove features in a demo depending on what the customers' needs are.

    • Uncertain; we have not collected data on this. Our Luminate package is quite expensive, though.

    • Previously, our demos were often out of date. This led to less satisfied customers buying things that weren't quite what we had. Customers now have a better idea of what to expect.
