Blackbaud CRM is an enterprise solution that adds more features, better reporting using the SSRS platform, and is web-based vs thin client. Salesforce, meanwhile, is a robust application where expanding the functionality is done via configurations vs full code, while allowing …
We made a transition to Raisers Edge from Donor drive 6 years ago and considered a Salesforce solution at the time. We found RE to be the most suitable for our overall needs.
Raiser’s Edge is by far the most powerful tool in its price range. With constant development, partners with plug-in options and multiple consultant alternatives, there is nothing else available in the same price range. It has good support, customer success managers to aid you …

I'm currently using Salesforce at another organization and have not been happy to make a general business product fit into the fundraising landscape. I inherited this system and it was not well-thought out before implementation. I'm now faced with re-building a program that is …
I currently use Salesforce. It's a similar but different beast when it comes to a CRM. I think, overall, Raiser's Edge seemed to be a better donor database. Salesforce is really focused on the relationships management over the donation tracking and data like that. At least …
