Blackbaud CRM is being used primarily as a constituent management tool. The problem it addressed was the lack of a CRM that could record moves for individual and foundation prospects. It is not integrated with other revenue systems.
  • Application is robust in terms of performance and lack of downtime.
  • Application can be used after brief training.
  • Application is powerful in that it can easily create constituent groups and the prospect management applications are strong.
  • Great room for improvement on reporting capabilities.
  • The foundations module is not worth the price, is very hard to use.
  • The concept of research groups needs to be rethought, as they are very hard to utilize by users.
It is not well suited for small organizations. It is likely suited for larger organizations that need all staff on one CRM.
  • Has allowed management to view portfolios.
  • Has highlighted need for moves management.
  • Has engaged users, who in the past did very little to create institutional memory.
Blackbaud CRM was much more focused on fundraising and was more customizable. Other products considered were often not 'out of the box' in terms of functionality, however much design was needed prior to implementation.
Given we are over two years into using the product, no consideration would be made to changing platforms at this time.
