After 2 years of BB CRM, here's what I think!
It is used in several departments within the organization, serving multiple purposes. It addresses the business problem of housing donor and prospect data.

Blackbaud review
We are the philanthropic arm for a local community owned hospital. Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge was used as our donor database for record management, gift processing, reporting and events.

CRM after using and implementing for multiple organizations
Blackbaud CRM is being used by participating Federations (separate organizations) as their sub ledger for fund raising and overall constituent management. It provides the ability to have a comprehensive view of constituents and is customizable to meet additional needs.

I'm a fan of Blackbaud!
We used it while I was at UGA. They still use it [as] a broad based donor and constituent management database. It is used to track donor contact reports and giving information and a broad spectrum of alumni and donor information. It is used to run reports and in overall relationship management with key people.

Blackbaud/Convio daily user
Almost our entire organization uses Blackbaud CRM to manage our participant database for our clients' fundraising events, including event registration (teamraiser), donations, email campaigns and websites (PageBuilder). It is a one-stop shop for event fundraising and communications.

BB CRM 2.93
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.

A Fundraiser's View of the CRM suite
Our organization used it as the database for donors. We used it across the organization, but primarily by fundraising and marketing staff. It addresses the problem of storing and retrieving information about donors and prospects, and then using that information for historical perspective, as well as sorting for mail lists, invitations to events, etc.

My Review and what it do...
I was using a specially developed version for helping the Salvation Army deploy emails and landing pages for various corps.

More than just a donor database
We use eTapestry as our donor database and as our moves management system for the entire organization. This includes the development department and well as marketing, mission services and our commercial services department, which has more sales functions. The main problem that it helps to address is lack of organized communication. With one search of the database, anyone can tell all of the activity that has been done with a constituent throughout the entire organization.
