I believe it has impacted our business because this year we have gone above and beyond what our goal was to raise for our community hospital. All of the improvements to easily access the information of our donors really allows our fundraisers to go out in the community and meet with donors and …

Honestly, the mapping tool is a favorite. If I know I am going to visit a donor I can easily see who else is in the area for me to stop by. It can also help identify prospects. If I have a major donor in one neighborhood then what other constituents are in that area? And the insights are helpful …

I don’t think I have used any analytics features and therefore don’t feel confident that I can give a proper answer. I can say that without this tool I would be flying blindly when planning events. This serves as the foundation for all events I plan from strategy to execution.

One of my coworkers uses ResearchPoint and we've all gone through training and the yearly meetings. It all sounds good but I'm not sure how much we actually use it or how much new information it really gives us that is accurate. Even with all the trainings I am still overwhelmed by it and not that …

I find that this insights are not really relevant to my type of work (for instance it tells me donors "without a meeting" but they are not a type of donor that needs a meeting as a competitive research foundation).

The Reporting function is a great idea, but too rigid and not customizable enough. We still have to rely on reports pulled from database view (and are purchasing Fundraiser Performance Management.) If Reporting was a little more robust, we could probably avoid that and the fundraisers wouldn't…

We are a small shop (2 people ), so we likely aren't using Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT to its full capacity. It certainly is helpful to retrieve info on our donors and be able to track their giving over the years and likewise identify those who have lapsed.

It's fine. It's not the fastest, but not the slowest either. The real limitations come in how difficult it is to pull reports, or how to segment parts of information. This isn't an issue of not knowing how to do something - we've followed up with staff and there are actual limitations that make work harder.

I think RE NXT provides a wealth of knowledge that was previously unavailable or much harder to access. I also think the Blackbaud support team has been great helping me navigate any issues or questions I encountered when my organization switched over to NXT.

I think Raiser's Edge NXT performs very well and is quite functional. I have experienced some lag in loading constituent search results, but overall it loads pages much faster than the Raiser's Edge database view. Reports complete in a reasonable time, but I wish they offered more in-depth filters that are easily pulled in the database version.

It is very easy to use and cuts down on so many steps that were needed in the classic view. The information can be accessed anywhere and the panels can be arranged so each person sees what is most important to them first. It is a great product!

NXT itself is a pretty simple interface, and is great for front-line fundraisers to be able to look up info and run some simple "reports"/analysis. It's very quick and intuitive, but the back-end attached to it (RE 7.96) may have connectivity issues from time to time. NXT itself, though, is simple enough that issues are rare.

The user interface is amazing. All of our major gift officers have a short cut on there mobile phone and use it. RENXT being easy to access, view and, update has made the user adoption rate much better then the old database view. Specifically for fundraisers. Reports also load quickly. I do not know about its performance with other software expecept for outlook (you could add an action/reminder with in RENXT and have it also added to your calendar. That's works great.
