Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Education Management Solutions

We use it to manage our admission inquiries, applications, and contracts. We use it as a LMS and we use it for attendance, report cards, and transcripts.
  • Integration from admission to enrolled.
  • GUI is simple enough.
  • Features are adequate.
  • Better assessment tools are needed.
  • Better GUI for Advanced List.
  • Better Emailing System to allow quick email uploads of non users.
  • We would love a simple fundraising module with strong communication tools.
  • You don't need to print and mail as much.
  • Issues can be fixed quickly.
  • Information is shared in real time.
  • The communications with parents and students are simple.
I used to grab the phone call more often. They are pushing the chat feature for obvious reasons. Sometimes the wait time is too long and I can't spent my day monitoring when someone is ready.
Their website tools are not adequate. Anyone is better off with a WordPress site than using their website tool. They should abandon it and become a WordPress design firm and work on plugins for integration with WordPress.
The LMS is great. I love the grade book, integration with Grading Report Card.
There is a need to improve assessment tools and their reliability.
Their messaging system needs the ability to cc Reply or Reply-All. It should mirror an email system instead of a message board.
