Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Education Management Solutions

We use Blackbaud Education Management during the Admissions process from prospective family engagement, capturing recommendation forms, scheduling interviews/assessments, committee review, and contract posting. We also use different parts of Blackbaud's education management with Academics, Faculty, Extracurricular, Raisers Edge, etc. The teachers are able to use Academics to track assignments, tests and attendance. RE is used for our donor database and to track all donations.
  • Ease in completing applications.
  • Ease in completing enrollment.
  • As a parent and employee, I love how all of the platforms are integrated with each other.
  • I wish that it was easier way to generate a contract.
  • I wish that there was a way to post a candidate to Committee Review from the candidate's profile, instead of having to go to Committee Review.
  • I wish there was a way to customize our dashboard in EMS.
  • Time saving was huge for us with the use of the online recommendation forms instead of us having to view and upload them physically.
  • The fact that all of our applicants documents are cloud based and that nothing needs to be transported or have the chance of being 'lost' is very important for our department.
We use Blackbaud Community for support with what other schools are working with as well as the Idea Board. In the past when we contact Blackbaud support, our issues are resolved quickly and with the support that we need. We have not had an issue that has not been resolved and are so appreciative of the speed in the responses to our requests.

I love how all information is accessible on the cloud. It is very convenient for us to track the applicants recommendation forms, report cards and school visits (tour and shadow day/s). Committee Review is one of the best features that Blackbaud introduced, allowing all of our applicants to be viewed by our Admissions Committees while still keeping all financial information blocked by the committee.
