Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

We use NXT for Full scale accounting services for all of the schools finances and it’s affiliates. It is the core product across all departments and integrates with the other BB systems we have.
  • Ease of entries
  • Search and look ups
  • Sophistication of layers
  • Integrations with 3rd party users
  • Reduce complexities of the UI
  • Open the API and compete with other similar customers. AI and integrations are going to eat it for lunch
  • Department tracking
  • Some data decisions
  • Increase reporting
It offers that but I am unsure of how it has improved this for us besides increased record accuracy and more sophisticate tracking of restricted funds
It hasn’t as it is only built for accounting folks with aptitude for the system. Its web-bass interface is nice for us, but complex and difficult to build to provide wide spread transparency. Accounting people have to print and run reports. Dashboard creation is complex. We have to purchase additional tools to get transparency and accessibility. This is is largest limitation
Sage wasn’t updated at the time. It is now and would be my lead choice. Quick books isn’t as sophisticated with restricted fund accounting.
