Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

I use Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT in my position as a fundraiser. There are a few advantages, such as being able to see dashboards and gifts quickly. Unfortunately in my experience, as an avid Raiser's Edge user, there are a few frustrations and limitations. For example, I can get a list of gifts for a specific area, but I can't get the addresses or emails of the people who made those gifts. This makes it hard to be able to write thank you notes. Also, in order to look up information about funds, I have to go into RE. I think Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is good for those who are not tech savvy but have too many limitations.
  • List gifts
  • Provide Wealth information
  • Provide an overview of work
  • Lists are not detailed enough
  • still have to go into RE to enter information or it won't show up in both places
  • No information about funds
  • List of gifts
  • Overview
  • Prospect research
  • have not seen an ROI
In order for Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT to provide me with more effective fundraising, it has a long way to go. I still need to go into RE frequently, which is annoying. The kinks still need to be worked out before Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is something I can rely on. It's a start, but not fully functional
I've used many, many other products. I did not play a role in selecting Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for my org.

Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is good for a quick look at data. But it does not provide detailed data and I find myself needing to go into RE a lot still, which is annoying. I also find myself having to pull queries when I want specific information. Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is a tool for RE, but still needs a lot of work.
