Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

We use NXT to support our fundraising team. It is our database for donors, our communication system, and well as our work center to manage relationships.
  • Work center for organizing relationships
  • Donor records
  • Building lists is easy
  • Email communication feature could be more complex
  • Filtering lists in NXT could be more in depth
  • Forms could be more varied
  • Work Center
  • Emails
  • Lists
  • Reports
  • Our donors are easier to manage using RE and therefore more frequently touched by us so they are more likely to continue donating
The tags in the work center are helpful guidance as well as the tags on records. The prospecting tool is also helpful.
Training was clear and helpful when I first started using RE and had moved away from Salesforce.
I prefer RE to Salesforce CMS. RE is way less complicated and has a lower barrier for entry. The training is also easier. It works better to manage real donor relationships, integrates with Outlook, pulls lists easier and has a way better email messaging tool.

Would you buy Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT again?

Yes

It is well suited as a donor database and not well suited as a comms platform. I would recommend it to anyone with a small-mid donor file who wants to focus on tailored engagement and not mass communications.
