Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

I am a daily user of NXT as a major gift officer. I use NXT to track and manage my donor portfolio, plan for future strategy actions, reference it for contact and giving information, and enter all completed donor-facing actions into NXT.
  • Easy for me to use as a gift officer (action entry is very easy)
  • Dashboard style of information presentation is user-friendly for basic information
  • Useful for portfolio management and tracking actions and next steps
  • Frequent connectivity problems that causes information to be inaccessible
  • Difficult to pull some kinds of information without access to "backend"
  • Preset Dashboard "tags" are not relevant and cannot be changed
  • This is not an area I look at (unsure if it has resulted in increased dollars)
I find that this insights are not really relevant to my type of work (for instance it tells me donors "without a meeting" but they are not a type of donor that needs a meeting as a competitive research foundation).
  • In-Person Training
NXT is MUCH easier to use and easier to navigate than the classic version. Those are the only fundraising systems I have used.
