Raiser’s Edge is by far the most powerful tool in its price range. With constant development, partners with plug-in options and multiple consultant alternatives, there is nothing else available in the same price range. It has good support, customer success managers to aid you in your specific needs, and great training tools and help materials with easy online access.
Multiple channels of support are available -- chat, phone, customer success managers and highly-trained consultants. The support either in chat or phone are highly knowledgeable in the software, and when they can’t help they escalate issues to higher levels of support rapidly. It's easy to stay updated on ongoing support issues in their portals. The knowledge-base is easily searchable, and solutions are well presented.
