"Powerful Donation Tracking, but Overly Complex and an Incomplete Transition"
3/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

RE-NXT has vast capabilities to track data. We use it for donation tracking and reporting, as well as acknowledgements, statements and stewardship. It handles our needs adequately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

RE-NXT is too vast. There are too many options which makes it difficult to tweak for our specific needs. The transition from database to NXT (web-view) has been slow, frustrating and feels incomplete. I feel something like a guinea-pig. It's very expensive and we still need to use other systems for specific events, accounting, peer-to-peer fundraising, and volunteer tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Steep Learning Curve with Visual Design Challenges"

What do you like best about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

Unknown at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

Things are taking longer than expected due to the learning curve and difficulty viewing information. There are no color or visual cues to help your eye differentiate between icons. Everything is gray and looks the same. The system doesn't have an intuitive feel making it difficult to find what you are looking for. It would have been nice to be asked what works and doesn't prior to making a big change. Difficult and we still don't understand it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it. It's great for pulling donor reports and updating info when there are changes.

"Effortless Alumni Management with Seamless Integration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

I like the ease of use and the web platform of Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT. The fact that it's a software as a service means we don't have to update it regularly, which is a major advantage. Additionally, I appreciate the APIs that allow us to integrate seamlessly with other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT?

The online forms in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT don't have full parity with gift processing functions, which is holding us back significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
