I used DonorPerfect at a previous job and while it was good, it does not come close to providing the same user experience as Raiser's Edge. I did not find the reporting feature to be all that helpful and was severely limited on how much information I could pull on the donors …
DonorPerfect worked well enough, but they were upgrading and not supporting the version the organization I worked for had so when we had a choice to go with DonorPerfect's upgraded platform or change to Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge, we chose to go with Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge. …

Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
They are pretty close. DonorPerfect, you can actually access all of its functions. Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is promising but is not yet delivering.
I have been in only two other non-profit organizations since my current place of employment. The first system we bought under my decision was Blackbaud eTapestry before it was part of Blackbaud. That purchase was made in 2007 and was still in use when I moved to a larger …
DonorPerfect is exceptional in customer service. If you are unable to create a report, they will do it for you. You are able to add and remove fields as needed. Although not as easy to use initially as RE, it does a great job in being anything you want it to be because of …
NXT is better than DonorPerfect, but it has also been about 15 years since I last used DonorPerfect so I don't know if it's a fair comparison. I had only limited use of NetCommunity, but I do remember they had a tab that did track the emails we sent to donors on each of their …
CiviCRM is an opensource product with very little cost, but it does not offer the level of detail at the constituent or gift levels that we need. Little Green Light is better than CiviCRM (in my opinion), but still doesn't offer the level of complexity that we get from …

Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
RE NXT is robust. However, we have since stopped using it due to changing functionality and astronomical pricing.
We converted to Raiser's Edge and Raiser's Edge NXT by using several platforms to patchwork together the tools we needed/wanted. Blackbaud had everything we wanted in one tool and was tailored to support nonprofits like ours. Today, the Blackbaud database still functions …
I have been using Blackbaud products at various organizations for 20 years, I have some experience with other systems, but have always come on board where Blackbaud was already in place.
Raiser’s Edge is superior to the other products I’ve mentioned. But that doesn’t mean the other products are out of the running. There is a great deal of backend support needed for this product as well as some of the others. Some of them have less functionality, but also less …
The database view component is the best in class, but with an old and outdated interface. The web view is modern looking and slick, but without the powerful capabilities needed for a modern fundraising office. Despite these limitations, the ability to customize is a huge …
We originally selected Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT as it was promised to be a great solution for us. In addition, Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT was supposed to ultimately incorporate many of the features of the database view. Several years later, we have seen very few upgrades …
Blackbaud is a best-in-class system...they have been doing this longer than the competition and only work with nonprofits (unlike Salesforce, which has a more general use for various industries). Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT was easy to use, has the functionality to do a lot …
RE NXT is Raiser's Edge on steroids and with more web base options Little Green Light offers a lot of similar options for a smaller shop with a smaller budget Donor Perfect - used too long ago to fairly compare One Cause - is more helpful for our auction/gala events than events …
In 2018, the organization that I work for will be changing donor database platforms. Over the past 6 months I have evaluated several softwares and will be moving on from all Blackbaud products - including NXT.
As I stated before, RE is the most comprehensive and robust CRM and non-profit software solution on the market, yet perhaps out of the reach of smaller non-profits and schools, thus allowing smaller and more generic programs to occupy the ever-changing fundraising world.
It has been great to move to Raiser's Edge. I've worked with several systems over the years and Blackbaud's products have always turned out to be the best in the nonprofit world. Raiser's Edge was built for nonprofits -- not a business-based CRM shoe-horned for a nonprofit. …
I have used Raiser's Edge for many years and was extremely familiar with the product, when I moved to another nonprofit organization that was using DonorPerfect, I needed to get up to speed on DonorPerfect, including the terminology. DonorPefect does a lot of things that RE …
I used eTapestry back in the 2000s, when it was a relatively well-integrated tool for producing electronic communications and tracking donations. I have found the positive elements of this software to be met in full by the integration between DonorPerfect and Constant Contact, …
