Raiser's Edge NXT is a much better product than the standard RE that we had in the past. The function of RE7 was very bulky, cumbersome to operate, didn't have an ease of use, and overall was something I didn't look forward to using. Raiser's Edge NXT looks better, works, …
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 …

Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
We use both NXT and the original Raiser's Edge. They both have their pros and cons. Original (database view) has more robust querying available, but the display is awful and it takes a lot of hunting to find the information you need. NXT is more streamlined and efficient, but …
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
I have been a Raiser's Edge user since 2008 and a NXT user since Sept. 2020. NXT's added web view is great (though limited) for fundraisers. However my team (who processes all monetary donations and all donation-related financial reports & analytics), still primarily uses …
Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT does not compare to the back end of Raiser's Edge. There is no way to get specific information, run advanced queries and reports, and run merges through Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT. Despite this, Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is easier for new users to …
I have used Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT, Raisers, and LO as well. I do not do as much in LO as I do in the other two software's. I was unaware that they were so many programs offered. I use Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT and Raisers more because it does what I need it to do when I …
I came into this job and learned Raiser's Edge. We were a relatively early adopter of Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT, so I have not had experience using any other products like this. In previous jobs, I used specific designed software (think insurance entry and claims) and this …
Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is definitely cleaner, more streamlined, and more modern than other Blackbaud offerings. That said, it still has a ways to go in terms of full-functionality when compared to the other, more complete CRMs. I did not have a choice in the selection of …
We switched from Jenzabar which was a huge pain point for us. Our IT department had to write our reports but they did not have the capacity to manage everything by themselves. Jenzabar was able to store our data but retrieving it was a huge challenge even for someone with a …
My first choice would be Blackbaud RE7 over NXT. I believe firmly that the regular database is still much more capable in terms of data capturing and management. However, from a data visualization standpoint, NXT takes the win. I also believe that Luminate Online still holds a …
NXT is superior in the ease of access for those that travel. The NXT email feature is easier to design and use than NetCommunity. The donation forms and registration forms on NXT are not yet up to customizable as NetCommunity.
In other roles I’ve used Salesforce and Bloomerang, both of which were great systems and had their own pros. Blackboard Raiser’s Edge NXT is by far my favorite, mostly due to it’s limitless potential. NXT can meet you were you are whatever size organization and can grow with …
NXT has a more user-friendly interface than RE and CRM. I have found that the gift officers are much more comfortable with NXT than the others. When recording and displaying donor data and giving, I think NXT is far more potent than either Salsa or Salesforce's Nonprofit …
The first two are solutions offered by Blackbaud as well and integrate sort of. There is a lot of work there that could help get these products to talk to each other much better. Veracross is a competitor that offers a large amount of alternatives, but their package is an all …
This is the only database I have used that is web-based connected to a classic database version. You must have Raisers Edge classic to have RENXT so it is an investment and commitment to your fundraising efforts. The interface is very helpful for prospect/portfolio management …
Raiser's Edge is far superior to eTapestry in terms of queries, reporting, depth of data, analytics, and ease of use. eTapestry is a great product for small shops but our organization simply out grew it as our need to enhance our fundraising efforts, increase the channels …
