Raiser's Edge NXT
- We use queries on a daily basis and I love how much information you can easily pull in queries.
- Being able to store so much information on donor records is a huge advantage
- Batching and processing of gifts is extremely easy.
- Having the mobile app has been a huge benefit for our fundraisers because they are now able to look up basic information on donors to prepare for a meeting instead of having to call me from the road to look up information on donor records.
- We did not expect to utilize the email marketing tool in Online Express as often as we have and it has been a pleasant surprise.
- I would like to see us use the events module more.
- Since we have a smaller staff, I worry we are spending too much on Raiser's Edge since we are not able to use it to its fullest capacity.
- The program itself is very user friendly, especially if you have previous experience with donor databases.
- You are easily able to pull very detailed reports that can be helpful in identifying lapsed donors or donors who have a higher giving capacity.
- Being able to access the Raiser's Edge app on your phone or tablet is very helpful for getting information about a donor on the go to help prepare you for a meeting.
- I would like to see the dashboard tab improved a little bit to give more detailed information and also for it to be slightly more accurate than it currently is.
- We have one team member who uses a Microsoft Surface Pro as her work computer and she has run into quite a few compatibility issues, so that is something that could be improved.
