Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	It works okay if you have a large budget and don't have the technical experience on your staff to set up NSPS appropriately. It probably also works better as a purely development-driven database; trying to track multiple departments with very different goals in the same database is challenging.

Cons	No answers on this topic	Big Investment It's a sales program with a donation management overlay so it has some troubles around reporting. Incentivized Dustin Alexander Associate Director of Indvidual Giving Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Support for the product is horrible; often support will have you bouncing between Blackbaud support and Salesforce support and it's very rare either are able to find simple solutions. Most of the time the solutions almost always cost money and hiring consultants which, for a smaller organization, means not being able to achieve proper solutions.
