    Considered Both Products
    Blackbaud
    Chose Blackbaud Online Express
    We selected Online Express because it’s built in integration with Blackbaud. There are better online forms but the need to import into RE is an extra cost and hassle.

    Chose Blackbaud Online Express
    Blackbaud's Online Express is MUCH easier to use than NetCommunity. Having the ability to "drop" donation forms directly into our existing website is a big improvement over NetCommunity's web pages. Only wish Online Express offered the ability to track constituents sign up …

    We were evaluating Salsa Labs but it was less functional for our purposes than OLX. We are thinking of looking into Luminate.

    Chose Blackbaud Online Express
    We selected Online Express because you manage it right in your database. It's easy to use and the price was right.

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    Blackbaud Online Express is the legacy version of the NXT software. Using NXT entirely would be preferable; however, many core features of Online Express are not yet present in NXT. For example, Blackbaud just recently added the tribute function to the new giving form option in …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    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 …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    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 …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    I am a long-time fan of Raiser's Edge and feel there is no competition in the arena that I would even consider. They are the leader in the field and continue to grow and enhance their products and add more to their solution offerings every year. We are currently considering …

    Raiser's Edge NXT is more robust than the other databases I'm familiar with and has more robust query, exporting, and reporting capabilities.

    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. …

    We previously used Exceed Beyond and found it to be too basic for our needs. It lacked the analysis tools, in particular, and did not offer integrated solutions that allow us to keep everything in one system, ie. all our fundraising and accounting functions. We explored …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    I recently started a new position that uses Raiser's Edge 7, as opposed to my previous position that had NXT. I miss a lot of the functionality of NXT, particularly the Analytics. Of the other Blackbaud products I've used (Luminate, NetCommunity), I think NXT is the most …

    We have recently evaluated Salesforce for Non-Profits. We have other departments that need to track vendors, actions, give access to consultants, run analysis, and possibly provide email marketing. At this time NXT does not provide all that Salesforce can. We understand that …

    We haven't used anything other than Raiser's Edge products and services for over 8 years now. However, more and more our staff is complaining about Raiser's Edge. As a result, I will be shopping for what else may suit our needs better starting in the new year.

    QuickBooks is not a CRM, but as an accounting system, it helped us track donors and vendors alike. However, it is not dedicated for relationship management with donors. They did have a non-profit version, but it was only slightly different from the regular version. It mostly …
