    Considered Both Products
    Blackbaud
    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    Bloomerang is much more user-friendly and intuitive. We switched back to Bloomerang.

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is superior to both Sage Fundraising 50 and Bloomerang, which are both very different products but combine what I like about both databases. It offers both the online cloud-based database options and ease of use and the database view which offers the …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    We used Bloomerang, which is similarly easy to access and view, but has much more limited capability with reporting options and segmenting lists for email marketing

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    RE NXT is robust. However, we have since stopped using it due to changing functionality and astronomical pricing.

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    I was not a decision-maker in selecting either product. Boomerang was an excellent cost-effective option for a smaller nonprofit with less sophisticated needs. Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT would not have been a fit in that environment, and Boomerang is not robust enough for my …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    I would say the other products were easier to use, could manipulate reports more, and were more robust for a small shop.

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    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 …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    Companies that built their products with a user-end web-view experience in mind, as opposed to re-imagining the database in the cloud, seem to have a slight advantage with more intuitive interaction for the user. Raiser's Edge, though, has been the gold standard in fundraising …

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge 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.

    Chose Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT
    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.

    Bloomerang
    Chose Bloomerang CRM
    Bloomerang was a better choice for this particular nonprofit because their conversion team was thorough and helpful, customer support was good, and the system was easy for staff to learn and implement, especially in comparison with the experience of nonprofits who have used …

    Chose Bloomerang CRM
    I love being able to see when I log in what my donor retention is and what percentage I have achieved in my fundraising goal. It is extremely beneficial to know how engaged each donor and volunteer is with my organization and to have all interactions and notes with those …
