Also, it integrates with Outlook what make things easy. > > **Cons**: When you make the migration, not all the data is migrated correctly, and for a lot of things you need to be doing in the database view and others are only possible on the webview. > > It is a great system to manage not only donations but also communications with donors. A great way to view the information you have and make it easy to plan for campaigns. Also task management tool is easy to use and integrated with the main forms of communication. ----- ### "If you love complex platforms, this one is for you." — 3.0/5 > **Michelle** | *February 11, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT is a massive platform that offers a lot of functionality for charities and non profits > > **Cons**: This program is unnecessarily complex. As someone who considers themselves to be fairly technologically proficient, I found the back end of this program very complicated. Not intuitive at all - which is unfortunate, when so many programs these days are taking advantage of AI learning. This program is literally so complex, you have to take tests in order to take training for certain aspects of the program. And the costs are exorbitant - especially when you consider this platform is for non-profits/charities. > > I quite disliked this program. While it did offer a lot of functionality, I ultimately suggested we go with a different charity CRM platform, that more people in our organization would be able to use ----- ### "BBRENXT to the rescue" — 4.0/5 > **Jayne** | *March 29, 2025* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: As they continue to evolve access and manipulation of data will be a great experience. > > **Cons**: It’s only about 60% currently with the features from RE. > > Very good can’t wait to see what it’ll be like with more features. ----- ### "Useful but outdated" — 4.0/5 > **Kim** | *May 16, 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Useful for tracking donors for fundraising purposes and managing gifts. Can integrate with enrollment system to track alumni and parents of alumni. > > **Cons**: Clunky and not intuitive to use. Design is outdated. ----- ### "Robust w/a learning curve" — 4.0/5 > **Amy** | *April 6, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Raiser’s Edge NXT is a powerhouse for nonprofits that have outgrown simple spreadsheets or basic databases. It’s built to handle high-volume fundraising and complex donor relationships, which is where it really shines. While it has a steeper learning curve than some of the "newer" platforms, the depth of data you can track is hard to beat. > > **Cons**: The "Hybrid" Setup: It’s frustrating that the system is split between the modern Web View and the old Database View. You frequently have to jump back and forth between two different interfaces to finish a single task. Complexity: The learning curve is steep. It isn’t intuitive for new staff, and you really need a dedicated "power user" to keep the data clean. Hidden Costs: It’s already expensive, but many essential features and integrations feel like "add-ons" that cost extra. Reporting: While the data is deep, pulling a simple, clean report for a board meeting is surprisingly difficult without exporting everything to Excel first. > > Raiser’s Edge NXT is a heavy-duty tool that is excellent for managing complex donor relationships and high-volume fundraising. The "NXT" web interface is modern and makes day-to-day tasks like checking donor records or tracking gift officer progress much easier, especially on the go. However, the experience is hampered by the fact that the system isn't fully modernized. Having to switch back to the old "Database View" for advanced tasks feels disjointed and makes the learning curve much steeper for new team members. It is a reliable, secure "source of truth" for your data, but you have to be willing to put in the time to master its complexities. It’s a great fit for larger organizations with dedicated database staff, but might be overkill for smaller shops. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/198986/blackbaud-raiser-s-edge-nxt?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/198986/blackbaud-raiser-s-edge-nxt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
