It has helped me to perform the daily functions of my job with limited interruptions. > > **Cons**: I haven’t been able to understand the allocation module, and so we are still doing our investments manually. The guide that is provided seems to work more for people who have an overall understanding of how it should work. > > I like Financial Edge NXT and I couldn’t imagine doing my job without it\! ----- ### "Review of Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT" — 5.0/5 > **Meredith** | *12 June 2023* | Libraries | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blackbaud being a Non-Profit Financial accounting system works well for us in the non-profit/ government sector as a library. They truly understand the needs non-profits have and work to create solutions for those problems and needs. Blackbaud is easy to use, and easy to train new employees with. The training Blackbaud provides can not compare to many other products. There are 20+ classes that can be taken with an online instructor or through E-learning . This training has helped us implement this software across multiple locations and make sure our staff was prepared for their duties within Blackbaud. > > **Cons**: As a government/non-profit agency we are required to use Purchase orders. Blackbaud's purchase order system is not as user friendly as the rest of the software. They are working to move the purchase order system to the WebView and we have been told it will make several changes to make the PO portion easier to use. We also need to be able to multi level approvals on an invoice and the solution Blackbaud was able to provide until they get everything in WebView didn't work for our organization, as we are required to have a pre-audit statement on all purchase orders and invoices that are paid > > Our overall experience has been great. Tech support and our implementation team were fantastic to help us get everything in place and have been a great resource as we have continued to learn the program. Having a solution that is not installed on the network , but on the cloud has given us more flexibility. And information is shown in a more user friendly display to easily see data all in one place. ----- ### "Happy convert from Quickbooks Online" — 5.0/5 > **Rebekah** | *6 August 2018* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integration with RE is the main reason we converted from QB Online. It was a great decision, as it has increased efficiency and reduced errors. > > **Cons**: It was somewhat challenging for our accounting staff to get used to, since they aren't RE users, but the training package is quite good. > > If you use RE, definitely integrate and use FE\! ----- ### "Overall a good product\!" — 4.0/5 > **Amy** | *21 December 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use this product primarily for Accounts Payable. Setting up vendors and entering invoices is very easy and the system design is easy to use. I also like how there is a new Payment Assistant feature that Blackbaud has partnered with Repay, and we have more options to pay our vendors, such as ACH or debit card, in addition to checks. Creating and running reports are also pretty easy. I also like how you can link to Aatrix for 1099 printing. Blackbaud University is also a very helpful tool. > > **Cons**: Setting up the print options for AP checks was a lot of trial and error. Even though Blackbaud has their own forms you can order from, I found I still had issues with the check printing alignment. It is also hard to see where you would get support (live person or chat) if you need it. > > My overall review of Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is a positive one. Since it has upgraded to a cloud-based platform it has gotten more user friendly. ----- ### "Great Fund Accounting Software" — 4.0/5 > **Calyn** | *7 June 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The cost of this software verses the others in the market is very affordable. The implementation went very smooth and it has been working very well. Support is usually really quick and helpful to get problems solved. > > **Cons**: The reporting functions are time consuming to set up but most reports can be built to suit your needs and work great after the initial build. > > We moved from QuickBooks to BlackBaud because we needed a fund accounting program and it has performed well for our organization. Our department heads now have access to the site and can see their financials more than just once a month which is game changing for financial decisions. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1981/blackbaud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1981/blackbaud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
