The dashboard design is lovely and, after a bit of a learning curve, can be used to display some really helpful information for fundraisers. > > **Cons**: This is not yet a completed product and shouldn't be used without the RE 7 database view. RE NXT has all the basic functionality needed for fundraisers to use exclusively, but not database admin staff. A lot of gift processing functionality, and even reporting fields, have not been moved over from RE 7. For any detailed reporting using OR or NOT, custom attributes, or gift amounts requires one to go back into database view to use queries/exports/canned reports. > > Raiser's Edge NXT has so much potential and is a worthwhile product as long as you have a team that's comfortable using both web and database view. As a non-profit CRM, it's still hard to beat - especially for organizations with a large donor base and fundraising capacity. ----- ### "More than a CRM, a complete work for a non-profit." — 4.0/5 > **Elias** | *5 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It works almost as a CRM, and it is possible to register every interaction with the donors. 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** | *11 February 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 ----- ### "Great platform with robust and user friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Theresa** | *22 December 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The user friendly and intuitive platform, searchable in any data point, Security of the payment processing gateways, the way you can manage all aspects fo your data, from data entry, gift processing, donor officers, and the ability to tag and maintian informations between users to ensure complete coverage and donor frontline importance. The ability to create personal and departmental dashboard reports on the fly is great for on-the-go data access, and to create large, data-intensive reports for forecasting and drilling down into each campaign. I have used quite a few different donor management platforms, this is a robust but user friendly software. > > **Cons**: I think the cons would be the cost, it is a little cost prohibative for those smaller agencies, who could definitely use this product with all of it's tools. > > As a previous user of multiple Donor CRM's I find this newer version to be comprehensive and robust enough to manage large scale operations as well as smaller organizations. ----- ### "A Smart Investment for Growing Development Efforts" — 5.0/5 > **Lidia** | *11 July 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I love most about Raiser’s Edge NXT is how intuitive and efficient it is for managing donor relationships. The cloud-based platform makes it easy to access data anytime, anywhere, and the dashboards give a clear, real-time snapshot of fundraising progress. I especially appreciate how seamlessly it tracks giving history and donor engagement, helping us make more informed, strategic decisions. It truly streamlines development work and keeps our team focused on mission-driven goals. Running reports is super easy, too\! > > **Cons**: The biggest downside of Raiser’s Edge NXT is the cost. While it offers powerful tools and robust functionality, it can be a significant investment—especially for smaller nonprofits with limited budgets. That said, the value it provides in donor management and reporting is substantial, but the price point may be a barrier for some organizations. > > Overall, my experience with Raiser’s Edge NXT has been very positive. The platform is incredibly powerful when it comes to donor management, reporting, and strategic fundraising. It’s user-friendly, accessible from anywhere, and offers valuable insights that help guide our development efforts. While the cost can be a challenge, the tools and support it provides have truly elevated our fundraising operations. It’s a comprehensive solution that helps us stay organized, build stronger relationships with donors, and ultimately further our mission. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1982/the-raisers-edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/1982/the-raisers-edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
