5.0

Josh: My name is Josh. I am the founder and CEO, and I give Blackbaud NXT three out of five stars. For more reviews like this click below. Before using Blackbaud, the organization was using spreadsheets to keep track of the data, and this wasn't a very good use of time. They moved to Blackbaud for a robust fundraising platform. The reasons that this software was chosen was because it was the industry leader at the time it was chosen, that it offers a very robust fundraising platform, and that it offers a wide variety of features for the users to follow up with their clients and also to track donations of all different amounts and types. Because of how robust Blackbaud is, it is a harder one to integrate into the business and a harder one to implement, just because of the robust nature and the amount of fields and data that can be transported over to Blackbaud. [inaudible 00:01:04] one else who's in the market for a donation management system, I highly recommend looking at all the different options. Even though Blackbaud might be the premier leader, it's not meant for organizations of all sizes, especially for smaller organizations that can sometimes don't need all the robust features that big organizations do. There have come on the market, since that decision was made, a lot of players that we wish we would have been able to consider at the time. Just looking at price and looking at the feature comparison and where people see their organization growing within the next three years.
