Development and Events Specialist Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful Reports" March 21, 2018 4.0 Pros The reports and dashboards are very helpful in providing a snapshot of fundraising efforts. The software is intuitive and easy to use. It's also helpful to be able to log on remotely and work off-site. Cons The price is high, especially for smaller nonprofits. There is not as much functionality as Financial Edge. Review Source RS Rebekah S. Chief Development Officer Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy convert from Quickbooks Online" August 6, 2018 5.0 If you use RE, definitely integrate and use FE! 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. Review Source MS Maree S. Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very pleased" November 19, 2021 5.0 Pros Integration was relatively easy, but we also had a team that coordinated this effort. Cons Really - we have no issues with the sotware. Review Source YZ Yanli Z. Finance Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Do them all" July 19, 2016 4.5 Pros Blackbaud provides on stop service including software, training, data backup, system upgrade Cons I do not have anything I like least yet, so far it meets our requirement of low cost, nice reporting system, read only user access with very reasonable price Review Source DH Denise H. Philanthropy Used the software for: ### "Total Accounting Solution!" January 6, 2015 5.0 Pros Blackbaud is an all-inclusive accounting solution that allows us to truly measure our productivity and profitability. It is easy to use and has features that allow my accounting records to grow as my business grows! From sales to training and customer support, I have found Blackbaud employees helpful, kind, and knowledgeable! Cons To this point, I have not found anything that I do not like. Review Source SU Stephanie U. Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "FE and all" October 30, 2017 4.0 Pros Easy to use and similar style across all Blackbaud products. Many different features and functionality of the product line. Cons Reporting can use some upgrades. We are needing to build crystal reports for some of the items we need to report on Review Source JK Julia K. Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Over 11 years of learning, growing and delivering with Financial Edge." February 2, 2015 4.5 Pros I absolutely love the depth and breadth of services offered by Blackbaud, especially Financial Edge. As our organization has grown, Financial Edge has continued to provide the level of functionality and service we have needed to take ourselves to the next level. My favorite part, though, is that Financial Edge is always improving. As we have grown, it has grown. Cons This is a tough question. I would say that integration of products is not as easy as one might think or hope it would be. Thankfully, the support staff is great and helps you make it through to the end! Review Source JW Jenny W. Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Financial Edge - a win-win in my book. " November 18, 2014 4.5 Pros Our auditor sometimes complains that we cannot delete journal entries. However, I have found it very helpful that the full entry of transactions, right or wrong, is available to me. Also, since we have moved to the cloud, we do not have to deal with all the updates, and our data is automatically backed up. Cons I would really like some simple things, like keeping the clear date of items in the banks/accounts payable to stay the same once I set it, because I show the clear date for all of my items as the end of the month no matter what day it clears the bank. Review Source RM Rhonda M. CFO Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Beginning Implementation" September 22, 2016 4.0 Pros We are beginning our implementation with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT and Financial Edge NXT. The software is easy to use and has amazing information, all with a very robust web based GUI. Cons Blackbaud has recently purchase Smart Tuition as a student billing software. We have implemented Smart Tuition and are having issues with conversion from our existing older software. It bills at a summary level instead of at a transaction level. Our hope is that Blackbaud will review this and update the software with a later release. Review Source EV Emily V. Development Services Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use " August 28, 2018 5.0 Pros There is a lot of training available for Financial Edge. It integrates smoothly with Raiser's Edge and it is easy to teach new people without having to do ALL of the training. Cons If something is not set up properly at the beginning it's a lengthy process to correct. It is very possible to correct and Blackbaud is very helpful. Review Source AS Arturo S. ACCOUNTANT Philanthropy Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Very intuitive based on the demo and initial research our company did." February 13, 2018 4.0 Hope to get more information during the BBCON this year. I plan on attending! Pros Advanced General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable Banking functionalities are most beneficial for our company. Cons A bit costly for a company of our size, but we are definitely considering and exploring the feasibility of implementing this year. Review Source ALD Adjoh Lucie D. Assistante commerciale Building Materials Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Logiciel de gestion" October 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Système de gestion de l'apprentissage et d'instruction, formation des leaders sur le marché . Il aide aussi les apprenants dans les collèges et universités. Cons Je ne trouve pas d'inconvénients, l'utilisateur va témoigner de son utilité Review Source JM Josh M. Director of Advancement Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Accounting made easy!" September 25, 2018 5.0 Would highly recommend for functionality and integration to other software programs for non-profits. Pros Integration with the Raiser’s Edge is excellent and has really streamlined our organization’s processes. General ledge functionality is easy and intuitive for the user. Cons Only chat support is included at no cost. With the complexity of the software, phone support would be invaluable and really should be included at no additional cost. Review Source SE Stephen E. CFO Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Positive Experience" December 4, 2015 5.0 Pros It does what I need it to. The AP system is easy to navigate and allows for ease when cutting checks. The Cash Receipts module allows for easy recording of deposits. The General Ledger module is easy to navigate and report from. Cons Downloading reports. I do not like the way that reports download or the format when exporting to Excel. The uploading features are good, but again, it would be better if you didn't have to use a separate portal. Review Source TB Theresa B. Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Love, love, love Financial Edge!" November 8, 2014 4.5 Pros The software is easy to use, has so many features, integrates with Raiser's Edge, PaperSave, and so many other products. The vendor is awesome and the online chat and in-person support is excellent! Knowledgebase is an online tool for searching for tips, tricks, solutions, etc. Cons Sometimes the report building using the visual chart organizer is a little bit tedious, but I am still new at this, so it may just be the learning curve for me. Review Source NY Nancy Y. Database Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: ### "Easy to use" October 5, 2017 5.0 Love It. Pros That I can use it anywhere, from any computer. It is easy to use and the what's new let's me know when new stuff happens. Cons Takes too long for all of the things I need to be developed. I don't use FE NXT, I just use RE NXT. Review Source JJ Jennifer J. Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud based software with your needs as their top priority" May 22, 2017 5.0 Blackbaud is very customer focused. It is important to Blackbaud that the client voices are heard. Every year they hold a conference that not only addresses the software but also gives us tools that we need as non-profits. Pros I love the fact that I can easily extract data. I also like that I can setup account restrictions and distributions to make sure data is correct and accurate, not to mention it saves time! Cons Currently, accounts receivable and payroll are not in the cloud. I look forward to when all the modules are in NXT. Review Source KY Karen Y. Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Mostly use the GL module for input/reports but have access to others " October 16, 2014 4.5 Pros Being a Windows-based product, there's a lot of flexibility in the info you can enter in your batches. It also gives greater flexibility in creating reports. I mainly do input on the GL but have to use the other modules to look up information. They're very easy to maneuver around in. Cons I wish you could use the up and down arrows in the batches. Review Source tB terri B. Used the software for: ### "FE2016RCA2" October 5, 2016 4.0 Switched 2 years ago from fundware as it was no longer supported. Had Raisers edge so it was a natural transition. Pros talks well with other blackbaud products Cons not too customizable Review Source SV Stacey V. Information Systems Manager Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing" May 30, 2017 5.0 Pros One pro of FE NXT is that you are not having to use an old clunky software anymore. You can use FE NXT from any location. Cons On thing that I like least is that not all the features are up and running yet. But Blackbaud is always improving. I would like to get away from using Citrix. Review Source LF LeKeshia F. Development Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Financial Edge NXT Review" July 16, 2019 3.0 Pros Helps to accurately input and manage donations. Cons Running reports can be difficult when wanting different information to show. Review Source WK Wendy K. Used the software for: ### "FE NXT is the Best" April 14, 2017 5.0 Love it!! It is very versatile. You can do custom reports. It's very easy to use. You won't have to worry about updating your software- it's done for you! Review Source CD Claire D. Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Financial Edge grows with us" October 28, 2014 4.5 Pros The accounting system can be easily expanded to cover additional modules (GL, AP, AR, Cash Receipts, Fixed Assets, etc.) and the system itself can be easily modified to meet additional funder reporting needs for tracking various fields of data. Cons It's expensive, but worth it if you can find a good financing deal! Review Source wC woohyuk C. senior accountant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It helps me visualize our financial data in more productive way. " February 14, 2018 5.0 Pros Each department manager can access to the software and see their budget to actual report and be able to track their purchase order and invoices. Cons I think it need to expand their main server to boost up the speed. When i open a few different windows, it slows the performance. It definitely needs to improve. Review Source TS Tiffany S. Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "This system works, but it could be improved." December 23, 2014 4.0 Pros I like being able to save queries and the access to help through the website knowledgebase and chatting. Cons I'm unable to reassign an invoice to any check. I cannot sort the Vendor terms. The Vendor terms do not have a date option. Many Vendors have their invoices due on one date every month.
