    Blackbaud
    The look of the reports and the platform is great. It's easy to lookup vendors and find some information. I wish the flow to navigate around the system was more intuitive. We tend to do more going back and forth to move to another vendor. It must be an easier solution. But that's the learning curve piece we need.

    Our role as treasurer changes every year, so having a tool that is so easy to use and has such great technical support will make the process of transitioning so much easier. Additionally, I am much more confident that the records are accurate. Live Chat is very helpful. Technical concerns and business options for how to best use MoneyMinder can be addressed by the support staff.

    Cons
    Blackbaud
    • Queries is not fully set up yet and could use more functionality within the reporting structure
    • Recurring payments do not seem to be moving forward and we have several annuities that run quarterly
    • Queue appears to be going away and report scheduling is coming, however, you cannot send to users outside of your organization. We run so many monthly reports that we used to have emailed out via queue that now we have to run them manually and save them to a sharepoint site for our campus partners to access.
    • A little concerned with printing checks once database view goes away since the one time I tried it the printing margins were totally off.
    • Integration of papersave products and cash receipts.

    • The set-up was a bit confusing until I figured out I could match the budget to the categories.
    • I was intimidated by the idea of having to learn how to use a software program to fulfill my duties.
    • "All I dislike about the budget tool is the graphic interface. I find the indentations of the categories, subcategories, etc. to be hard to read."

    BB seems to forcing changes on customers at a faster rate. This company needs stability because it is understaffed in accounting. There isn't time to drop everything and work up workarounds or even try to judge effects. There also isn't the time to find a replacement suite unless things get really bad.

    I don't have much to compare it to but if I speak of just the reporting options; sometimes there are so many options I spend more time finding the "perfect" report when a basic report with minimal columns is needed. But I know I can always add to the report if asked.

    No one is perfect, but this support team is as close as it gets. They respond promptly and if the person I'm talking to doesn't have the answer they find someone that does. They also provide documentation and/or resources to support their responses to my questions. The online chat is awesome and usually all I need

    Online Training
    Blackbaud
    The training is semi helpful if you have already been in the system. If you are completely new it does make it kind of hard since chart of accounts will be different among organizations. For a general idea it is helpful. One complaint on training would be that as FENXT is attempting to go fully to the web solution there were often times things that were moved or changed that even the trainer was unaware of and had to adapt on the fly.

    The implementation can be easy depending on how familiar you are with Blackbaud products. It is cloud based so there is not a need for IT involvement but you do need to know your business requirement.

    Prior to using Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT, a financial software package offered by Sage was used. Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT is much more user friendly, and integrates with the fundraising software used by the Foundation, Raiser's Edge. The integration has eliminated duplicate entry of donor information into the financial software. In addition, the add-in tools provided by Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT make journal entries a much more efficient process.

    When we switched Treasurers, there was a lack of consistency in how records were managed, and historical funds were misplaced. I could go on, but in a nutshell, it was a nightmare for records. Quickbooks is more difficult to understand and use. I also based in on reviews from other users compared to how they liked this software versus the other.
