## Reviews

### "FE and RE are standards for managing your data" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 7, 2018* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: RaisersEdge is easy to use and store data. RaisersEdge has vast capabilities and reliability. FE makes the process of accounting and check printing very easy. Both products integrate well with other software
> 
> **Cons**: Even though RaisersEdge has many different tools - you may not be likely to use many of them regularly. Instead I find I reuse the same tools and end up bypassing a lot of what I could do, instead sticking to the essentials. Those extra functionalities just are not that useful to me
> 
> RaisersEdge allows my organization to keep track of tens of thousands of individual records. Without these we wouldn't be able to interact successfully and efficiently with our clients, donors and partners. Financial Edge allows us to produce accounting reports and maintain our large assets.

### "Financial Edge NXT" — 4.0/5

> **Stephanie** | *November 19, 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We really like the drill down features in general ledger account details. We also like the Excel Add in functions for importing from spreadsheets and other software systems.
> 
> **Cons**: The lack of consistent queries available in NXT has been a challenge.
> 
> We have been using Financial Edge and now FE NXT for years. We find that it has a user-friendly environment.

### "FE- no thanks\!" — 3.0/5

> **Angie** | *January 19, 2018* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I guess if not being "too complex" is a pro, that would be it for Financial Edge. It is a simple product and doesn't have too many bells and whistles so its pretty easy to pick up on.
> 
> **Cons**: Hmm where to being....&#10;I will preface this by saying that our implementation of FE was a nightmare. They had people leaving the company left and right and in our 3 month implementation and data conversion, we were passed along to 3 different Project managers. Because of this we were playing a constant game of catch up and I don't think we were ever really given a good training of how to use the product. Also, employee support is HORRIBLE with this product. Blackbaud parcels out their support to 3rd party companies and we were working with Zobrio. They were of no help to us. The prduct doesnt intergrate with our other platforms well, so importing info in to our GL is a process that could be made much easier. We also used them for payroll for a while which was an absolute nightmare. Our W-2's were wrong due to wrong info being imported during our data conversion. We also spent many late nights working on payroll issues in the program and again, had no response when calling Zobrio or Blackbaud. ( Blackbaud did get back to us once and worked well with us, but it was quite an undertaking to even get to a person at Blackbaud. The accounting side of the software is probably the best, but overall, I am sure there are much better accounting programs out there.
> 
> We were pushed into FE after our original program, Fundware, was "sunsetting". In hindsight, we should've researched other programs before settling with this one.

### "Ease into finances Great Program" — 4.0/5

> **Laura** | *November 14, 2017* | Philanthropy | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This product is an excellent way to store all of your financial information for any program you run and be able run reports regarding the break down.
> 
> **Cons**: Running reports in queries can sometimes be a bit difficult to get a hang of when stating off as a beginner but the support you receive with any inquiries makes it easy to use once you are accostomed to the program.
> 
> Overall this is an excellent program which makes it easy to track your progress.

### "Blackbaud for Nonprofits" — 4.0/5

> **Joanie** | *May 11, 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is perfect for our organization. It continues to implement updated features to make our jobs easier.
> 
> **Cons**: The expense tracking sometimes appears to be offline and causes our staff a good amount of time to enter their expenses.
> 
> Overall this is a great product. We are very pleased with Blackbaud and do not plan on changing vendors any time soon.
