Really like the quickness of the customer service team to answer any questions or solve any problems.
Pros
I really enjoy the ease of use (after some training). We can customize the applications and reports to fit our needs. I am able to run reports or queries to see detailed information on payments, outstanding reports, applications, budget items, etc. Makes my day easier.
Cons
Some of the reports are limited, I wish there was more control over editing. I use Microsoft Access and that reporting system is the best. The reports that Blackbaud Grantmaking can make are simple and basic.

We've stayed with BBG because it allows us to do what we need it to do, and we've found workarounds for tasks it can't do (like forecasting grant budgets).
Pros
Blackbaud Grantmaking meets our needs for grant tracking, online applications and document and relationship management. We like being able to build custom reports and automate reminders, and it's easy to pull up a grant history or run a tax status check.
Cons
However, BBG is not the most user-friendly product in the marketplace. It takes a lot of clicks to get to what you need and we lost some functionality when the platform migrated to SKY View. Advanced features (like changing views and searches to look for multiple criteria) are not intuitive and require staff training. There's a robust library of pre-built reports but it can be difficult to wade through to find what you need. We also have to spend a good bit of time helping grantseekers navigate the online grant portal.

I have had the displeasure of using this platform for several years now and I cannot de-recommend Blackbaud Grantmaking enough. I honestly do not know how they have managed to stay in business for so long and have gotten away with charging such high prices for such a difficult to use platform. I always dread having to use the platform for anything as I end up wasting so much time trying to complete the most simple of tasks. I have used multiple other grantmaking platforms in the past and Blackbaud is by far the worst and most expensive. There are way too many features that make anything you do more complicated than it needs to be. Nothing is cohesive or makes any sense and it is all very clunky. I keep thinking the more I use it the easier it will be to use, but that has not been the case even after several years of daily use. I am consistently dumbfounded at how unintuitive this platform is to use and I have been counting down the days until my contract ends.
Pros
The customer support is very good and knowledgeable (I need to contact them all the time because the product is so difficult to use and they usually resolve my issue fairly quickly)
Cons
Blackbaud Grantmaking is way too clunky of a product and they make doing a very simple task extremely and unnecessarily complicated. A task that would normally take a few minutes on most other grantmaking platforms takes hours on Blackbaud because there are way too many steps involved. They have multiple websites for related tasks (admin portal, application form setup, reviewer portal, etc.) instead of having everything just housed under one website. Lastly, the interface on all of these sites is not cohesive and looks very old and not up to date with modern times.

Overall, I like the product. There are some kinks that are still being worked out and hopefully that will come soon. Tech support gets back to you quickly. There are times that a case takes too long but overall all tech staff have been great to work with.
Pros
It's one of the most robust systems out there. Many options to run reports.
Cons
I feel the product was rolled out before it was completed. I know it's a work in progress but our spellcheck did not work for the first year and just recently was fixed. The document check in/out feature is not designed well. It's designed to check documents out of the system and back in. Too much work and room for error. I feel the pricing is high and not consistent between their clients.
