Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

My review of Financial Edge NXT

Opmerkingen: I like Financial Edge NXT and I couldn’t imagine doing my job without it!

Pluspunten:

I like that this software is for finance and accounting professionals. It has helped me to perform the daily functions of my job with limited interruptions.

Minpunten:

I haven’t been able to understand the allocation module, and so we are still doing our investments manually. The guide that is provided seems to work more for people who have an overall understanding of how it should work.

Great Fund Accounting Software

Opmerkingen: We moved from QuickBooks to BlackBaud because we needed a fund accounting program and it has performed well for our organization. Our department heads now have access to the site and can see their financials more than just once a month which is game changing for financial decisions.

Pluspunten:

The cost of this software verses the others in the market is very affordable. The implementation went very smooth and it has been working very well. Support is usually really quick and helpful to get problems solved.

Minpunten:

The reporting functions are time consuming to set up but most reports can be built to suit your needs and work great after the initial build.

The product you are sold is probably not what you will actually get

Opmerkingen: Our experience with FENxt has really been terrible. It is soooo slow. Features we were promised at implementation do not work or have never been rolled out (where is A/R??). It does not sync with our bill pay system (we were told it would!) so bills have to be manually entered into two systems. It takes a very long time for support and usually the ineffective solution is that we should clear our cookies or history, or we are sent something to read. One of our databases has had problems from the start. Every excel report has to be reformatted to be useful.

Pluspunten:

It is good to have project tracking capabilities and to have the ability to work from home if needed.

Minpunten:

The sales team will give you a lot of promises that are not reality. The biggest overall problems are how slow the system is, and features we were promised that never happened.

Aid me connect

Pluspunten:

This is the most advanced tool for accounting and documentation of all financial transaction an organization should have. Easy to used

Minpunten:

Has limited features this make it a bit second option for multipurpose organization

User review

Opmerkingen: Has been positive but still learning the system since "go-live" migration about 7 months ago.

Pluspunten:

Migration from previous version was seamless along with BB team to assist where needed. Ability to "copy previous" is very helpful. Helpful training opportunities via on-demand or BB U taught courses. BB support is usually always quick to reply & direct when needed.

Minpunten:

Understanding parameters that need to be set (i.e. post, etc.) can be confusing. BB support does not seem to have access to your org file when issues arise...that was a bit shocking. I would think behind the scenes that would be able to access & walk through critical problems that need to be addressed. I realize it may be a data security issue but having to add a BB staff as user seems akward.
