What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

That is a unique, colorful tool we can use to represent the power of someone's donation. There are a lot of ways to personalize a TeamRaiser for both the user, and as an event, so you can really make it your own and provide a unique experience for the participants.

Also, the coaching emails, milestones, and availability for participants to send personalize emails to their contacts are great ways to promote pages and our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

It is a lot of work to start each new campaign. There are so many options that have to be checked, rechecked, and processes that have to be done before it can be launched. It's not easy to reskin for different campaigns, and you have to be trained in s-tags to really take advantage of its powerful tools.

Also, when finished with a campaign and archived, I cannot find simple ways to find information from past fundraisers without unarchiving, and it messes things up for current campaigns.

Maybe there is a way to do this, but would be nice if there were simplified ways to do a quick fundraiser for special events that do not require so many bells and whistles, but still look nice and allow people to fund raise. For things like that, we use stuff like Crowdrise.

We've also had problems with teams and individual pages, and the differences between them, and I know that we do not use it to its fullest capability, but things can be confusing to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackbaud TeamRaiser:

Though it can be a hassle to implement, and it takes some learning to not only setup, but run, the more we use it, the more we learn, and are better to cater it to our needs. I do enjoy TeamRaiser, but I wish it took less time to do certain things, and I had more time to learn how to improve the front-end as well as the back-end for our supporters. It has a lot of capability, and can be used for things besides the typical p2p events like running and walking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackbaud TeamRaiser solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to give the tools to raise money to our supporters, and let them make a difference within their circles. We also use it for events to do the same, and have had pretty great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

It has the potential to be highly customizable if you have a web developer who can write custom code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

I have had countless issues with participants navigating the website, registration, and their participant centers. It is so un-user-friendly, that it discourages registrations and donations. It also takes me so long to copy events year after year because of how complicated the site creation process is.

And on top of that, when technical issues occur (Share buttons don't work, mobile compatibility malfunction, etc), 90% of the time, they require you to hire a Blackbaud professional services member to fix it for you.

Please go with another platform for your P2P needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

The Event Management Center is fairly easy to navigate, reports are usually quick and easy to pull, there are a lot of great capabilities with sending customized, personalized emails, getting notifications of new teams, fundraising milestones, and making easy corrections of donation credit. You can easily switch between different events that you manage and also easily access past events that are no longer active. Being able to also pull reports from past events is very handy when assessing historical data and strategizing for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

Little customization at the individual event level for companies that have a very high volume of events. All events are on the same template and don't allow for individualization in almost any aspect. On a prior version of the template my company uses, the WYSIWYG was often buggy which meant that updating or making customizations to a page of your site was difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackbaud TeamRaiser solving and how is that benefiting you?

By and large, it fits the need for having thousands of event sites that are all consistent and can be easily managed event to event because they are all on the same template. Donation processing, recognition, and credit is usually pretty reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

Participant/ donor reports are relatively easy to pull Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

Our volunteers always have issues with the TeamRaiser websites. The customer service is terrible. As an example, on the last day of our donation cycle, all our TeamRaiser pages weren’t working. Turns out that Blackbaud was doing routine maintenance, but they didn’t notify us first! This probably translates to thousands of missed dollars for us. I had so many donors and volunteers call me that day to say they couldn’t donate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackbaud TeamRaiser solving and how is that benefiting you?

TeamRaiser allows us to give our volunteers more fundraising tools, which ultimately brings in more donations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

They helped us create some very nice websites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

Customer support is lacking - they often don't know how to fix the problems we have. If you want anything more than the basics, they'll charge you for every "customization". Many of the features don't line up well with our organization. They don't answer the "ideas" portal, but want you to continue to add ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Blackbaud TeamRaiser:

Great for basic needs or small organizations to simplify constituent records/create websites, but can get complicated/expensive if you need specifics they don't offer as a standard feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackbaud TeamRaiser solving and how is that benefiting you?

TeamRaiser provides us with a platform to house our constituent information. We have some nice websites that are mostly user friendly (although certainly not perfect). Participants of our events are able to have their own fundraising pages that they (and we) can use to track their progress and see other's progress to keep up the competition piece.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

I hate that the website isn't totally compatible with certain web browsers. Some of the features as a participant are not as intuitive as they used to be. There have been changes in the website that have been hard to adjust to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before launching this site, make sure to practice and be completely comfortable with the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

This is a great platform for our teams to use when having events that aren’t staffed by the nonprofit. Often times teams want to have a website for a fundraising event but we aren’t able to provide that through our event website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blackbaud TeamRaiser?

It is completely set up and ran by the team, which means I can’t see the back end to help them when they need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Giving our fundraisers the ability to have a fundraiser website! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
