references for fundraising software companies and their products

Hi,

My name is Lonnie.  I'm in the process of comparing 5 different fundraising software packages in order to determine which one best serves our needs.  The products are:

• Sage Software's   Sage 50
• Blackbaud's          e-Tapestry
• Blackbaud's          Raiser's Edge
• Brickmill's              Prosper
• Telosa's                 Exceed Premier

If any of you have experience with any of these products (I know there's lots of Raiser's Edge experience out there) and would like to provide a reference, critique, or review of any of these I'd really appreciate it.  The companies themselves seem a bit slow to provide contact information for reference sources.

Thanks,

Lonnie Brown

Dear Lonnie,

You might also try searching the archives.  Many of these systems have been discussed here before.
