Data base and lead organization.

Pros

I like the "explore" function on leads. This helps me see my progress through the year.

Cons

I wish we could send quotes and create orders in the lead. I think it would be a nice upgrade to have the software pull recommended customers that i can assign to the lead based on the area of the lead.

Hi Tom, Thank you for your feedback. I have noted your requests and have added them to our list. Thank you for being a Nutshell customer. Amanda

This is my company's first use with CRM system. I have been pleased with the experience.

Reviewed 7 years ago

Great customer service. Good price for small/ start up businesses & sales teams. Great management of timelines for contacting each customer.

Pros

The software makes it very easy to keep track of communication with each of our potential clients. Being able to email directly through the software is very convenient, compared to going back and forth through email. The functions of being able to add indiviuals and companies to each Lead is helpful as well rather than just 1 person/ company. As our sales will usually go through a couple chanels before final sale.

Cons

Mobile app feature is decent. It doesn't have all the functions as online. Such as adding notes or logging activities. This would be helpful when traveling to add at the same time of meeting or directly after, rather than needing to go to actually computer. Previously had some trouble finding the emails logged if I hadn't created the company/person before sending the email, but I believe this has been resolved recently. The stages of Leads doesn't neccesarily apply to our sales steps. We offer service and products and most of our Leads to do not follow the linear nature of stages.

Able to share activities with up to 2 additional users. Price per month per user seemed like a good deal 2 years ago but now price is adding up over the years

Cons

I sometimes cannot get to all my acitivities especially phone calls. It is quite laborious to manually edit each record and create a ne activity for the next day

Pretty good....constant changing makes it difficult to get comfortable

Reviewed 7 years ago

Responsible for everything sales related internally. It is our backbone right now

Pros

Pricing and value; you don't try to put too much into the software. I don't need it to do 1000 things, just 100 things well

Cons

Constant changing has made things difficult. The removal of reports (or poor transfer of reports) with the new reporting structure has made existing data being reported out to management VERY difficult to obtain. You went for form over function with this latest update

Super Easy

Reviewed 5 years ago

If you want to start quickly to have the benefit of a CRM, your team is not that skilled and you're on a budget, then Nutshell is the best solution. Later on, probably you would like to have more sophisticated features, but the worst part of adopting a CRM is always the initial training of the people: with NS you will overcome easily.

Pros

Probably the easiest CRM on the market. Customize, setting up and training is for everyone with average computer skills.

Cons

Not many integrations are available, pretty enough anyway.

Great CRM with just the right number of bells and whistles

Reviewed 5 years ago

We had a great experience with Nutshell. Support helped us a few times when we got stuck and we had things up and running within a day or two with some complicated workflows.

Pros

Nutshell was easier to use than most CRM's and while it didn't have every feature in other products it had everything I needed to management my business sales process.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. There is a bit of a learning curve on setting up flows but that happens with any product.

MR's review

Reviewed 8 years ago

I find it very easy to use and integrate into your sales process. The system seems to be very users friendly as to where to find things. Minimal training was needed based on our companies 'sales flow'. The leads report is also very helpful.

Pros

I like the lead creation and flow, it's nice because it mimics a check list which is helpful to completing my processes with a new prospect.

Cons

The bcc functionality, if I recall from using sales force there were more ways to 'tag to salesforce' via email that were easy while emailing and after the fact. I don't like that calls get logged to your google calendar after you take notes on them. Seems to clutter things up for no reason.

Nutshell review

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

I'm delighted I can look up information on our firm and individuals. We can be very specific about the data we want, and obtaining a significant amount of information with only a few clicks is really straightforward. We can observe a vast volume of data quickly and efficiently.

Cons

When utilizing the system to send emails to several recipients, I'd like to have additional alternatives. I'm now obliged to utilize templates, and I'd rather type everything all at once.

I really like nutshell in that it's appearance is clutter free, easy to understand and easy to use.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

The ease of use. The layout is very functional and easy to use and understand. I love all the stats too.

Cons

We have a huge problem in the fact that when we send emails, a lot of times it puts someone else's name in the spot instead of the account we are under. I have no idea why that happens, but it's done it since we started with Nutshell. It's like it pulls another name from somewhere. Would love for that to be fixed so we can send emails easier. thanks.

Hi Angi, We are happy you like Nutshell. Thanks for letting us know about the email name swap situation. I will let engineering know so that we can investigate it. Thank you! Amanda

This has been an easy, no-nonsense experience for a great price.

Reviewed 7 years ago

Flexible pricing- I can change number of users I am charged for monthly either up or down. We were easily able to figure out how to upload our leads and data into the system. The calendar functions are straight forward. We have experienced almost zero down time. Customer service is very responsive and nice to talk to. I haven't used a lot of the more sophisticated aspects but for a daily caller this is great.

Pros

Price, easy to navigate and add/change contacts. Easy to teach to other sales people and data people who upload our leads into it.

Cons

The phrase "must've been nice" when I don't have dates on that calendar day. Would also like to have an admin view of every user's calendar.

Great Tool!

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Nutshell has tons of great features that help you track progress of leads and keep up with contacts. We've been using it for a couple of years now and it's helped us manage our customer acquisition much better than our previous tool, Highrise.

Cons

The UX could be better. Even after the re-design, it takes a lot of guessing and focus to really know what a certain UI element is for. Needs more contrast and more defined boundaries between sections. Once you get used to it, you're ok. But there is a lot of friction during the process of getting familiar with the platform.

Vendor response

Hey Aaron, Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are happy you are pleased with Nutshell overall. I will discuss the friction you experienced with our dev team to see how we can resolve it. Glad you are a part of the Nutshell community- Amanda

Reviewed 7 years ago

The ability to keep tabs on customer interaction.

Pros

The way that it tracks everything in a customer's file. Every action (as long as it is entered in Nutshell) is tracked by date.

Cons

There is no way that I am aware of to do a keyword search. For example, if I know I talked with a customer about buying balloons, there is no way to do a search for "balloons" and find out what date that was that I talked to him. This feature would make Nutshell nearly perfect for me.

Nutshell lacks some basic printing functions. There is no printer friendly options.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Having nutshell available in the mobile version (on your phone) is great. Being able to collaborate is good.

Cons

You cannot print lists of companies, people, or territories. This seems like a very basic thing. You have to export your information to excel and manipulate the data to print what you want. Then, you have 2 areas (excel and nutshell) that you have to make changes to if you want to keep things updated. Quite disappointed with this.

Hi Wayne, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for your frustrations with the extra printing steps. I have added this to my list of requests and we will keep you updated. Amanda

Nutshell is a great software for the price. There are definitely better CRMs but at a higher cost.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Ease of creating reports, notifications, and ability to rope in multiple users on leads to keep everyone up to date. Love the customization of the sales process as well.

Cons

Exporting reports is not ideal for importing into email marketing solutions and email marketing integrations like MailChimp are fairly weak. (Can only import into a list, not a specific group in a list.) Integrations in general are lacking and may one day be the reason we move to a CRM that better integrations with Hubspot. Connecting data across People, Companies and Leads can also be frustrating - i.e. source does not transfer throughout, tags are different, etc.

Vendor response

Hi Liz, Thanks for your feedback. I am currently overhauling our integrations so that our users get more functionality. I hope to have these available in the next few weeks. Amanda
