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.

Vendor response

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

It is a must and sales.

Reviewed a year ago

It makes my job a lot easier no more Crappy sales reports the only thing I put in Nutshell is the skinny and what happened the time before.

Pros

It is very easy to navigate through. Notes are very important when making another call back to a customer. You can review what was said what was done this way you can have a conversation start up instantaneously.

Cons

The only thing I wish nutshell would have is sorting customers by ZIP Code. And make it that it could be downloaded and print it out.

We are moving to a different solution that is more stable.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

It is fairly easy to use. It is a good started CRM. How they handle companies and leads is well done.

Cons

It is not very stable. The software would often freeze on us and it would often crash. It did not have an email directly from the CRM option which would have been nice.

Vendor response

Hi Dave, Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to see you go. We do have options to email directly from the CRM and are happy to explore these with you. Thanks, Amanda

Not a bad CRM Software

Reviewed 8 years ago

We have used Nutshell for about 3 years now. There have been some good improvements during this time that have made it an overall user-friendly and beneficial software. You can see all activities occur in real time, and Nutshell makes it very easy to keep track of sales and communication with customers and vendors. We were also able to connect this with our accounting software, Zoho Books - a huge plus. There are just some minor annoyances and general glitches that prevent me from being able to give the software a full 5 stars.

easy to use mostly. Alot of reports that can be made to individual specifications.

Cons

Some areas it is too comber sum. The end time doesn't always change when start time is made on scheduling. When you save a document, you can't save it in Nutshell, you have to upload it into it.

some UI inconsistencies cause confusion in sales team, but overall easy to use.

Reviewed 7 years ago

Ease of use compared to a zoho or salesforce. Value for price/head.

Pros

Colorful and easy to navigate - easy for legacy and new sales associates to use and get something out of it.

Cons

Search is terrible. If you don't know exactly what you're searching for, far too few results populate to make good decisions. Should be able to type query, press enter and get a list 20 results or more. If you have 12 leads with a company, the one you're looking for might not show up. Also how you enter info - like adding a person to a lead. if you don't add their role or notes when creating the person, you can't add it later unless you exit the lead and update the person on their profile page - this should be an option in the pop-up quick edit window.

Great tool to help solve many challenges - needs a focused team to work well

Reviewed 5 months ago

A big, complex and complicated tool that can be used to solve many problems, but needs a big team effort and significant training and practice to master

Pros

The variety of tools and integrations offered were useful and allowed our team to solve many challenges in different ways while helping us to ensure our data was all in one place

Cons

Very challenging to use, and seemed non-intuitive to me. It took me a long time to figure certain things out, and support did the best they could. Other team members either found it easier or harder than I did.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback about Nutshell, Vlad. We're sorry to hear that you found Nutshell complex and challenging to use, as that isn't the experience we want for our customers.

Great CRM for large to small groups of users

Reviewed 10 years ago
Pros

Nutshell has been a great fit for me in tracking all of my sales activities. This service is very easy to use and allows me to quickly retrieve key account or contact details to allow me to better service my prospects and customers. I appreciate the fact that it can be as simple or complex as you need it to be, meaning that every feature is not made into a field that you have to navigate even if you do not use them. All interaction with Nutshell staff has been very quick and efficient. They continue to roll out additional product features so you know that they are growing. The price for this service is very reasonable and I would certainly even pay more knowing the value that it has given my business.

Cons

Nutshell is still growing a little bit, so there are features that are still in the works for development or improvement. However, they communicate well on some of what they are working on so you know progress is being made.
