"Overall my team has had a positive experience using the Nutshell platform."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I like how easy it is to use and that most functions are intuitive. I especially like the ability to type in a contact and immediately see all correspondence with that individual.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

In the people database, I wish there was a way to organize the order of companies people have worked at with their most recent company on top. I would also like AI personalization functions added to email writing and scheduling for client marketing.

What problems is Nutshell solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has helped us better track our correspondence with buyers, so when marketing to them regularly, we know what last written to them was.

"Works well for managing your customer database"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Easy to use to manage your customer database. Allows you to keep notes on every contact with your customers. Allows you to connect Mailchimp, and other apps, to track which customers receive your marketing email. Whenever I want to know what has happened to a customer's account, I go to Nutshell, search for the customer, and then have all the data readily available.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The email marketing is not as good as Mailchimp for the price charged. The email builder is subpar in comparison. They need to completely revamp the email marketing system or eliminate it.

What problems is Nutshell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allows me to have an online database of our company's customers that is easily accessible to all employees. The price is low and affordable for the business.

"As a Solo-preneur, Nutshell is my partner"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I like how it's customizable and I like how it displays information to keep me organized. I'm a creative and a little all over the place, but Nutshell keeps my whole pipeline/sales system together for me--whether I need to check for an overview, or spend time reviewing and working on all my leads.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Honestly, I don't have any major complaints. I think in a lot of ways its pretty comparable to most other CRMs. I just landed on Nutshell years ago as I was looking for a CRM to meet my needs, and here I am using it like 5 years later.

What problems is Nutshell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lets me track my leads and keep notes on them. Also allows me to build a detailed rolodex of all my clients.
