"Love Using Nutshell!!!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love the easy of getting setup on Nutshell, how helpful the team was in the transition from our old CRM.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

NOTHING!!! It does everything we need and more!!

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

It helps us track our "deals" and the amounts. We benefit by keeping up on monthly amounts and last price increase so we can adjust fees accordingly

"Well designed CRM for sales people who want results, clarity and true insight into their leads."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I truly appreciate how complex the product is. You can find features for almost everything you need to manage sales teams and customer relationships across the globe. From a sales guy's perspective, it is very easy to track what is happening, when you need to follow up, which projects are rotting, where you lose business, and why. The customization is top-notch. I use tens of custom fields to get an in-depth insight into our customer needs, and I can use these custom fields to create reports. And I have a lot of reports. I was using Pipedrive before, and I can honestly say that Nutshell is a powerful alternative, in some aspects even superior.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The complexity of Nutshell means that you need to think first before setting up the tool. Then there are some minor annoyances that I would love the team to fix. For example, emails to a specific person appear in all leads, where this person is assigned as the contact person. If you have a purchaser in a big company, who manages many RFQs, you will see all emails in all leads, although they are not related to that specific lead. This was better in Pipedrive, where the tool could assign emails only to specific leads.

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

Nutshell helps our sales team stay on top of our customer needs and promptly manage their leads and follow-ups. It is greatly helping in reporting, as we have a ton of reports created for our management to be well informed.

"nutshell user review - used since 2015"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

generally intuitive duplicate checking is good, sometimes a bit aggressive activity customization is great reporting is good allowing voice to text is huge time saver

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

customization of browser experience would be helpful adding custom fields to app would be helpful map is frustrating - browser version will not show some addresses (data has been checked against google & other mapping services) app map will not show some addresses as well - but no consistency between browser "not shown addresses" and app app activity feature is not ideal - would be helpful to have "today"s vs "all past" (sometimes people get behind) would love to be able to change multiple calendar items at a time (perhaps having an in-Nutshell calendar view like Outlook's browser)

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

nutshell' helps me to keep in regular contact with customers/prospects, and to quickly see what the recent history with each company/cotnact is. lead reporting (for RFQs/quotes) lets me report on activity to our owners.

"Best CRM tool in the market."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

One of the amazing features I came across in a nutshell is the ability to make phone calls and generate leads in the CRM itself. The whole process is very simple to use and makes your work a lot easier.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I don't think I had stumped upon anything which makes me think twice to use this tool. I have loved every feature of this tool and if there is any additional feature required in this tool, that is gonna be the feature to get feedback from the client's end.

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

I was very annoyed by using numerous tools to outreach my clients in an orderly manner. Nutshell gives me the freedom to use multiple tools under one shelter. It helps by providing all information about the client in the dashboard in an organized way.

"Most helpful and awesome CRM too and easy to usel!!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love having the option to follow the association with my messages and see client commitment continuously. They've constructed a product that gives a structure that centers around every one of the most fundamental components of income development. I have utilized this item north of a couple of organizations, and I can tell you that it is not difficult to use, simple to learn, and extremely simple to set up.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The main thing I wish Nutshell could do was assemble quicker. They have astounding thoughts on uniting deals and promoting into one, single development programming. Other than that, there wasn't a thing that I hated.

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

It assists us with getting sorted out the entirety of our clients and prospects neatly. Work processes are adaptable, and following possibility data is a breeze.

"Perfect for a one-man-show!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell has all the features of an expensive CRM, but you have the option to use them or not. Tracking all emails by lead keeps everything in one place and saves lots of time trying to remember OR FIND what you sent to a customer.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

If emails were sent to a person BEFORE a lead was created for that person, the emails stay associated with the person, not the lead, that was created for the person.

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

The primary problem was keeping up with people I contacted and remembering to follow up with proposals I sent out. Seeing my leads in a "pipeline" format according to the stage, or lifecycle, keeps me on top of things I need to move along to the next stage.

"Nutshel Simply Awesome CRM Solution and Easy to use!!!!!"

Nutshell has an exceptionally easy to use design that is not difficult to utilize and to prepare others on. I can easily get some much-needed rest and realize my group will actually want to make it happen without calling me continually.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Any CRM needs a promise to learn and utilize it consistently. I would rather avoid that it doesn't offer more undertaking the executives choices.

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

Nutshell is assisting me with keeping additional leads from getting neglected or escaping everyone's notice.

"Yes, it is that good."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The screen is not cluttered and it's easy to use. Having said that it's also powerful. I have tried many others and like Nutshell the best. If you need a "CRM Administrator" then you are looking at the wrong CRM. Nutshell as what you need and then a LITTLE bit more and that is all you need.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There must be something but cannot think of it. Maybe they could not mention products that we do not use, like MailChimp and Constant Contact? I just really like the product and have since I started using it in March of 2020. And support is GREAT!! Bit I do not need to call much.

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

I have all my prospects and clients in Nutshell and I get to focus on SALES and that is what I like.

"Best CRM and easy to use!!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The item gives extraordinary client care and adaptability. Usability! Clients can zero in on selling. I think the estimating is extremely serious and we feel it is an extraordinary worth.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There is literally nothing I don't care for about Nutshell. Restricted in revealing; the greater part of our announcing is done outside of this product.

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

We are attempting to develop income. Nutshell assisted us with getting sorted out organizations, however each contact inside that organization.

"I’m a territory sales manager between 8 different US States."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I think the Map view of all of my Companies is awesome. That's probably the easiest way to visualize an entire region at a high level.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I think the Inbox and ways to send emails could be cleaned up a bit and more user friendly to each specific employee within a company. It's very easy to use but I think I get lost in how many Drafts are made from other Sales Reps in my company.

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

Basic Lead and Saes management is extremely easy and beneficial. I've tried to maintain leads through other CRMs and it's not nearly as user-friendly and easy to understand as Nutshell's platform.

"Best CRM!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is the most customizable and easy-to-use CRM available today. I've used Nutshell with three different companies in the past 7 years and every time Nutshell was clearly the best CRM available.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I could only wish that they build a lead scraping tool as a chrome browser addon. That would make the process of entering a contact or lead much faster.

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

Automating our sales process and allowing our sales team to keep track of everything. We track all activities through out sales process and continue to refine our outreach and inbound strategies. We even use it for managing Support via an onboarding pipeline.

Love the DASHBOARD where I can closely monitor my targets and deadlines!

Limited design templates on Outreach. Would be nice to have bolder designs.

"The best work tool for monitoring your customers and measuring productivity performance"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

have a timely follow-up for customer traceability with a focus on sales and customer growth. Viewing my metrics and graphics through this tool helps me know where I am and what direction to take to improve and increase my productivity.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

that at the time of planning I must have several nutshell sales open to be able to view the history of the company I am going to visit. The coding required to do the planning when feeding information takes a long time which implies time that consumes me in my workday.

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

I am working out a way to make my planning more practical. That is in terms of software. Personally, I am improving the monitoring of my clients by making an objective conversation with them obtaining better results in sales and service, my clients have been surprised that we have fresh and fast information.

"Great for Organizing your Sales Process"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love that each step is completed with each customer, ensuring a streamline experience for all of our customers regardless of the sales person handling the job!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

It says it will record emails exchanged, but that has proven to only work sometimes.

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

Our sales process is specific and each step is taken with each customer despite the sales associate who is taking care of them.

"Power of HubSpot at half the price"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I have used a ton of CRM's and have loved many. Nutshell puts the rest to shame. All of the power that you have in a product like HubSpot like marketing automations and lead management automatio Nutshell has at a fraction of the cost. Also Nutshell's support is unparalleled. You can always get a human which is amazing.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The on feature that I was missing was email marketing automations. I used to integrate with ConvertKit to compensate, but with the introduction of their new marketing email automation tools this is no longer an issue.

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

Keeps my team organized. Keeps my clients organized. Takes a lot of the IT burden off my plate and let's me focus on sales and marketing.

"Very Helpful, Efficient and Intuitive"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

It's a very intuitive system. It's not bloated with any unnecessary functionality and I can use it relatively easily on my phone.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The app needs some work. I can access basic reports and functionality but it has a ways to go to catch up to the desktop version.

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

We're tracking admits / leads / calls to an addiction treatment center. It's streamlined our admissions process and gives me as a marketer much more actionable insights than prior solutions.
