"Nutshell is a simple CRM solution"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The best thing about Nutshell is how easy it is to maneuver from one to another. I can easily look up contacts or a list of contacts in a quick and efficient way. I also love the email templates. The custom fields aspect has been also a valuable attribute that Nutshell offers.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I wish I could connect contacts. I'm not exactly sure the best way to do this, but I have many contacts that are spouses. Nutshell may also want to consider creating their own meeting scheduling tool like calendly or I use youcanbookme.com.

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

Nutshell helps me track client interaction and email tracking.

"Nuts about Nutshell"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is so easy to use. I am new to the sales world and the previous CRM that we were using was so confusing and tedious. I felt like I was not being efficient with my time or able to keep up with notes and updates for my profiles. But with nutshell they make it so easy. Everything is separated into categories and there's 24 hour help and videos if needed. I use nutshell everyday and can say that my notes and time management have exceeded expectations. I can even lay out different categories on my dashboard for easy to find things. Without having to go through a lot of different hoops. I recommend nutshell to any business starting off and feel overwhelmed by how many CRM's are out there. The implementation is direct and simple. And allows you to set your own pipelines. Nutshells integration if made for you as a business not for them.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

If you have a lot of accounts it tends to lag. Making it frustrating sometimes when you are trying to update accounts. Email portal sometimes glitches

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

With each dilemma that has come up. Whether it be with the emails, storage space, or whatever concern is brought up. They have been nothing but helpful about getting us through it. With live support you can talk to someone when you need to . But they are also available to set up virtual meetings to go over any concerns the user has. And works hard and taking feedback and trying to integrate it with their app.

"User Friendly CRM!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I looked into a couple different CRM/Marketing softwares for my employer and this one caught my attention right away. I like how user friendly it is. It even has a "Nutshell Intelligence" where it offers information about the company you're adding, saving time adding information in. Customer support is also a huge plus. They offered one on one help, and plenty of videos to watch.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The ONLY downside is that sometimes Nutshell isn't up to date on the addresses/info on Nutshell Intelligence, but Google-ing the address to double check isn't the end of the world/

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

Having all of our customer base in one place, showing when we contacted them, what we sent, and also tools to market to them.

"Incredibly efficient CRM system - Amazing customer service - Stellar white glove onboarding process"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The functionality is critical to our new business initiatives. The ability to segment, organize, and then market to our customer base and potential customer base has been a game changer.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The scheduler is something we will use in the future once it's a bit more robust with connectivity and functionality. Otherwise there really isn't much we aren't able to do pretty easily.

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

Organizing our customer base by allowing us to add properties to define our customer profiles. Then, we can deploy targeted marketing strategies to show customers what they want to see - not just send generic blasts to our whole customer base.

"User-friendly, simple and human"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is a company made of truly empathetic and worried people. They'll be kind to you, try to understand you, and be candid and true. After using other providers like Hubspot, I can tell Nutshell is different. It is easy to set up, easier to use and has a strong customer support. I use it almost every day.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I still want a better experience in bulk personalized emails. There are still some features missing there.

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

One-stop-shop of essential, yet complete information on leads - who are they, what is the log of activities with them and what are the next steps

I don't have anything negative to say as it serves the purpose in all areas for our business right now.

"Easy to use and learn"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love how it's customizable and very easy to use. The customer support is amazing and they are beyond helpful whenever there is an issue, which is usually some user error. I use Nutshell daily and compared to other CRM systems it is much more user-friendly and customizable. They even have training videos and a chat feature to get assistance if needed. The videos are cheesy but in a funny way.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

I have not found something major to dislike. A small annoyance would be the name Nutshell. Spell/grammar check always sends up a red flag.

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

We use it to track everything. If we didn't have Nutshell we would have a zillion spread sheets.

"Nutshell makes it easy to track leads progress."
What do you like best about Nutshell?

'I love that I can see set up a sequence of emails that go out withought me having to do anything.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Sometimes using Nutshell can make the emails seem less personal.

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

I was having a hard time keeping track of leads when they didn't respond. Nutshell has solved that issue by sending out mupltiple automated emails when the lead hasn't responded. It has helped increase the response from leads greatly.

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

Simple and generally intuitive. Love the mapping. Excellent customer support.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

When "cutting & pasting" an address into Nutshell you have to be attentive to making sure the info gets into the correct fields to make sure the map functions correctly. The address fields don't readily understand non-US addresses.

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

Tracking and targeting prospects. Staying in touch with our users.

"Finally a CRM that a sales team loves and is simple to use!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The hardest part about CRMs for us in the past was the buy in from our sales team. The complexity and design just never inspired them to see it as the "source of truth" we hoped for. Not with Nutshell. Our team enjoys using it, finds it simple to navigate and as a result they actually use it!

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Originally it was the lack of integrations but now with Slack showing everyone when we win a deal and built-in forms for advertising it seems like the downsides are dissapearing quickly.

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

The biggest problem Nutshell is solving for us is organizing sales info. Knowing who talked to who, when, results, etc really helps us find our success. We can see where most customers drop off and learn how to make our processes better. It's also great when reassigning customers to a new rep because all the info is there and it's really simple.

"User friendly and cost effective"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I love the attractive interface and how easy it is to import and manually add data. The reports are detailed and can be catered to almost any situation. I have used a few other products in this area, but Nutshell is by far the most user friendly and cost effective than the others.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

There are some features (like forms and drip campaigns) that are fairly limited. If you have specific targets and goals for campaigns that are based on specific dates rather than date ranges, this may not be the best solution.

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

Nutshell has an attractive space to keep track of leads, clients, and sales.

"Conveniently organized for all my prospects"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

What is most helpful about nutshell is how customizable it is. Very user friendly.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

searching through people sometime overlaps with the companies (which i use companies for building address's) and shows multpile people that should not be under the companies. However, I can filter out by the notes i put under the people colum, which works for the meantime. The app on my Iphone is not user friendly.

What do you like best about Nutshell?

One minor thing, but you can´t select category of a lead (e.g. automotive). You need to add a company and select category on a company level.

"Nutshell is a great CRM that is integral to our business"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Nutshell is easy to use and navigate and helps organize everything that you need. As a CRM it has been vital to the success of our business.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Nutshell is very robust and at times it seems as if it pulls the wrong emails into our Leads that are not applicable, so I do have to do some cleanup to make sure the correct emails are in the correct Leads. Also, it often asks if things are "duplicates" that are not, which can be somewhat annoying but is not a huge deal

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

It really helps with organization and email marketing and keeping track of Sales and Leads. Also, with milestones it helps with keeping everything on track and everyone accountable.

"Finally found a CRM that works for us!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The best part about Nutshell is how customizable it is for our company as well as each user can customize how they view their dashboard and data. It also integrates great with 3rd parties like Quickbooks, Outlook, and RingCentral. It is a great tool for our small comapny without having to completely overhaul how we do things day to day.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Easy if you use csv. file to import data but is a little cumbersome if you need to enter it manually.

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

Biggest problem it somes is giving us an organzied way or our sales team to collaborate and tracking our sales performance. It allows us to seamlessly pass a project from one person to the next without losing any data or ideas. It also helps us keep all of our communication and files in one place which makes it so much easier for every step of the sales process.

"Customer Success Manager-Expediting the renewal process and guaranteeing ease!"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I like the integration with gmail. I like that ability to save cards to my dashboard so I can see all my upcoming renewals in one place.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The task section is a little messy.I don't reeally know how to describe it but I wish I could see tasks for myself that were manually created and not an automatic tasks that was prompted by the setup.

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

Solves having to search thru my email for recent communication. Solves losing track of potential sales leads because I can see all lost leads with lead filters. This benefits me because I can set goals for myself based on leads I want to win for the next quarter, and speeds up my workflow, because I am not wasting time scouring thru old emails searchign for where I left off with a client.
