"Great Customization and Customer Service"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

I've been very impressed with how much Nutshell can truly do for my team and my business. I appreciate the expansive filtering options for reporting and tracking all of my leads. Any time anyone has a question or problem, it is easy to get help from Nutshell Customer Service. I appreciate their willingness to customize our Nutshell interface to help us be most efficient in our work especially as we continue to evolve and request new changes.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

The downside of offering SO MUCH on a CRM is that it requires a huge learning curve for training. For my organization it is complicated because we have a large amount of users and many cannot put in the time it truly takes to utilize Nutshell to the fullest. It is also not necessary that they NEED to fully understand all the features of Nutshell, but because it becomes overwhelming to them they end up not wanting to use it at all. Could there be a simplified version for those users that don't need full access? (I understand this is a problem my organization is trying to solve on our own).

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

The reports are the most beneficial. Those statistics are valuable with how we want to continue connecting with people - what works and what does not work.

"Easy to use CRM solution"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

Two features are helping us most in our every day business: The first one is the easy way of sharing emails. One click and it is shared. If you are willing to share all emails with everybody, then you can even save that one click and share them automatically. The second one is the sales automation, which a big time saver for email follow ups. Another feature that is pretty cool when you are on conferences is the business card scanner in the mobile app. It's working surprisingly good even for cards with an uncommon design.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Actually there is nothing big I dislike. It would be great if I could customize the lead entry form, so that I can put all the form fields we defined internally as mandatory on one screen. And sometimes emails take a few minutes until they become visible in Nutshell. But it has never been such a pain point that I investigated to find out whether this is a problem of our email server or from Nutshell.

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

We are using Nutshell for following up on all type of new leads, independent if they are for a specific product or contacts who would like to work on completely new business opportunities. Furthermore we are organizing marketing campaigns like cold outreach activities with Nutshell. Before we tried out different CRM tools and always ended up storing additional information outside these tools and it was hard to keep an overview. Nutshell is a big improvement for us to keep overview and helps us to grow our B2B business.

- Cloud Based - Easy Navigation - Phone App - Contact Management - Account management - Geo Mapping

We are primarily using this program to manage our contact and customer database. We are able to keep an accurate database of important contacts.

"Great product with lots of versatility"
What do you like best about Nutshell?

The simple interface is great and easy to catch on to. The ability to tag teammates to grab their attention is useful. Having the ability to customize parts of the product is great too. The search function is pretty good and I love the ability to choose between different types of interactions and outreaches. The email integration is huge. Being able to have reminders and a dashboard for those reminders is great.

What do you dislike about Nutshell?

Not being able to edit my task list from the dashboard - having to click like 3 times is annoying. Search function is good but not great. The way the system recognizes "duplicates" in names or companies is very odd as well - it's hardly ever a duplicate.

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

Making sure there are no crossing of prospecting efforts and centralizing a database for our information and prospecting. Being able to have a centralized task list and delegate accordingly from Nutshell is amazing.
