    Lack of support, not built for our type of company (so we've been told)

    Date: Dec 18 2025
    Summary

    Data inaccuracies, lack of trust in our lists, the "AI" has muddied our list and created many duplicates even though I have turned this feature off, it still adds irrelevant people and companies.

    Positive

    Email, sales, and lead management all in one. Being able to email and call contacts directly from the system is a benefit

    Negative

    Lack of support, implementing workarounds because the team is unwilling to implement solutions for service based companies. "Nutshell isn't made for that, but you can do this instead and it kind of works"

    Nutshell Works Awesome for our Small Sales Team

    Date: Dec 18 2025
    Summary

    I'm quite happy with Nutshell. We've been using it for 5 years now. We've had employees come and go, but people all seem to like it. Other software CRMs might have more advanced capabilities, but for our team, Nutshell has plenty to offer. Their customer service and support are both great.

    Positive

    I like the affordability and ease of use. It's very easy for new employees to jump in and learn how to use.

    Negative

    Sometimes the capabilities are limited in the leads stage. I would like to be able to add on the same goal/task completion across multiple stages. For example, receiving an email response to a message.

    Positive

    Nutshell is very user-friendly and it is great for growing businesses. It has great user interface and multiple sale persons are able to work on it at once seamlessly.

    Negative

    The data cannot be exported into excel for further data analysis. It does not track trends for product based inquiries.

    A Long-Time Go-To CRM for Our Agency

    Date: Dec 18 2025
    Summary

    We’ve relied on Nutshell CRM on and off for nearly a decade, which says a lot given how many CRMs we’ve evaluated over the years.

    Nutshell stands out for its ease of use and affordability compared to platforms like HubSpot and Salesforce. The mobile app is robust and makes it easy to log notes and update deals right after meetings, which helps keep data accurate and current.

    The email and calendar integrations are also a big plus, allowing our team to manage relationships without jumping between systems. For marketing agencies working with small to mid-market clients, Nutshell is a strong, dependable CRM.

    Positive

    Nutshell is one of the most user-friendly CRMs we’ve used as a marketing agency. We’ve been in and out of the platform for almost 10 years, and it’s remained a reliable option whenever we want something powerful without unnecessary complexity. The mobile app is excellent for logging notes and updates right after meetings, and the email and calendar integrations keep everything organized in one place.

    Negative

    If you’re looking for an ultra-enterprise solution with endless customization, this may not be the right fit — but for agencies, that simplicity is a strength.

    Solid CRM for our small business needs

    Date: Dec 17 2025
    Summary

    Overall, I would recommend this to small companies since it has all of the basics and is solid with offerings. I can't speak to larger companies and more complex integrations but Nutshell has been nice and they have excellent customer service.

    Positive

    I like that Nutshell provides coverage for all the major areas of a CRM we need as a small business including contact management, Sales reach (email/call notes, cadences, etc), marketing campaigns, sales pipeline management. All of that without being too complex are too costly compares to the big players in this space.

    Negative

    I wish some of the items would go deeper. For example, email cadences could have more options.

    Excellent tool for small to medium businesses looking to sophisticate marketing

    Date: Dec 18 2025
    Summary

    We are really just getting started with this tool. We love the email feature- it's been very easy to get an email program up and running. Excellent, intuitive user interface. Looking to use more landing page and visitor IQ data. We leverage our agency for support, we have never used Nutshell customer support directly.

    Positive

    We receive Nutshell use as part of large agency agreement to a suite of various marketing platforms and tools. Excellent value for money. The fact that we can access landing page development, customer lead data etc. quickly and easily within a great UX is awesome.

    Negative

    Some limitations on how accessible it is to export customer data. Would like 2 way, real time updates to meeting management so availability is current.

    Intuitive UI, Clever Features, a CRM I don't hate

    Date: Dec 19 2025
    Summary

    Very positive experience compared to the "leading" CRMs I've used (Hubspot, Salesforce). So much more intuitive and lightweight for a small team - perfect for us.

    Positive

    Great and intuitive UX/UI, efficiency of workflows, strong email and other integrations, and mobile app quality. The mobile app allows for on-the-go solutions, email integrations are powerful for historical context, and it's highly intuitive to use versus legacy competitors. We can see in real-time across devices which opportunities are advancing and where others were left behind.

    Negative

    It's still a a CRM, I wish the search function was more comprehensive, and I'd love to be able to sync with other MSFT products like OneNote and Teams

    Great Customer Service experience and Ease of Use of the App

    Date: Dec 17 2025
    Summary

    We love Nutshell overall. Before, it was a problem for us to track down our deal's history due to random data management but after we shifted, we were more streamlined and data efficient, so we were able to perform better

    Positive

    Customer service is great. They were with us all throughout the setup process. Uploading data is quick and easy. After shifting to Nutshell, we are more focused in reaching our sales goals since database management and sales performance monitoring is nothing to worry about and its really easy to understand how the system works.

    Negative

    What we least like about the app is how it manages data redundancy, filtering, & Sorting. Some data tags can be easily removed, replaced or created which may slightly affect data accuracy.

    A Useful CRM

    Date: Dec 17 2025
    Summary

    I find Nutshell to be a great CRM, and I'm very happy with features such as the REST API for being able to connect with other software products we use. However I'd like to see more options to tailor the CRM to our specific business needs.

    Positive

    Nutshell does a good job of organizing and maintaining full records of interactions, conversations, emails, and notes with our customers. The relationship of Person to Company to Lead is useful. The communication tools for reaching out to customers directly from Nutshell are also very good. The commitment to an available REST API is essential for our use and something I really appreciate and respect about Nutshell.

    Negative

    There is limited flexibility in some of the features of Nutshell. For example in the automations, it is limited as to what can be used to trigger the next step or to trigger an automatic email/communication. I wish that leads could function more completely as orders in and of themselves, with the ability to include percentage based line items such as sales tax or apply discounts to all of the products on a lead.
