BIGContacts vs. Nutshell CRM

BigContacts has helped us automate and personalize our marketing campaigns, which has resulted in an improvement in our bottom line. We have been able to create and deliver highly personalized experiences for our customers, which has contributed to improved satisfaction and reduced churn.

This can be used for different industries, healthcare, IT, retail or any company with a customer service line, big or small. if i had to ask, i would say "Do you have any type of filing system that you use?" "anything where you are keeping track of personal/ business information." Do you need access to information on a day to day basis? If they do , then this can be used , especially if you need to keep track of the numbers; we like how we can see if are things going up or down.

• easy to track the performance of email campaigns with the help of detailed reports and analytics
• BigContacts also allows us to define custom triggers for delivering emails

• Customization - we are able to make Nutshell make the most sense for our company and processes
• Scheduling - the ability to set tasks allows us to never forget a follow-up call or email
• Tags - allow us to prioritize leads and segment our customers and potential customers
• Communication - the ability to tag colleagues in notes for callbacks or updates to accounts is very helpful to keep everyone on the same page
• Email History - being able to blind copy all our email communication to Nutshell, allows us to have email threads and notes all in one place

• integration with email doesn't work as advertised
• would like integration with quickbooks
• If there is a misspelling in any one email address, you can not send a mass email. You must go back and correct each error before it can send.

This is perfect for a small business / Home based business with SaaS. Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.

BigContacts has stood out from all of them since it offers customization to a great extent. It is easy to customize the sales pipeline, reports, layouts, workflows, etc., to get the most out of them.

It's a good system! However, it's not industry specific so we don have some workarounds to make it work for our company

Nutshell's support team has always been great and they tend to go above and beyond. They are polite, friendly, personable and great listeners. They are also great about sending follow up emails too.

Implementation is difficult everytime but this was relatively simple due to the small amount of data we moved

As a small business, we have benefitted significantly from the implementation of this easy-to-use CRM application. With all relevant data and tasks in one place, it is easier to meet deadlines and customer expectations. We also use the tool to assign tasks to team members and monitor their progress routinely. Moreover, the tool integrates with a number of business applications, enabling us to manage everything from the same platform.

When I first started with BCI, they were using ACT!. It was hard to navigate and there were a lot of spots for duplicate information that made it hard to know if you were in the right spot or not. Then if you had trouble, you would spend 3 hours on the phone with customer service and often they would not even be able to find a solution. I would not recommend ACT! to anyone. Since getting nutshell, I have learned a bit about Cosential and I know that it is more catered to the construction industry and can help with proposal creation, so I think that may be something we consider in the not-too-near future.

• The performance of the mobile version is one area that BigContacts can improve upon to become the most reliable CRM for small businesses.

• Nutshell CRM has had a major impact on ROI. The last program we used cost more and had fewer features and accessibility.
• One negative impact is its email functions. As stated before in this review I need to be able to send large attachments and pics through email and Nutshell is very limited when it comes to that.
