    CiraSync is well suited to syncing company contacts into the Outlook user's mailbox. This could allow for calling with an IP phone, or from a cell phone. It's also well suited to syncing Calendars and Notes into the Outlook user's mailbox, where they do not already have permission on the calendar. However, to avoid confusion it is better not to duplicate calendars when the user can see them from Outlook.

    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.

    Pros
    Cira Apps
    • Share important information with your staff consistently, easily and quickly. Regardless of their geographic location.
    • Friendly, easy to use user interface that makes managing complex rules of which information you want sent to subsets of people very easy to manage.
    • A very responsive support team. They get back to you quickly and you typically have a solution or answer in one iteration.

    • 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.

    Extremely easy to use and they help you throughout the process. I find it not challenging, an effective utility to help us prioritize and engage efficiently at a reasonable price point. We enjoy working with the team there and they're easy to access. I've already recommended it to two colleagues

    The documentation isn't the most robust. Most support sites are very detailed and easily searchable.

    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.

    We tried 4Team Sync2 Cloud and also itrezzo. While we were not able to justify installing a server, installing a cloud app from the Microsoft store was easy and fit our business needs.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Cira Apps
    • It is difficult to capture specific dollar based ROI in this circumstance. Anecdotally, when it is 3 a.m. and I get an urgent call about an emergent issue at a remote location -- at my fingertips and the fingertips of everyone I work with are the names and phones numbers of our important contacts, site codes that we need to relay to emergency services, and other important information. I don't waste time searching for a piece of paper. I don't worry whether the next person I'm calling has a different site code or phone number. The data is readily available and consistent with all employees.

    • 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.
