Likelihood to Recommend I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from
Marketo or
Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

"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.

We also use the custom fields for other information we want to capture. It would be nice to build those in so they can show the info as bullet points or something --- currently paragraph form and hard to find things at a glance. Funnel could use some work. Only shows how many leads are currently in that part of the pipeline which doesn't give us a good historical comparison.

Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.
Read full review Usability EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

Read full review Support Rating Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Implementation Rating Implementation is difficult everytime but this was relatively simple due to the small amount of data we moved
Read full review Alternatives Considered Salesforce and
Marketo are the strongest CRM products out there in the space. The drawback they have is that they are immensely expensive and complex to set-up / use.
Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with
Pardot . EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.
Read full review Well, my team had trials for these others and they all prefer Nutshell for different reasons. I prefer it as I need a user-friendly software to help me out as I am not a big tech guy. I have heard others in the office say things like they like the way activities are scheduled better, or the way nothing ever gets accidentally erased if they hard crash or power goes out.

I've been able to provide immediate feedback to clients, schedule meetings from the field with confidence, and much more. Nutshell's tagging features have helped us craft custom mailing/email lists. We struggled to do this in the past. Read full review ScreenShots
