Nimble
This tool is suitable for all sizes of organizations since it has the capacity to manage customer relations in the best possible way. Its features like task management, reports, social collaboration, and forecasting are always considered important for CRM and they all work without causing any trouble. But its Reports need to be more elaborate and its interface should be made easier and less tricky.

I have used Sap sales cloud in both large scale enterprise as well as small business. In large scale org we had multiple teams, products and geographies hence its customization option make it adaptable to complex sales operations. In small scale org we had a straight business process and limited budget hence we found SAP sales cloud as a overkill compared to simple CRM solution. From my experience if anyone has a mon complex sales process and where the sale process is shorter such as B2C sales then SAP sales cloud extensive feature is not worth we can use simple CRM based solution in complex scenarios and B2B sales its value for money

  • This is very useful for users who do not want to open 3 4 links for each app related to CRM.
  • I like the automated authorization system which has also simplified authorization management and supports multi-tenant cloud deployments among cloud service providers.
  • It is more efficient than the "old-fashioned" method of paper contracts, printing, signing and writing to PDF.

Cons
Nimble
  • Nimble's storage space is very sparse, but we have found that it can be expanded at an additional cost.
  • Their mobile application is not as good as some of us expected, and we strongly recommend improving it to make it work effectively.

  • Allow more visibility of the fulfillment sales processes: delivery, invoice, billing...
  • There are restrictions on Org. Structure talking about sales offices. They should work just like in the ERP
  • Maybe allow simple logic programming routines to control fields behaviour (they are trying on V2)

It's truly a great system if you get it for the right reasons. Don't expect it to do everything a mid market organization would require but for any small business or mid to large organizations which would like to integrate to it for the social insights capabilities this is a leading solution which can add value immediately

I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.

Usability
Nimble
The platform has more advantages and positives as compared to challenges or negatives in comparison to other comparable products and platforms available in the marketplace. It was extremely easy to get started with the initial deployment which makes the choice much clearer. Finally its tight integration not just with Microsoft O365 suite, but also with [the] most popular social media platforms available makes it a very favorable platform in its domain.

Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.

It was productive to be able to access remote support sessions from nimble employees, whom we decided to contact to have one of the features mentioned above explained to us. They were methodical and easy to explain solutions, so we recommend them for any kind of doubt.

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

The API documentation is good. Development team was able to implement in under two weeks, and normally we were told it was a 12-14 week process.

Alternatives Considered
Nimble
Nimble has proven to be a positive and well-respected application within our company for setting us up for success at building personal and meaningful associations with decision makers. It has been a significant reason why we have gained acceptance and trust from those who we have introduced ourselves to over time. The ability to feel a true understanding of our prospects and customers as real human beings with unique interests and common aspirations opens up doors of valuable conversation. The other options that were reviewed and considered provided many of the common ways from the past that stored CRM information. This method was much more of a static representation of the real interactions made between a company or salesperson with the prospects and customers. Nimble has brought back what should never have been lost - being like neighbors who spoke to each other about more things than just business.

SAP Sales Cloud and Salesforce Sales Cloud have basically achieved feature parity. The decision comes down to your corporate vendor strategy as well as your integration strategy and UI preference. Back in 2017, we had chosen SAP Sales Cloud due to its native integration with SAP ERP. Back then, it was difficult to find best practice integration solutions between Salesforce and SAP ERP. Now that Salesforce has acquired middleware vendor Mulesoft, things may be looking different on that front.

The platform is simple to use in many departments, and performance can be monitored effectively. The majority of channels have been digitalized, which has boosted output and enhanced consumer experiences. The majority of applications from different departments have been integrated with the ERP system, which has improved teamwork and standardized processes. Sales representatives may go deeper and give potential customers the most helpful information by monitoring performance.

Return on Investment
Nimble
  • Time-Saving is one of the biggest ROIs for me. 30-60 minutes a day means I can focus on more marketing, sales, or client work.
  • A soft ROI is in better contact relationships. People are often impressed that I follow-up after meetings, and especially when they say to contact them in 6 months or next year.

  • A positive impact would be the fact that because we are only service managers for a customer we are not charged for additional user licenses.
  • A negative impact on ROI is that it is too easy for customers to create duplicate SAP Ariba accounts when trying to add new users. (at one point there was an order submitted to the incorrect account and then had a delay in processing.
  • To re-affirm my previous points it took us quite a while to get the accounts sorted out because of the lack of support expertise, and had MANY customer support calls before we figured out on our own that the duplicate account had been created (for an employee who was on maternity leave) and that that's where the new order went. THEN we still had to do additional account support calls to link the existing account to the new.
