I used to use Workdesk and it was fantastic, you could easily work out what was needed and help desk would support you not just give you the tips to read.
To help track products for the most demanding clients, Nimble has been an inspiration. With this tool, we can easily manage our customers and leads. This tool has many themes and templates for sending emails and notifications. In contrast to other CRM programs, Nimble is a …
I believe that Nimble is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software that is beyond conventionalism. I feel that when a business will implement Nimble’s channel then you will be able to have much more professional access to customer contact. I would say it is one of the …
I really like Nimble because it has always been influential and inspiring in fostering product tracking for the most influential and demanding clients. Other than that, Nimble has allowed me in choosing the correct moment to intervene and offer the required information to …
I cannot regard Salesforce as a perfect tool for CRM. I found Salesforce lacks many important features that we were looking for. Moreover, [the] email marketing feature of Salesforce wasn’t working well and I didn’t like that feature. But on the other side, the email marketing …
CRM tools need to be proactive, but unfortunately Agile didn’t fit well with our business demands, and we found Agile buggy and sometimes it results in slowing down our system, so that was a big issue for us. Luckily with Nimble, we haven't faced any such issue and it fit well …
Nimble is best of all. It has more reliable features than Freshdesk. I
was using a lot of contact software for organization and it easily integrated
with them effectively. Easily integrate with Google products, outlook and email
Nimble is mainly used for contact management and email tracking, linking companies and people into a single database, and using the database as a communication panel.
Nimble is a good CRM for someone who wants to use it for what it can do out of the box. Someone who doesn't need social media links in the client records. If you want to customize a CRM to look and feel like you want it to, I'd suggest you go someplace else. Nimble does not …
Nimble is more cost effective than both. Easier to use than Salesforce. It's built for the user and the person in the customer facing role to make their lives easier. The others are built for making managers lives easier and can get frustrating for end users.
Nimble is much better than Salesmate as it's user interface having many features and helping me to manage all day-to-day activities easily without any interruption.
Both Insightly and HubSpot are very capable systems in terms of CRM capabilities. However, Nimble is indispensable to us for its data enrichment feature that gives us the advantage of intel that is crucial for getting responses from our email campaigns We love how smart the …
I haven't used another CRM for at least 8 years. While I keep up to date on key CRMs, I feel it would be unfair to Nimble and the other CRMs of me to compare them here.
I selected Nimble for the group message integration and social media integration. The other tools that I looked at had restrictions that kept me from the ease of managing my customers. Prospecting is a big part of my business, and having the triggers for contact from Nimble is …
Google Apps combined with Communication History and the Social portion of Nimble places it in a category by itself, in my opinion. It is very cost effective. I have found other tools cannot compete on pricing and the social aspect.
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 …
We checked out Hubspot CRM. You get a lot for free from them but it seems that to get the functions contained in Nimble you'd have to spend 2X per user to get the sales pro. To get the marketing aspects you'd really need the HS marketing package which is far more expensive than …
We felt the high amount of customisation available from Workbooks was much more beneficial to us than the offerings from the larger CRM companies. We also liked the smaller company mentality of Workbooks as it reminded us of ourselves. Ultimately the price also paid a factor as …
We selected Workbooks because it had a more powerful reporting engine and a much slicker way of managing the sales pipeline and territories. It also gave us the ability to manage the support contracts better and ensure that the support team knew exactly who was in an active …
The ability to customize Workbooks really gave them the lead against the other products that we have used or that we considered when upgrading from the Base CRM system.
I've only used SugarCRM, Workbooks is a much more sophisticated product. A huge step in the right direction and the company are much better organized now, all across the board. The reporting, lead and support management are much more reliable for our business. We can do a lot …
Workbooks was the best overall value. It had the functionality the client needed at the best price and the quickest implementation set up and overall time frame.
Workbooks is highly customizable, affordable, scalable, and a workhorse when it comes to being able to design a system to get things done. There is almost no limitations to what can be done with it, and even if you don't want to use their built in automation engine to design …
Stacks up well against private sector CRM, membership MRM and fundraising management systems - We needed functionality only normally seen within one or another of these system types and we chose Workbooks due to the comprehensive nature of what it can do, ease of use, …
For us, SFDC was like using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut. Plus the cost put us off. CallPro CRM came a close second in our review, but what made us eventually go with Workbooks was the UI. It was a much more friendly environment to work in.
Have worked with the likes of SugarCRM, Salesforce, Siebel, and some of their predecessors. Most of them are too much, too complex and too expensive. Have seen most of these implemenations fail. Buying these typically require much consultancy and much bespoke implementation …
We were previously with Sugar and this served us well when we started with very little money and a few staff, however we quickly outgrew Sugar and additional functionality required custom work or 3rd party plugin's. We needed a scalable system that could grow with our business, …
Sage CRM overall is a good product, but it's ease of use left something to be desired, especially with our administrative department that had little to no experience with CRM. Another BIG PLUS of Workbooks.com over Sage is the fact that it's somewhere between 50% to 30% cheaper! …

Platform
Comparison of Platform features of Product A and Product B
[Nimble] has been the best platform for us to manage contacts and information from the contacts. Great dashboard, fast UI, and complete package with all features helping us a lot. I would definitely recommend this software to other businesses to have this in their ecosystem to be more productive.
Workbooks offers great support, as do ( in our experience) local partners. It works really well for our sales and marketing departments. Workbooks is really effective in tracking our marketing campaigns. It also keeps tabs on existing clients, and gives insight on how quickly potentials are turned to customers.
As with all CRM it strongly depends on how well it is being maintained and used by the user. We have found that with the ease of use of Workbooks its become much less of an issue. Where as before we didn't only look at the data produced but actually had to keep track of the system being used accurately. We constantly needed to keep tabs on the actual level of maintaining.
The fact that we see data being produced organically (naturally being updated and tracked) to me is a testament of the user friendly nature of workbooks.
Sales process management from enquiry to delivery of product
This was previously on as many as 4 systems using excel and legacy applications such as the written word in log books
Automatic reporting for financial compliance: once built, the reporting process reduced the workload on a monthly basis from 2 days to 20 minutes
The FD loved it
The overall capability of the package enabled the sales force to rapidly pull our pertinent data for a sales call, plus managing time and resources better for increased efficiency
Business development and focussed marketing became so much easier, we noted that the process paid for itself many times over
I dont like the functionality aspect of how one of the controllers is always on standby, they dont load balance, meaning you can be on the same controller for the life of the appliance
The 4.x firmware was pretty buggy and it gave off a lot of temp alarms
We use it for support but find it difficult to easily link support emails that arrive to organisations, it requires a lot of manual input to open/close a case
The flexibility can be a hindrance as it can be difficult to work out exactly what you wish to see, especially in reports. Sometimes a simple report is all thats required but it provides a lot of information
Can sometimes be a little slow and goes down from time to time but this is fairly rare
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
the product works. support has been good or great so far all has been great and we hope to get more from the product. we purchased for an initial year then renewed for a longer term, we have no regrets with this.
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.
Nimble customer service is enjoyable. With great patience, they work tirelessly to help their customers. It was highly beneficial to employees to have access to remote support sessions. We decided to get in touch with them to learn more about any previously mentioned features. Because of this, Nimble has a strong foundation. I think it's a fantastic option.
I cannot regard Salesforce as a perfect tool for CRM. I found Salesforce lacks many important features that we were looking for. Moreover, [the] email marketing feature of Salesforce wasn’t working well and I didn’t like that feature. But on the other side, the email marketing feature of Nimble works excellently and Nimble is a complete package for CRM.
Workbooks is highly customizable, affordable, scalable, and a workhorse when it comes to being able to design a system to get things done. There is almost no limitations to what can be done with it, and even if you don't want to use their built in automation engine to design highly specific workflows, the functionality out of the gates is a tremendous asset for most businesses
As the investment made with nimble is only 15 dollars per month, it is easy to return it and double profits in a short time, but this is totally relative to the number of people that are working on the platform account.
Based on the above, it is easy to deduce that nimble is a little better suited to small businesses that require a smaller number of sellers, since it does not ensure that all sellers can cover their quota.
