Nutshell vs. Copper comparison

With more than 30,000 brands served, you may believe Copper has the most to offer in terms of customer relationship management (CRM) software. Though it does bring with it some powerful features, some users find that Copper doesn’t supply everything they want and end up making the switch to Nutshell. Let’s take a look at why.

Copper pros

Copper is unique in its Google-based setup, integrating well with the whole suite of Google-related business products, including Workspace and Drive. Likewise, it offers a user-focused interface, allowing brands to create custom reports and track individual interactions with ease. And thanks to its connectivity, exporting data is a breeze.

a positive review for copper crm

Copper cons

Copper still has some bugs that have yet to be fixed. For example, even though it’s made for Google integration, it still struggles to communicate with Gmail at times. Also, if you work with other platforms outside of Google, it may be a challenge for you to get them to play nice with one another.

Outside of integration concerns, Copper expects perfection. You should be aware that it does not feature an editing tool to fix errors once you add data to the software. Plus, finding that inaccurate data is a challenge in itself with Copper’s current display settings.

When people note issues they’ve had with Copper, the most notorious one by far is their propensity to overcharge. Even after you cancel your subscription or remove the credit card on file, they may bill you again, leaving you to go through the arduous process of contacting support and getting a refund.

We came over from Salesforce after six years of use and our sales team couldn’t be happier.

Matthew W. SafetySync

Very straightforward. We don‘t need to send our salespeople to ‘Nutshell Camp’ to learn how to use the product

Kevin E. TrustWorkz, Inc.

A major selling point for us was Nutshell’s integrations. About 70% of our communication is done through Google Mail, so as you can imagine, a seamless integration between our email and our CRM was absolutely critical.

Steven S. Blommerang

Nutshell’s customer service has been great. Not only are they quick to respond, but it’s nice to know they take their users’ suggestions and implement them if they are an improvement to the product.
