Nutshell vs Freshsales comparison

Freshsales boasts award-winning service on its customer relationship management (CRM) software page, but as with most services, it takes more than a cursory look to know what you’re buying. Nutshell’s comparison with Freshsales gives you an idea of what existing customers love and hate about the site so you can decide which software is best for you.

Freshsales Pros

A quick visit to the Freshsales website shows you funky graphics and a commitment to accelerating revenue with customer-focused sales. Freshsales shines in matters of graphic design and ease of payment. Clients laud the brand’s attractive graphics and visual reporting efforts. They also note smooth credit card payments and contact filtration options.

Freshsales Cons

Past the attractive start, though, many customers encounter significant concerns, like:

  • Implementation concerns
  • Confusing interface
  • Limited reporting options
  • Limited customization abilities
  • Significant bugs affecting productivity

What brings Freshsales customers the most challenges of all is the lack of customer support. When they encounter issues, they’re often left to deal with them alone or without an avenue to manage them at all. This is especially problematic when it comes to the frequent billing concerns, including stopped auto-renewals which cannot be restarted without contacting customer support.

Nutshell: A great Freshsales alternative

When it comes to Freshsales alternatives, Nutshell is the clear winner with:

  • Exceptional customer care: Whatever plan you choose, our Nutshell support team is available through email and live chat when you need us.
  • Dedicated onboarding support: If setting up new software is what’s keeping you from taking the plunge, Nutshell can help. Our sales team will assist you in importing past sales and communications so you can start with us exactly where you are.
  • Detailed, customizable reports: Get information on the data and analytics you need without sifting through irrelevant reports. Our insights deliver what you need to continue growing your brand.
  • Extensive integration options: Integrate Nutshell with the software you’re already using, like Outlook, Mailchimp, and Slack.
  • Affordable, transparent pricing: Get more than what you pay for without any hidden fees.
  • User-friendly interface: Get to work as soon as you install our software—our intuitive interface will help you along every step.

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

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.
