Nutshell vs. HubSpot comparison

With over 100,000 users worldwide, HubSpot has set industry standards for price and user-friendliness since its start in 2006. While it is an excellent choice for businesses new to customer relationship management (CRM) software, there are better options for expanded integration and tracking capability. Here’s how Nutshell compares.

HubSpot Pros

The thing that draws in most of HubSpot’s customer base is the software’s price and ease of use. First of all, you can get HubSpot for free, which is part of the reason it’s such a well-known name in CRM. Its user-friendly functions make it simple for anyone to get started, so you can instantly begin using HubSpot’s best features:

  • Tracking schedules, meetings, and appointments
  • Taking notes and setting reminders
  • Task management
  • Creating templates
  • Automatic phone calling
  • Using sequencing tools

HubSpot Cons

While this free software brings with it much to love, many users find more issues cropping up the longer they use it. Common challenges companies encounter with HubSpot are:

  • Misreported activity
  • Issues with importing past transactions, communications, and sales
  • Poor integration ability
  • Unreliable searching and domain recognition
  • Limited report creation capability

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.

Michelle M. Statewide Aquastore, In

The perfect blend of function and ease of use! I can’t believe how good Nutshell is!
