As far as CRM software goes, Salesforce offers one of the more comprehensive platforms. Its detailed interface offers multiple dashboards to track information such as:
It also integrates well with some other platforms and provides you with templates for processes like email marketing to enhance your productivity.
To track all that information, though, you first have to enter it. When you do that in Salesforce, it becomes time-consuming and tedious since there’s no easy way to merge your existing data with it. Over time, this can cause you to miss out on important information, skewing your results dramatically.
As is the pitfall of many extensive CRM platforms, Salesforce’s comprehensive information access leads it to be one of the more complex programs to understand. It also requires a lot of hands-on administration, meaning you may take some hits to your team’s productivity levels and efficiency. When you need a platform that works as fast as you do, consider looking at Salesforce alternatives instead.
From the first moment you work with Nutshell, you’ll see why people make the switch. Our interface is much more modern, enhancing user-friendliness so you can get right down to business. Our platform integrates with most major business systems like Slack and Outlook and allows you to customize data collection and marketing efforts.
We also provide support through onboarding and beyond, helping you transfer all your information with ease and implement changes quickly. Plus, you can transfer your Salesforce data automatically into Nutshell in just a few clicks, no setup required. Our dedicated customer care team will assist you in making Nutshell work for you in any ways you need.
When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.
