Nutshell vs. Zoho comparison

Many users come to Zoho when they’re new to customer relationship management (CRM) software or think they only need the basics to bring their company success. But at Nutshell, you can get those features and more with the same ease of use you need to review data quickly and stay focused on your business.

Zoho is a company that offers a complete CRM platform

Zoho Pros

Zoho excels in offering affordable, user-focused CRM software. They’ve designed a flexible system that brands can use to meet their basic needs in reporting, marketing, and data collection.

Zoho Cons

However, Zoho tends to present a number of challenges for users, such as:

  • Learning curve for people who are not used to working with technical software
  • Unreliable software at times
  • Slow customer support

All of these challenges combine to inspire many users to search for Zoho alternatives in short order.

With an interface I can teach to someone in five minutes, Nutshell does everything we need without the complexity and ‘clunkiness’ of other CRMs.

Matt S. Web Talent Marketing

One thing that really keeps us using Nutshell is just the great support you guys provide. The great follow up on issues, and always listening to the customers’ needs and requests stands out and is above and beyond.

Rob D. Vega Consulting Group

The [Zoho] UI is not very pleasant. It really does take the fun and life out of doing sales. The interface is very dull and over complicated.

Anonymous reviewer SoftwareAdvice.com

[Zoho] support is lousy. Nearly impossible to get a knowledgeable person on the phone…The switching cost for us was huge.

Al S. Exit Strategies Group, Inc.

Nutshell took me to the next level. I went from $40,000 a year to $100,000. Really love you guys.
