Choosing the right CRM is crucial for your business. Explore why Nutshell is the right CRM over Monday CRM. Nutshell’s standout features include:
Monday CRM is a UI theme for Monday’s project management platform that visually and functionally replicates a CRM. You can use this platform to customize your sales cycle to a certain extent, setting it up in a way that works for you and your team.
Monday.com is a good project management tool, but Monday CRM just provides project management with multiple templates that make it look like other tools. From the outside, Monday.com seemingly presents a wide enough range of management tools from IT to creative to sales. But when you get into the details, you’ll see that the software all revolves around the same project management features.
Nutshell is an award-winning CRM platform that helps B2B sales, marketing, and customer teams work together to close more deals and retain more customers.
Powerful enough to support any element of your business and simple enough to implement without a paid admin or IT department, Nutshell is favored among businesses from a wide variety of industries and sizes due to its ease of use, flexible set up, and available features.
Furthermore, Nutshell Sales’ features often outshine the competitors in terms of both usability and comprehensiveness, according to customer reviews. Plus, we have a full Marketing Suite and Engagement Suite, with some of our marketing and engagement tools included with your Nutshell Sales license.
Here at Nutshell, we’re dedicated to helping businesses grow their revenue and solve the most critical challenge of sales and marketing software: motivating teams to use it. We’re passionate about our customers’ success, and we love finding new ways to take the frustrations out of selling, marketing, and managing.
Nutshell not only seamlessly syncs with all of Google Workspace (download our Chrome extension), but we also sync seamlessly with all of Microsoft 365 (download our Outlook extension).
If your company is new to customer relationship management (CRM) software, finding a free program that helps you get started sounds like a win-win. So, you go with Monday.com. For a while, it does the job, but as more issues crop up during your everyday processes, you soon find yourself wondering if there’s a better alternative.
Nutshell is here to answer your questions and offer a new solution to your CRM needs.
Monday.com takes pride in its “fully customizable” appearance and “easy-to-use” interface. Teams can color-code tasks to make them easier for everyone to monitor, and project managers can keep a close eye on operations through their integrated monitoring platform. All in all, Monday provides a useful introduction to what CRM platforms can do.
Though you can access some of Monday’s basic (but limited) features for free, making the software work for you can come at a cost, especially as you work through the first weeks and months with it.
Monday users report a steep learning curve, and its versatility can become a downfall. Such open customization possibilities make it challenging to find and use all of Monday’s best features, which you need if you want to get your money’s worth out of the pricier top service tiers.
Furthermore, if you need consistent access to your CRM, Monday poses other significant challenges. Its mobile app is lacking key features you need on the go, and it doesn’t refresh automatically, which is a major concern when you find yourself in one of Monday’s many low-connectivity spots. If your business plan requires more reliable and comprehensive services, you may need to start exploring Monday.com alternatives.
Nutshell banishes the Monday blues. We take that user-friendly interface and customizability that make Monday great and give you even more with:
We listen to and anticipate the needs of our customers to provide a user-friendly and affordable CRM filled with valuable features.
We regularly add new features and update our software to provide superior service, including:

I’ve honestly had more problems than solutions when it comes to using Monday. It was very visually pleasing, but that’s as far as the benefits went.
Kevin K. Media Production
It is extremely frustrating to be left at the mercy of [Monday’s] horrible tech support. If we had to make the decision all over again, we would have passed on Monday back when we initially had the opportunity to sign up.

Using Monday really feels the way Mondays feel.
