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 bugs 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 easily 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 is a vibrant, powerful introduction to what CRM platforms can do.
Though you can access some of Monday’s best 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 is a downfall as much as a benefit. 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 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:

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.

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.
