Aptean CRMNimble
Considered Both Products
Aptean CRM
Chose Aptean CRM
My expectations with Salesforce.com were quite high but it was a useless tool as it didn’t concede the nature of our work and had not had enough features to make our work manageable and we have witnessed no change in our customer relationship management but on the other side if …
Chose Aptean CRM
IntuitiveERP included this CRM package with our license, so there was no extra cost to implement it. Salesforce is expensive so we felt that we could use this package to justify our need for CRM by implementing this package, and if it was improving our sales we could say that …
Nimble
Chose Nimble
I used to use Workdesk and it was fantastic, you could easily work out what was needed and help desk would support you not just give you the tips to read.
Chose Nimble
To help track products for the most demanding clients, Nimble has been an inspiration. With this tool, we can easily manage our customers and leads. This tool has many themes and templates for sending emails and notifications. In contrast to other CRM programs, Nimble is a …
Chose Nimble
I believe that Nimble is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software that is beyond conventionalism. I feel that when a business will implement Nimble’s channel then you will be able to have much more professional access to customer contact. I would say it is one of the …
Chose Nimble
I really like Nimble because it has always been influential and inspiring in fostering product tracking for the most influential and demanding clients. Other than that, Nimble has allowed me in choosing the correct moment to intervene and offer the required information to …
Chose Nimble
I cannot regard Salesforce as a perfect tool for CRM. I found Salesforce lacks many important features that we were looking for. Moreover, [the] email marketing feature of Salesforce wasn’t working well and I didn’t like that feature. But on the other side, the email marketing …
Chose Nimble
CRM tools need to be proactive, but unfortunately Agile didn’t fit well with our business demands, and we found Agile buggy and sometimes it results in slowing down our system, so that was a big issue for us. Luckily with Nimble, we haven't faced any such issue and it fit well …
Chose Nimble
Nimble is best of all. It has more reliable features than Freshdesk. I was using a lot of contact software for organization and it easily integrated with them effectively. Easily integrate with Google products, outlook and email
Chose Nimble
Nimble is mainly used for contact management and email tracking, linking companies and people into a single database, and using the database as a communication panel.
Chose Nimble
Nimble was either on par or much better than most platforms we evaluated in the initial stage of shortlisting the top 2 or 3 platforms.
Chose Nimble
Nimble has a straightforward setup, [is] easy to use, and has a fast and intuitive interface. This was the plus point for their choice.
Chose Nimble
Nimble has given me the tools I need to get the data from potential customers and use it to transform them into potential customers.
Chose Nimble
Nimble is a good CRM for someone who wants to use it for what it can do out of the box. Someone who doesn't need social media links in the client records. If you want to customize a CRM to look and feel like you want it to, I'd suggest you go someplace else. Nimble does not …
Chose Nimble
Nimble is more cost effective than both. Easier to use than Salesforce. It's built for the user and the person in the customer facing role to make their lives easier. The others are built for making managers lives easier and can get frustrating for end users.
Chose Nimble
I think they are neck in neck. Nimble might be cheaper and their customer support might be just a smidge better. I would be happy with both products.
Chose Nimble
Nimble is much better than Salesmate as it's user interface having many features and helping me to manage all day-to-day activities easily without any interruption.
Chose Nimble
Both Insightly and HubSpot are very capable systems in terms of CRM capabilities. However, Nimble is indispensable to us for its data enrichment feature that gives us the advantage of intel that is crucial for getting responses from our email campaigns We love how smart the …
Chose Nimble
I haven't used another CRM for at least 8 years. While I keep up to date on key CRMs, I feel it would be unfair to Nimble and the other CRMs of me to compare them here.
Chose Nimble
Every CRM has about 80% of what I need so there is always a few details that don't work exactly how we need them.
Chose Nimble
I selected Nimble for the group message integration and social media integration. The other tools that I looked at had restrictions that kept me from the ease of managing my customers. Prospecting is a big part of my business, and having the triggers for contact from Nimble is …
Chose Nimble
Google Apps combined with Communication History and the Social portion of Nimble places it in a category by itself, in my opinion.
It is very cost effective.
I have found other tools cannot compete on pricing and the social aspect.
Chose Nimble
Nimble has proven to be a positive and well-respected application within our company for setting us up for success at building personal and meaningful associations with decision makers. It has been a significant reason why we have gained acceptance and trust from those who we …
Chose Nimble
We checked out Hubspot CRM. You get a lot for free from them but it seems that to get the functions contained in Nimble you'd have to spend 2X per user to get the sales pro. To get the marketing aspects you'd really need the HS marketing package which is far more expensive than …

This is a solid basic platform. It's not Salesforce but it IS integrated with IntuitiveERP and is included in the price. For the cost, you certainly can't get this type of functionality in other small CRM packages. If you have IntuitiveERP already and are looking to move towards a CRM package it's certainly a way to help you get your footing before deciding you need a larger scale package, but I don't know that you'd want to invest in Intuitive JUST for their CRM cycle.

[Nimble] has been the best platform for us to manage contacts and information from the
contacts. Great dashboard, fast UI, and complete package with all features
helping us a lot. I would definitely recommend this software to other
businesses to have this in their ecosystem to be more productive.

Cons
  • I was expecting some more flexibility in it.
  • Its customer support is highly non-vigilant and should learn how to work responsibly.

  • I dont like the functionality aspect of how one of the controllers is always on standby, they dont load balance, meaning you can be on the same controller for the life of the appliance
  • The 4.x firmware was pretty buggy and it gave off a lot of temp alarms

It's truly a great system if you get it for the right reasons. Don't expect it to do everything a mid market organization would require but for any small business or mid to large organizations which would like to integrate to it for the social insights capabilities this is a leading solution which can add value immediately

Usability
Its simple yet full-fledged interface is doing wonders in making our work time- effective. It is not just cost-effective but the marketing automation and sales force automation has proved very beneficial for us. By the grace of its reports, we can analyze intricacies.

The platform has more advantages and positives as compared to challenges or negatives in comparison to other comparable products and platforms available in the marketplace. It was extremely easy to get started with the initial deployment which makes the choice much clearer. Finally its tight integration not just with Microsoft O365 suite, but also with [the] most popular social media platforms available makes it a very favorable platform in its domain.

Nimble customer service is enjoyable. With great patience, they work tirelessly to help their customers. It was highly beneficial to employees to have access to remote support sessions. We decided to get in touch with them to learn more about any previously mentioned features. Because of this, Nimble has a strong foundation. I think it's a fantastic option.

Return on Investment
  • This is its other major feature that I consider as its strength as Salesforce automation helps in saving time.
  • I am highly invigorated by the working capacity and the way it manages customer relations.
  • It lacks Mobile access and any kind of web portal and it is a major drawback.

  • As the investment made with nimble is only 15 dollars per month, it is easy to return it and double profits in a short time, but this is totally relative to the number of people that are working on the platform account.
  • Based on the above, it is easy to deduce that nimble is a little better suited to small businesses that require a smaller number of sellers, since it does not ensure that all sellers can cover their quota.
