Considered Both Products
Creatio
Chose Creatio
Salesforce CMS, ClientTrack by Eccovia, CaseWorthy and Penelope
Chose Creatio
Creatio was both more affordable and easier to customize than Salesforce, if slightly less robust, and represented an easy decision when we made the switch.
Chose Creatio
We previously used Salesforce as our CRM. While it has great functionality, we found it to be cost prohibitive to always require consultants to configure and update as our business needs or processes changed. No other platform reviewed ticked as many boxes as we needed in its …
Chose Creatio
Creatio is miles ahead of Infor - now, looking back on Infor, it seems very dated and restricted. I love how you can work things out and change things yourself in Creatio. And if things are a bit more complicated, you have your dedicated team person to help you. We have …
Chose Creatio
Although we haven't totally removed Oracle CX Sales, it's less effective due to its outdated sales marketing capabilities unlike Creatio, which offers robust tools at a lower cost.
Chose Creatio
Sure, the low code approach is eating the world and [is] a powerful feature in this CRM. But training time and time for implementation could be much [longer] than expected.
Chose Creatio
We selected Creatio because it's the most optimal system for our current business requirements and their further scale [development]. Also, we valued the support of the vendor and the big community of implement teams.
Chose Creatio
One-stop-shop for your sales and service needs
Chose Creatio
[Creatio is] more flexible and much more economical.
Chose Creatio
Creatio provides powerful features at an affordable cost. It is easy to customize and set up. The user interface is intuitive. It is possible to set up business rules with an easy interface without writing code. The basic setup can be performed by a business user, without …
Chose Creatio
I had used this as an intern, didn't work much on it.
Chose Creatio
Creatio is much faster and more configurable than Salesforce. The first thing that I noticed when migrating from Salesforce to Creatio was how few clicks it took to record activity or create a new task. Similarly, the page loading speed is so much faster which saves me hours …
Chose Creatio
We selected Creatio to replace Hubspot because it was a better fit for our objectives.
Chose Creatio
For this customer, I've been choosing among AmoCRM, Insightly, Bitrix24, Zoho Bigin (and CRM) and many others. The choice of Creatio was predicted mostly by the fact, that the company was using Terrasoft CRM previously. So it was a safe decision and choice to have the same …
Chose Creatio
The system’s UI, rich functionality, and a great potential for scalability made the system stand out among other vendors. It is a fully-fledged solution that allowed us to work with customer data way more efficiently and improve our processes on a regular basis.
Chose Creatio
The user-friendliness of Creatio was a big selling point along with the low-code initiatives, both of which were important to our business. With Salesforce, unlimited wasn't really unlimited. You couldn't deploy an on-site instance and the overall cost of the system far …
Chose Creatio
Creatio stood out from other vendors in terms of both the system’s usability and robustness. We were impressed by the flexibility of customization that the system provides. On top of that, Creatio’s technical support is always very quick to respond and helpful.
Nutshell
Chose Nutshell
When I first started with BCI, they were using ACT!. It was hard to navigate and there were a lot of spots for duplicate information that made it hard to know if you were in the right spot or not. Then if you had trouble, you would spend 3 hours on the phone with customer …
Chose Nutshell
QuickBooks is great for accounting needs, but Nutshell is a better CRM. It's more customizable allowing us to ensure our sales process is smooth and the same each time a customer uses our services.
Chose Nutshell
We came from using Big Contacts, which was a simpler CRM program that we just simply outgrew. We entertained a few other CRM programs before deciding on Nutshell back in 2017. We did a demo with SalesForce and it was more advanced than what we needed. I honestly can't quite …
Chose Nutshell
My understanding is HubSpot CRM is cheap and strength is in marketing/blogs, etc. Nutshell CRM is easy to use and powerful tracking reports.
Chose Nutshell
Well, my team had trials for these others and they all prefer Nutshell for different reasons. I prefer it as I need a user-friendly software to help me out as I am not a big tech guy. I have heard others in the office say things like they like the way activities are scheduled …
Chose Nutshell
We used Salesforce trial, but that was way too costly. We started using Nutshell CRM out of necessity, just to get organized and it seemed easy to use. We now use InfoFlo, simply because it is computer-based, unlimited installs, and a one-time cost.
Chose Nutshell
Nutshell is just as good as these others (for small-medium companies), is much easier to use, and offers more easy-to-use flexibility, and customization that would require an FT admin on these other tools.
Chose Nutshell
We transitioned from GoldMine to Nutshell about 4 years ago, and in fairness to GoldMine, we were using an older version of their software. It was installed locally and didn't have any remote accessibility, so doing anything from the road was a challenge, to say the least. We …
Chose Nutshell
We have used Dynamics CRM for many years. While the tool was indeed powerful, we found ourselves longing for something that has a lower "friction" to just getting things done.
Chose Nutshell
I did not select Nutshell CRM. My employer has that information, but as far as I feel, Nutshell has better uses than Zoho CRM and can be used just as effectively in B2B relations. We only use Nutshell for candidate data, so business contacts are not mixed.

CreatioNutshell CRM
Likelihood to Recommend
Creatio is well suited in following scenarios: Complex Business process modelling and automation, Low code No code development which is best for efficient timelines, customized reporting and dashboarding, seamless integration with other technologies. Scenarios where Creatio is less appropriate: Solutions which require high cutomizations on the frontend side as this can be done by javascript modifications but it increases the load on the page and slows it down.

Nutshell is very customizable making it a good fit for smaller companies with out huge budgets for these services. I would think in a larger scale business, you would want a system that is specifically designed for the particular industry.

Pros
  • Creatio's client success team is super. The team is collaborative, solution-oriented, and client-driven. We have weekly meetings with the team. They show up prepared with solutions/ideas to business requests and they are clearly engaged.
  • Creatio's infrastructure team has been critical to our ability to execute our cloud strategy. They have worked with us to set up our testing and production environments within Azure, assisted in testing, and are responsive and flexible to our unique requirements.
  • Creatio has been very flexible to requests for customization. We have taken their low-code out-of-the-box solution and "Ringlerized" it. The benefit for us is an application that meets our niche business needs.

  • Nutshell is great with reminders from calls, emails, meetings, and activities it helps you track all of the necessary every day must-do activities.
  • The best thing about Nutshell CRM is that multiple team members can refer to it whether they are in the office or on the road. Nutshell is great on a PC, Mac, or pretty much any mobile device.
  • One of the many things that I personally like about Nutshell is how user-friendly it is. Once you work with it for a day or two everything is super easy to manage.

Cons
  • When we started using Creatio in 2022 the new user interface had just been released and did not include all the features we needed; however, we used a more classic user interface and were still satisfied with the results.
  • The ability to capture a digital signature directly within the application was missing in the base system; however, Creatio connected us with a partner that provided a solution for this specific situation.

  • SWOT analysis --- currently we put this in as custom fields but they don't link up at all and are hard to read/navigate. We also use the custom fields for other information we want to capture. It would be nice to build those in so they can show the info as bullet points or something --- currently paragraph form and hard to find things at a glance.
  • Funnel could use some work. Only shows how many leads are currently in that part of the pipeline which doesn't give us a good historical comparison.

We have always used a CRM and Creatio has proven to be much more effective in meeting our needs than our previous provider. Its customizability will allow us to adapt this product as our business may change in the future.

This is perfect for a small business / Home based business with SaaS. Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.

Usability
It's very user friendly, at least to me ;-) No downtime, quick with updates, lot's op possibilities and options to explore and work with. I also realy like to use the Creatio Academy, it's a bit much but in this case less is more is the opposite: the more the better

It's a good system! However, it's not industry specific so we don have some workarounds to make it work for our company

Reliability and Availability
Other than the daily maintenance window where the server may be inaccessible for a few minutes, there have been no issues with accessing our Creatio site. The daily maintenance window is outside normal business hours so it does not affect our Users - just myself when I am looking to implement changes.

Support Rating
Creatio support is generally very responsive and often responds much faster than the expected SLAs. We have very rarely had "blocking" problems when creating new applications or features, and in all cases, Creatio has been able to help us or direct us to a solution. Overall, we are very satisfied with their support.

Nutshell's support team has always been great and they tend to go above and beyond. They are polite, friendly, personable and great listeners. They are also great about sending follow up emails too.

Online Training
Most of the roadblocks to learning were not discovered until the users were actually in the system using it on a day to day basis. Our Customer Success Manager has offered to setup additional training sessions as needed to close the gaps in our learning. Some areas which required some additional training are setting up filters, dashboards, and generating reports.

Implementation Rating
The project manager for our implementation was great to work with and took the time to understand our business. We felt very comfortable going into the project with a reasonable scope of work to provide us with a functional version of Creatio to meet our needs. Unfortunately, we came across multiple challenges with this partner in their deliverables and timelines. Thankfully Creatio was able to provide support resources to ensure we were able to launch. We have since changed partners for our third-party support.

  • We went from manually processing Work Orders into Invoices once a day - representing significant impact to turn around speeds - to submitting automatically in real time, eliminating a great deal of human transcription errors and freeing up a great deal of operations time
  • Custom Implementation automation in Creatio has eliminated 4-6 hours of configuration work per sale in comparison to our old manual methods
