User Testimonials
	Nimble	Pipedrive
Likelihood to Recommend	[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. Incentivized Margaret turner Business Development Manager Read full review	Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes. Incentivized Adil Khan Robin Front-end Developer\| Team Lead Read full review
Pros	Nimble is the CRM solution used to strengthen business relationships with our frequent and potential customers. We like that it allows us to follow up with our customers. Its integration with email tools, social networks, and other programs allows me to keep in touch with customers and prospects. Incentivized MP Maria Pulenta Client Account Executive Read full review	Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC) The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed WO Weronika Oesterreicher Account Director Read full review
Cons	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 Incentivized Michael Haberkern Network Engineer Supervisor Read full review	Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact. Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly. Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it. Incentivized Mark Rueckert Sales Director Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	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 Chad Stewart VP of Sales and Marketing Read full review	Unless I find something better... Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	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. Aononna Tazin Software Specialist Read full review	Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Experiment is the only way to start Ed Juline Director of Sales Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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 feature of Nimble works excellently and Nimble is a complete package for CRM. Incentivized LG Leo George Relationship Manager Read full review	The reporting tools with Pipedrive are immensely more advanced and customizable than Clio Grow. We are able to adjust and tweak the reports to make sense for our firm specifically whereas with Clio Grow, you were sort of stuck with the default reports. Pipedrive beats Clio Grow hands down. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	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. Incentivized Maria Wiley Master of Busines Administration Read full review	Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up) We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect. Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
