JS Jade smith Sales and Marketing Manager 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.

Pipeline CRM Verified User Anonymous Chose Pipeline CRM We are currently using HubSpot for one of our other companies and it has been great.

User Testimonials
	Nimble	Pipeline CRM
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	It is great for managing multiple sales people and the ability to see where the company is in sales cycles. Great for our forecasting. The ability to track email opens has helped us with next steps as well. Incentivized Jeffrey Schneider Chief Operating Officer 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	Flexibility: It provides the flexibility to set it up how you want to use it. Customization is beyond what you probably want or need. Reporting: We were able to setup all types of reporting and tracking. Ease of Use: While the platform was powerful, it was always easy to use. Incentivized Jason Montoya CEO 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	I wouldn't say no areas for improvement exist, but I will say that PipelineDeals takes customer input, shared product roadmap, and supports what they have very nicely. What they provide works out-of-the-box. Improvements can always be made with respect to pre-packaged integration with 3rd party services/solutions, and with extended attributes, but you also want to avoid something that attempts to boil the ocean. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	If we can integrate and easily export and clean all of our data such that it can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. outreach to guests, sending out newsletters to subscribers, doing research and tracking progress, we will definitely renew Incentivized Brian Welk Staff Writer/Editor 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	The user interface is simple and easy to navigate. Anyone who is overwhelmed with some of the more complicated CRM systems will definitely enjoy the simplicity of what PipelineDeals has to offer 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	Any time I have had questions or issues that have come up I've always been able to get a quick response and a resolution to what I was needing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	We are currently using HubSpot for one of our other companies and it has been great. The marketing integrations that come with it blow PipelineDeals out of the water. On top of that, it also has a ticketing system in it where you can tie customer issues to a customer in the CRM. 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	Visibility. Tracking and seeing our activity increased our productivity. Encouraging. Seeing our progress made it more encouraging to keep going when things were hard. Tracking ROI: Our ability to see our ROI on our marketing and sales efforts was powerful in adjusting our efforts as a company. Followup Efficiency: Knowing who we need to reach out to and when is very helpful when managing multiple contacts and leads. Incentivized Jason Montoya CEO Read full review
