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 …
Chose Nimble
See my previous comments in my first answer. I've detailed this answer with a comparison of Insightly vs Nimble.
WORKetc
Chose WORKetc
We needed a CRM that would work with US. We found WORK [etc] was exactly what we needed. being able to customize the CRM around our company and further change as we go has been the best thing about it. We haven't been locked into how it is set up and can change it very quickly.
Chose WORKetc
After the Great Recession, I wanted to reduce the complex system of non-interoperable programs we were using. The idea of one simple, comprehensive system (coupled with Google Apps, that is) appealed to me a great deal. The accountability and documentation features are a very …
Chose WORKetc
We decided to go with WORKetc because it was cheaper than what was offered from the other companies. We liked that the interface was very user-friendly and customer service is very easy to get in contact with. Our company was just starting so it was a good way for us to be …
Chose WORKetc
Smartsheet was a never-ending to do list of unattached items. It wasn't creating a database for us to continue to pull from. WORK[etc] is both project managing and client managing at the same time.
Chose WORKetc
We came across Work[Etc] at the beginning of our CRM search and found it to have greater variety and functionality than other products.
Chose WORKetc
WORK[etc] beats Google Drive hands down for CRM, time tracking, and tickets. We have used Google Drive for each of these before. We were using BaseCamp for support tickets (projects). WORK[etc] beats that one hands down. We now only use Google Drive to keep track of detailed …
Chose WORKetc
  • User-friendly mobile apps, easy to define customization features.
  • The reputation of the company is also a big plus. A lot of people we deal with have heard of the software and are impressed that we use it.
  • There is a great online presence when looking for solutions and feature …
Chose WORKetc
WORKet is a far more rounded product than many of the free / entry level competitors.
Chose WORKetc
Solve360 was our previous tool. It worked fine to capture the information but not for our type of activity where we needed to have one client that may have multiple support issues, training plans, projects, and long term plans all moving at the same time. We tested Salesforce …
Chose WORKetc
Most CRM systems for SMEs are designed for manufacturers. Worketc is designed for consultancies and support companies so in that respect it is one of only a few systems out there that are suitable. They are transparent on their pricing so before you start evaluating you know …
Chose WORKetc
I used HelpSTAR when I first started working with Virtual Resort Manager. This was comprehensive CRM software as well, but I found the learning curve was much more difficult. Companies don't have time to catch up on such a key resource. Once we made the switch, Work[etc]'s …
Chose WORKetc
For web development, Adobe was just like a larger WordPress based software to me. with WORKetc I get just about everything I need to manage clients, projects, workers, and more!
WORKetc is much better because it is integrated with a number of key modules that we use all the time. It's also proven to be very robust in its operation and search facility of managing over 4000 contacts. We also like it because it provides a great level of certainty that …
Chose WORKetc
WORKetc is more intuitive and easier to use - and cheaper!
Chose WORKetc
This software does everything Basecamp does and provides more options and task work flow.
Chose WORKetc
WORKetc is the best bang for your buck. It allows you to control the company from one program and training is easy. It lets you customize to allow you to complete everything that you need to get done. I like the fact that all your contacts are all in one area.
Chose WORKetc
I have used, SugarCRM, SalesForce, ZenDesk, Zoho, FreshDesk, and WORKetc. In my opinion WORKetc does it better than all the other products do for our organization.
Chose WORKetc
WORKetc met all of our feature needs under one umbrella at a reasonable price.
Chose WORKetc
My team demoed every major CRM on the market and came away confused and disappointed. Our sister centers in all 50 states are using a variety of CRMs to manage their businesses. None of them are completely happy. We think WORKetc has the potential to be a near perfect solution …
Chose WORKetc
We have used multiple CRM tools and WORKetc is by far the best I have experienced.
Chose WORKetc
Work etc is in all ways the best thing on the market for an all in one efficiency and CRM. All of our data is in one place and when someone send in a help ticket that is actually a sales item we are able to easily and consistently add the information needed and complete the …
Chose WORKetc
We don't use the CRM parts - only the Time & Billing - can't really comment!
Chose WORKetc
Salesforce and Goldmine may offer more features but for a small business they were many times more expensive.
Chose WORKetc
I have not found a competitor that solved the same needs. Though individual cloud apps may work better individually, overall having everything in one place won me over.

[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.

If you are looking for a way to organize customer data and projects across regions, then WORK[etc] will get the job done. For our company, the country is divided into 3 regions and each region has a team of workers in charge of providing ongoing support services to that region. WORK[etc] has organized our company exponentially and given us a solid database to pull from to ensure we're meeting contractual requirements, providing timely deliverables and staying ahead of the game. Because I only work in a service industry, I don't know if WORK[etc] would be appropriate for product based companies, However, if you were offering anything [product or service] that required online support, the system will function well.

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.

  • Technical support with issues that arise for us - we have had a few glitches with the software as to how we want to use it and the WORK etc team have been on the ball with helping us and getting back to us with a resolution to the issue.
  • Setup and configuration - we needed a CRM that was built for us and WORK etc was able to deliver for us.
  • Super easy to work with and get to grips with.
  • Our staff have had no problems with getting up to speed

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
Read full review
  • A little thing I'd like to see (haven't suggested it to WORK[etc] yet) is a bit more granularity in assigning new support tickets. It's very easy to assign one, or dozens. of new support tickets to a category and/or individual without having to open the tickets. I'd like to see that be a bit more granular, being able to assign a priority, deadline and/or client to each ticket without having to open the ticket. For all I know, that can be done now...as powerful as this program is, and as much as we customize it and use it daily, I believe we're only harnessing 2 or 3% of its capabilities.

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

It is a major task to change your CRM system and the effort gets more significant the larger your business becomes. Changing is therefore not a decision I would take lightly. The system is working well for us and any problems are relatively minor in context so overall it works well for us. Oh... and the Worketc team will always listen to suggestions on how to improve!

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.

My staff hates it, our clients require transparency and you manual have to enter notes, billing is horrific, as it does not subtotal by type - so as a T&M shop there is no way to easily see how much was spent to each matter or service type.

It's just not as responsive as it was when we started out. I still love the product but I have to wait more than ever between screens and clicks. Not sure if its just that they need to upgrade their servers or what. I hope they do it soon though!! Hope this helps.

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.

WORKetc offers maybe the best support in the business. Product documentation and training resources are outstanding. Support tickets or inquiries are answered quickly. If you do need to address an issue in person, it is easy to schedule a 15 or 30 minute live call with their fantastic support staff who are fast, friendly and skilled

The implementation of the system was fairly easy. Because of our previous experience with a similar system, we were ready and working on the product as soon as we announced the switch. The system also allowed us to simplify our processes by integrating timesheets and project management directly into our CMS.

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.
Read full review
  • It has given us a way to create leads easily and follow-up with each of them appropriately. With the fact that you can set-up todo's for each lead that can remind you to follow-up on a specific date and time, it's helped increase our rate of making a successful sell.
  • Thanks to the information that can be captured under each of our clients, we have better customer services since we are continually updated with all communication and news that we enter in the system.
  • It has also helped with the overall organization of our communities and engagements. This makes us more efficient and keeps us ahead of the game for our various front facing services.

WORKetc Screenshots

Screenshot of WORKetc's customizable dashboard - gives an instant bird's eye view of data. A summarized widget for all of WORKetc's modules can be added to the dashboard, while those that are not needed can be hidden and the most important can be dragged to the top.Screenshot of WORKetc contacts - organized in a single location. Every item created, every activity worked on, and all email correspondence can be traced back to a contact. These automatically become accessible and trackable from that contact's activity history stream, a filterable, customizable list that tracks the relationship with that contact.Screenshot of WORKetc's projects - the bins for everything related to a client including tasks, sub-projects, discussion, files, timesheets, expenses, and other items. WORKetc allows unlimited nesting of sub-projects within projects and an unlimited number of tasks within each sub-project. Multiple project views are available, including project tree view and a Gantt Chart.Screenshot of one of WORKetc has over 40 "out of the box" reports, giving access to needed stats and information. The reports that are used most often can be kept in the "My Reports" tab to keep them at the forefront of the reporting area. Reports can also be bookmarked.
