Nutshell CRMOracle Sales
Considered Both Products
Nutshell
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
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
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.
Oracle Sales
Chose Oracle Sales
Oracle Sales provides much more data than previous tools I've used. While others may be more user friendly or provide more graphic context, Oracle Sales by far has the most impactful data that I use day to day. Being said, I think Oracle Sales can make improvements to make this …
Chose Oracle Sales
Oracle CX Sales was a comprehensive package just because of the modules offered. Compared to the products we evaluated and the in-house solutions we had, including maintaining data on excel and access databases, Oracle CX Sales was a breath of fresh air, considering we got a …
Chose Oracle Sales
As compared to other CRM, this happens to be one of the best and most affordable as there are some cons, but the pros are great, and I have seen an increase in sales by using this platform. It works great for the sales process from start to end, like lead generation to closure.
Chose Oracle Sales
I've used Salesforce and Hubspot. Every customer relationship management software has its pros and cons, but Oracle CX Sales (formerly Oracle Engagement Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud) stacks up really well against the competition. Its data visualization tools are way superior, …
Chose Oracle Sales
Engagement Cloud could be a competitor but also work in tandem by pulling together multiple disparate types of systems into one cohesive platform. Salesforce is just a better product for UI, but Engagement may be better suited for the backend.
Chose Oracle Sales
Oracle Engagement Cloud (formerly Oracle Sales Cloud) is like most other Oracle applications in my experience. It is a robust, powerful tool at the core, but it's a little rough around the edges and requires frequent bug fixes, patches, etc. Our company ultimately decided to …
Chose Oracle Sales
Half the price for the same functionality made the decision a no-brainer.
Chose Oracle Sales
Cosential provides a better out of the box solution for what we need. It also integrates with Vista and Procore.
Chose Oracle Sales
We had an individual here who had a lot of experience working for Oracle. She was able to bring her knowledge from working with her peers and get it installed to where we were in a position to take advantage of the services. We started using this over 5+ years ago so it has …
Chose Oracle Sales
The belief was having all Oracle products would make it more seemless and easier to use. I am not sure that has been the case. Salesforce.com user experience is simply better and all the integrations could have been done with them.
Chose Oracle Sales
It has better reporting capabilities and allow for more customization in regards to switching layouts between security roles or conditions. Also allows for more flexibility with customizations written in code. However, it's not always as user friendly in terms of search, …
Chose Oracle Sales
The 360 view of the customer.
Chose Oracle Sales
I find lightning to be far superior in terms of ease of use, scrubbing, ease of access to information.
Chose Oracle Sales
Everything within Engagement Cloud is built by Oracle and Salesforce refers to its partners to fill the gaps.
Chose Oracle Sales
Oracle Engagement Cloud was the only software that was all inclusive. There is contact management, lead sharing, sales tracking, lots of various reports and a helpful dashboard that blew everyone else out of the water!
Chose Oracle Sales
We previously used a custom built CRM. Oracle CRM blows the old system out of the water.
Chose Oracle Sales
We evaluated SalesForce at the time OSC was selected. We found OSC to be a better fit for our business needs.
Chose Oracle Sales
I have worked with X2CRM and have been exposed to Accelo, Salesforce and MS Dynamics. I feel Oracle Sales Cloud is the standard to be met for SMB customers looking to scale quickly and efficiently. I believe it is the best solution for Mid-market and enterprise customer because …
Chose Oracle Sales
From a user perspective, Oracle Sales Cloud stacks up very well to SalesForce. The amount of native pre-built connectors for the different pillars is attractive from a setup perspective as well as a pricing perspective. The mobility of Oracle Sales Cloud trumps the SFDC …
Chose Oracle Sales
We're currently using a heavily customized instance of Oracle CRM OnDemand, which is quickly reaching the end of its effective life. We also evaluate salesforce.com before selecting Oracle Sales cloud, largely for financial (rather than functionality) reasons.
Chose Oracle Sales
SFDC requires a lot of apps added and the reporting functionality out of the box is not as easy to use.
Chose Oracle Sales
This is Oracle's new and best of breed CRM
Chose Oracle Sales
Clients considered JDEdwards solution for sales because they had used it before moving to Oracle Fusion Cloud but the unreliability of JDEdwards was a big red flag which prompted them to move to Oracle Sales Cloud.
Chose Oracle Sales
Oracle Sales Cloud was our preference for a CRM cloud system because it had great additional features that we also wanted to utilise in addition to the traditional CRM. We really liked the lead tracking and the incentive sales compensation feature. Several department heads …

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.

In the market for Sales and Service, Oracle CX is the best especially in integrating with other systems. It has a stable and huge database that can handle a bunch of data. It gathers all data of customers, accounts, leads, opportunities, service requests in one place and related in a good way. The tools used for reports and analytics as BI is strong and great to use also it is not hard[.]

Pros
  • 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
  • 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.

  • Oracle CRM is incredibly complex making it fairly difficult to learn from scratch
  • The original implementation of Oracle CRM was a lengthy and involved process
  • We have had outages where we cannot connect to Oracle CRM which leaves us at a loss. I'm not sure what the solution to this is, but less outages would be ideal.

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.

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

Overall our organization has completely moved to Oracle CX Sales and now is able to utilize the latest technology backed by AI to provide a much better experience to customers and saving money at the same time. So it's a Win-Win situation. I believe there is a slight learning curve to derive [the] full value out of this but once you are there, you can delight your customers.

The support the Oracle team gives is generally very good. They are patient, willing to help, and their training methods are collaborative and inclusive. They have conducted multiple support sessions and it’s always been a great user experience. The stellar team [is] always on hand to lend support when the right time comes and their helpdesk is always on hand to help.

Excellent online training material. On-demand always helps to access anytime, anywhere. Also, it is essential that in this day and age, video tutorials with actual product screenshots make the learning more useful and fun at the same time. Certifications help test knowledge gained during these tutorial sessions. This was a blessing for fresh users.

Implementation is difficult everytime but this was relatively simple due to the small amount of data we moved
Read full review
If you have never used a CRM program is is hard to know exactly what you need. We had lots of changes during implementation and even more afterward once the users started working in it everyday. Also the partner we used didn't inform us about Allotments and not being able to Batch delete custom objects (you can now in recent releases). There were so many unknowns, that if I had it to do over, I would educate myself more and ask more questions of the partner that we used for implementation.

Return on Investment
  • Tracking - Nutshell allows us to track how many leads or coming for our prospecting or inactive account calling efforts, it has been great for showing results to our management team
  • Organization - Nutshell gives us the opportunity to easily access account or contact history and make connections with the customers we interact with

  • It allows you to stay on top of reorder points for your existing customers. We call them attrition calls.
  • When you orders flowing in, it makes it easier to follow up with buyers for other business units since you already have pre-existing business.
  • As a sales organization, everyone in the company has visibility across the board into what is our profit at any given moment for the day, week, month and year. This keeps up on track for each of our goals.
