Featured Reviews

Kapil Rampal - PeerSpot reviewer
Good customization and social media management with helpful AI capabilities
It has made access control very easy. We don't need to share the actual account credentials with any employee. They can work through HootSuite. We can also manage all our social media in one interface with personalization. It has improved efficiency and security and has delivered significant cost savings. In the enterprise edition, there is also an option to manage user access, and you can limit or grant access, depending on the business needs. For example, marketing can be given access to analytics, customer support to messages, and social teams to the postings. Also, you can have levels for approvals.
Rausibell Medina - PeerSpot reviewer
Good management, keeps us organized, and an easy to use interface
Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard. We are missing updates to the marketing report generation and the same in the continuous monitoring. The cloud fails many times as we have tried to save documents or progress, and it does not do it, and that leads to losing important information. Nimble is an effective CRM for our business. It is ideal for managing our customers and employees. In particular, it supports business relationship development and leads tracking to maintain control. Nimble has a central repository for all our contact information on our phones and desktops. Through this tool, we can manage our prospect and customer data.
