Data Export Limitations

high migration

Users report that exporting data from Nutshell does not return the data in the same format it was imported. The full export provides a zip file with multiple files that do not match up, making it difficult to migrate away from the platform. This creates effective vendor lock-in.

Unfortunately, Nutshell doesn't provide this feature, although they claim they do. All you get is a zipfile with six files that don't match up. We are missing the most important part of our database, which is our updates.

Limited Customization for Service Companies

medium implementation

Nutshell is designed primarily for retail/product sales companies and may require costly workarounds for service-based businesses. Users report spending additional time and effort on manual data manipulation to get accurate reporting.

trustpilot

Lack of support, it is "built for retail, not a service company" and we are constantly having to do workarounds to perform the tasks we need to finish. The reporting has also been inaccurate without manual manipulation from an exported csv file
