Room For Improvement

HubSpot CRM needs better integration, customization, pricing, interface scalability, support, and enhanced analytics, email, and mobile app features.

A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features.
Director at Big Billion Ventures Pvt Ltd

Growth Associate at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

HubSpot CRM offers free and enterprise options, but its pricing is higher than competitors despite customization benefits.

Compared to other top-niche products, they are less, and it is good.
Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The pricing was good; we negotiated, and since we are a small business, he understood our needs and provided good pricing.
Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies
However, the basic problem with LeadSquared is that they tend to project pricing on the higher side and want to compensate by getting clients to take additional services that are required.

The main benefit that HubSpot CRM provides for me is that I can complete a campaign and rather than sending metrics to my sales team manually, I can customize them ad hoc based on the requirement.
Campaign Specialist at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The most valuable feature for me is when I encounter a company or a person, I can drop in their URL, and it pre-populates various details like address information and other contacts they might have.
President at iCIO, Inc
When a lead is captured, the sales team gets in touch with the person who made the inquiry, and when they receive updates via phone call or email, they can update the lead's status automatically through automation.
Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
LeadSquared provides a bot facility that sends leads in real-time, which are considered hot leads because students directly land on the website to search for programs at Amity University, leading to high conversion chances.
Senior Manager- Admissions at Sector 125
Once I create a segment or label of contacts, I can use the automation for that label, which significantly reduces my workload.

Sadiq H - PeerSpot reviewer
Campaign Specialist at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automation and integrated analytics have transformed how my team manages campaigns and deals
There are a couple of things which I would improve in HubSpot CRM. There are limitations with user limitations. I would want a feature where certain users do not need to export data and I want to be notified if anyone is exporting. That feature exists for a certain number of users, but it should also apply to lower-level users who should be notified as well. Second, the analysis and insights need to be provided on a weekly basis. For example, I would want to see that in this week we sent an email to a certain number of prospects, information about which was my highest open rate email campaign and which was my lowest engagement campaign, and insights from HubSpot AI that can be utilized. I would want to know which subject lines we gathered that received more attention as a form of data analytics information. Additionally, if I have one hundred contacts today and a couple of them are not active, for example, if eighty contacts are active and twenty contacts have never opened my email, I would want to trash them because they are not engaging. That kind of information would be very useful.
Shakti Anand - PeerSpot reviewer

Automation has transformed admissions follow-up and now drives higher lead-to-fee conversions
LeadSquared can be improved on various parameters. The platform should onboard various other vendors, such as a voice bot, which is a crucial requirement in the current market. LeadSquared is currently in the development phase of a voice bot, which is essential for connecting with prospective leads in a short duration. Improving the Converse feature, which is currently complex, will impact costing; however, if Converse is implemented, there would be no need to associate with other life or chatbots. Converse would suffice the requirement for voice and chatbots, and the voice AI could also replace the voice bot currently sought in the market. Regarding reporting, it has become easier with the new UI platform, but the reporting section can still be improved by providing an easier view for the analytics section. The current setup is slightly complex for a normal sales user to access and understand reports pulled from LeadSquared. The analytics section needs improvement, and there are filters that also require work. Triggering the number of leads that have not been connected after multiple dialing attempts requires multiple combinations through advanced filter options to pull out that data, which is complex for sales users. Certain tabs based on customer requirements and customization should become more accessible for the calling team to help them achieve connected call goals.
