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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"HubSpot CRM helps our company to organize and track a high number of leads easily."
"What I like most about HubSpot CRM is the ability to track how an interaction goes along the pipeline. I also like that you can use HubSpot CRM to schedule when you want a particular email to go out. Another valuable feature of the solution is having all your client information in a consolidated database."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"The price of HubSpot CRM is lower than Salesforce and this is a key benefit."
"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."
"Through this solution, you now have the ability to do marketing campaigns, mass email automation, plugging you with your social media, your website, etc."
"The native integration with Outlook is something that I find really useful in HubSpot CRM."
"HubSpot CRM is one of the best CRMs I have used."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"They are trying to make it better by adding agent.ai to HubSpot, however, it's in a very early stage."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"I cannot upload a long recorded Zoom conversation to HubSpot."
"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."
"Sometimes, the usability is not intuitive. There is a lot of work required to set it up the way I like."
"The pricing could improve."
"The price of HubSpot CRM is expensive."
"Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"If one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing as a five. HubSpot CRM is much more expensive than Salesforce. My company probably pays around 40 USD per user monthly."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"The price of HubSpot CRM is expensive."
"There are a few licensing payment models, such as annual or monthly. The solution is modular, which means that if you need a specific capability or function within the organization, you can purchase it specifically and you don't have to purchase something that is only utilized by 20 percent of the organization."
"We use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."
"There is a cost for the solution. However, I am not aware of the price."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
