Featured Reviews

Charles Dickens - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration
The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable features stem mostly from the sequencing of marketing automation."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"The solution's greatest value lies in its online capability in terms of web content creation."
"The calling option from any region is beneficial."
"When we cannot dedicate a lot of time to each of these, in terms of research and support, it helps us automate some small things and provides opportunities."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"We get a good overview of where everything is in the pipeline."
"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"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."
"They need better UX or templates to change the mood or the look and feel."
"I would prefer it to be easier to manage, or a bit simpler, with fewer options. It's nice to have so many options, but for some clients, having so many options may not be necessary, they can just customize accordingly."
"I believe that the navigation for sales representatives is not very good, and the tool needs improvement since it has become a mess with too much information to manage."
"The only thing that was tough was that the functionality was very dependent on the licensing level. So there were many things I wanted to do, but then I'd have to add on different licenses or purchase different add-ons."
"We had a problem with the tool’s stability once."
"The solution's email capabilities could be improved."
"Certain stability issues could be automatically addressed through automation measures that would ensure absolute stability."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"I do not recall the particulars of the licensing fees."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
