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 most valuable feature of HubSpot CRM is the forms."
"The best feature in HubSpot CRM for us is the custom objects that we integrated. This allows us to include more information on the contact profile, company profile, and other details, making it easier for our staff to have all the necessary information before contacting our customers.Additionally, having all this information in a centralized place is highly beneficial for us."
"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."
"The product is user-friendly for sales personnel and other salespeople."
"Easy to use and easy to setup CRM software, with good stability and scalability."
"The ability to track revenue and complete forecasting has been the most valuable feature."
"HubSpot is one of the best tools that is free, helping me start quickly."
"It is quite customizable if I know what I am doing."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"The only problem with HubSpot at the moment is the pricing models."
"HubSpot CRM could improve by reducing the price."
"The only challenge with the solution is that it captures data in a raw manner, so organizing that information is still left to the administrator or the user, and they need to organize it into structured fields."
"All the features of HubSpot CRM are not buddled together, you need to purchase different modules to have a complete solution."
"This solution could be improved if it offered more opportunity to customize how it is used, including adding different rules."
"HubSpot CRM could be flexible and customizable."
"There is a limitation with the integration with other tools or workflows."
"The mobile application for HubSpot CRM could improve. There are a lot of weaknesses and limitations. Salesforce.com's mobile application is much better."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's in the upper range. If 10 represents the most expensive, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. Its price also depends on the size of your team."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"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."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
