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

"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 most valuable feature is their marketing automation service and sales lead management."
"The setup is very easy."
"It avoids creating duplicate records by updating Salesforce automatically when changes occur in HubSpot CRM."
"HubSpot's customer service is excellent and fast."
"The most valuable features of HubSpot CRM are ease of use, lead generation, and follow-up leads. Additionally, there are a lot of connectors to other solutions, such as Jira and Slack. Whether it's a scrum tool or the ticketing tool, it has a connector."
"The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list."
"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 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."
"HubSpot CRM could improve in integration with other solutions."
"HubSpot CRM is easy to use compared to others solutions and anyone can use it. However, for enterprise companies, I would recommend Salesforce because it has established partners, can be more reliable, has more features, and has a more powerful integration with ERP modules which is important for enterprise companies. For multi-locations and multinational companies, Salesforce is one of the best."
"An area to be improved in HubSpot CRM is its customization capabilities."
"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."
"The pricing could improve."
"This solution could be improved if it offered more opportunity to customize how it is used, including adding different rules."
"The response time is slow. It takes time for them to come back with solutions."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
