Featured Reviews

Xx Ee - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Has supported marketing and sales alignment while leaving room for better customization options
I have recommendations for making it easier to customize. I used to work in a tech company, so it's very easy to do that in-house, and our team did that. It's not easy to customize for a regular user though. In the world of generative AI where it's easy for you to connect different tools, APIs, etc., HubSpot Marketing Hub still requires some customization. For example, if you want to make sure it's connected with a custom CRM or some other CRM, there is some fair bit of modification that's required. Some main differences in my experience between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Salesforce are that Salesforce is a bit un-user-friendly. I have to be fair, I haven't used Salesforce too much, but I think HubSpot Marketing Hub is much more user-friendly.
Madhan Krishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Functional Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Integration with CRM and third-party systems significantly boosts campaign management
The native integration could be improved, as Oracle Eloqua has decommissioned it. Manual uploads require changing the data priority order to top priority. Sometimes form capturing data fails, and campaign response issues occur. The pricing of Oracle Eloqua is quite high as it is an Oracle product. Compared to other marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Pardot, the price point is higher. The technical support is rated at eight because it can be difficult to get in touch with them after working hours. Support is only available during business hours, so if assistance is needed outside of the nine-to-five window, users must wait until the next day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Marketing Hub does an incredible job of tracking and updating client records."
"The contacts and the connection to sales as well as contact enrichment have been the most valuable aspects of the product."
"There are customizable templates and we can easily make the templates more dynamic."
"Absolutely, hands-down the best platform of its kind that we've experienced."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to execute more targeted campaigns, as the effort to launch these campaigns is minimal."
"Collected all of our digital content and allowed us to repurpose and share with other relevant content over time."
"The biggest reason why I like this solution is the fact that it has so much functionality. It's all contained in one product, so you don't have to use multiple products."
"Overall speed and ease of use, plus the sandbox environment that allows for real-time examples to test and share with clients, lets us shine with a deep understanding of the platform."
"I like the insight part, where we can pull the reports. Oracle Eloqua can generate reports on the activities that customers take or that we do. That is one interesting part that I enjoy working with."
"I find Oracle Eloqua to be a highly useful tool for clients and easy for developers, which I believe makes it one of the best options available for B2B marketing."
"Prior to Eloqua our processes were cumbersome and clunky; this tool made our marketers feel the power behind our campaigns and gave them the tools and confidence to execute campaigns themselves."
"E10 is a slick easy to use tool that is also robust for those automation experts."
"Powerful, solid platform that enables modern marketers to execute best in class nurture programs, lead scoring and campaigns that drive revenue."
"The campaign canvas is extremely versatile, while being easy to use."
"It is a necessity in the world of marketing to have a strong marketing automation tool."
"I love that this product takes the guesswork out of marketing."
 

Cons

"Increase the CRM size for sole proprietors before increasing the fee."
"HubSpot’s scoring is not good."
"The upcoming tasks feature could be better. With HubSpot, whenever I put the contact information into Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook, it automatically inputs it into HubSpot. For example, it keeps telling me to contact my Solaris representative as an upcoming task. I've tried changing the contact in it to "not a lead," but it keeps sending me that notification."
"I've had some issues with granting access to third-parties to our data in a way that's still GDPR compliant. It would be better if it had a better way of creating user profiles where I can easily see who has data access to what and why."
"The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns."
"The tool could concentrate on improving the analytics and the overall user experience with AI."
"In terms of analytics and SEO, HubSpot offers a subpar solution."
"It's not easy to customize for a regular user though. In the world of generative AI where it's easy for you to connect different tools, APIs, etc., HubSpot Marketing Hub still requires some customization."
"The solution does not have a good database architecture."
"The reporting features should be improved."
"The UI of the reporting tool (Insight) is a bit dated."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI."
"Due to its advanced nature, some traditional marketing users can be put of by the different approaches and requirements"
"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"The licensing costs are around $4,800 per month. Initially, there's an onboarding fee of around $10,000 or $5,000, but after that, it's just the licensing fee."
"The platform itself will typically cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year."
"I'd rate the solution's pricing in the middle range. I want more regular communication from our customer service manager to help us improve our use of HubSpot Marketing Hub."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub provided me with the startup package with 90% off, but it's still hundreds of dollars a month instead of thousands of dollars a month. There is an additional cost for training and onboarding which is hundreds of dollars. It is expensive and should be reduced."
"Have sufficient content before signing up for the 30-day trial."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"It's quite expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
