Integrated marketing platform has streamlined our campaigns and maximized inbound lead generation
I think it is important that HubSpot Marketing Hub's approach seems to be that they have integrated a lot within that single tech stack; it does not require me to buy third-party applications to supplement our needs. This is particularly crucial for small to mid-sized companies as we want to focus efforts on demand generation and fulfillment. While Salesforce has added more modules, they require third-party solutions for website offerings. The main use case is consolidating the tech stack for marketing and sales, making it easy to use and allowing us to invest our resources in generating demand. I believe that one of the best features HubSpot Marketing Hub offers is its seamless integration with other workflows, and the fact that I do not usually have to pay additional for a bunch of modules. While there are extra costs for components like sales, it is not as financially burdensome as with other offerings. The integration of modules is straightforward, allowing for ease of use right out of the box. The seamless integration and consolidated platform have changed how we work by allowing us to focus on true marketing functions where we bring expertise in awareness and demand generation. If I had to spend time, money, and resources on a tech stack that is not integrated, it detracts from personnel time and the marketing investment we can make. HubSpot Marketing Hub enables us to spend more time on our jobs rather than becoming experts on using the platform, which ultimately helps grow the business. 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. With our resources, we create customized campaigns for specific target markets, resulting in better traction than if we were more general. This customization allows us to resonate better with our buyers, yielding a higher return on investment due to increased response and engagement rates.

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

"HubSpot has been very useful for a startup when we didn't have marketing ops expertise."
"If the tool is used efficiently, it definitely provides a return on investment."
"It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."
"The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails, allowing me to know when a person has opened them and if they have been disseminated."
"The best feature of HubSpot Marketing Hub is that it's pretty easy to understand and easy to onboard."
"Their blog platform and form capabilities are very easy to use and integrate within our web site."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Customer Service: Pretty good and very responsive support. Technical Support: Very good"
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The ease of maintenance is the most valuable feature."
"Powerful, solid platform that enables modern marketers to execute best in class nurture programs, lead scoring and campaigns that drive revenue."
"Eloqua's marketing automation tool has made me not only a better marketer but has given me a new outlook on marketing."
"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 love that this product takes the guesswork out of marketing."
"If invested in properly, a worthwhile and extremely beneficial tool that I would advocate to any company looking for something that really delivers functionality and results"
"It is a necessity in the world of marketing to have a strong marketing automation tool."
 

Cons

"I think the customer support has been fine; I have never had a negative experience nor an extraordinarily positive one, but it has been satisfactory as we have not needed it much."
"The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns."
"There are specific functions that we require that don't exist yet. The landing page building feature leaves much to be desired; we abandoned it and integrated with Unbounce."
"HubSpot’s scoring is not good."
"They should integrate a bot, as it would be easier to get the status to the management team without logging into the CRM to get all the required details."
"From a reporting perspective, I wish HubSpot Marketing Hub had more ad hoc reporting ability, as there is a lot of reporting that you can do, but it does not feel as though you can just do some ad hoc reports and pull some things together."
"They've inserted new modules over time, but they're add-ons and require additional licenses depending on packages."
"The solution can scale with no problem; it's just very expensive. One of the drawbacks to HubSpot is that it is a very pricey tool."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"Some areas of Oracle Eloqua that could be improved include enhancements for campaign features, such as the ability to filter contacts based on date intervals or related functionalities that currently require installing apps from the Oracle App Market."
"Email WYSWIG editor is far from being the best I've seen, I recommend to work with FrontPage or Dreamweaver before and copy HTML code."
"It could be a bit more intuitive for the average user. The segmentation portion is difficult for a marketer with no marketing operations experience to understand."
"The dashboards or the data which we get from insights reports could be improved."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features; they haven't adapted to or adopted newer ways of doing business."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"The platform itself will typically cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for this solution. There have many different versions to meet the needs of their customers, such as professional enterprise and basic versions. They charge for the particular feature or components which are available in the license you have."
"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."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub's pricing is reasonable. It is about 800-900 dollars a month. It may be pricey for smaller clients, but for the bigger ones, it's only a small part of their monthly revenue."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"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."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive."
