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.

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

"Their blog platform and form capabilities are very easy to use and integrate within our web site."

"HubSpot offers native integrations with over three hundred third-party tools, which is a significant advantage."

"The product's initial setup phase was pretty easy."

"It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."

"There are customizable templates and we can easily make the templates more dynamic."

"With 18 companies to manage, manual handling would be impractical. HubSpot's automation facilitates pre-scheduling, greatly enhancing our efficiency."

"Technical support is helpful and responsive."

"It saves a lot of time."

More HubSpot Marketing Hub pros

"Once you get the knowledge to use it, Eloqua is so powerful."

"I've used other marketing automation tools, like Marketo, that require more technical knowledge. Eloqua is straightforward and user-friendly."

"It is a user-friendly product."

"The most valuable feature for us is that it integrates with our CRM content management system."

"It provides good support for really large databases."

"Oracle Eloqua helps us track data and quickly schedule emails; it is a wonderful tool for working with emails."

"The solution is stable."

"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."

More Oracle Eloqua pros

Cons

"The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."

"Some customized reachouts might need additional levers or add-ons, especially when automating at scale for specific buying personas. That's when you might need some additional help, in my opinion."

"The way the staff uses the system sometimes leads to processes not being followed."

"Years ago, these tools used to allow you to see the exact location of people that were clicking on things. I guess they quit doing it for privacy reasons, but that was very helpful information and I miss seeing it in those reports. I thought that this tool could do it when we left Act-On to go to HubSpot, but when we moved over they stopped doing it."

"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."

"They should increase the ease of actually creating the contacts and the workflows and enhance that aspect."

"HubSpot Marketing Hub’s user interface could be more accessible for a regular user to understand."

"Increase the CRM size for sole proprietors before increasing the fee."

More HubSpot Marketing Hub cons

"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"

"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."

"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."

"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 solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."

"The dashboards or the data which we get from insights reports could be improved."

"There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself."

More Oracle Eloqua cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Regarding pricing and licensing, I haven't directly handled it, but I assume Zoho might be cheaper. However, I would still prefer HubSpot due to its cleaner and more user-friendly interface."

"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."

More HubSpot Marketing Hub pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing costs are yearly."

"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."

"It's quite expensive."

"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."

"The solution is expensive."

"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."

"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
