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

Pros

"It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."
"Their blog platform and form capabilities are very easy to use and integrate within our web site."
"The most valuable aspect for us is email marketing because it provides us with a powerful tool and allows us to create email workflows for follow-ups, which is crucial for building relationships with potential customers."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub has kept me updated with alerts."
"HubSpot is a very helpful solution."
"Oracle Eloqua is easier to use compared to Salesforce Marketing Cloud because Salesforce requires their own scripting called AMPScript, while in Oracle Eloqua, you only need CSS, HTML, and occasionally JavaScript."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it integrates with our CRM content management system."
"The solution is good for B2B email marketing."
"We have seen tremendous year after year growth of revenue tied to marketing because of campaigns, events, and promotions we have run through Eloqua."
"Eloqua is a fantastic tool for managing your communication strategy and your contact strategy."
"Eloqua gets modern marketing, plain and simple."
"In Oracle Eloqua, the most valuable feature from the marketer's user experience perspective is the design editor, which is very feasible, allowing a marketer to design emails and landing pages in a very short amount of time through drag and drop of email components, making them ready to use instantly."
"Eloqua's marketing automation tool has made me not only a better marketer but has given me a new outlook on marketing."
 

Cons

"The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."
"Analytics system could be better."
"There are issues with the consistency of notifications."
"They're not the cheapest."
"HubSpot is mainly for enterprise clients and there is a lot of competition. There are better solutions, such as Eloqua and Marketo. This solution needs to improve the analytics for social media monitoring to a level that it can compete with other solutions available in the market. There are some limitations with the features compared to other solutions."
"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've inserted new modules over time, but they're add-ons and require additional licenses depending on packages."
"The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
"Due to its advanced nature, some traditional marketing users can be put of by the different approaches and requirements"
"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."
"There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues"
"Oracle Eloqua requires maintenance because downtime or crashes can affect form submissions and integrations."
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"Some times new features get rolled out too soon, but the good thing is they constantly adapt to the demands of their customers."
"Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly."
"The reporting features should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"At present, the pricing seems reasonable, but with our plans to scale, I anticipate that it could become a bit steep."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's quite expensive."
