It is more difficult with the language in Portuguese, which complicates understanding other functions.

The community of HubSpot Sales Hub and information available in Google is sufficient enough to basically self-help myself.

I would rate their customer service a ten.

Scalability Issues

7.2
HubSpot Sales Hub is scalable but not enterprise-level, receiving mixed approval and requiring payment for additional features.
Sentiment score
7.9
Monday.com scales from startups to enterprises, offering features and automation, though pricing may impact smaller businesses' affordability.
Regarding scalability, I think it's really well-designed; not to some enormous size, but it allowed us to start easily and then expand really.
Process Improvement Consultant at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
Within about four to five months of rolling this out across teams, we got usage rates up to anywhere between 70 to 85% of members within each of the teams that we rolled out using monday.com on a daily basis or a few times a week.
Vice President, Finance and Operations at Fruitist
monday.com is very scalable because we can work with multiple projects at a time from different departments, and it can handle all of that.

Room For Improvement

The overall cost is relatively high compared to some alternatives available in the market.
Head of Digital Engineering, Management Consultant at Stax Inc.
The problem with the email tracking feature is that it recognizes auto-screening in email tools, which means HubSpot Sales Hub thinks an email opened by an end-user is actually an email that is screened, giving me false expectations.
Process Improvement Consultant at a consultancy with 51-200 employees
HubSpot Sales Hub could be improved by being more affordable in other countries.
Account Executive at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The need for a stable connection is critical as there are network issues that slow our processes down.

I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com.

More calculation capability within the columns.

Seamless integration boosts workflow through custom connectivity
The main advantage is its ease of use, and it comes with multiple connectors that can be used to integrate several other systems. The most important feature for us is the ability to plan workflows and integrate other systems manually, even without native connectivity. This is significant because we have connected our internal systems to HubSpot Sales Hub using the API. Another valuable feature is the email tracking module. Once a person is tracked, it adds all the metadata into the platform for later audit or progress tracing of the email. The custom reporting functionality is very helpful. We have been using custom reporting with HubSpot Sales Hub to get periodic reports and see the progress of certain projects. It helps us plan our sales strategy by tracking variables based on project size or site projects. We can link these projects to data and components, which helps us strategically plan based on the reports. The associated lists feature is new, though it has certain limitations when exporting data. HubSpot Sales Hub provides 95% flexibility in terms of allowing us to export, transform data, and bring it back. However, there are some limitations with the associated list feature and the API in terms of flexibility.

Centralized workflows have boosted cross-team collaboration and made complex projects manageable
monday.com can continue to improve their AI capabilities. When comparing monday.com to several alternatives when I was evaluating a project and project management, product road mapping, and workflow management platform for us, I looked at competitors such as Asana, ClickUp, SmartSheet, Airtable, and Notion. In my opinion, competitors such as Airtable and SmartSheet, especially followed by Asana and ClickUp, have worked on their AI and generative AI roadmap to combine database functionality with a very user-friendly interface for knowledge management and project tracking, essentially combining both worlds. Their AI is more sophisticated than what monday.com has released thus far. They provide a cleaner task-focused workflow management platform and I think that monday.com can still improve on this core piece of their technology. I think monday.com could also seek to be more process-oriented and intuitive. Other alternatives such as Asana and SmartSheet offer that approach. There is a steeper learning curve to learn monday.com in my opinion compared to Airtable, Asana, and others because I have also used those tools and platforms at other organizations. There is a bit of a learning curve with new users on monday.com because it is not as streamlined as I have experienced with competitors such as SmartSheet or Airtable. The capability sets are great, however, you may need to be hand-held via a monday.com rep when you get started within your organization or view the library of tutorials that monday.com has available. You can also view them on YouTube and that will help you get started on monday.com.
