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.

An easy-to-use, simple and stable CRM solution
The solution is used for VMware Environment It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one. It's very easy to use. All servers are in the environment, and we are using the data source. Nimble is very reliable. The configuration is very quick and simple.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I found the interface to be modern and intuitive. It offers excellent documentation and guidance for effectively managing sales pipelines."
"I would say that there are two features that I found valuable. These two features are the solution's clean UI and ease of setup."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tracking of customer interaction and client introduction."
"The solution has improved our workflow by providing a centralized solution. It is a one-stop solution that allows us to analyze the sales pipeline and plan activities for specific customers, giving us insights into our approach to prospects. The key improvements include the ability to cross-sell capabilities and identify conversion influencing factors, which we can use to convert customers."
"You can create the workflows and also the different dashboards that you can create. I find it really convenient to generate a lot of reports plus the different views to present the deals."
"HubSpot Sales Hub provides its users with very user-friendly UX or customization controls."
"I like the tool's flexibility. It allows us to customize our sales cycle approach. However, this flexibility can be challenging, as there are many options to consider."
"Overall, I give HubSpot Sales Hub a rating of ten because it is a strong platform for sales."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
 

Cons

"In my experience, the reporting area of the solution is somewhere the solution lacks a bit."
"HubSpot Sales Hub could be improved by being more affordable in other countries because it is a very potential software, but it is not much accessible for other players in the market."
"There are a lot of areas in HubSpot Sales Hub that can improve. It is lacking some direct automation. There are a lot of challenges that we have during the integration. To solve this problem, we are using other third-party tools. They could improve on direct automation."
"There is a general challenge with CRMs, including HubSpot Sales Hub, where users may not fully understand the system's capabilities. I believe there is a need for better clarification and explanation of what CRMs entail."
"When it comes to the UI part of the product, it looks very novice and definitely not something meant for an enterprise-grade level business."
"One challenge for us is getting our team engaged in HubSpot. Some of them are not familiar with CRMs, so we spend time training them on HubSpot's features."
"The tool should get better at catching leads. Currently, it works better on catching inbound leads. Whenever a person signs up on the website, HubSpot catches the lead and creates an account. However, it is not 100 percent accurate."
"The pricing structure includes a base payment for the sales part, which is somewhat expensive compared to other options."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The product has a security flaw."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"The tool's licensing depends on factors like the number of contacts, users, and additional modules. But generally, it's feasible and accessible. A free license is also available, although it comes with limited features. Even the free license is cool to use."
"The tool's licensing offers value."
"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is priced reasonably. There are other solutions available that are affordable as compared to HubSpot Sales Hub. They are one of the market leaders, the price tag is good at this point."
"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
"I rate the product price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the least expensive."
"The solution is more on the cheaper side, but not the cheapest. I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. There are cheaper options like Zoho that provide many features at a lower price, but they're not as expensive as Salesforce or SAP."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"The pricing is moderate."
