We use HubSpot CRM mostly for marketing and ensuring that we have our client database in there. We also use the solution for scheduling meetings and interacting with our clients.
Program Manager at Tereta
Tracks interactions and pipelines, schedules emails, and consolidates client information, but needs the functionality of remembering passwords, so you won't have to input passwords every time
Pros and Cons
- "What I like most about HubSpot CRM is the ability to track how an interaction goes along the pipeline. I also like that you can use HubSpot CRM to schedule when you want a particular email to go out. Another valuable feature of the solution is having all your client information in a consolidated database."
- "As HubSpot CRM is a good platform and is easy to navigate, I would recommend it to anybody looking for a CRM solution who wants to have customers in a consolidated database."
- "Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."

Partner Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Easy, and ready to use, but it has too many options to manage
Pros and Cons
- "The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list."
- "It can fit into any customer ecosystem, starting with the most basic requirements and progressing to the most complex."
- "I would prefer it to be easier to manage, or a bit simpler, with fewer options. It's nice to have so many options, but for some clients, having so many options may not be necessary, they can just customize accordingly."

What is our primary use case?
I am a reseller. I provide solutions to our customers.
We use HubSpot for CRM, to contact clients, to send emails, from deal initiation or lead generation to closes, and we keep track of the deals or the context there. It also serves as a repository for all of the context of our organization.
What is most valuable?
It is quite good. The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list. If I need to send mail directly from HubSpot, I can do so; I can also call directly from our store. All of those features are built-in.
It is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
I don't see anything that I don't like.
At times there are too many things. Based on different people's profiles. When you put too many things in a solution, it can become very clumsy. When there are too many things, too many updates, and too many notes for a single deal, case, or customer, it becomes difficult to manage everything at the same time.

Enterprise Solutions Architect at OORWIN LABS INC
Easy to implement, simple for lead distribution, and helps track sales pipelines
Pros and Cons
- "We get a good overview of where everything is in the pipeline."
- "It's very useful for tracking both leads and salespeople."
- "There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts."
- "There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts. They are not restricting duplicates."
What is our primary use case?
Through HubSpot, we are getting a lot of leads from different sources where we can post HubSpot forms. Once any customer fills that form, we will get a lead request.
From the lead, we are going to segregate. We are going to distribute those leads to our internal team, like a round-robin, by using workflows. This is the way we are going to assign leads.
Basically, we will get opportunities. From that, our opportunities, our people are going to convert that opportunity to leads where we can manage end-to-end communication between customers and our people.
By logging in, I am able to see what things are going on. For example, how many leads are in the pipeline, how many opportunities are converted into leads, how many are in trial mode, how many are in payer mode, et cetera. All these things we can track through HubSpot. At the same time, we are going to track the salesperson's activity also through HubSpot.
What is most valuable?
It's very useful for tracking both leads and salespeople. We get a good overview of where everything is in the pipeline.
We are maintaining our constant contact with the product in terms of the client and vendor contact information. At the same time, we are getting good analytics from HubSpot.
It's stable and scalable too. We were able to have API integrations with our portal. We can have access to HubSpot information.
We found the initial implementation process to be simple.
What needs improvement?
There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts. They are not restricting duplicates. When we want to remove them, we need to remove them manually one by one by maxing one and adding another duplicate. There is no option to remove bulk duplicate records in HubSpot. To do this, I have taken on Dedupely. This is a HubSpot marketplace application where I pay this amount to remove bulk records. By using that third-party marketplace API, I remove unwanted or Constant Contacts from my HubSpot, however, I shouldn't need an app to do it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for the last five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability is good. We are running HubSpot to manage the leads and everything and have never run into any restrictions.
Currently, we have 13 users. We do have plans to increase usage, however, at present, we are good with the services we currently have.
How are customer service and support?
We've contacted technical support in the past, mostly for duplication removal. I talked to the tech support, however, there is no other option when it comes to duplication issues. In apps from the marketplace, I can find a plugin that might help with my issues.
How was the initial setup?
The installation process is very simple and straightforward. It's a user-friendly product that makes the implementation easy.
What about the implementation team?
I was able to handle the implementation myself. I did not need the assistance of any outside integrators or consultants.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We have an enterprise license. We pay a yearly subscription fee. There is a limitation on our contract and if we exceed it we need to pay a bit more.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend the solution to others.
I'd rate the product a nine out of ten. If it offered duplicate removal, I'd likely rate it higher.

I would recommend this solution to others.

Our clients have employees who work remotely, and employees who work from the main office, which can be difficult, but HubSpot CRM makes it easier and is very useful in that type of situation.
It's also a solution that can be used for marketing purposes.

If the customer needs a CRM solution for a large project, or if the customer is from a large company or organization, we can provide Microsoft Dynamics instead.
How was the initial setup?
HubSpot CRM has a straightforward setup.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
HubSpot CRM has a free version, and small companies, e.g. our clients with only 10 to 15 employees, like to use solutions which are free.
We're on a yearly subscription with HubSpot CRM. This is the standard for any project in my country. The paid version of HubSpot CRM needs to be priced better.

We have 1000 users of HubSpot CRM in our company. Its deployment and maintenance is handled by 10 technical specialists. We have administrators for it, but no developers, as it is a web solution.

I'm rating HubSpot CRM an eight out of ten, especially because it's used by businesses.
