A user-friendly CRM platform with a valuable automation feature
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is probably automating the system. I can send mass emails to pretty much all my contacts or certain ones that meet the demographic requirements. I've used this one and one other CRM with an auto sales company. From my experience, just the ease of use and the user interface on HubSpot is phenomenal. It's really simple and easy to navigate the program. The functionality is phenomenal, and not just the Microsoft Office part but also with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It's pretty nice."
  • "From my experience, just the ease of use and the user interface on HubSpot is phenomenal."
  • "The upcoming tasks feature could be better. With HubSpot, whenever I put the contact information into Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook, it automatically inputs it into HubSpot. For example, it keeps telling me to contact my Solaris representative as an upcoming task. I've tried changing the contact in it to "not a lead," but it keeps sending me that notification."
  • "The upcoming tasks feature could be better."

What is our primary use case?

I use it to monitor leads and engage in sales automation processes. We use it to identify certain leads or potential clients, and we use it to maintain contact with them, post-sale.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is probably automating the system. I can send mass emails to pretty much all my contacts or certain ones that meet the demographic requirements. I've used this one and one other CRM with an auto sales company.

What needs improvement?

The upcoming tasks feature could be better. With HubSpot, whenever I put the contact information into Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook, it automatically inputs it into HubSpot. For example, it keeps telling me to contact my Solaris representative as an upcoming task. I've tried changing the contact in it to "not a lead," but it keeps sending me that notification.

A good solution for email tracking
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails."
  • "The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails, allowing me to know when a person has opened them and if they have been disseminated."
  • "The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
  • "The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."

What is most valuable?

The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails. It allows me to know when a person has opened them and if they have been disseminated. 

What needs improvement?

The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent. It may, in fact, be the organization itself that has automatically opened the email and not its recipient. As such, this capability is not a reliable metric. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been dealing with HubSpot Marketing Hub for around six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I consider the solution to be stable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not had any dealings with technical support. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

As I employ a corporate license, I cannot say for certain how much it would cost on an individual basis. I believe it amounts to $50 per month.

What other advice do I have?

I rate HubSpot Marketing Hub as an eight out of ten.

Easy to use, good reporting, and it supports sending email from the interface
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features are the reports, overall usability, and ease of use."
  • "The most valuable features are the reports, overall usability, and ease of use."
  • "The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."
  • "The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."

What is our primary use case?

I use HubSpot for lead management, funnel management, and marketing.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the reports, overall usability, and ease of use.

Being able to send emails from within it, and the email campaigns are good features.

It is very flexible.

What needs improvement?

When using this product, improvements often have to be made at the corporate level, such as improving their overall best practices. The reason for this is the flexibility that the solution provides. For example, when different people are talking about a certain sales stage, there should be certain qualifications. One person might refer to a deal at the commit stage, whereas another one considers it to be at the qualification stage.

Although the interface is good, it is not very intuitive. I usually have to go to the admin to look for help with certain functions. The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this. However, it may just be me getting up to speed with it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using HubSpot Marketing Hub since I joined this company, several months ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability-wise, this is a good product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As far as I know, the scalability is good. We have perhaps 30 users in the company.

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not been in touch with technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Salesforce for close to 20 years, and it's fairly similar, but there are some little idiosyncrasies that differentiate them.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for anybody who is implementing HubSpot is to have corporate best practices defined, or at least evolving in parallel with the implementation and bringing on new users. You want to make sure that everyone is using it the same way.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good form capabilities and integrates well, but the API capabilities are minimal
Pros and Cons
  • "Their blog platform and form capabilities are very easy to use and integrate within our web site."
  • "HubSpot has been very useful for a startup when we didn't have marketing ops expertise."
  • "API capabilities (including the performance) are minimal and the email workflow capabilities are too rigid, which results in very complicated workflow management."
  • "API capabilities (including the performance) are minimal and the email workflow capabilities are too rigid, which results in very complicated workflow management."

What is our primary use case?

We use this solution as a central marketing automation tool, integrated with SFDC CRM. We are also using HubSpot CMS but will be moving off of this soon.

How has it helped my organization?

HubSpot has been very useful for a startup when we didn't have marketing ops expertise. It provides basic email automation tools, leads capture/scoring, and integrates with SFDC.  

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

API capabilities (including the performance) are minimal and the email workflow capabilities are too rigid, which results in very complicated workflow management.

For how long have I used the solution?

One and a half years.

Ease of editing and creating templates after initial development with the Design Manager
Pros and Cons
  • "Customer support is helpful and responsive."
  • "Ease of editing and creating templates after initial development with the Design Manager."
  • "Overall speed and ease of use, plus the sandbox environment that allows for real-time examples to test and share with clients, lets us shine with a deep understanding of the platform."
  • "It can be disorienting when they put out a new release/beta test without informing us. It can be a bit disorienting to have to figure out how to access and adjust things in a new layout unexpectedly."
  • "A downside to this is that sometimes it can be disorienting when they put out a new release/beta test without informing us."

What is our primary use case?

  • Helping to create client websites
  • Adding content
  • Minor template tweaks
  • Custom website and landing pages
  • Blogs
  • Templates
  • Widgets
  • Workflows
  • Email

How has it helped my organization?

  • Overall speed and ease of use.
  • Sandbox environment allows for real-time examples to test and share with clients on the environment. 
  • It allows us to shine with a deep understanding of the platform.

What is most valuable?

  • Sandbox environment: Provides a great way to test new templates and create content in the environment, then share it with the client for real-time evaluation.
  • Great file manager: Easy to work with, edit images, and organize files. 
  • Design Manager: Ease of editing and creating templates after initial development.
  • HubDB: Great for modules, tables, resources and beautiful dynamic pages

What needs improvement?

HubSpot is constantly working to improve and innovate. A downside to this is that sometimes it can be disorienting when they put out a new release/beta test without informing us. It can be a bit disorienting to have to figure out how to access and adjust things in a new layout unexpectedly. 

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

How is customer service and technical support?

Customer support is helpful and responsive.

It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments
Pros and Cons
  • "We can choose the necessary stages as per the lead, and update it accordingly, then proceed it further."
  • "It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."
  • "It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."
  • "They should integrate a bot, as it would be easier to get the status to the management team without logging into the CRM to get all the required details."
  • "They should integrate a bot, as it would be easier to get the status to the management team without logging into the CRM to get all the required details."

What is our primary use case?

Sales enablement, where it has been hard to manage leads and forgetting following up with clients, as we manage multiple geographies and managing data in a worksheet can be hard. 

How has it helped my organization?

It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments. The best thing is the ease to customize per our needs. 

What is most valuable?

  • Deals and closing
  • Task reminders
  • Call logs

We can choose the necessary stages as per the lead, and update it accordingly, then proceed it further.

What needs improvement?

They should integrate a bot, as it would be easier to get the status to the management team without logging into the CRM to get all the required details. I would recommend trying to use ElliQ, which is an excellent smart bot that can be used for automation.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

Collected all of our digital content and allowed us to repurpose and share with other relevant content over time.
Pros and Cons
  • "Collected all of our digital content and allowed us to repurpose and share with other relevant content over time."
  • "I am not in a position to afford the CRM at this point."

What is our primary use case?

I use HubSpot to aggregate all of my content, create calls to action and landing pages, to generate leads for my consulting practice. As a research analyst and marketing strategist, I use HubSpot to disseminate my content across my social media channels and to keep me up to date on comments so I can respond in a timely manner.

How has it helped my organization?

Collected all of our digital content and allowed us to repurpose and share with other relevant content over time. Able to put together lead nurturing programs based on personas to move MQLs to SQLs and trials to customers.

I am able to continue to share information of value with several different personas depending on the content I am sharing.

What is most valuable?

Content management and dissemination since we are always creating more content. Lead management and nurturing customized for target personas.

What needs improvement?

I am not in a position to afford the CRM at this point. I would like to get to a point where I can justify using it.

For how long have I used the solution?

More than five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have not.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

10+

Technical Support:

10+

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

No, I have not found a solution that meets my needs better than HubSpot.

How was the initial setup?

Very straightforward and CSRs were very helpful any time I have a question.

What about the implementation team?

I implemented the solution myself.

What was our ROI?

Undetermined at this point.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Take the 30-day free trial with HubSpot and any other vendor. Some marketing automation solutions are better for lead scoring and lead management, but I have not found a better solution for someone using content marketing as their primary lead generation strategy.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Eloqua, Marketo, Act-On, Silverpop, Adobe, Pardot

What other advice do I have?

Easy to use. Great customer support.
