Pros
"I find HubSpot Marketing Hub's user interface very intuitive and easy to navigate, which is something I really appreciate.""If we are having any difficulties, I can easily reach out to support executives and have a resolution. I am not sure if we paid for the technical support.""The most valuable features are the reports, overall usability, and ease of use.""HubSpot Marketing Hub is efficient and offers visibility. It also helps to track leads. I like the tool's Gmail functionality.""As a CRM tool, it looks good.""With 18 companies to manage, manual handling would be impractical. HubSpot's automation facilitates pre-scheduling, greatly enhancing our efficiency.""It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments.""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."

Cons
"An expensive solution.""Increase the CRM size for sole proprietors before increasing the fee.""The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns.""API capabilities (including the performance) are minimal and the email workflow capabilities are too rigid, which results in very complicated workflow management.""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.""Some customized reachouts might need additional levers or add-ons, especially when automating at scale for specific buying personas. That's when you might need some additional help, in my opinion.""In terms of drawbacks, I've found that it lacks in-depth analytics and reporting features.""They should increase the ease of actually creating the contacts and the workflows and enhance that aspect."

More HubSpot Marketing Hub Cons →

"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​""There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself.""Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality.""The solution does not have a good database architecture.""This product hasn't kept up to date on features.""The reporting features should be improved.""The product's initial setup process could be better.""The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."

  • "I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
  • "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."
