Room For Improvement

HubSpot CRM needs improvements in customization, pricing, integration, UI, mobile app, support, automation, scalability, and subscription features.
HubSpot Sales Hub needs enhanced automation, better integration, improved UI, and advanced reporting for efficiency and scalability improvements.
HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality.
President at iCIO, Inc
A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features.
Director at Big Billion Ventures Pvt Ltd
The response time is slow.
Founder | Technology Head at janusmaad.com
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
 

Setup Cost

HubSpot CRM offers mid-range pricing with modular options but is criticized for limited advanced features and perceived high cost.
HubSpot Sales Hub offers scalable pricing starting at $100 monthly, with discounts available for annual subscriptions and a free version.
The sales component is somewhat expensive, making the overall cost higher compared to some other available options.

President at iCIO, Inc
The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation.
Director at Big Billion Ventures Pvt Ltd
The most important feature for us is the ability to plan workflows and integrate other systems manually, even without native connectivity.
Head of Digital Engineering, Management Consultant at Stax Inc.
The divisions for sales and the graphics are very customizable in HubSpot Sales Hub.

Automation capabilities for creating workflows have streamlined processes

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.
