Charles Dickens - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration
The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.
Luis Teran - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable with very good social media integration and easy to use
The deployment is a bit harder as you sometimes need help. For us, we have experience. It is not so hard, however, we have a dependency on the operative system, such as Microsoft with Windows Server 2019 or 2016. You must get that kind of system. Also, you need to get this updated and you have many dependencies that you have to work with. The deployment is easy, however, when you want to get the IDR or you want to get the integrations as you want them, you need to deal with so many dependencies with other platforms that it can get hard. That's what's hard with the solution. The solution itself is, of course, it's easy for us, for an engineer, however, for untrained people, that is hard. For the deployment, if the contact center is a large contact center, you must get four engineers or five engineers to do the deployment. Most of them will make the integration and the others will configure the IDR. Another will deploy the integration, and that's all. Of course, then, there will be the documentation you need to deal with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of HubSpot CRM are ease of use, lead generation, and follow-up leads. Additionally, there are a lot of connectors to other solutions, such as Jira and Slack. Whether it's a scrum tool or the ticketing tool, it has a connector."
"We can track clients through the system, which is a great feature. It supports cross-functional teams."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its free version, where you can store around 10,00,000 records in HubSpot CRM for free if you have a business email ID."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"The permission system is great, so you can really decide who gets what permissions."
"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."
"It avoids creating duplicate records by updating Salesforce automatically when changes occur in HubSpot CRM."
"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."
"The social media integration is excellent."
"Interactive Intelligence is quite user friendly."
 

Cons

"The mobile application for HubSpot CRM could improve. There are a lot of weaknesses and limitations. Salesforce.com's mobile application is much better."
"Sometimes, the usability is not intuitive. There is a lot of work required to set it up the way I like."
"We found that automated emails were challenging to manage in the tool. While the feature allows you to create dynamic email templates, it was difficult to tweak and fetch data associated with different objects, such as contacts and custom objects."
"Invoices were the thing we were thinking should be part of the solution, and that's been added now."
"All the features of HubSpot CRM are not buddled together, you need to purchase different modules to have a complete solution."
"I would need to try the product again to refresh my knowledge and give a recommendation."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"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."
"The problem with this current system is that the support is not great."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"It's in the upper range. If 10 represents the most expensive, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. Its price also depends on the size of your team."
"There is a cost for the solution. However, I am not aware of the price."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
