Featured Reviews

Sadiq H - PeerSpot reviewer
Campaign Specialist at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automation and integrated analytics have transformed how my team manages campaigns and deals
There are a couple of things which I would improve in HubSpot CRM. There are limitations with user limitations. I would want a feature where certain users do not need to export data and I want to be notified if anyone is exporting. That feature exists for a certain number of users, but it should also apply to lower-level users who should be notified as well. Second, the analysis and insights need to be provided on a weekly basis. For example, I would want to see that in this week we sent an email to a certain number of prospects, information about which was my highest open rate email campaign and which was my lowest engagement campaign, and insights from HubSpot AI that can be utilized. I would want to know which subject lines we gathered that received more attention as a form of data analytics information. Additionally, if I have one hundred contacts today and a couple of them are not active, for example, if eighty contacts are active and twenty contacts have never opened my email, I would want to trash them because they are not engaging. That kind of information would be very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like how you can track one account from marketing to closing the deal. For example, suppose you generated a lead through marketing, you can then track it through to when the deal is closed."
"Very scalable CRM platform with multiple functions, e.g. marketing, ticketing, and service."
"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."
"It has nice features and matches our pipeline. Even in the free version, all of the features are available."
"We get a good overview of where everything is in the pipeline."
"The most valuable feature is their marketing automation service and sales lead management."
"The most valuable feature of HubSpot CRM is the sequences of sales automation. It allows you to set up a bunch of leads into a sequence, and it automatically generates emails that you can customize on the fly. For example, here's the phone call in the morning, the phone call in the afternoon, the email you sent, and the link to the message you sent."
"The product is user-friendly for sales personnel and other salespeople."
"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
 

Cons

"Invoices were the thing we were thinking should be part of the solution, and that's been added now."
"The only thing that was tough was that the functionality was very dependent on the licensing level. So there were many things I wanted to do, but then I'd have to add on different licenses or purchase different add-ons."
"The mobile application for HubSpot CRM could improve. There are a lot of weaknesses and limitations. Salesforce.com's mobile application is much better."
"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."
"HubSpot CRM could improve in integration with other solutions."
"This solution could be improved if it offered more opportunity to customize how it is used, including adding different rules."
"The solution's email capabilities could be improved. While these do exist, there are other platforms which offer much more robust capabilities when it comes to emailing."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. The pricing strategy that they have is way too clever."
"The product has a security flaw."
"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"We use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"There are a few licensing payment models, such as annual or monthly. The solution is modular, which means that if you need a specific capability or function within the organization, you can purchase it specifically and you don't have to purchase something that is only utilized by 20 percent of the organization."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"The pricing is moderate."
"The solution is cost-effective."
