Featured Reviews

reviewer2396643 - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder at a marketing services firm with 1-10 employees
Has streamlined customer interaction tracking but the pricing structure needs more flexibility
The biggest constraint with HubSpot CRM is their pricing. Their per-user pricing is on the higher side, and most of their enterprise contracts require a minimum one-year guarantee for any enterprise agreement. Because we are using a free module of HubSpot CRM, we certainly see some value in it. We have been willing to pay HubSpot CRM money in the past. We certainly see an ROI out of that. The constraint is that they require a year-long commitment of minimum number of users. Our number of users is lesser than the commitment that they require. They require minimum five users to be signed into HubSpot CRM. Normally within the organization, there are only two or three people who use it. From that point of view, the seat cost and annual commitment are some of the things where we currently don't see a lot of value in using it.

Targeted push campaigns have increased conversions and are driving more repeat customer purchases
OneSignal has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to reduce our cost of customer acquisition and increase our conversion rate from 40 to 65%. We have also increased our conversion rate to 30%. Additionally, OneSignal has allowed us to grow our number of subscribers organically, driving more website traffic and increasing sales engagement and campaigns from 50% to 65%. Since we are able to send more push notifications to our subscribers on their preferred device, we can reach out to them and they can see what we offer as services, enabling them to subscribe to our platform. This allows us to drive more website traffic, increase sales, enhance sales engagement, and drive more productivity. OneSignal offers the best features, including sending instant notifications without delay, providing all necessary features for testing, being highly cost-effective, handling huge volume efficiently, and providing great customer support.
