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.

Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive

I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."

"The product's deployment phase was easy."

"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."

"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."

"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."

Cons

"HubSpot CRM could improve by reducing the price."

"The initial setup could be faster as it currently takes a lot of time."

"It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."

"A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features."

"I believe that the navigation for sales representatives is not very good, and the tool needs improvement since it has become a mess with too much information to manage."

"There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts."

"HubSpot CRM integration needs improvement."

"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."

More HubSpot CRM cons

"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."

"The UI should be improved."

"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."

"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."

"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."

"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"

"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."

"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."

"HubSpot CRM is affordable."

"Pricing is based on the number of users."

"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
