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.

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 feature is their marketing automation service and sales lead management."

"The feature that is beneficial from HubSpot CRM is business intelligence."

"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."

"Hubspot CRM also lets you make calls and send emails directly."

"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."

"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."

"It has nice features and matches our pipeline. Even in the free version, all of the features are available."

"The best thing about HubSpot is its clear workflow. Anyone can understand the flows of your contacts, your emails, their delivery dates, and the reasons behind their movements."

More HubSpot CRM pros

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

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

"The solution is very easy to use."

"The product's deployment phase was easy."

"The case management feature is really valuable."

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

"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."

"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."

Cons

"The pricing could improve."

"I cannot upload a long recorded Zoom conversation to HubSpot."

"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."

"All the features of HubSpot CRM are not buddled together, you need to purchase different modules to have a complete solution."

"They need better UX or templates to change the mood or the look and feel."

"HubSpot CRM should include better scanning of business cards and getting content in."

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

"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."

More HubSpot CRM cons

"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"

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

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

"The UI should be improved."

"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."

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

More Pega CRM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is based on the number of users."

"The price of HubSpot CRM is expensive."

"I do not recall the particulars of the licensing fees."

"There is a cost for the solution. However, I am not aware of the price."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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 use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."

More HubSpot CRM pricing and cost advice

"We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."

"It is expensive."

"The pricing is on the higher side."
