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.

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

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Easy to use and easy to setup CRM software, with good stability and scalability."
"The tool is user-friendly."
"HubSpot's customer service is excellent and fast."
"The calling option from any region is beneficial."
"The permission system is great, so you can really decide who gets what permissions."
"HubSpot CRM is one of the best CRMs I have used."
"It has nice features and matches our pipeline. Even in the free version, all of the features are available."
"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."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."
"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."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."
"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

"The solution's user interface can be simpler with features that are easy to navigate."
"It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."
"There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts. They are not restricting duplicates."
"This solution could be easier to use. You really have to be hands on in the beginning as its an in depth solution. It takes some time to learn how it works before you can start using it."
"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 product is not very scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"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."
"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 UI should be improved."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"I do not recall the particulars of the licensing fees."

"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"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."
