Automation capabilities for creating workflows have streamlined processes
I am using HubSpot for the entire organization right now. In my current role, I'm using HubSpot for marketing, sales, and content The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable. All the automation features, where I can completely…

Useful to access data anytime and helpful in generating reports quickly
Speaking about the product's ability to improve sales processes, I would say that even though the tool offers project management capabilities along with ERP functionalities, my company doesn't use it for project management or HR-related areas. My company majorly uses the tool for finance, logistics, and inventory control. I haven't had the need for my company to not integrate the tool with other products. Though my company uses the product separately, we can export Sage CRM into Excel, after which the data can be integrated with other software products. Though the tool can be integrated with other products, my company doesn't do it because Sage CRM is enough for us. The analytical reporting part of the business product is good. The analytical reporting part of the product is used for financial years, along with the profit and loss reports and inventory reports. For the sales part in our company, we use the analytical reports generated by the product to help the sales people in a region-wise, sales-wise and product-wise manner. In my company, one of the teams will be changing from Sage CRM to Microsoft Dynamics. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it, especially since it is a tool suitable for medium-sized companies and not for enterprise-sized businesses. Medium-sized companies can use the product since it is an economical and reliable tool. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
