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.

There's definitely room for process improvement in SAP Service Cloud. In my opinion, what can be better in SAP Service Cloud includes having the data center existence properly implemented. Not all cloud solutions are present in data centers. While we evaluate the product, we have to check the existence of the product in all nearest data centers. For example, while I check the data center through the Trust Center on SAP's website, I found that most cloud solutions are installed in Riyadh, but they are missing some very important tools such as LeanIX, which is not existent in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce solutions are also missing, and some aspects of C4C, such as Customer Data Cloud, are not present in many data centers. Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa. They evaluate demand before installation, but having all solutions in the center point could encourage sales cycles.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The native integration with Outlook is something that I find really useful in HubSpot CRM."
"We can track clients through the system, which is a great feature. It supports cross-functional teams."
"HubSpot CRM's most valuable features are that it is straightforward and it gives us most of the things that we need and it is easy to onboard with it."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"The feature that is beneficial from HubSpot CRM is business intelligence."
"Easy to use and easy to setup CRM software, with good stability and scalability."
"It's highly reliable, and the flexibility it offers is noteworthy."
"The ease of having everything in one place is valuable."
"The embedded AI inside SAP, called Business AI, impacts decision-making and resolution times significantly, working as a smart conversational chat in Joule to create dashboards and compare historical data with sales forecasts."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the usability is not intuitive. There is a lot of work required to set it up the way I like."
"All the features of HubSpot CRM are not buddled together, you need to purchase different modules to have a complete solution."
"An area to be improved in HubSpot CRM is its customization capabilities."
"The initial setup could be faster as it currently takes a lot of time."
"HubSpot CRM integrations could be improved."
"We had a problem with the tool’s stability once."
"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."
"A better CRM can be achieved by providing more customization features."
"Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"If one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing as a five. HubSpot CRM is much more expensive than Salesforce. My company probably pays around 40 USD per user monthly."
"There is a cost for the solution. However, I am not aware of the price."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"There are a few licensing payment models, such as annual or monthly. The solution is modular, which means that if you need a specific capability or function within the organization, you can purchase it specifically and you don't have to purchase something that is only utilized by 20 percent of the organization."
"I do not recall the particulars of the licensing fees."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
