Featured Reviews

Charles Dickens - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration
The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.

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 for me is when I encounter a company or a person, I can drop in their URL, and it pre-populates various details like address information and other contacts they might have."
"The reporting is very flexible."
"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"We can track clients through the system, which is a great feature. It supports cross-functional teams."
"The best feature in HubSpot CRM for us is the custom objects that we integrated. This allows us to include more information on the contact profile, company profile, and other details, making it easier for our staff to have all the necessary information before contacting our customers.Additionally, having all this information in a centralized place is highly beneficial for us."
"The ability to track revenue and complete forecasting has been the most valuable feature."
"The feature that I find valuable is the customer 360-degree view and the marketing automation."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"I would need to try the product again to refresh my knowledge and give a recommendation."
"The only problem with HubSpot at the moment is the pricing models."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"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."
"When the system fails to load data, the error messages are not user-friendly and can be confusing."
"The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it."
"In HubSpot CRM there are many subscription models. Some things are limited compared to the subscription models. For example, I cannot track all the tasks that I have in CRM at once. I need to click on the specific deal to see what the task is. This could improve in the future."
"The response time is slow. It takes time for them to come back with solutions."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"We use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"Pricing is based on the number of users."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
