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.

"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."
"We can track clients through the system, which is a great feature. It supports cross-functional teams."
"The native integration with Outlook is something that I find really useful in HubSpot CRM."
"The features are superior, as few others can reach that level."
"The interface is good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"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."
"They are trying to make it better by adding agent.ai to HubSpot, however, it's in a very early stage."
"They are trying to make it better by adding agent.ai to HubSpot, however, it's in a very early stage."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"All the features of HubSpot CRM are not buddled together, you need to purchase different modules to have a complete solution."
"Invoices were the thing we were thinking should be part of the solution, and that's been added now."
"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."
"There is no option to remove duplicate constant contacts."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's in the upper range. If 10 represents the most expensive, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. Its price also depends on the size of your team."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"We use a paid version of Hubspot and we have an annual license."
"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
