Guild Member at Invictus Growth Partners
We set up every email so that 20% goes out with version A, 20% goes out with version B, and then it will on its own decide the winner and send the remaining 60% to whichever one is the winner.
Head of Growth at VinciWorks
From my personal experience, just having one or two people working on HubSpot Marketing Hub compared to other organizations I've been in that have multiple people definitely provides ROI.
Head of Marketing at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Iterable was really helpful and a lot of time has been saved when working through it because there are so many customers we have to do communication with on a regular basis.
Product Operations at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Our efficiency increased from around 20% to approximately 70%, which translates to a 40 to 50% increment since implementing Iterable.

Sentiment score
8.5
Iterable's customer service is usually praised but can be slow on complex or high-priority issues, even at premium levels.
There's also a really great academy that I use often, both for my own education and as kind of a starting point for any new employees that I hire to make sure that they're up to speed.
Head of Growth at VinciWorks
We’ve had a lot of calls with them, and they were very supportive and responsive.

Iterable's customer support is highly responsive, knowledgeable, and provides clear actionable guidance for time-sensitive campaigns and technical issues.
Technical Writer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The customer support is relatively very proactive, responsive, and committed.

Room For Improvement

HubSpot users desire enhanced customization, simpler interfaces, improved pricing, robust analytics, AI integration, and better support for targeting and reporting.
Iterable excels in analytics and scalability but needs improvements in segmentation, CRM integrations, and template offerings for lifecycle journeys.
There is a discrepancy between how emails look in the HubSpot Marketing Hub preview inbox and how they appear when a test email is sent.
Head of Marketing at a tech company with 51-200 employees
It would be better if it had a better way of creating user profiles where I can easily see who has data access to what and why.
Head of Growth at VinciWorks
Some main differences in my experience between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Salesforce are that Salesforce is a bit un-user-friendly.
Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Segmentation rules could be significantly better, as from my experience with ten or more marketing automation tools, Iterable has limited options to create segments, which should be addressed immediately.
Senior Manager, Marketing Operations at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees
In general, the tool should be improved from a technical point of view; they should enhance speed and accuracy.
Director at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
A steep learning curve for advanced use cases; basic campaigns are easy to launch, but advanced and personalized campaigns or event-based logic take considerable time.
Technical Writer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

HubSpot Marketing Hub offers valuable enterprise solutions with flexible pricing and comprehensive features, often more affordable than alternatives.
Iterable offers cost-effective pricing, appealing to marketing teams with its affordable, easy setup compared to other solutions.
It's on the expensive side of things, but the value you get out of that is great.
Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
I believe pricing has to be negotiated, and it is important to manage contacts carefully since extra charges can occur with exceeding certain limits.
Guild Member at Invictus Growth Partners
The price is very cost-effective compared to my previous tool.
Digital Marketing Specialist at Bloomberg
We received a good discount, and the metering and billing experience has been clear and manageable.
Digital Marketing Manager at Nestle

The platform allows straightforward segmentation of lists based on criteria like job title and interests, making email targeting precise and effective.

Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
The workflow that we were using and creating for each client has a big impact on our clients and my company, because most of the time it reduces our work, our work stress, and we do not have to worry much for client communication because Iterable is already doing it for us.

Featured Reviews

Xx Ee - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Content Marketing Strategist at a outsourcing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Has supported marketing and sales alignment while leaving room for better customization options
I have recommendations for making it easier to customize. I used to work in a tech company, so it's very easy to do that in-house, and our team did that. It's not easy to customize for a regular user though. In the world of generative AI where it's easy for you to connect different tools, APIs, etc., HubSpot Marketing Hub still requires some customization. For example, if you want to make sure it's connected with a custom CRM or some other CRM, there is some fair bit of modification that's required. Some main differences in my experience between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Salesforce are that Salesforce is a bit un-user-friendly. I have to be fair, I haven't used Salesforce too much, but I think HubSpot Marketing Hub is much more user-friendly.

Marketing team has automated personalized lifecycle emails and now creates more engaging campaigns
The best features Iterable offers are automation and simplicity in use. Iterable is dynamic and allows us to engage customers at all stages of the customer journey. Iterable has allowed our customer communication to be automated. With thousands of customers, the ability to automate email communication has saved our team incredible amounts of time. While Iterable is used largely by our marketing team, we do have individuals who are less tech-savvy with limited coding experience, yet confident in navigating the platform. Iterable is very user-friendly and has maintained its simplicity. Iterable has saved our team an incredible amount of time and manual labor through automation of emailing. With the creative and engaging content created in Iterable, customers are more likely to engage than previously, hence increasing customer engagement. We have saved between sixty to seventy percent of our time through automation. Iterable has allowed us to automate email campaigns to customers by planning a series of emails six months prior to their delivery.
