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
We do not need to manually update tasks since automations are configured to trigger and update the status automatically when specific conditions are met, thus saving both time and money on configurations.
Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The conversion rates, too, are better; they used to be lower, but they are now up by 30 to 35%.
Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies

We’ve had a lot of calls with them, and they were very supportive and responsive.

Reducing the headache and costs of integration involved when using services provided by the main service provider itself.

Room For Improvement

Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies
Improving the Converse feature, which is currently complex, will impact costing; however, if Converse is implemented, there would be no need to associate with other life or chatbots.

Setup Cost

HubSpot Marketing Hub offers valuable enterprise solutions with flexible pricing and comprehensive features, often more affordable than alternatives.

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
Compared to other top-niche products, they are less, and it is good.
Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The pricing was good; we negotiated, and since we are a small business, he understood our needs and provided good pricing.
Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies
However, the basic problem with LeadSquared is that they tend to project pricing on the higher side and want to compensate by getting clients to take additional services that are required.

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.
Shakti Anand - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager- Admissions at Sector 125
Automation has transformed admissions follow-up and now drives higher lead-to-fee conversions
LeadSquared can be improved on various parameters. The platform should onboard various other vendors, such as a voice bot, which is a crucial requirement in the current market. LeadSquared is currently in the development phase of a voice bot, which is essential for connecting with prospective leads in a short duration. Improving the Converse feature, which is currently complex, will impact costing; however, if Converse is implemented, there would be no need to associate with other life or chatbots. Converse would suffice the requirement for voice and chatbots, and the voice AI could also replace the voice bot currently sought in the market. Regarding reporting, it has become easier with the new UI platform, but the reporting section can still be improved by providing an easier view for the analytics section. The current setup is slightly complex for a normal sales user to access and understand reports pulled from LeadSquared. The analytics section needs improvement, and there are filters that also require work. Triggering the number of leads that have not been connected after multiple dialing attempts requires multiple combinations through advanced filter options to pull out that data, which is complex for sales users. Certain tabs based on customer requirements and customization should become more accessible for the calling team to help them achieve connected call goals.
