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.
Madhan Krishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Functional Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Integration with CRM and third-party systems significantly boosts campaign management
The native integration could be improved, as Oracle Eloqua has decommissioned it. Manual uploads require changing the data priority order to top priority. Sometimes form capturing data fails, and campaign response issues occur. The pricing of Oracle Eloqua is quite high as it is an Oracle product. Compared to other marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Pardot, the price point is higher. The technical support is rated at eight because it can be difficult to get in touch with them after working hours. Support is only available during business hours, so if assistance is needed outside of the nine-to-five window, users must wait until the next day.

Quotes from Members

"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"Since using HubSpot, we’ve at least doubled our leads generated."
"I'd offer my strong endorsement."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to execute more targeted campaigns, as the effort to launch these campaigns is minimal."
"Ease of editing and creating templates after initial development with the Design Manager."
"Eloqua is very powerful and very customizable."

"I find Oracle Eloqua to be a highly useful tool for clients and easy for developers, which I believe makes it one of the best options available for B2B marketing."
"The ease of maintenance is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution is not recommended for launching investment."
"The upcoming tasks feature could be better. With HubSpot, whenever I put the contact information into Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook, it automatically inputs it into HubSpot. For example, it keeps telling me to contact my Solaris representative as an upcoming task. I've tried changing the contact in it to "not a lead," but it keeps sending me that notification."
"The user interface could be made less complicated to enhance the end-user experience. It will create a difference."
"The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."
"The upcoming tasks feature could be better."
"I think the customer support has been fine; I have never had a negative experience nor an extraordinarily positive one, but it has been satisfactory as we have not needed it much."
"HubSpot is mainly for enterprise clients and there is a lot of competition. There are better solutions, such as Eloqua and Marketo. This solution needs to improve the analytics for social media monitoring to a level that it can compete with other solutions available in the market. There are some limitations with the features compared to other solutions."
"The tool could concentrate on improving the analytics and the overall user experience with AI."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Not suited for small companies."
"Oracle Eloqua requires maintenance because downtime or crashes can affect form submissions and integrations."
"The dashboards or the data which we get from insights reports could be improved."
"Costs a bit more than some of the other providers and there's a bit of a learning curve compared to less powerful Marketing Automation Platforms (MAPs) Some advances features like Eloqua for Sales are at an additional cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HubSpot Marketing Hub is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub's pricing is reasonable. It is about 800-900 dollars a month. It may be pricey for smaller clients, but for the bigger ones, it's only a small part of their monthly revenue."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"The licensing costs are around $4,800 per month. Initially, there's an onboarding fee of around $10,000 or $5,000, but after that, it's just the licensing fee."
"I'd rate the solution's pricing in the middle range. I want more regular communication from our customer service manager to help us improve our use of HubSpot Marketing Hub."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"We are on an annual license for this solution. There have many different versions to meet the needs of their customers, such as professional enterprise and basic versions. They charge for the particular feature or components which are available in the license you have."
"It's quite expensive."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"The solution is expensive."
