Integrated marketing platform has streamlined our campaigns and maximized inbound lead generation
I think it is important that HubSpot Marketing Hub's approach seems to be that they have integrated a lot within that single tech stack; it does not require me to buy third-party applications to supplement our needs. This is particularly crucial for small to mid-sized companies as we want to focus efforts on demand generation and fulfillment. While Salesforce has added more modules, they require third-party solutions for website offerings. The main use case is consolidating the tech stack for marketing and sales, making it easy to use and allowing us to invest our resources in generating demand. I believe that one of the best features HubSpot Marketing Hub offers is its seamless integration with other workflows, and the fact that I do not usually have to pay additional for a bunch of modules. While there are extra costs for components like sales, it is not as financially burdensome as with other offerings. The integration of modules is straightforward, allowing for ease of use right out of the box. The seamless integration and consolidated platform have changed how we work by allowing us to focus on true marketing functions where we bring expertise in awareness and demand generation. If I had to spend time, money, and resources on a tech stack that is not integrated, it detracts from personnel time and the marketing investment we can make. HubSpot Marketing Hub enables us to spend more time on our jobs rather than becoming experts on using the platform, which ultimately helps grow the business. 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. With our resources, we create customized campaigns for specific target markets, resulting in better traction than if we were more general. This customization allows us to resonate better with our buyers, yielding a higher return on investment due to increased response and engagement rates.

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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Ease of editing and creating templates after initial development with the Design Manager."
"Customer Service: Pretty good and very responsive support. Technical Support: Very good"
"HubSpot offers native integrations with over three hundred third-party tools, which is a significant advantage."
"Marketing Hub does an incredible job of tracking and updating client records."
"We can choose the necessary stages as per the lead, and update it accordingly, then proceed it further."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub should definitely be on your shortlist."
"Since using HubSpot, we’ve at least doubled our leads generated."
"Marketing Hub does an incredible job of tracking and updating client records. The reporting has been enhanced, so you can do just about any type of reporting with it and export to Excel if necessary. They just came out with a considerable upgrade a few months ago, which really helped on the reporting side."
"Once you get the knowledge to use it, Eloqua is so powerful."
"The most valuable feature for us is that it integrates with our CRM content management system."
"​Lead scoring is very useful for both measuring the effectiveness of campaigns as well as deciding which leads to send sales’ way."
"Lead scoring has helped with the process of qualifying leads."
"Oracle Eloqua is easier to use compared to Salesforce Marketing Cloud because Salesforce requires their own scripting called AMPScript, while in Oracle Eloqua, you only need CSS, HTML, and occasionally JavaScript."
"It provides good support for really large databases."
"The solution is good for B2B email marketing."
"In Oracle Eloqua, the most valuable feature from the marketer's user experience perspective is the design editor, which is very feasible, allowing a marketer to design emails and landing pages in a very short amount of time through drag and drop of email components, making them ready to use instantly."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their report and the ability to customize them, especially as some of the more fancy reports they have are not available."
"There are specific functions that we require that don't exist yet. The landing page building feature leaves much to be desired; we abandoned it and integrated with Unbounce."
"From a reporting perspective, I wish HubSpot Marketing Hub had more ad hoc reporting ability, as there is a lot of reporting that you can do, but it does not feel as though you can just do some ad hoc reports and pull some things together."
"The solution can scale with no problem; it's just very expensive. One of the drawbacks to HubSpot is that it is a very pricey tool."
"The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns."
"Years ago, these tools used to allow you to see the exact location of people that were clicking on things. I guess they quit doing it for privacy reasons, but that was very helpful information and I miss seeing it in those reports. I thought that this tool could do it when we left Act-On to go to HubSpot, but when we moved over they stopped doing it."
"In terms of analytics and SEO, HubSpot offers a subpar solution."
"The user interface could be made less complicated to enhance the end-user experience. It will create a difference."
"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."
"The solution does not have a good database architecture."
"Crashes can occur due to integration with different systems, including third-party tools such as Zapier and SixSense."
"One improvement I would suggest for Oracle Eloqua is establishing data modeling capabilities where you can link various custom data objects to create multiple tables together, allowing access to data through SQL queries for better manipulation."
"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."
"The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface."
"There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues"
"The reporting features should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"At present, the pricing seems reasonable, but with our plans to scale, I anticipate that it could become a bit steep."
"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."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"Have sufficient content before signing up for the 30-day trial."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"The platform itself will typically cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's quite expensive."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
