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

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

Pros

"The contacts and the connection to sales as well as contact enrichment have been the most valuable aspects of the product."
"Absolutely, hands-down the best platform of its kind that we've experienced."
"The biggest reason why I like this solution is the fact that it has so much functionality. It's all contained in one product, so you don't have to use multiple products."
"HubSpot offers native integrations with over three hundred third-party tools, which is a significant advantage."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."
"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."
"We are now able to manage and measure content (blogs, CTAs, and landing pages)."
"The most valuable feature is probably automating the system. I can send mass emails to pretty much all my contacts or certain ones that meet the demographic requirements. I've used this one and one other CRM with an auto sales company. From my experience, just the ease of use and the user interface on HubSpot is phenomenal. It's really simple and easy to navigate the program. The functionality is phenomenal, and not just the Microsoft Office part but also with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It's pretty nice."
"​Lead scoring is very useful for both measuring the effectiveness of campaigns as well as deciding which leads to send sales’ way."
"We needed a solution that could scale with our business - and it doesn't get better than Eloqua."
"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."
"E10 is a slick easy to use tool that is also robust for those automation experts."
"The solution is good for B2B email marketing."
"Eloqua gets modern marketing, plain and simple."
"Eloqua has a drag-and-drop interface based on HTML5 and is the easiest WYSIWYG editor for creating landing pages and HTML emails that I've ever seen."
"I've used other marketing automation tools, like Marketo, that require more technical knowledge. Eloqua is straightforward and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The user interface could be made less complicated to enhance the end-user experience. It will create a difference."
"They're not the cheapest."
"It would be ideal if there was a way to forward a notification or create notifications for non-HubSpot users."
"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."
"I've had some issues with granting access to third-parties to our data in a way that's still GDPR compliant. 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."
"While HubSpot Marketing Hub has shown increased functionality, there is still room for improvement, particularly in workflows."
"The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
"They should increase the ease of actually creating the contacts and the workflows and enhance that aspect."
"Setup has been over four months now and it has been painful."
"There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
"The UI of the reporting tool (Insight) is a bit dated."
"To get the most out of your investment you'll want to have a dedicated admin or team if you are able."
"I would love to see the social suite capabilities enhanced."
"Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI."
"Some times new features get rolled out too soon, but the good thing is they constantly adapt to the demands of their customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Regarding pricing and licensing, I haven't directly handled it, but I assume Zoho might be cheaper. However, I would still prefer HubSpot due to its cleaner and more user-friendly interface."
"The platform itself will typically cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year."
"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."
"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."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"The solution is expensive."
"It's quite expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
