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.

Customizable design tools empower users to develop campaigns effortlessly
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've found that when you get into very granular data analysis or complex segmentation, the current filter-based approach can become cumbersome. The filter wizard can only handle a certain number of conditions at a time, which can force you to build multiple 'shared filters' and combine them. An integrated SQL editor, or a more flexible data query tool, would allow for more efficient and sophisticated data manipulation

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we are having any difficulties, I can easily reach out to support executives and have a resolution. I am not sure if we paid for the technical support."
"If the tool is used efficiently, it definitely provides a return on investment."
"HubSpot offers native integrations with over three hundred third-party tools, which is a significant advantage."
"Since using HubSpot, we’ve at least doubled our leads generated."
"The most valuable feature for us is the lead-nurturing workflows, which give us the ability to create automated workflows that will operate certain flows-of-action automatically on a duration of time I set."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Excellent."
"I find HubSpot Marketing Hub's user interface very intuitive and easy to navigate, which is something I really appreciate."
"The tool is very stable and very reliable."
"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."
"We have seen tremendous year after year growth of revenue tied to marketing because of campaigns, events, and promotions we have run through Eloqua."
"The ease of maintenance is the most valuable feature."
"We needed a solution that could scale with our business - and it doesn't get better than Eloqua."

"It is a necessity in the world of marketing to have a strong marketing automation tool."
"The solution is stable."
"Eloqua10 is a great tool for marketing automation for both B2B and B2C companies."
 

Cons

"They should increase the ease of actually creating the contacts and the workflows and enhance that aspect."
"There are some issues with HubSpot Marketing Hub with receiving notifications. It was too difficult to understand, and it requires a lot of effort. Configuration could be simplified."
"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."
"It can be disorienting when they put out a new release/beta test without informing us. It can be a bit disorienting to have to figure out how to access and adjust things in a new layout unexpectedly."
"HubSpot’s scoring is not good."
"I am not in a position to afford the CRM at this point."
"The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
"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."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features; they haven't adapted to or adopted newer ways of doing business."
"Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI."
"There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues"
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"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 dashboards or the data which we get from insights reports could be improved."
"To get the most out of your investment you'll want to have a dedicated admin or team if you are able."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HubSpot Marketing Hub provided me with the startup package with 90% off, but it's still hundreds of dollars a month instead of thousands of dollars a month. There is an additional cost for training and onboarding which is hundreds of dollars. It is expensive and should be reduced."
"Have sufficient content before signing up for the 30-day trial."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is cheaper than its competitors."
"At present, the pricing seems reasonable, but with our plans to scale, I anticipate that it could become a bit steep."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"It's quite expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"The solution is expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
