Seamless integration boosts workflow through custom connectivity
The main advantage is its ease of use, and it comes with multiple connectors that can be used to integrate several other systems. The most important feature for us is the ability to plan workflows and integrate other systems manually, even without native connectivity. This is significant because we have connected our internal systems to HubSpot Sales Hub using the API. Another valuable feature is the email tracking module. Once a person is tracked, it adds all the metadata into the platform for later audit or progress tracing of the email. The custom reporting functionality is very helpful. We have been using custom reporting with HubSpot Sales Hub to get periodic reports and see the progress of certain projects. It helps us plan our sales strategy by tracking variables based on project size or site projects. We can link these projects to data and components, which helps us strategically plan based on the reports. The associated lists feature is new, though it has certain limitations when exporting data. HubSpot Sales Hub provides 95% flexibility in terms of allowing us to export, transform data, and bring it back. However, there are some limitations with the associated list feature and the API in terms of flexibility.

A customizable solution that can be integrated with almost anything
The best thing about this solution is the customizability because it can be integrated with pretty much anything. There are many solutions that are black boxes and we're unable to make any modifications to the call flows. With Interactive Intelligence, we can utilize APIs and variables. With the REST call, you can send a request and response. Elements can be incorporated into the workflow based on the response. This is the go-to thing with Interactive Intelligence. The Interactive Intelligence is quite user friendly. And Avaya, in that case, is not that great solution, on user friendliness. Basically, yeah, the same purpose I've used, but you need more expertise to manage the product. And Interactive Intelligence is one box. It contains a lot of features and we don't need to have much resources. But Avaya and others have many servers to be maintained with a single solution. It has a CN. You have to go for session manager and lots of other product servers. So, for a single solution, you need to maintain a lot of servers. This is more or less an easy environment to manage, but Avaya is very complex on the architectural level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You can create the workflows and also the different dashboards that you can create. I find it really convenient to generate a lot of reports plus the different views to present the deals."
"The product helps us to identify coincidences and work to build a model that will allow us to identify opportunities."
"The solution makes it easy for you to log in and manage your pipeline. So pipeline management is very easy and simple."
"The solution has improved our workflow by providing a centralized solution. It is a one-stop solution that allows us to analyze the sales pipeline and plan activities for specific customers, giving us insights into our approach to prospects. The key improvements include the ability to cross-sell capabilities and identify conversion influencing factors, which we can use to convert customers."
"There is definitely ROI because it helps manage the overall sales pipeline effectively; without it, we wouldn't be able to manage everything properly or strategically plan our sales strategy."
"I would say that there are two features that I found valuable. These two features are the solution's clean UI and ease of setup."
"HubSpot Sales Hub provides its users with very user-friendly UX or customization controls."
"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."
"The social media integration is excellent."
"Interactive Intelligence is quite user friendly."
 

Cons

"The pricing structure includes a base payment for the sales part, which is somewhat expensive compared to other options."
"There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not."
"There is always room for improvement; I expect more integrations with different tools. I also appreciate the mobile app's user-friendliness. However, I think there could be improvements in database cleaning and customization options for information presentation on the screen. Overall, as a final user, I am very happy with HubSpot Sales Hub."
"The initial setup process is not very complicated."
"There are a lot of areas in HubSpot Sales Hub that can improve. It is lacking some direct automation. There are a lot of challenges that we have during the integration. To solve this problem, we are using other third-party tools. They could improve on direct automation."
"I think AI-driven features would be great. For example, if it could make recommendations and suggestions for each user, like when to reply or what to say, that would be a great asset in a CRM. This could help sales reps close deals faster, which is crucial."
"The solution is good, but it could be more straightforward."
"One challenge for us is getting our team engaged in HubSpot. Some of them are not familiar with CRMs, so we spend time training them on HubSpot's features."
"The initial setup can be a bit difficult."
"The problem with this current system is that the support is not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
"The tool's licensing depends on factors like the number of contacts, users, and additional modules. But generally, it's feasible and accessible. A free license is also available, although it comes with limited features. Even the free license is cool to use."
"The solution is more on the cheaper side, but not the cheapest. I'd say it's somewhere in the middle. There are cheaper options like Zoho that provide many features at a lower price, but they're not as expensive as Salesforce or SAP."
"I rate the product price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the least expensive."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is priced reasonably. There are other solutions available that are affordable as compared to HubSpot Sales Hub. They are one of the market leaders, the price tag is good at this point."
