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.

There's definitely room for process improvement in SAP Service Cloud. In my opinion, what can be better in SAP Service Cloud includes having the data center existence properly implemented. Not all cloud solutions are present in data centers. While we evaluate the product, we have to check the existence of the product in all nearest data centers. For example, while I check the data center through the Trust Center on SAP's website, I found that most cloud solutions are installed in Riyadh, but they are missing some very important tools such as LeanIX, which is not existent in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce solutions are also missing, and some aspects of C4C, such as Customer Data Cloud, are not present in many data centers. Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa. They evaluate demand before installation, but having all solutions in the center point could encourage sales cycles.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The tool facilitates adding the relevant information to the records automatically, so you don't have to look things up, as there is an automated search engine and a complete field for you."
"I like the tool's flexibility. It allows us to customize our sales cycle approach. However, this flexibility can be challenging, as there are many options to consider."
"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."
"We use the tool for email automation and responses. It helps with sales nurturing, and we have integrated it with Factors.ai. The biggest pro is its intuitive and easy-to-use interface. I can easily access the information I need. Another strong point is the customer education they provide. There are numerous resources available to help understand how to use it. HubSpot Sales Hub does a great job with automation and structuring sales processes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the tracking of customer interaction and client introduction."
"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."
"The embedded AI inside SAP, called Business AI, impacts decision-making and resolution times significantly, working as a smart conversational chat in Joule to create dashboards and compare historical data with sales forecasts."
 

Cons

"The initial setup process is not very complicated."
"The pricing structure includes a base payment for the sales part, which is somewhat expensive compared to other options."
"There have been some challenges related to workflow customization and terminology."
"It would be good to be able to add AI and make it easier to integrate the tool with our day-to-day processes."
"HubSpot Sales Hub could be improved by being more affordable in other countries because it is a very potential software, but it is not much accessible for other players in the market."
"The tool should add a prospect success feature. Some intelligence should be drawn from our activities and the data we're feeding to recommend the next action. Some AI enablement will help us take the next step for a particular prospect or recommend solutions to help with prospect conversion from an out-of-the-box perspective."
"The tool should get better at catching leads. Currently, it works better on catching inbound leads. Whenever a person signs up on the website, HubSpot catches the lead and creates an account. However, it is not 100 percent accurate."
"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."
"Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"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."
"From a pricing point of view, it was 1,000 dollars per month. The solution was worth the money paid for it."
