Manages prospecting and identifies the entire sales lifecycle for a prospect
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. The most valuable features in this solution are the activity tracking for a particular prospect, deal sizing, deal valuation, the entire ecosystem of the deal, and the contact person associated with the deal. The tool is quite user-friendly. When we started using it, it was quite clear how to use it. It is a very user-friendly platform, so adopting it had no significant issues. One valuable feature is that it automatically integrates into HubSpot when you write an email to a prospect and include a specific email ID. This gives clear insights into ongoing communications, eliminating information hiding. This feature helps in understanding the entire historical aspect of a prospect, even if the person originally handling it is unavailable.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HubSpot Sales Hub is a good integration tool. It helps us with other platforms. We can integrate data quite easily."
"Overall, I give HubSpot Sales Hub a rating of ten because it is a strong platform for sales."
"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."
"The product helps us to identify coincidences and work to build a model that will allow us to identify opportunities."
"It provides efficient business forecasts."
"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 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."
"The tool has improved my sales pipeline management. It allows me to track the progress of each sales cycle and receive alerts when a sales stage is ending, prompting me to take necessary actions. I can easily manage customer interactions, primarily through email, which are automatically associated with the corresponding lead or opportunity. This helps me forecast sales. Additionally, the tool offers other useful tools for marketing and email marketing activities."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"It would be good to be able to add AI and make it easier to integrate the tool with our day-to-day processes."
"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 solution should have more integration options."
"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."
"The solution is good, but it could be more straightforward."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the dashboard. If we can actually connect it to maybe a Power BI or some dynamic reporting tool where we can actually slice and dice, that would be really great."
"There is a general challenge with CRMs, including HubSpot Sales Hub, where users may not fully understand the system's capabilities. I believe there is a need for better clarification and explanation of what CRMs entail."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The tool's licensing offers value."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"The solution is very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
