Offers better lead and opportunity management, improved forecasting, increased visibility, and time-saving benefits
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 most effective feature for email tracking is the integration that immediately captures customer replies and associates them with the customer's history. This allows easy access to all interactions via email without needing to search through emails. Additionally, integrating email signatures and managing multiple email accounts makes tracking and managing emails very convenient. The tool offers an easy overview of opportunities. The solution's reporting feature is easy to configure and manage. The value includes better lead and opportunity management, improved forecasting, increased visibility, and time-saving benefits.

Pros

"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."

"Overall, I give HubSpot Sales Hub a rating of ten because it is a strong platform for sales."
"It provides efficient business forecasts."
"I found the interface to be modern and intuitive. It offers excellent documentation and guidance for effectively managing sales pipelines."
"The solution is very straightforward to utilize."

Additionally, the tool offers other useful tools for marketing and email marketing activities."
"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 product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"In my experience, the reporting area of the solution is somewhere the solution lacks a bit."
"There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not."
"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 should have more integration options."
"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."
"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."
"It would be good if there were sort of more templated processes offered by the tool since this is an area where the product has shortcomings."
"When it comes to the UI part of the product, it looks very novice and definitely not something meant for an enterprise-grade level business."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 price as seven on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the most expensive, and one is the least expensive."
"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
