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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I give HubSpot Sales Hub a rating of ten because it is a strong platform for sales."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is a good integration tool. It helps us with other platforms. We can integrate data quite easily."
"The customer service and support are very good because every time I need something, they reply immediately even in the free version."
"HubSpot Sales Hub is useful for managing workflows."
"I found the interface to be modern and intuitive. It offers excellent documentation and guidance for effectively managing sales pipelines."
"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."
"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."
"HubSpot Sales Hub provides its users with very user-friendly UX or customization controls."
"The product's most valuable feature is the ease of obtaining information to make decisions."
 

Cons

"The pricing structure includes a base payment for the sales part, which is somewhat expensive compared to other 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 tool doesn't effectively summarize conversations and note-taking features. The solution needs to include predictive analytic capabilities. There is room for improvement in post-call functionalities. After a sales call, more can be done, such as providing detailed insights and better note-taking capabilities. An AI-enabled sales assistant feature would also be beneficial."
"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 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."
"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."
"In my experience, the reporting area of the solution is somewhere the solution lacks a bit."
"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."
"The platform's user interfaces could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product's pricing a five out of ten. It becomes expensive when you add more features and users."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We have to pay for licenses. They are not expensive."
"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 very affordable from the perspective of the features."
"The product's initial price is quite low, around $100 for a fixed deployment."
