The main benefit that HubSpot CRM provides for me is that I can complete a campaign and rather than sending metrics to my sales team manually, I can customize them ad hoc based on the requirement.

The most valuable feature for me is when I encounter a company or a person, I can drop in their URL, and it pre-populates various details like address information and other contacts they might have.

There are limitations with user limitations. I would want a feature where certain users do not need to export data and I want to be notified if anyone is exporting.

They are trying to make it better by adding agent.ai to HubSpot, however, it's in a very early stage.

The biggest constraint with HubSpot CRM is their pricing. Their per-user pricing is on the higher side, and most of their enterprise contracts require a minimum one-year guarantee for any enterprise agreement.

To improve HubSpot CRM, I think they should have a sequence feature like how Outreach or SalesLoft has it, and possibly incorporate a Gong-like feature where you can give feedback and receive feedback from all the conversations you're having with prospects and customers.

Sometimes, the usability is not intuitive. There is a lot of work required to set it up the way I like.

There is room for improvement in pricing. The pricing strategy that they have is way too clever.
