Partner Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Easy, and ready to use, but it has too many options to manage
Pros and Cons
- "The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list."
- "I would prefer it to be easier to manage, or a bit simpler, with fewer options. It's nice to have so many options, but for some clients, having so many options may not be necessary, they can just customize accordingly."
What is our primary use case?
I am a reseller. I provide solutions to our customers.
We use HubSpot for CRM, to contact clients, to send emails, from deal initiation or lead generation to closes, and we keep track of the deals or the context there. It also serves as a repository for all of the context of our organization.
What is most valuable?
It is quite good. The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list. If I need to send mail directly from HubSpot, I can do so; I can also call directly from our store. All of those features are built-in.
It is easy to use.
What needs improvement?
I don't see anything that I don't like.
At times there are too many things. Based on different people's profiles. When you put too many things in a solution, it can become very clumsy. When there are too many things, too many updates, and too many notes for a single deal, case, or customer, it becomes difficult to manage everything at the same time.

Program Manager at Tereta
Tracks interactions and pipelines, schedules emails, and consolidates client information, but needs the functionality of remembering passwords, so you won't have to input passwords every time

Another valuable feature of the solution is having all your client information in a consolidated database."
- "Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."
