Executive Engagement Advisor / Founder at a marketing services firm with 51-200 employees
A good solution for email tracking
Pros and Cons
- "The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails."
- "The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
What is most valuable?
The solution helps me to structure and track marketing and sales emails. It allows me to know when a person has opened them and if they have been disseminated.
What needs improvement?
The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent. It may, in fact, be the organization itself that has automatically opened the email and not its recipient. As such, this capability is not a reliable metric.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been dealing with HubSpot Marketing Hub for around six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I consider the solution to be stable.
How are customer service and technical support?
I have not had any dealings with technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was pretty straightforward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As I employ a corporate license, I cannot say for certain how much it would cost on an individual basis. I believe it amounts to $50 per month.
What other advice do I have?
I rate HubSpot Marketing Hub as an eight out of ten.
Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.

Warrior Representative at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
A user-friendly CRM platform with a valuable automation feature
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is probably automating the system. I can send mass emails to pretty much all my contacts or certain ones that meet the demographic requirements. I've used this one and one other CRM with an auto sales company. From my experience, just the ease of use and the user interface on HubSpot is phenomenal. It's really simple and easy to navigate the program. The functionality is phenomenal, and not just the Microsoft Office part but also with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It's pretty nice."
- "The upcoming tasks feature could be better. With HubSpot, whenever I put the contact information into Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook, it automatically inputs it into HubSpot. For example, it keeps telling me to contact my Solaris representative as an upcoming task. I've tried changing the contact in it to "not a lead," but it keeps sending me that notification."
What is our primary use case?
I use it to monitor leads and engage in sales automation processes. We use it to identify certain leads or potential clients, and we use it to maintain contact with them, post-sale.

VP Marketing at Igneous
Good form capabilities and integrates well, but the API capabilities are minimal
Pros and Cons
- "Their blog platform and form capabilities are very easy to use and integrate within our web site."

What needs improvement?
API capabilities (including the performance) are minimal and the email workflow capabilities are too rigid, which results in very complicated workflow management.
