The platform and the content are all free to use, browse and get certified. No locked content or anything like that. Also the certifications are all free. You get a badge and link to share on social media right when passing the test.

Salesforce does offer instructor-led or self-paced learning and the certifications weigh pretty heavily with customers and employers. I think HS Academy provides comparable learning with an opportunity for attendees to implement new tactics and strategies into their routine. …

Chose HubSpot Academy
HubSpot CRM is a better fit for us than Ontraport. Ontraport was OK when we just started implementing email marketing. Now that we want to tie together sales and marketing and also our ticketing, HubSpot has simplified the workflow for us. It's very convenient to log into just …

Digital Marketer is another one I've used, and it's more for detailed courses with examples and worksheets. You take the knowledge and apply it for actionable results right away, where as HubSpot Academy are more high-level courses to refresh you on various topics, but don't go …

Usability
For HubSpot Academy's usability, I rate it a 9 because it is very simple and easy to use. HubSpot Academy is very user friendly. You can pick a category like "email marketing" then you will have an intro video, follow up detail videos, practice quizzes, interactive practices, and some sections have a certification quiz at the end. It is very easy to navigate sections. The only reason I rate the usability a 9 instead of a 10 is because sometimes HubSpot Academy does not register the interactive practices.

HubSpot Academy is great for training on the HubSpot CRM. Like stated in pervious questions, it is very simple and easy to use. It is the best way to train for using HubSpot because there are videos and practices for every topic like email marketing, workflows, etc. I personally think HubSpot is much more user friendly than Salesforce. However, we do use both and like both for different reasons but I think HubSpot is simpler to use.
