HubSpot CMS HUB is a great fit for $1 Million+ orgs looking to take the next step in their online marketing and presence. If you need a more streamlined approach to your website, with more purposeful tools to convert online visitors, HubSpot CMS HUB is definitely at the top of the list. The only scenario where HubSpot CMS HUB would not work well is for e-commerce sites looking to sell directly on their main site. HubSpot does not cater to e-commerce and would be a poor fit for online stores selling their products

Cons
  • Although you can integrate it with Google Analytics, there is still a significant difference between what each tells you about [a] number of visitors to a given page, etc.
  • There's a lot to the program and it's not always intuitive where to go for a feature. Though the help center and academy are good and usually have the answers, having to look things up isn't.
  • It's expensive.
Read full review
  • Data is a mess. So unreliable. Takes so much time to create a concrete report.
  • There is no ability to export anything. No calendar PDFs, no data Excel sheets, nothing.
  • No paid management functionality.
  • Hated their listening tool abilities relative to other tools I've used.

I don't think we justify the amount of usage we have of CMS Hub professional. We might discontinue it to save some bucks. But if we ever need an extensive solution, we'll come back to it, as we already other products of Hubspot (Sales Hub, Reporting, Automations)

As we have grown to implement Percolate with more and more people within our company, we have also run into more features we'd like to see in the app. The Percolate team has been extremely understanding about these requests, and even visited our offices to sit and listen to exactly what we are looking for. Assuming these new features make it into production with them, we'll definitely stay with Percolate for the long term

Usability
HubSpot CMS Hub provides small, medium and even large companies with the basic requirements to launch their marketing business, but to provide an all-in-1 solution will take some more time and creativity to avoid the necessity of working with competitors to complete the package.

Rarely has a company shown this much support during implementation. This almost got to the point where it was too much hand holding. Sometimes, social teams just want the keys to the car so they can drive it themselves instead of waiting on someone to drive along with them...

Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or component comes at a cost and does not automatically update your license. Percolate has a different approach. If it is an update and it is good for the platform, you should get it. Therefore, they update the tool OFTEN and always evolving the functionality.
  • Which leads to my next point, Percolate wants to build the best-in-class social content management tool, period. Therefore, they are not chasing ways to upcharge you with new functions and modules. They focus on their core product and make it better and better.
  • Lastly, the pricing is simple and easy to understand. The cost is the cost.. no hidden details. Good luck getting that transparency with platforms like Sprinklr or Radian6.
