HubSpot CRM
Chose HubSpot CRM
We use Apollo.io, but that's just for some sales automation. Mostly, HubSpot CRM has everything that a not-so-power user of a particular stream would ask for. You cannot go wrong with HubSpot CRM, and a very easy decision unless somebody has very specific requirements. As a …
Chose HubSpot CRM
I have worked for companies that used Pipedrive and Zoho CRM Plus, but despite their differences in features, I find these tools to be the same. Zoho CRM Plus is excellent software to keep clients' information in the same location, but it is too costly if you ask me. Pipedrive …
Chose HubSpot CRM
We liked the automated marketing that is available in HubSpot CRM compared to other products. It's also very easy to create reporting and view pipelines for different teams.
Chose HubSpot CRM
We've been using Hubspot for years and don't foresee making any changes away from it. It has been fully integrated into how our business operates. We ultimately selected HubSpot CRM because it had all the features and functions that our marketing, sales, and operations teams …
Chose HubSpot CRM
I used Salesforce in a previous company. It was way more complex, especially because we would receive bugs and error messages that would prevent us from fixing the issue when it was urgent, as it would cause a contract not to be sent, for example. We had a customized version …
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM has closed the gap and stacks up to staple CRM's like Sales Force. They've made themselves more appealing by lowering the entry-cost to get started.
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM definitely has the most features and is built for enterprise clients. We have been testing some other CRMs. They often have limited functionality but for a cheaper price ex. Attio.
Chose HubSpot CRM
We integrated salesfoce and HubSpot CRM. HubSpot CRM is great for marketing but we believed salesforce had a better workflow and CRM capabilities.
Chose HubSpot CRM
Better in almost every way for a small business - more straightforward, more functionality out of the box, really easy to understand, and get support too.
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot is easier to navigate, work in, and export data compared to these other software. Its integration with Zapier, Slack, and Chargebee has revolutionized the relationship between our sales and CS teams, making information extremely easy to find. These other platforms I …
Chose HubSpot CRM
I think SFDC does some things better than HS but overall comparable. ChurnZero literally serves a different purpose, but I will say that Company/ Contact management and reporting are much easier in CZ.
Chose HubSpot CRM
I prefer use of Monday overall and we have since transitioned to Monday for many of our teams. I think Monday has a more intuitive interface and better customization. Training is inferior to HubSpot, but customer support is superior. Monday, frankly looks cooler.
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM has its own strengths and is well suited for companies in the Series A/Series B range. I have used other tools which are highly customizable but when the use-cases are particularly unique and custom.
Chose HubSpot CRM
We felt that HubSpot CRM served us better when we were still a start up, and tailors also very well to scale ups. We felt Monday was a tool more for start ups that wanted a CRM and project management tool at the same time, which wasn't what we were looking for. Salesforce CRM …
Chose HubSpot CRM
We selected HubSpot CRM because it was so many tools in one and felt like the right sized platform for my agency (we are small, just a few folks). The academy and self serve option made onboarding feel easier than I thought. The other tools are mainly email providers, we …
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM works 'by itself', if you add different components to the suite, like Marketing, for example, you won't lose data or need to check the quality of syncs, APIs or webhooks. It's all native, all in one.
Chose HubSpot CRM
We use/used Active Campaign in one of our companies and in our current company we are using High Level. The main reason we use a combination of the two is due to the budget constraints. High Level is far more affordable, provides many if not all of the same features as …
Chose HubSpot CRM
Salesforce is the leading legacy (and modern) provider for a reason, but it should be clearly mentioned that is so admin-heavy that it is sometimes just very burdensome to work with them. Basically, you need an entire team of employees work full-time with Salesforce just to …
Chose HubSpot CRM
We currently mostly use Robly for newsletters and email campaigns. It's a bit simpler and straightforward in design, results, and reporting.
Chose HubSpot CRM
In our company, we previously used various CRMs that often had shortcomings and failed us at critical moments. Since adopting HubSpot CRM, we've noticed significant improvements, as it allows us to segment our databases, properly qualify leads, and generate reports and insights …
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM allows you to create much more complex and sophisticated workflows than most competitors that I have used. At the same time, it does the basics very well if all you want to do is create a list of contacts, send them emails, and measure your email deliverability and …
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM is just a very attractive well organized platform that is constantly evolving and had it not been for the cost and contract terms it would be a top recommendation.
Chose HubSpot CRM
Salesforce got overly complicated and expensive. Some basic needs like sequencing were an added expense (although this was a number of years ago)
Chose HubSpot CRM
Microsoft Dynamics is not very flexible in connecting with other apps or with other ideas and processes. Salesforce is definitely too costly and also the customer service is not working well. HubSpot is doing much better on that, and overall, it's the solution that has from our …

Likelihood to Recommend
Most of our clients are either government institutions or Education sector clients, such as universities, colleges, Coaching Institutes, and Competitive boards. We store their data in a single place. That means we can keep our one client's data in one place without any confusion. Our data is always clear and understandable while it is in HubSpot CRM.

Pros
  • The ability to create marketing campaigns and have control over when to stop and when to send the next according to your cadence design is excellent. However the ability to see the performance and the history for each prospect is so simple and so accessible - I kicked myself for not getting it sooner.
  • Having one place to create companies and contacts as well as score leads and track all contract products means we don't have to miss any renewals.
  • The Deal tracker gives us the ability to track multiple pipelines as well as team and individual metrics like average sale, percentage of goal, contribution to team effort which when mixed with an activity tracker means the team stays lean and mean to crush all goals.
  • The real time chat feature means prospects can navigate to our landing page for info about us, levels of product availability, pricing and begin a quick chat with members of the sales and support team.
  • Intel features along with lead scoring, SEO integration, podcasts and white papers all combine to be the most comprehensive CRM you could need.

Cons
  • At times, it feels like there are too many options, which can be overwhelming when trying to grasp all that it has to offer fully.
  • The reporting features are lacking. It can be challenging to pull and export reports to share with users who are not on Hubspot.
  • It appears to have more issues with Windows; it consistently logs out and requires re-login to the CRM and the HubSpot Outlook add-on.

To be honest there are some barriers due to which we are unable to use Hubspot at it's full potentials. The region that we work in has some restrictions that don't allow us to make calls or text which leaves us to just Email to the client.

Usability
Once you are set up with HubSpot CRM, it becomes difficult to use any other tool, as it integrates you into the workflow and makes it a habit to log in to HubSpot to identify tasks for the day. The overall ease of use is also a brilliant factor in using HubSpot. They push you towards deal closure and revenue generation.

Support Rating
Because when I needed help HubSpot responded immediately and provided me with the information I needed which enabled me to realize that HubSpot was even more customizable and easier to use than I thought! And I already thought HubSpot was very user friendly and easy to use, and then Support showed me how to manipulate the settings, columns and the appearance of the tool.

If you've had any prior experience with cloud based marketing automation or group communication tools, you can do the implementation without paid outside support. Though getting to a SLA (service level agreement) would be best achieved with the help of a third party who can facilitate

Return on Investment
  • Gave a ton of visibility into user and sales funnel.
  • Able to get back to new signups or inbound leads much faster, sometimes within minutes. We have a Slack integration that's super helpful.
  • Saved hours each week that were earlier spent digging through emails or spreadsheets for context; meetings are a lot shorter because it is super easy to go through the created reports.
