    Considered Both Products
    HubSpot
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    SugarCRM was a much more flexible and powerful tool than Hubspot as far as customization and configuration but our users adopted Hubspot much easier because it felt simpler to them and less busy in the the user interface.

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot is a CRM platform that provides all of its features within a single system - a single source of truth for businesses looking to deepen their relationships with their customers.

    • In contrast, Marketo struggles in usability. Their tools are powerful, yes, but it often …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Extremely easy to customize interface to meet your deal flow and workflow. Easily adopted by non-technical users. HubSpot CRM's focus on usability and accessibility gives it a competitive edge when compared to other CRM software solutions. Its ability to empower users to …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot CRM is easier to use. The integrations work seamlessly and provide the ability to work without further tinkering.

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    The free version alone stacks up pretty well against the mentioned competitors. I believe as your business operations grow, the price points for additional users and needed functionalities will grow as well, and HubSpot is well within competitive pricing to compete with the …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    I’d say it only ranks behind Salesforce and Odoo in customization, and wins amongst all four when it comes to ease of use and scalability in startups and scaleups
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot CRM is more intuitive, easier to navigate, better reporting and saves me a to of time, especially over Salesforce.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    I like HubSpot the best because it aligns all of my Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams in one system, under one shared database.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Very different use case. I would recommend HubSpot CRM above any of my previous experiences.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Hubspot CRM provides better marketing features. Also, it is easy to adapt Hubspot CRM with our sales cycle.
    There are many other features such as sales reporting that give a better idea of the business progress. In addition, Hubspot CRM hosts web pages that make it easy to …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    It is better than all of them and to start out it is free so great for any company starting out and things can be added along the way
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot CRM automates more sales activities than any other CRM I've experienced. Admin is a breeze, especially compared to some. And, of course, the price point is compelling.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    The ability to incorporate custom fields and objects gives great versatility to Hubspot CRM, however the lack of ability to incorporate a lot of that custom data into reporting and dashboards means that outside of list management, there isn't much upside to relying on custom …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Some are too basic, others are stupidly complex (fine in the right environment though) but Hubspot works well for us.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    SugarCRM has much more capabilities, but is far worse as far as quality goes. Bullhorn is a definite third place. HubSpot ranks best of the three in ease of use, performance, and as said before, the cost.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot's CRM is set up for sales teams around 2 to 50 sales people. It is extremely easy to use and scalable with different sales professionals. Best thing about the CRM is that it is free. Everything you might need is packed into a tightly wrapped little sales tool box.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    HubSpot is much more seller friendly and intuitive. It is easier to use and more efficient.
    Incentivized
    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Both of the CRMs I've worked with in the past were too bulky and cluttered. They also did not have the integrated database with marketing that give me such powerful closed loop analytics. From first touch to sold this helps us track what happens to leads better than any I've …

    Chose HubSpot CRM
    Our team and senior managers deemed these products worth reviewing and requested that every team assess them, enabling our company to make an informed decision about the software to purchase. Everybody checked, and a survey was conducted among all those employees. We received …

    SugarCRM
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    Sugar is a legacy product for us and given the amount of history and data we have in it, we didn't look too seriously at switching. We decided that despite its flaws, it was still a better decision for us to stick with Sugar and simply bring in a consultant who could help us …
