Effortlessly manage relationships with seamless contact data integration

The primary area to improve is creating deployable packages. When I buy into HubSpot, I have a list of checks, however, I am left to figure out how to use it. I start with a budget, and it's just a persistent sales demand. HubSpot should establish some pre-deployable packages that, when contracted, offer basic functionality. It is important to be clear about what it doesn't provide or what else is needed. I can outfit myself with my own tools or other options as I evaluate the board. They are building businesses for themselves. However, there's always a limiting function encountered. Understanding limitations upon entry would be beneficial so I don't constantly stumble upon unknown constraints. A package covering everything in a particular area without requiring the entire purchase would be excellent.

Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive

I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"HubSpot CRM's most valuable features are that it is straightforward and it gives us most of the things that we need and it is easy to onboard with it. You don't need specific integrations with IT, which is very good. The learning curve for HubSpot CRM is quite easy."

"I am working in a small company. We have a sales teams that consist of 10 people. HubSpot CRM is scalable and easy to use."

"It has nice features and matches our pipeline. Even in the free version, all of the features are available."

"The initial setup process is straightforward."

"The feature that is beneficial from HubSpot CRM is business intelligence."

"The automations that HubSpot provides, such as creating sequences and the playbooks they have, are valuable."

"When we cannot dedicate a lot of time to each of these, in terms of research and support, it helps us automate some small things and provides opportunities."

"The most valuable features of HubSpot CRM are ease of use, lead generation, and follow-up leads. Additionally, there are a lot of connectors to other solutions, such as Jira and Slack. Whether it's a scrum tool or the ticketing tool, it has a connector."

More HubSpot CRM pros

"The case management feature is really valuable."

"Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options."

"Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly."

"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."

"The solution is very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."

"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."

More Pega CRM pros

Cons

"HubSpot CRM could be flexible and customizable."

"The product is not very scalable."

"They are trying to make it better by adding agent.ai to HubSpot, however, it's in a very early stage."

"We found that automated emails were challenging to manage in the tool. While the feature allows you to create dynamic email templates, it was difficult to tweak and fetch data associated with different objects, such as contacts and custom objects."

"I believe that the navigation for sales representatives is not very good, and the tool needs improvement since it has become a mess with too much information to manage."

"When the system fails to load data, the error messages are not user-friendly and can be confusing."

"Right now, HubSpot CRM fills my needs. The solution is good for marketing, and you can schedule when you want your ads and your emails to be sent out to your clients. You can track your client pipeline, you can see who viewed your messages and who hasn't, etc. I feel that HubSpot CRM is adequate for my need, but if the solution has the functionality of not needing to input your password every single time you log into the platform, then that would make it better. If that could be incorporated into the new version of HubSpot CRM, then the solution would go a long way."

"There is room for improvement in pricing. The pricing strategy that they have is way too clever."

More HubSpot CRM cons

"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."

"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."

"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."

"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases."

"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"

"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."

"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."

"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of HubSpot CRM is less than the cost of Freshsales."

"HubSpot CRM is affordable."

"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."

"Pricing is based on the number of users."

"If one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing as a five. HubSpot CRM is much more expensive than Salesforce. My company probably pays around 40 USD per user monthly."

"The price of the solution could improve because it is expensive."

"It's in the upper range. If 10 represents the most expensive, I'd rate it a 7 out of 10. Its price also depends on the size of your team."

"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."

More HubSpot CRM pricing and cost advice

"We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."
