Flexible, stable and offers comprehensive feature set, including core CRM functionalities like lead management and marketing automation
It's good. We haven't had to escalate issues to them often. They have a support team and a community forum where you can ask questions or find answers. The community is great – we've almost always found answers to our questions there, especially regarding the API. We got in touch with customer service and support once or twice. Once was when they were deprecating a feature by a certain date, and we needed to extend the timeline for us because we couldn't meet that deadline. They were very accommodating and readily extended it for us by a couple of months. And another time, there was some technical question. And they were fine. They did help. It was okay.

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

"We can track clients through the system, which is a great feature. It supports cross-functional teams."
"The interface is good."
"The solution's most valuable features stem mostly from the sequencing of marketing automation."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"It's very easy to use and configure HubSpot CRM."
"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."
"I like how you can track one account from marketing to closing the deal. For example, suppose you generated a lead through marketing, you can then track it through to when the deal is closed."
"The setup is very easy."
"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."
"The case management feature is really valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal."
"The product's deployment phase was easy."
"One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors."
"It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue."
 

Cons

"HubSpot CRM integration needs improvement."
"It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."
"The solution's email capabilities could be improved."
"HubSpot CRM could improve by reducing the price."
"We wanted to discover a list of clients that spend an average amount with us, and we just don't have that answer at this time. There just aren't enough answers being provided for the questions we have, and that's a real downside."
"HubSpot CRM could improve in integration with other solutions."
"Invoices were the thing we were thinking should be part of the solution, and that's been added now."
"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."
"Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model."
"There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo"
"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it."
"It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive."
"The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications."
"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."
"The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."
"The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a few licensing payment models, such as annual or monthly. The solution is modular, which means that if you need a specific capability or function within the organization, you can purchase it specifically and you don't have to purchase something that is only utilized by 20 percent of the organization."
"There is a cost for the solution. However, I am not aware of the price."
"We are using HubSpot CRM’s free version."
"The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"HubSpot CRM is affordable."
"The pricing for this solution is user based. We're paying $39 to $45 per user."
"HubSpot CRM has a free version, which is why small companies prefer it. The paid version of this software needs to be priced better."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
