Our goal was to get the accuracy of data and process it. So, we have integrated a bunch of things so that the accuracy of the data can be increased once the impact ratio of the data is increased. We have created a campaign for emails and a funnel to trace each and every client we are targeting.

Easy to use and you can store around 10,00,000 records for free
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature of the solution is its free version, where you can store around 10,00,000 records in HubSpot CRM for free if you have a business email ID."
- "The solution's user interface can be simpler with features that are easy to navigate."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution is its free version, where you can store around 10,00,000 records in HubSpot CRM for free if you have a business email ID. It was really good to try and use it for free until that limit was raised. HubSpot CRM is easy to use, and a person who doesn't have a coding background can learn how to use it to solve problems.
What needs improvement?
Logging in and doing things in the solution's main interface is a bit complex. The solution's user interface can be simpler with features that are easy to navigate. I have faced a few difficulties while managing contacts, and the solution has a few bugs. The technical support of the solution could be improved because their response time is slow.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using HubSpot CRM for three and a half years.

837,501 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
HubSpot CRM is a very stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We haven’t faced any scalability issues with HubSpot CRM. Around 20 to 50 internal team members currently use the solution in our organization.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup was very easy.
What other advice do I have?
HubSpot CRM is deployed on the cloud in our organization. HubSpot CRM easily integrates with our marketing and service efforts. We have several databases. We have written a script, and by that script, it imports the contact easily to the CRM, and then we do our job. The CRM should have the option to integrate with databases like MongoDB. If a company's database is in MongoDB, we can directly import it without writing a third-party script.
Overall, I rate the solution a seven to eight out of ten.

Chief Innovation Officer - FOUNDER- Channels Strategy - Nebulai - A Digital Transformation Corp. at Nebulai
User-friendly, flexible, and can be integrated with other tools to enhance productivity
Pros and Cons
- "The tool is user-friendly."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to host all our customer management and sales. We also use it for lead tracking. We see what's working and move in different stages. We have several stages of the sales process. The solution helps us follow up with the sales team members and see their efforts with a specific client or opportunity.
We also have a tier-two campaign. If the campaign becomes a lead, it goes into HubSpot for follow-up and engagement. We use Apollo. It ties to HubSpot when it gets a lead. The lead is sent to HubSpot and is followed up with.
What is most valuable?
The solution is flexible. We can integrate it with other products. It is very effective. It is often preferred in the industry, so we have many opportunities to integrate it with many other tools to enhance productivity. The tool is user-friendly.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was fairly easy. We have people who understand the process. They did a very quick job. The technical project manager deployed the tool in our organization.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The vendor has been very accommodating. We're startups. They have given us a pretty decent price.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The product is not like Salesforce or Oracle, but it's strong enough to drive the business.
What other advice do I have?
HubSpot is suitable for small and medium businesses. The email tracking is done through Apollo. It is absolutely necessary. We need to have a way to track the emails. It gives us intelligence about what is going on with the tool. The dashboard is necessary to figure out what is going on. Overall, I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Clear workflow, provide timely support and stable product
Pros and Cons
- "The best thing about HubSpot is its clear workflow. Anyone can understand the flows of your contacts, your emails, their delivery dates, and the reasons behind their movements."
- "There is a limitation with the integration with other tools or workflows."
What is our primary use case?
I mostly use it for CRM functionalities. I use it for online marketing automation, particularly email marketing.
How has it helped my organization?
HubSpot email tracking and notification feature with sales follow-ups is good. You can easily track very much by UTM, so if you add it in your mails or notifications.
What is most valuable?
The best thing about HubSpot is its clear workflow. Anyone can understand the flows of your contacts, your emails, their delivery dates, and the reasons behind their movements.
The workflows and reporting features make everything so much easier and clearer. Whatever I have used has been a perfect fit for my needs.
What needs improvement?
There is a limitation with the integration with other tools or workflows, but we have to take all the tools that are easily integrated with HubSpot; otherwise, you have to use the API to connect with HubSpot. We have both options available, easy to use as well as through the API.
One more thing that we cannot use in HubSpot is, for that reason, we have to get another subscription. If you have one company and they have two other branches, you can only use one company's website at once. You cannot use two companies' logos and one email via HubSpot.
Picture this scenario: the parent company is Alphabet, and Google is a company under Alphabet. If Alphabet has a license for HubSpot CRM, they have to buy a different license for Google.
So, you can only use one of your business units at once.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't found any bugs up to date. So, it has been a stable product for me.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have two clients. We use it at an enterprise level.
How are customer service and support?
I am happy with the support coming from HubSpot.
I'm very happy with it because they provide timely responses. I can just write a question and get a quick answer. Sometimes we even call and solve it together.
How was the initial setup?
It's not that difficult to set up. The setup time was manageable for our internal teams. Also, they offer 24-hour support if you have that account, and they'll help you with everything.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is in a midrange if you line up the marketing tools.
It is worth the money.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend going for HubSpot because if your data is inside HubSpot, you can easily use and manipulate it throughout your campaign.
If your data is in Salesforce, you would need to integrate it with HubSpot, which might lead to bidirectional issues. There are concerns when you have to connect to other tools.
Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. The workflows are easy to create compared to others, and their reporting and dashboarding are also very awesome. Everything is so much detailed about it.
The curating emails make things easier than other tools. But I'll cut down two points just because of the pricing, and we cannot send different business unit emails from the same account.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud

Deploy HubSpot CRM with someone who has done it successfully in the past. It is a solid platform, and I rate it a nine out of ten.

Around 400 to 500 people might be using the solution in our organization globally.
How was the initial setup?
A team in Europe does the setup for us. Typically, when we ask them something, it takes a little while before they get it done. I do not know if it is related to the team or the tool. When we started using it, we never really had a lot of work around it.
What about the implementation team?
We decided to start using the product because some of our other entities in Delaware use it. We started with the template that another entity was already using. It didn't take much time. It was done in a matter of a week or two. It was very quick. We have one person who manages the tool. I don't know if she works with others to get things done. I take all my queries to her, and she ensures that my problems disappear.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay a subscription fee for the product.
What other advice do I have?
We're not power users. I use the basic functionality of the solution. I recommend HubSpot. The main reason why I recommend HubSpot is that it is very easy to learn. It is a flexible tool. It's not overly complex, and it is quick to adopt. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Engineering Consltant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Effectively integrates with other email tools and website
Pros and Cons
- "It was quite stable. I didn't notice any specific issues or downtime"
- "The only thing that was tough was that the functionality was very dependent on the licensing level. So there were many things I wanted to do, but then I'd have to add on different licenses or purchase different add-ons."
What is our primary use case?
It integrated with the emailing tools, so that was really helpful. The fact that you could go right to the CRM and track communications in terms of your emails to and from prospects. That was probably the most helpful. It's a really simple tool, very easy to manage. It was very easy for even one person to manage it. For example, if I made the list in Excel and then converted it into an XML format and uploaded it, that was really easy.
What is most valuable?
I integrated Hubspot CRM into my website. If somebody who was on my list went to my website, I could get analytics on that. That was really helpful.

The only thing that was tough was that the functionality was very dependent on the licensing level. So there were many things I wanted to do, but then I'd have to add on different licenses or purchase different add-ons.

I rate HubSpot CRM a nine out of ten for stability.
