Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties."

What is our primary use case?

We use HubSpot for marketing and sales purposes. We use it to create blog posts, and our website is also hosted on HubSpot.

We monitor website traffic and can see how much traffic is generated through social media. We also run different email campaigns and utilize the newsletter functions as well to create newsletters and send them to all of the customers.

We have two types of teams: enterprise and demand generation teams. If a new lead comes, they will add all the details to HubSpot, track the leads, and know where they come from, whether they are from partners or direct customers.

We can send all the emails to HubSpot and call customers from HubSpot as well because the calls are recorded to HubSpot.

How has it helped my organization?

We've seen improvements in our organization. We can monitor all the leads and campaigns that are running through HubSpot. We can track all the bills in the sales pipelines and monitor who's working and who's not. We can also see the revenue generated. All of this can be monitored through the software.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

It will make it easier for us to automate if HubSpot would put in a little bit of work on the properties.

We have some small challenges when some aspects need to be manually created.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using HubSpot CRM for the past six months. We use the cloud-based solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

You can scale the product.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from HubSpot is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we were using Freshsales, and it was also good. However, we were making some automation changes, and the cost of Freshsales was higher than that for HubSpot. That's the reason why we switched to HubSpot.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is so easy. They provide training regarding the setup, so the experience was very good. I would give it a five out of five.

The deployment took about two months, and we are still making a few changes.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it ourselves.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

What other advice do I have?

If you're planning to use HubSpot CRM for marketing and sales support, it's a great tool, and you can automate what you view on every account, every day in the pipeline.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at nine.
