Our primary use case for this solution is developing a sales funnel for our clients. The sales funnel has about 14 stages, and we use it for analysis and providing pointers to the sales team where contacts are moving forward, stagnant, or haven't been contacted for a while.

814,763 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We have two businesses using it. One has about 2,000 contacts, and the other has about 30,000 contacts.
How are customer service and support?
Our experience with customer support has been good, but they are often slow to fix the issue due to time zone differences.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have used Zoho.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is reasonably straightforward, and it is tasking. You have to set up flows, decisions, and rules. The process could be simplified.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution costs approximately $100 monthly, but the price increases depending on the volume of contacts you have. As the tiers get larger, the pricing increases.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but it could be more straightforward. I advise people evaluating this solution to find something simpler unless their corporate structure demands some of the extra functionality that HubSpot Sales Hub provides.

Client Manager at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Reliable and helps identify opportunities but support is slow
Pros and Cons
- "The product helps us to identify coincidences and work to build a model that will allow us to identify opportunities."
- "There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution as a CRM. It's like a simplified version of Salesforce. It can automate communications and tracking of data.
We use the solution to select the opportunities, not identify opportunities, across a wide range of customers. The company has more than 5,500 customers and it helps identify sales opportunities. I'm using it to automate searches.
What is most valuable?
The product helps us to identify coincidences and work to build a model that will allow us to identify opportunities. We can compare customer behaviors or the average BI view and identify groups of customers to which we can offer certain kinds of products or solutions. It really helps with building these models.
The stability is good overall.
What needs improvement?
There are a lot of improvements that can be made. There have been many instances where we later identified certain customers that should have been on our target list yet were not. We're not sure why they were not verified and added to the list. It is not consistent. They need to build out that aspect.
The solution isn't exactly scalable.
Technical support is slow to respond.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for about two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a cloud solution and is available almost 100% of the time. It seems to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable to a certain level. For our level of 1,500 customers, it works well. I'm not sure how well it would scale beyond that. I haven't tried. My understanding is it wouldn't be suitable for very large numbers of customers.
How are customer service and support?
Support is not that good. It takes too long. I'm not sure if our contract should have a better SLA. In my experience, I've had to wait a few days to get a response.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't know the exact value of the contract. I don't deal with licensing.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate the solution six out of ten. It's okay. It could be better. There are quite a few things that could be fixed.
