Likelihood to Recommend CodeTwo comes into its own when you have a need to enforce a consistent approach to signature deployment or you frequently change corporate branding depending on accreditions achieved, or promotions that you run. Equally if you issue different formats of signature due to privacy reasons or need to display different information based on the user who is sending an email.
Read full review As I said previously, I was not a fan at the beginning because, like everyone, I don't take change so well. Once I started following leads through HubSpot Marketing Hub, I integrated it with my email and created templates for what I needed, I started to see the positives immediately. My time working was better spent as I eliminated time put in routine tasks. I was able to track all communication in HubSpot Marketing Hub, we created systems in the office assigning tasks to one another and, through HubSpot Marketing Hub, our leads were able to book meetings in my calendar automatically. To be honest, if you are in sales and marketing, I cannot think of scenarios where HubSpot Marketing Hub cannot help. All I would like to say is, when using templates, pay attention to where you send them - you may need some personalization. I would encourage the management of HubSpot Marketing Hub to create short tutorials for beginners like me who need to configure and start using various features: setting up deals, templates, and dashboards.
Read full review Pros The rule-based signature processing is very flexible and allows for advanced assignment flows. Multiple signature variants can be used for one e-mail based on flow, recipients, keywords, etc. Set-up is straightforward and easy, while still allowing for manual modifications when desired. No-nonsense pricing and sales process. Read full review All-in-one software - the main thing HubSpot does well is the breadth of functionality. Easy of use - personally, I find it more intuitive than Marketo, which is the other MAP that I know well. Ads - I like that we can drill down on ads by channel, ad group, campaign, and even create and see performance data at each level. Read full review Cons Changing font type and color doesn't work as expected when editing multiple lines in the simple editor The custom scheduler lacks the option to recurrently schedule yearly events, e.g. the yearly Christmas signature from Dec 15 to Jan 15. You can preview a signature with real user data when editing the template, but you cannot preview a signature based on multiple rules combined like a regular signature followed by a marketing banner and then a disclaimer. Read full review While Hubspot has added some collaborative tools, I think this could improve. I'd like to see more options to comment on emails and ways of being able to share out changes as well as approval channels. The ability to update ads via the calendar is pretty cumbersome. There's no good way to bulk edit or update. You have go into each one individually. Real time edits would be nice. If you have multiple people working on the same thing, you'll get kicked out and your changes might not be saved.

It makes our jobs and their lives much easier.
Read full review Our business relies on the HubSpot platform to manage our marketing, sales and CRM processes. HubSpot marketing automation helps us define our activities and streamlines them in a cohesive and efficient way. Without HubSpot, we will have to revert to the 'old way' of doing everything with a variety of disparate systems.
Read full review Usability The implementation of the application was very simple. With just a few clicks, the Outlook add-in was rolled out and the first signature was assigned to a test group. From that point on, I was able to familiarize myself with the product very well with my team and get a feel for how we carry out a smooth onboarding. In the meantime, all our employees have switched to CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 and send every single email with the correct signature. Administration is very easy for us. Adding new people to the signature groups works smoothly. We recently changed our entire signature to a new format. Within a few minutes, all our colleagues had the new signature, even without restarting Outlook. The product has shortened our daily support many times over and we are happy to be able to continue using it in the future.

Read full review While there are some frustrating things that pop up unexpectedly ("wait... I can't do X?"), I have found HubSpot to be easy to use and extremely helpful to my daily work. The documentation is really good, and when it's not helpful, the support staff have been amazing.
Read full review Reliability and Availability We have not witnessed any downtime so far ...
Read full review They have had issues with system availability over the course of days. Sometimes the system is unusable, other times updates simply take a long time to show up. It's better now but, from a reliaibility standpoint, HubSpot is not Salesforce.com yet. Still great software though.

Read full review With all the new features in HubSpot, the system can get a tad slow sometimes... That said, most of the time it is lightning fast and I have no problems. Because most of the integrations are API, they silently work in the background. I have not had trouble with lag due to HubSpot integration
Read full review Support Rating No problems but we had a couple of questions about functionality or edge use cases and anytime I contacted CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support I was absolutely happy with their responses. Very helpful, polite and smart people are working over at CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 support. I would suggest other companies to take note on CodeTwo Email Signatures 365's quality of support and service.

Read full review In-Person Training I did the 2-day classroom at HubSpot's corporate office in Cambridge. First off, it was amazing to see their corporate office in general. They have such a cool office environment. But it was also great to have the ability to learn in a workshop format with other HubSpot users and meet my Account Manager/ Inbound Marketing Consultant in person.
Read full review Online Training I went through Inbound Marketing University in 2006. Great training and helped my transition from traditional (outbound) marketing to inbound marketing that I've been able to apply to a number of businesses from wastewater and water reuse, to professional services and SaaS. Share information of value to build awareness and trust. Answer customers' questions in a transparent way to generate more qualified leads. Understand the difference between a marketing qualified lead and a sales qualified lead and put together a lead nurturing program. Your sales and marketing efforts will see significant ROI.

Read full review Implementation Rating It is important to make sure Active Directory is correctly populated and that content is standardized, eg telephone number formats.
Read full review My biggest piece of advice for those who are implementing Hubspot is that you need to devote the time up front and learn how to use the product. Once you learn how to use Hubspot, it will be much more effective as well as much easier to use in the long run
Read full review Alternatives Considered When we were moving to the cloud, we first thought that our own on-premise solution would suffice. However it didn't, so we needed something else and fairly quick. We did some Googling to search for several solutions, then our IT partner told us about CodeTwo. We decided to try it and we decided to stay for it is solid and it just works without all the hassle we had with the on-premise solution.
Read full review Other competing software such as Zoho and
Boomtown may have more bells and whistles, but it is too cumbersome and has many parts that only advanced users can operate. With HubSpot, each function is within reach of the average agent. It doesn't overpromise and then makes you feel incompetent when you can't use it all...
Read full review Scalability The product is very reliable :-)
Read full review HubSpot is addressing this more and more. Currently you can assign tasks to designated sales teams, which grow as you grow. They've added free baseline products for those just getting started. These and more contribute to the scalability of HubSpot - so I gave it an 8 and am hoping for more in the future!
