HubSpot's CMS Hub aims to enable developers to build using flexible themes and content structures, marketers to edit and create pages on their own, and to present customers with a personalized, secure experience.
If you want all your marketing activities to be in one place, where your CRM and customer data exist, go for Hubspot's entire suite, which could include CMS, depending on your needs. If you have to create a company blog, marketing landing pages for events or lead generation, or send decently designed newsletters, Hubspot does the job well. Any company that has grown to enterprise level or has fragmented marketing should probably not use Hubspot CMS because of the fragmented activities that might occur. Hubspot's reporting can also break. Also, if you want your designed pages to be very creative with many animations, Hubspot CMS is probably not the way to go. But for anyone who is still finding their footing, go for it.
The load time of the builder could be faster. On some websites it takes a long time to load, and may crash the page. (I believe they've said they're working on this stability issue.)
Warnings on updates if they're difficult for some sites to run. I have one website that has crashed more than once from Divi's theme updates. I always back it up before the update so I restore the site, but this is still a bit of an inconvenience.
Integrated (or more clearly marked) tutorials within the builder. I migrate site maintenance and ownership to clients after the site is complete and some could use refreshers within the builder on what happens where i.e. the difference between a section, row, module.
Although you can integrate it with Google Analytics, there is still a significant difference between what each tells you about [a] number of visitors to a given page, etc.
There's a lot to the program and it's not always intuitive where to go for a feature. Though the help center and academy are good and usually have the answers, having to look things up isn't.
Divi has everything you need to build a great website. And they have prompt support, their support staff is well qualified and they help you quickly solve if you encounter any issue. They also help you with CSS, if you are trying to achieve something that's "non standard" in Divi.
The newer features of Hubspot CMS need a lot of hands-on training, and there is a bit of a learning curve with AI integrations coming everywhere. But in general, Hubspot CMS is actually quite easy to use. Hubspot's product managers have really thought out quite a bit in terms of the pain points and workflows of mid-market companies.
Divi price is superior and the infinite sites feature got me. Thrive was good for me at some point, but they got stuck in their layout options. Even i liked the Thrive form builder, in general Divi gave me more options to build my websites and build my landing pages. If they work on their interaction with other apps like Mailchimp or Hubspot, for example, or make the tool even more intuitive, i would give them 10 in everything.
We have about 10 seats that were needed. Wanted a sales platform that had good status and reputation. HubSpot was the best choice for me given Salesforce not being the best in the past. Price was appealing and our team liked the overlay. Other options do not provide the same ability with data
It has allowed us to grow our web design business. Today we have an entire independent team that's focused on design and delivery. Production has gone up 40% and and revenue has increased.
Hubspot was where we hosted our landing pages for our first couple of events, so anything that we got out of it was partly because of it. So, the event itself was successful. but shipping faster is where Hubspot came in handy so that we could focus on other marketing activities. We have easily had 1500+ attendees just because we were able to ship our pages faster.
Our newsletter ran on Hubspot CMS for the longest time, and it had an open rate of >28%, which was pretty great.
Our time to take our webpages live or design monthly newsletter was easily cut 70% just because of existing templates that we could just duplicate and change content.
