Hubspot is more complex with more functionality, Pipedrive is easier and more straightforward to use.
Chose Pipedrive
Much easier setup and use on basic level.

Chose Pipedrive
Asana is much better for task management and to-do lists. Also, it has a great calendar feature.
Chose Pipedrive
Overall compared to SFDC and other CRM tools Pipedrive stacks up very well when it comes to ease of use and usability. It needs a bit better more robust reporting compared to some of the other tools. But for the cost and value provides I'd rank Pipedrive very highly in …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive has a simpler interface and focuses on sales initiatives rather than digital marketing efforts which is something that our sales team needs. Pipedrive offers a good level of flexibility when it comes to customizations and they are always open to adding new features.

Pipedrive has an excellent UI, email tracking features, and the ability to display contact information and notes about each individual. It allows us to integrate other systems with a high degree of automation, which is crucial to our workflow. Easy to pick up and use, with …

We switched from Microsoft Dynamics to Pipedrive because Pipedrive was more cost effective and gave us more control over the custom fields we could make that applied directly to our company. It also was a much easier software to navigate and the sales team was using it a lot …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive's integrations are so much better. Pipedrive has a much better user interface, the email tracking functionality is very handy, Pipedrive has a better interface in displaying people's contact details and our notes on them, and most importantly, Pipedrive allows us to …
Chose Pipedrive
It is easier to use and more specific. I think HubSpot has a lot and can be overwhelming or confusing at the start. It is cheaper, and the automation is easier to configure. I think it is a better option to start with Pipedrive software. Try it and check for yourself.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is less complex and far more affordable. It is missing some of the marketing tools (email marketing, adspend tracking, etc.) But for a small team this tool is far superior. It cuts out the fluff and focuses on helping you manage a pipeline. And the cost is a million …
Chose Pipedrive
Better integrations, dashboards, reporting, and tasks
Chose Pipedrive
The difference between this CMR software and similar ones is that Pipedrive is much more complete in terms of features that can be exercised in different job roles such as consulting, human resources management and marketing.

Pipeline Deals - prior to Pipedrive we tested Pipeline Deals. these two products are similar as in they are made for small/mid-sized businesses. We felt that Pipedrive was more intuitive and easier for our companies needs. The deal tracking was a real decision-maker for us. …
Chose Pipedrive
I much prefer the interface of Pipedive when compared to Zoho. Much more user friendly and the team is always readily available when we need them. Pipedrive allowed for many custom integrations to be added, as Zoho was a tad more complicated to manipulate. We would not go back …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is much more intuitive, fast, easy to understand and to keep tracking, BUT, it's not as customizable, as good for marketing automation, it doesn't use AI. Salesforce was the most customizable CRM I ever used, that was amazing, we could adapt to every business, but the …
Chose Pipedrive
I have not used products similar to Pipedrive.
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive stands ahead of SugarCRM in its ease of use, its simplicity and zero overhead information that is not needed in order to manage your leads. Pipedrive is our preferred tool since it has everything you would really need is a pretty simple, clean, and easy to use and …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive was being used by a sister company and recommended. Not sure how a one on one trial would go. I like Outlook for email and Pipedrive is weak when synching with Outlook
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is extremely lightweight, but extremely powerful as you get deeper into it. My 61 year old father will use it, when he won't even use email on desktop. Pipedrive is inexpensive and easy to adopt. It's also easy to adapt, adding custom fields, deal stages, and other …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is extremely simple with the pipeline management, but more time-consuming than necessary for even simpler tasks like browsing through contacts or organizations, and especially making changes to those contacts or organizations. If they were able to make it so that you …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive is nowhere near as capable as Salesforce, but it's also much easier to manage. I think of Pipedrive as a simple version CRM that is good for managing inbound lead's interests in an organized way. When you have a larger sales structure with different components and …
Chose Pipedrive
Pipedrive was the best option for our company because the price is right for a small company! Before Pipedrive, we were just tracking sales in excel spreadsheets, and Pipedrive I believe is the next best step if you want to graduate from spreadsheets, but not take your company …

Likelihood to Recommend
I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from Marketo or Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes.

Pros
  • Lead / customer tracking
  • Automated emails
  • Automations
Read full review
  • Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
  • The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
  • The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

Cons
  • Landing pages
  • Livechat feature
  • Lead/customer integration
Read full review
  • Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
  • Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
  • Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

Usability
EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for!

Support Rating
Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.

Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with Pardot. EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.

Return on Investment
  • Improved lead management and helped build lead data by 4-5x in size
  • Helped improve investor base with 100-150% growth in investors by year 1
  • Generated dozens of calendar invites to call potential investors in first year
Read full review
  • Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
  • We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
  • Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
