I'd recommend HubSpot Service Hub for sure. When switching from a different platform to HubSpot Service Hub orgs and admins can count with a vast number of trainings in HubSpot Academy and most of them are free. This means users will find the resources they need without needing to reach for their superiors for training sessions or guidance.

  • We've had some issues setting up the Client Portal functionality because we merged with another company and are still operating under two domains; Setting up the Client Portal could be easier or they could provide better support to help us work through it
  • We've been able to do everything we need to do with HubSpot Service Hub

I'd give it a 9 or 10 for the survey functionality because that is what we use regularly. I left it at an eight because we don't yet have experience with some of the other functionalities within the ServiceHub. Based on our demos, the ticketing system and the ChatBot are great, and we look forward to adding them soon.

HubSpot [Service Hub] had many integrations we needed to connect to our CRM, and the cost was just right from them VS the others. We had to look at all the features, and HubSpot CRM just had way more than the others and more bang for your buck. So the Service Hub was just a bonus with their CRM tools.

  • Easy to keep track of leads and track their journey into becoming a customer. For example, we can tell which leads open what emails and target people differently to help increase sales.
  • Even though HubSpot Service Hub is very expensive, I do think it is worth the price because we can keep track of all leads/ customers very easy, track the customer journey, rework emails with AI, etc.
  • HubSpot Service Hub also has reporting so you can track everything which helps to improve our sales
