Hiver vs HubSpot CRM

Any work environment where more than one team member is able to address certain customer requests. We used to use Groups, but then it was confusing as to whether or not someone responded, and we needed more transparency between team members. Another example is a person emailing with a billing question. We used to reply and add the billing department's email address or forward the email to billing, but with Hiver, simply assigning it to the billing HIVER Inbox allows anyone to reply directly to the customer without the issue of either the customer or team member remembering to reply all or accidentally replying only to the team member forwarding the email.

It's definitely easier to use than Salesforce. It's especially great for us in the SMB market. In my opinion, it would be nice if we were able to call out to international prospects and text them as well. The SalesMessage plugin doesn't allow for that.

• It's easy to set up, and manage ongoing.
• The customer service and support is amazing- I get check ins, quick responses to enquiries and extras from time to time.
• It knows what it's doing- it's here to take the issue of gmail not being the best when it comes to shared inboxes and it has provided the perfect solution!

• The sales funnel is one of my favorites in the entire industry.
• Their task managing system truly helps Account Executives be on top of every lead and opportunity without dropping the ball.
• The data tracking for KPI truly helps our team set goals and improve weekly.
• The e-mail sequences are top tier as well.

• There is currently no way to create a support ticket unless related to an email already received. It would be extremely beneficial to be able to take a call and create a support ticket within HIVER based on the call in the same manner that we can create a ticket from an inbound email.

• Price Point: Pricey Expense for Company.
• A lot of new features are being rolled out, but intuitive additions always take 1-3 years to add on. I Recently added rescheduling/cancel to Meetings, but contacts are unable to optionally provide why they canceled/rescheduled.

Because it's integrated with HubSpot marketing platform, which is indispensable, and works simply and seamlessly with the marketing platform. The CRM is intuitive, never a time burden, and makes doing business development work a whole lot easier and enjoyable. I think at this point it's safe and fair to say we would be somewhat lost without the CRM.

Easy to use

HubSpot functions great and has never had any issues. Support is great and is always ready to help solve any problems or questions you have. We love to create workflows for processes and manage new leads, which makes our life so much easier!

Support is there, can be slow at times.

Because when I needed help HubSpot responded immediately and provided me with the information I needed which enabled me to realize that HubSpot was even more customizable and easier to use than I thought! And I already thought HubSpot was very user friendly and easy to use, and then Support showed me how to manipulate the settings, columns and the appearance of the tool.

If you've had any prior experience with cloud based marketing automation or group communication tools, you can do the implementation without paid outside support. Though getting to a SLA (service level agreement) would be best achieved with the help of a third party who can facilitate

Hiver was the only option we looked at. There didn't appear to be many alternatives in the market

I have to admit that I prefer Salesloft, but I do think HS can be better. SL is very simple and gives me everything I need. However, in the future, I would definitely lean toward HS as it has more capabilities. I just need the integration and onboarding to be more seamless before I commit long-term.

• Hiver has increased the efficiency by which we address emailed questions and concerns.
• Hiver increases transparency between team members.
• Information pertinent to one or more team members is searchable by all applicable team members making it easier to research a situation that otherwise could have been stored in details across separate member email histories.

• HubSpot has allowed us to Sunset our internal CRM which was running at a great time and opportunity cost for our dev team.
• HubSpot brought our two distinct sales teams together onto common performance & activity metrics.
• HubSpot reports have replaced our former self-written shareholder sales reports, now being sent.
