I prefer HubSpot infinitely better. I had no say in the change from Salesforce to HubSpot, but I am thankful we made it. Easier to drill down on our data, able to run eMarketing and social media campaigns from HubSpot, and better reports and dashboards in HubSpot...these are …

Chose HubSpot CRM
Depending on the client and what I am doing, determine whether I recommend Hubspot or ActiveCampaign. ActiveCampaign has very similar Customer Experience Automation at a fraction of the cost. The UX isn't as good and it doesn't log emails per contact (only on deals), but it is …

Zendesk support is really good helpdesk software.

HubSpot CRM is better at tracking interactions with a potential customer.

ZyWave provides valuable insight into specifics on the insurance industry, but it doesn't manage contacts, emails, or anything like HubSpot does. ZyWave is more of a directory and not editable, whereas HubSpot comes empty. You populate it with your contacts and companies. …
Chose HubSpot CRM
Sage CRM I found easier to use and less useful since I want to align marketing with sales, and Sage CRM is not great at marketing. We ended up using Hubspot because of that, but Sage CRM was easier to adopt. (And Hubspot CRM was not available at the time).
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot was a better option for us based on pricing and capabilities. We needed a more marketing-focused CRM and HubSpot has allowed us to do just that. HubSpot has all of the options we need to increase our business and has been a solid ROI thus far after three years of using …
Chose HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM can pretty much match up with Salesforce. However there are more integration features with Salesforce versus HubSpot CRM. It does not mean, however, that HubSpot CRM is not as versatile as Salesforce. What I'm trying to say is that Salesforce is more robust. Yet …

VTiger is limited in many ways, HubSpot CRM has all on the features but you may have to pay for some.

We started using monday.com in response to our problem with failing link integration on social posting. I love the features of HubSpot CRM for social posting in particular and email marketing so it's just a shame the links don't work. I enjoy combining HubSpot CRM and monday.com

I have not particularly evaluated CRM's but my team did and I believe they chose HubSpot because it was better than the others

Chose HubSpot CRM
We switched from Salesforce to Hubspot in 2020, but I was not a frequent user of Salesforce at the time our company used it. We made the switch to Hubspot to save money.

Salesforce is a very powerful CRM as well, a lot more expensive and has many capabilities. For our team, not necessary to have all those features at such a high cost. Hubspot provides everything we need at a much better pricepoint. Layout and ease of use is better with …

Honestly, except for EnterpriseOne, I used these other products too long ago to compare. EnterpriseOne has a lot of capability but it is much more difficult to utilize their tools.

Salesforce is better, but was originally more expensive. At this point the cost is equal. Agile and zendesk were not robust enough.

HubSpot is user friendly, great overview and doesn't crash. Much better overall.

HubSpot
I can't really think of any scenarios or anything where HubSpot is is not appropriate but some areas that HubSpot is well suited like I previously stated is definitely the social media scheduling. Prior to HubSpot I would have to log on to each social account and upload status', images, videos separately and set posting times live whereas now I have control of all of our social channels and can schedule out posts for our most optimal posting days and hours. I also really love the automated workflows, it feels like I don't have to do anything and the CRM is making updates and sending things out to prospects/clients to our liking 24/7 whenever it is most appropriate. It's also really well suited for data tracking whether its my marketing team benefiting or our sales team and managers able to track calls. I know the sales team loves how well organized and grouped their lists and contacts are as it makes it easier for them to communicate within their general sector of the business

Pros
HubSpot
  • Personalized email campaigns: It helps to create highly effective personalized emails with its wonderful content tokens.
  • Scheduling of meetings: It eliminates the bottlenecks in the process of meeting schedule with its amazing integrating capabilities with other calendar tools like Google calendar. It also ensures the automatic reminders of meetings to the participants of meeting.
  • Automation for follow-up : With its feature called "sequences", follow-up emails made easy.

Cons
HubSpot
  • A lot of my companies have one URL for a ton of branches and each branch has their own name and location so I have to manually enter all the information because they all have the same URL so I can't easily use an Excel file to import those contacts so a faster solution to this would be appreciated
  • Making Corporate and branch associations is very tedious, it would be nice if the companies that all share the same url would automatically associate with the corporate company so I didn't have to manually do it
  • I would like to not see all the extra feature tabs in my layout because I am not using them so it would be nice to be able to turn them off (even the ones that are in my plan that I don't use, it would be nice to turn them off)

To be honest there are some barriers due to which we are unable to use Hubspot at it's full potentials. The region that we work in has some restrictions that don't allow us to make calls or text which leaves us to just Email to the client.

Usability
HubSpot
It is a very intuitive tool that can be used without much training or preparation. You can easily search for what you want and quickly check the information of interest. The system works without any problems; there are no crashes or glitches that could affect daily work. Compared to the systems I've worked on, this one appealed to me the most.

HubSpot
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

HubSpot is different as it allows us to see all deals as we wanted to compare to others as other apps don't have those features Hubspot has to view deals in different views and make it according to your pipelines the way you want to see the deals and data track the daily reports very easily and review our own performance for the day to grow more.

HubSpot
  • HubSpot is great for tracking deals - we use the deal pipeline to understand the part of the lifecycle that each and every deal is currently in. It also provides good historical information.
  • The contacts section is great for storing and managing engaged users for our mailing list. We utilise this feature with the free version.
  • The customisable dashboard is a great feature that enables you to keep the most important information on the home screen at log-in
