HubSpot CRM

Hubspot is well suited for medium-large organizations with specific and more elaborate needs but can also be implemented in SMEs with some more basic needs due to the fact that it is fully modifiable. The fact that it is accessed from all devices at any point in time, with just an internet connection, and information is readily available and NOT asynchronous as with standard ERPs is a competitive edge for HubSpot, which is based from scratch on the cloud. The simplicity of the workflow, the ease of use, the degree of personalization, and the timeliness of tasks executed are unequivocally contributing to increased efficacy of the team and more sales at the end of the day!

Nutshell

This can be used for different industries, healthcare, IT, retail or any company with a customer service line, big or small. if i had to ask, i would say "Do you have any type of filing system that you use?" "anything where you are keeping track of personal/ business information." Do you need access to information on a day to day basis?If they do , then this can be used , especially if you need to keep track of the numbers; we like how we can see if are things going up or down.

Nutshell

  • Customization - we are able to make Nutshell make the most sense for our company and processes
  • Scheduling - the ability to set tasks allows us to never forget a follow-up call or email
  • Tags - allow us to prioritize leads and segment our customers and potential customers
  • Communication - the ability to tag colleagues in notes for callbacks or updates to accounts is very helpful to keep everyone on the same page
  • Email History - being able to blind copy all our email communication to Nutshell, allows us to have email threads and notes all in one place

Cons

HubSpot CRM

  • 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.

Nutshell

  • SWOT analysis --- currently we put this in as custom fields but they don't link up at all and are hard to read/navigate. We also use the custom fields for other information we want to capture. It would be nice to build those in so they can show the info as bullet points or something --- currently paragraph form and hard to find things at a glance.
  • Funnel could use some work. Only shows how many leads are currently in that part of the pipeline which doesn't give us a good historical comparison.

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.

This is perfect for a small business / Home based business with SaaS. Nutshell constantly adds new features and the price is much better than more robust software like Salesforce.

Usability

HubSpot CRM

HubSpot CRM 8.8
Based on 656 answers
I find HubSpot very easy to use. I can customize fields, etc. I find it to be much more user-friendly than Salesforce or other CRM tools. My day is organized around HubSpot - all my emails are sent via a HubSpot sequence, I can interrupt that sequence and all of my phone calls are tracked as well. All emails I send through Outlook are synched with HubSpot, all the proposals I send are created and sent through HubSpot, and every deal I close is then tracked through HubSpot and I can run any kind of report imaginable for me or my sales team as a whole.

I love the HubSpot support team - they have always been fantastic to work with and extremely helpful. Whether it's via chat or an email, I never wait long for a response and they don't just "answer the question." They dig deep with you when figuring out a solution, and make sure to give you all the information you need to ensure you're ready to go.

Alternatives Considered

HubSpot CRM

As noted before, Salesforce is a great tool if you can afford it and have someone who is training on Salesforce on how to use and keep it updated. It is a full-time job to have someone just keep Salesforce working and up to date. Hubspot, you don't need that same level of human capital to run it. It is a more decentralized operation and only needs an administrator for some basic admin. functions.

Nutshell

Well, my team had trials for these others and they all prefer Nutshell for different reasons. I prefer it as I need a user-friendly software to help me out as I am not a big tech guy. I have heard others in the office say things like they like the way activities are scheduled better, or the way nothing ever gets accidentally erased if they hard crash or power goes out.

Nutshell

  • Nutshell's mobility has provided significant ROI for me since we've started using the CRM. I've been able to provide immediate feedback to clients, schedule meetings from the field with confidence, and much more.
  • Nutshell's tagging features have helped us craft custom mailing/email lists. We struggled to do this in the past.
