HubSpot CRM vs. Odoo CRM

I have used HubSpot CRM to help grow and scale companies which range in size from SMB businesses owned by one person up through enterprise companies doing hundreds of millions in revenue. There are not any use cases where HubSpot CRM has not been able to suit the needs for what we've needed from it.

We are not a huge company so it's great for the relatively basic requriements we have for storing customer data and logging conversations. I haven't delved too deep inot opportunity tracking but the little I looked didn't seem quite as strong as a tool like Salesforce which I used previously

• 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.

• Upload, manage contacts for sales team
• Create pipelines for team
• Export and import leads

• 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)

• It would be great to have a custom dashboard with editable graphs and reporting
• The quotation PDF is limited in how it can be changed and I'd prefer using our own custom design rather than the odoo defaults

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.

I give it this rating because when I first joined the team here I had never used HubSpot before. Within a week I was up to speed on the CRM and knew pretty much how to use it based on its user friendliness. The different tabs on the side and organization of the site did not make me anxious when I first started which is hard to say for most CRM platforms because their can be A LOT going on on but, HubSpot has been my favorite CRM thus far and being in marketing the last 7, going on 8 years now I have worked with PLENTY of CRM's

The technical glitch and delay in opening and going to next lead is the major reason for not continuing with odoo. We faced few lead mismatch between source and CRM count also. The interface and features of Odoo is perfectly well and useful when it comes to process leads and do regular follow up

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.

This was a bit of a sticking point, we find the support can be lacking and generally its recommended to spurchase a support pack of hours in order to benefit from full support. We have subsequently gone on to do a lot of the implementation and training by ourselves following lots of trial and error so although things are working now, it was initialy a bumpy road implementing!

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

I have used two other CRM systems; they were in-house at my company, so I can't search for them in the list. Previous CRM systems ran very sluggishly, lacking many features such as transactions. Very often, they did not add sent emails or added them incorrectly. Adding contacts was unintuitive and had a lot of mandatory fields that had to be filled in manually, as this system did not download data online. There was no option to search if a lead existed; there was a function that theoretically should have notified of a duplicate, but only after the entire long list was filled out.

Odoo was referred by one of my friends and interface was attractive with all these pipelines, filters, etc

We were able to filter leads super precisely and project as per our vision. The notes and reminders are useful. Odoo Congress with inbuilt calender option from where you can create events and share with the team or the respective prospects

• We can raise the tickets easily from HubSpot only. There is no confusion about that.
• There is difficulty raising tickets from Hubspot as once it is resolved, we will not be able to check again on the deal overview that needs to be solved.
• HubSpot is very good compared to Salesforce and Zoho, as I have worked on all 3 till now.

Incentivized

• We've 10x'ed our turnover since implementing Odoo
• We have trackable quotations across the team so we can all access eah others quotes when people are away
