HubSpot CRM vs. Pipefy

Most of our clients are either government institutions or Education sector clients, such as universities, colleges, Coaching Institutes, and Competitive boards. We store their data in a single place. That means we can keep our one client's data in one place without any confusion. Our data is always clear and understandable while it is in HubSpot CRM.

Pipefy is very well suited if you have a team doing any sort of process... for real! It simplified everything from our sales and marketing objectives/processes, to our onboarding and accounting side of things. Since you can share different pipes with others, it's easy to see where others are at in the process and move the card along while keeping others informed. It makes sure you don't miss any information or steps along the way, which is great if your process is detail-oriented. It is a little less appropriate for marketing efforts, but we still try to use it to keep track of things in a central space. Definitely best suited for sales, technical things, and accounting.

• Timeline view and conversation log is extremely helpful and an underrated feature; this is in addition to the entire user profile view.
• Task management is simple but effective.
• Deal and company tracking with stakeholder management inside companies / deals is very handy; we know what is happening even though we might not be directly working on it.
• Gmail integration is quite smooth along with email tracking.

• Flexibility on process management.
• Internal automations and connections to different data bases and boards.
• Easily connection with external programs through API's.

• More of an integration issue I think than a problem with HubSpot CRM, but we have AirCall integrated for direct phone lines and synching with individual users for outbound calls. Opening Aircall to make an outbound call automatically generates a new client - unattached to a company record as an orphan.
• Historical records with activities is awesome but when creating a deal it isn't always a choice to capture last 30 days of history. When it is an option and you click to add that to a deal you can see all the activity items and people who have done anything with the "file".
• I would like to see more native options for automation.

• I would like to be able to add a due date without a time attached.
• I would like to see completed tasks be deleted after a set amount of time.

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.

It's designed to get started quickly. The basic level of features and functions is elementary to use. It's highly adaptable to your organization's needs and how you want to utilize the CRM. It can be easily accessed via the web and mobile, and has been seamlessly integrated into other tools we use outside of 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.

Pipefy support is pretty good. There were a few instances where the agent didn't really understand what I was trying to get help with, but that was only once. Every other time it has been pretty fast and efficient. They are also very kind and understanding. I don't think they need much help in that dept

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

Comparing all the CRMs, HubSpot has excellent third-party integration tools that can get you integrated with any native app within seconds and let you sync all the data instantly. The deal pipeline is well synchronized to help you prioritize deals and send contracts to win the deal and bring in business. I didn't find this in any other CRMs, and it's a very important factor for any startup to thrive.

We started using software we already had (such as Slack and Sheets) but this software is not actually ideal to manage processes, which led to errors, miscommunication, and execution problems. Trello is good for managing demand but offers no process customization or approval and Jira is too focused on development for our needs, and also hard to customize.

• Tough to measure specifically, but time gained by having contacts available at-a-glance
• Approximately 12% increase in Sales team following up on quotes, leading to a 4-7% increase in positive outcomes from conversations with customers (negotiations whereas they may have been lost previously with no post-quote contact)

Incentivized

• Our processes are more organized and we are not missing any steps.
• We are able to touch base with customers easier since we have all potential/missed clients in one pipe, with automated alerts (i.e. it has been 60 days since contact with this customer).
• We are able to keep track of customer billing changes easier.
