HubSpot CRM vs. Tour de Force 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.

Tour de Force can be very useful if you have someone on staff to configure and set it up. It needs constant upkeep with changes in what's needed, and constant updates. This would not be good for small businesses that do not have a sales teem. They charge heavily for tech support.

• 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.

• We can quickly see Customers sales for the week, month, year, and past years.
• We can get deep into the data of a customers sales history and what they are or aren't buying.

• 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)

Incentivized

• There's too much data, and sales people have trouble finding what they need.
• It can be hard for IT or sales manager to manage all the data in an informational way.

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

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

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.

Tour de Force was less expensive than Sales Force, and has more abilities that Epicor CRM.

• 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

• Better customer visibility.
• We have better customer rating for finding top and bottom customers based on orders.
