Considered Both Products
HubSpot Sales Hub
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
No other product holds a candle to what HubSpot Sales Hub can do. The usability, feature support, adaptability, scalability, and expandability; no compare.

Other solutions are either too specialized, or too out-dated.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub is much more user friendly and easier to get teams up and running on compared to Salesforce. It doesn't take as much up front effort to configure your unique process, and is easier to scale and grow into overtime.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub is definitely a step up, but Constant Contact was fine to get started. We just needed more features, so it was time to make the move. HubSpot Sales Hub also was helpful to have better control / visibility over our sales process, less "shooting from the hip."
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
We chose HubSpot Sales Hub because of its overall ecosystem and we wanted a customer data platform that's all integrated into one centralized space. We really liked the custom fields and its user ratings and place in the magic quadrant. HubSpot Sales Hub has been a very good …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I think HubSpot Sales Hub stacks up against Salesforce because HubSpot Sales Hub is much simpler to use. HubSpot Sales Hub is better for keeping track of lead information because it is easier to see everything in one place. HubSpot Sales Hub also keeps track of where leads are …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
To be honest, there are great features in all of these competitors but they aren't quite as user-friendly or robust compared to Hubspot.

Hubspot's Sales hub was able to add more features to it's platform while remaining very user-friendly and easy to use. I found myself getting …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
We started using SalesHub and Engage at the same time - to date my team has only ran 1 sequence out of Engage because the efficiencies in SalesHub are so much greater!
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub lets us access companies, contacts, leads, and opportunities. It is user-friendly and sends push notifications when someone opens or clicks on our emails. We can track customer communications,
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I like HS better due to less complications and noise about infinite use case scenarios.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I did not select HubSpot. This is the software chosen by my executive team. It is running fine and there aren't too many issues within the software. I'd love to have a better interface to read call histories and more transparent/automated connections between deals, calls and …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I have used the listed products above for my day to day in other jobs that were not sales but I did constantly struggle with these tools (at least initially), the learning curve on HubSpot is not steep and it can still be very powerful in terms of customization. I always tell …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot is more user friendly for tech-aversive team members
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
The main things that I like about HubSpot Sales Hub compared to Zoho are the ability to organize the tasks that I have for the day, and the ability to create sequences. When I used Zoho for 1 year, I wasn't able to find those capabilities. The organized tasks and sequences was …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I have previous experience using Close. The email sequences did not include options for adding tasks such as 'call' or LI outreach, thus, the workflow wasn't as organized. Close did have better smart views or options for grouping clients. The number of leads I was working with …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
The HubSpot Sales Hub is way more sales and growth-oriented than previous CRMs I've dealt with in the past just by browsing through the features you have along with how they are laid out throughout the CRM, you can tell it will help you get the desired growth and manage it …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
I didn't choose, the company wanted me to work on this software. Easy to learn, that's what I like about it.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub is easier to get to the data that is important. It also has easy-to-see graphics, to sum up your day as far as "did you reach your daily goal."
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
Great user experience, easy-to-manage customizations, all the other great reasons previously stated, AND most of all, the helpful, friendly sales and support team that we have worked with over the years. Their front-line support is so very good. And the sales process/sales …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub has a better UI and broader functionality ClientTether has texting integration which is awesome but is too specialized for the entire business to use.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub is much easier to use than other solutions, but it is also the most comprehensive CRM I have used to date.
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
Way easier to use, more features, email sequencing and meeting booking, much more built for the seller and to help progress the deal
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
HubSpot Sales Hub helps our team keep track of all of our partners and customers in one place so we can market effectively and personally. Their blogs and "HubSpot academy" make it easy to
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
They are both very similar and, honestly, the top two of their respected offerings. I would feel comfortable recommending either with the slight edge to HubSpot Sales Hub. The biggest reason why, and what matters so much to people, is the service. I’ve always experienced great …
Chose HubSpot Sales Hub
Better than most. Easier to use!! Recommended to help any business!!
SMARTe Data Platform
Chose SMARTe Data Platform
We use them to compliment each other, there are areas that Clearbit provides matches that SMARTe does not and visa versa. This applies at both a contact and an account level.

Where SMARTe really stands out (for me) is the ability to classify any provided Job Title. This really …
Chose SMARTe Data Platform
Very similar, probably Lusha has a bigger database atm. But for the same contacts SMARTe has more details.
So for a deep unlock I tend to prefer SMARTe over Lusha.
Experience with Lusha was very short, especially because SMARTe deals better with GDPR obligations, so easier to use …

HubSpot Sales HubSMARTe Data Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
Sales hub is an excellent tool for a sales professional, probably even the best tool available in the industry without a doubt. However it could be much less convenient for outside sales reps that need to consistently meet people in person, it has some features to cater to these reps but they aren't as robust as the ones designed for inside sales reps.

SMARTe offers multiple ways to support the prospecting activity, I tend to use the Chrome Extension to unlock contact details from LinkedIn Sales Nav. Given the difficulty in finding this information working in Europe, I have to admit that the tool does his job perfectly. Only thing that could be developed is ability to find details from smaller companies. Sometimes they are (and I understand why) difficult to find.

Cons
  • I find the interface to be a bit unorganized and sometimes the information added about projects looks clogged which sometimes makes it difficult to access specific information.
  • Sometimes we have to deal with different currencies because we have clients all over the world but the exchange rate tool is not always accurate, causing us to slow down our work.

HubSpot sales has allowed all of our teams company-wide to communicate and keep all of our information secure and organized. We are able to save time and money by using this platform, and we could not imagine turning back to the way things used to be done. We are so thankful for HubSpot Sales!

Usability
Since we launched HubSpot Sales Hub into our organisation's tech stack, we've experienced a smooth transition and implementation process for those using this solution. The ease of use and the interface experience is amazing and that was a main priority for us in the purchasing phase. So far, we've been nothing but very happy with the support, implementation, and ongoing development of our sales team adapting to the solution. Highly recommend it for usability and functionality!

Support Rating
Usually pretty responsible and friendly and have had my questions circled back on. However, they haven't been able to answer several of the more in-depth questions I have had, but those questions may have been way too nuanced and specific so I would give the benefit of the doubt.

It was not only SUPER easy to implement, we had some amazing support from HubSpot. They scheduled a call to go over each individual tool with our team and provided guidance and best practices plus answered any questions are new users had. It was wonderful and really helped them get started confidently

We use them to compliment each other, there are areas that Clearbit provides matches that SMARTe does not and visa versa. This applies at both a contact and an account level. Where SMARTe really stands out (for me) is the ability to classify any provided Job Title. This really has dramatic impact to our processes. Clearbit does have a native integration that offers data refresh.

Return on Investment
  • HubSpot Sales Hub made my day more organized and productive, allowing me to make 100 phone calls a day at the same time that it took me to make 20 phone calls a day.
  • I am able to create a custom quote for a client in less than 5 minutes with the plug and play capabilities.
  • HubSpot Sales Hub tells me what I need to do for the day so that I don't have to think about it.
