HubSpot CRM is used in our organization to manage 1. Deals 2. Lead Flow 3. Support Tickets 4. Marketing efforts. All organizations utilize the CRM. Our goals for leveraging a CRM is to keep contacts, companies and deals in order. Managing multiple sales motions from various groups and implementations: sales, customer success, implementation and tech support.
- Easy to use deal interface. Drag and drop. This is an easier way to manage a deal pipeline.
- Automation. Different stages on implementation or opportunity can trigger different actions. This helps take some of the manual efforts out of the picture.
- Reporting is difficult to use. This makes it difficult to understand opportunity deal flow.
- Customization is lacking. Implementation would like to add custom fields and tracking metrics for hours. This is difficult to track.
We use HubSpot CRM and integrate it with our email. We can track email opens in real-time, responses, and auto-add new contacts to the CRM. We’re also able to revisit each of the contacts and see a timeline of all communication with that specific contact. We use HubSpot CRM across the entire organization.
- Track emails.
- Manage contacts.
- Integrating one account with multiple emails.
- Personal traits notes section in CRM.

A helpful tool for businesses with customers
At Hummel and Plum, we're using HubSpot to keep track of our sales, customers, and the interactions we have with them.
We use HubSpot to keep tabs on the connections we have with our customers so we can ensure the highest level of customer service. Right now our office is the only one using HubSpot as we're in a testing period to see if it is what we'd like to use.

- Increased awareness of customer interactions
- Higher follow-up rate
- I LOVE THE TEMPLATES FOR EMAILS
- took some time to get familiar with how to use
- without paying for some of the additional tools there is limited functionality

My Lookout For An Alternative CRM To HubSpot Has Invariably Been Futile. It's That Good.
HubSpot is used by our marketing and sales (both sales development and on-ground sales) team. It doesn't solve a problem per se but is an integral part of the whole process. We use HubSpot mainly to attack leads that are generated through various marketing channels like SEO, AdWords, Email, Landing Page and etc.
- Its beautiful and intuitive interface inspires productivity. As soon as I open a lead, I get all the relevant details in a structured manner which helps me with my pitch when I call them.
- Its calling feature is really helpful. All I have to do is click the call button and get a call on my phone, which automatically connects me with the lead. Here, the leads get to see my phone number and not a non-personal company number. Also, while calling, you can take notes, which is really helpful! If you want to recall a conversation with a lead, instead of listening to the whole audio call, you can just go through the notes.
- Its email templates save a lot of time. If a lead doesn't pick up the phone, I immediately send a mail where I let them know that I couldn't connect with them.
- I don't have any gripes about HubSpot. Really! It's just that, when you start to stack up various offerings/modules, the overall price can become a little overwhelming. But, still, no matter how much money HubSpot asks from me, I'll give them the benefit of doubt.

Overall a Good CRM That Gets It DONE!
It integrates with WordPress well across all departments such as marketing, sales, accounting, customer service. The Sales team in particular uses HubSpot CRM to manage contacts, keep track of the status of accounts, and has a customization feature for the sales pipeline. It is easy to navigate through the CRM and export large sets of data. It is always a great way to manage tasks, receive reminders if they are not completed, and is easy to log calls or notes into.
- HubSpot Tasks - you can assign a task to yourself or other teammates and set a reminder if the task is not complete within a certain amount of time.
- Exporting of large data - numbers are important in sales and there are are a various selection of properties it comes with that can easily help organize business contacts, as well as the customization feature
- Sales Dashboard - gives analytics and insights about the teams productivity
- Exporting data - you have to go to options, then choose to export, rather than a clear cut export button
- More integrations with other WordPress plugins
- More customization on the display platform

It is used by the marketing department for marketing automation purposes. We handle a lot of things, including email marketing, customer journey tracking, and much more. It has great customer support and we are beginning to get the hang of it now that we have been using it for quite a while.
- Good with marketing automation.
- Provide great statistics about email campaigns.
- Has great customer support.
- Make the email designer a bit easier.
- It could make designing workflows a little easier.

The best way to obtain a customer-adaptable CRM.
Currently, HubSpot CRM is used for our area of Sales and Marketing, and I have been satisfied with the latest features obtained and with the pleasant results I have achieved with the help of this great platform. HubSpot CRM has allowed us to have more direct contact with each client or subscription; in this way, we can develop interaction and information sharing that helps us understand what the customer wants or what they are looking for from us. Also, HubSpot CRM allows us to contact customers in various ways, something that has helped us a lot in our company to maintain order and provide immediate customer service.
- HubSpot CRM has an immediate notification system, which helps a lot, since it warns at the exact moment in which the client is trying to get in touch with us.
- HubSpot CRM allows you to contact the customer through video chat, common chat, email, fax, and in many other ways. This helps a lot to offer different ways to contact each person.
- HubSpot CRM is a very inexpensive platform; it offers excellent prices compared to the competition.
- HubSpot CRM has a very inefficient mobile phone application, since this application currently only serves to monitor the status of customer request, but does not allow us to respond to any of its requirements.
- HubSpot CRM should offer a much simpler implementation, since it took me about two months to successfully implement it completely. I would like a simpler implementation that is more adapted to the user.
- A lot of processes must be done to be able to export the data or graphics of results obtained with HubSpot CRM, since this platform only allows us to send this data to a cloud and does not allow us to download it immediately to the computer.

HubSpot CRM helps sales people perform
HubSpot CRM is our primary system of record for all contacts, prospects, and clients. Our sales personnel use it for opportunity management for our full-cycle sale process. Account managers manage all communication and business relationships with existing clients. All employees use the CRM to log activity and access important client information.
- Contact communication is next-level. The ability to originate communication, track engagement and enroll in automation all make it exceptional.
- Activity and performance reporting are exceptional.
- Integration with other key software platforms makes it easy to add capabilities and track those integrated activities on contact/company/deal timelines is fantastic.
- Large team management and reporting are a bit under-built.
- Missing features like the ability to duplicate deals have led us to build custom widgets to fill the gaps.
We use HubSpot CRM to manage our current clients as well as prospective clients. We create lists based on their journey in the buyer's cycle and distribute content and information based on their stage in the journey. It is used across about half of our organization and addresses the problem of organizing our many contacts.
- Able to make and customize lists based on any contact property
- Tracks all communication with contacts
- Goes out and finds information about contacts such as company info and Twitter handle
- Sometimes slow to update contact properties
- Difficult to merge duplicates

Amazing for the lean startup
HubSpot is the central hub for managing all of our customer relationships and deal stages. In essence, it is my second brain! I am in it every day and could not imagine running my business without it!
- Intuitive
- Automatic Domain Contact Info
- Alerts/Reminders
- Marketing
- Customer Service
- Need a phone line to call

Marketing Specialist Honest Review of HubSpot CRM
HubSpot CRM is being used as our main CRM by the entire organization. We send all emails from HubSpot and utilize all of our lists from within the platform. I am in both the marketing and sales department. Both of these departments depend on HubSpot daily - however, all of our departments have access and use it. It addresses our entire marketing department as far as emails sent and within our sales department, we use it for project management.
- Easy to use - I think this CRM is one of the most user-friendly CRMs. It helps to be able to look within the system (and help center) to answer any questions that may arise.
- Project management - we are able to follow through in a timely manner on all of our projects by creating a workflow. This could be a sales workflow or a marketing workflow. Both are exceptionally helpful.
- Statistics - I love that HubSpot gives you real-time stats on any email that you send. This is helpful in securing clients and in getting them information in a timely manner.
- I'm not a huge fan of the way emails are currently created. It gives you two options - the new way or the old way (which I do appreciate and prefer the old way). I think it can be confusing to the user that these are both an option.
- Lists - we often reach our limit here with so many people creating lists. It would be a nice option to have an endless list option?
- Pulling from contacts - since the upgrade I think it is easier to pull lists, however, it's very confusing/vague as to how the system pulls certain qualities. For example, it's not always pulling VP of Finance for me because I can enter it in 100 different ways. I know this is a problem that will not be able to be easily fixed, but possibly making rules on pulling certain titles for lists may help down the road.

Hubspot was not my choice, nor would it be
We use HubSpot across our organization for sales, marketing and customer success to track our prospective and current accounts along with their respective contacts, deals etc. We've lightly implemented workflow, mostly along marketing for tracking of activity and conversion with our website. We recently hired a central administrator who sits in the marketing department.
- Cheap
- Easy to deploy
- Integration with gmail
- Reports and Dashboards lack any ability to customize
- Interface is horrible for sales reps to review account activity, everything gets nested requiring multiple clicks to open threads.
- Reports cannot be scheduled and sent via email.
Currently, we use it in our marketing and sales departments. HubSpot CRM helps us keep our contact data base clean, helps us with emails, landing pages, CTAs and forms, and making processes automated through workflows.
- Helps us keep our contact database clean
- Helps us automate processes through workflows
- Helps us understand analytics through insightful data
- Some functionality within workflows is missing, making things a bit tricky.
- Contact and Company property fields syncing or auto-updating when changed is missing.

Simple to use CRM best suited for inbound marketers
HubSpot is being used across multiple departments but mostly in sales and marketing. HubSpot gives us the ability to store customer and prospect information in one central place. The main business problem it addresses is giving us transparency and visibility into the health of our business. Sales uses it to track and manage deals within the sales process so that our team can accurately forecast month over month expected revenue.
- Ease of use. Having used multiple CRM's in the past including Netsuite and Salesforce, HubSpot takes the cake in terms of ease of use. The learning curve is significantly shorter than other CRM's.
- HubSpot Sales that is integrated within Hubspot is a major plus for me as a sales rep. With it, I can track emails, manage my meetings, and save email templates for quicker prospecting.
- It's an inbound marketing machine. It easily tracks prospects lifetime activity of what content they downloaded, did they visit the site, or request a demo and scores them appropriately so you can see how familiar they are with your company and interest level.
- No particular cons stand out. Reporting is not as granular as Salesforce but HubSpot is great in its own way. It makes things as simple as possible.
Hubspot is being used in many areas today. I personally use the CRM and tools to manage and collect information from potential renters for properties that I manage. I also use it for automated B2B marketing for freelance clients; and am consulting with a manufacturing company to integrate Hubspot for both sales and marketing.
- Create Lead Gen pages with Forms to collect information from your leads
- Create workflows based on triggers to keep your company front of mind to your prospects
- Sales Pro tools are great for managing a list and keeping track of conversations - link it to your email!
- I'm not a fan of the new design tools. The previous version was much more intuitive.
- Managing COMPANY vs. CONTACT is a bit confusing. I've found discussions on this very topic going back 3 years and no solutions have yet been presented.
I selected and drove the implementation and adoption of Hubspot CRM in our digital agency, across the sales and marketing organization, which include the agency C-Levels. As an organization focused on targeting and prospecting into executives within Internet Retailer Top 500 companies, Hubspot was positioned as a tool to enable a more robust method of managing our intake and acquisition pipeline, helping us to incorporate up-to-date reporting and dashboarding to visually illustrate our penetration into the IR500. Other business needs included a seamless migration and deduplication of data from Pipedrive (our legacy tool), and the ability to track and record communications with executives at target organizations.
- Hubspot updates the product quickly and regularly, meaning that savvy users can often expect expanded functionality within a relatively short timeframe.
- General ease of data sync and importing means records can be quickly and easily updated (and deduplicated against existing records) once you have the tips and tricks of formatting down.
- Features like integration with Gmail mean that you can track and capture all conversations with target prospects, informing your activities going forward.
- Dedicated support and implementation are vital when you’re a lean team implementing a product, and Hubspot offers these services.
- Building target lists by location, vertical, and even contact role is easy and fast.
- Mass imports and exports take no time at all, meaning you can update swaths of your contact lists to incorporate new data points or changes.
- HubSpot's built-in Insights provide excellent company-level information, anchored to email domain, providing all sorts of vertical and industry information about target companies.
- The ON or OFF nature of tracking email means that you’re not only capturing conversations with prospects, but with anyone you interact with. This can add redundant or undesirable data to your CRM. It would be nice to be more selective with tracking, or have the ability to customize tracking specific types of interactions.
- Setup and Implementation calls were not extensively planned or organized, meaning we spent much of our time with the specialist going over previously discussed user requirements and troubleshooting, rather than implementing our desired state.
- Features and functionalities like data point anchoring for reporting (which were promised during the sales process), were either incomplete or did not function as expected. Once we entered a formal engagement, it was communicated to us that we could not build some of our desired reports as envisioned and that email tracking would only be possible by manually clicking a checkbox in all outgoing messages. This led to further troubleshooting and requirements gathering, taking away from our bank of allotted hours with our implementation specialist.
- Our client success manager was very helpful and friendly, however, no clear communication channels were established outside the CSM. This meant that we couldn’t always be sure where to properly route requests for setup, feature clarification, etc., as some of those responsibilities were not the CSMs.
- Once our requirements became more clear to the Services team, we were informed that we would need to invest in the more expensive version of Hubspot CRM for Premium features and customization, some of which would not be available until an upcoming release.
- We ended up having to manage most of the data migration ourselves, relying on an intern and internal project management to manually de-duplicate contact and company details from Pipedrive.
- Reporting and dashboard-building on outreach activities was cumbersome, and not intuitive, relying on an axis-system of data points that even our Implementation Specialist struggled with at times.
We use HubSpot's CRM for most of our task management, leads, and marketing tracking in our marketing workflow. HubSpot lets us track our blog and website marketing, create templates/follow-ups for sales, and track all of our leads by stage. It also helps to integrate many of the other HubSpot tools like email support easily into our sales/marketing workflow.
- Super-intuitive - HubSpot's UI is very well-constructed, and was very easy for our team to get used to.
- Cheap - Many of the basic CRM features are in the free or $50/month plans.
- Easy logging and other integrations - HubSpot provides comprehensive tools to track notes, phone calls, attach documents, gain leads, etc... allowing for an all-inclusive sales interface.
- Can get quite expensive - If you are looking more advanced tools, like SEO, strategy, and social media tools, they are included in some of the more expensive plans, which are only billed annually.
- Doesn't integrate into other email tools - If you use a third-party email client there is no ability to track those emails through HubSpot's CRM currently.
- Sometimes slow - The UI can sometimes slow a bit down but this is quite a small con.

We're all spoiled to have a free CRM like Hubspot
We use Hubspot CRM across our company for managing the entire spectrum of our contacts (leads, clients, and our certified coaches). Presently, we sync Hubspot CRM with another marketing automation tool to deploy email nurture campaigns and the email components of our programs for clients, but we will probably bring that all under one roof with Hubspot before too long.
Hubspot CRM does a great job of balancing flexibility (we can structure it how we want and create unlimited custom properties to support that setup) with ease of use (it doesn't take one or more dedicated and trained staff to build our setup and maintain it for us). Since we're a small and growing company, we've been able to easily adapt Hubspot CRM to our needs as our company has changed from a strategic and personnel standpoint.
Hubspot CRM is also the most integration-friendly tool our stack. Since it's so popular, most marketing and product software platforms integrate with it one way or another. It's made it very easy for us to plug in our other tools and build some fun automation, both client-facing and backstage.

- Hubspot CRM is fantastically easy to navigate and use. Having used three other big-name CRM systems, I would say Hubspot has been by far the easiest to set up and use on a regular basis. The list and contact profile views are beautifully designed and intuitive to manipulate as needed.
- Hubspot CRM's Lists functionality is so convenient for segmenting your master contact list in all sorts of ways. I use it anytime I need to find out how many or who from our list fits a narrow set of criteria. Even in past jobs where we had other database tools that we could use, Hubspot was the fastest and easiest to get that information.
- Hubspot makes it easy to import your contact lists from other tools and sources. The migration tool is intuitive and works reliably. I was able to onboard a list of about 500 contacts in less than 10 minutes, including the time it took to diagnose compatibility errors on the first import.
- Integrations are typically a strength of the Hubspot platform, but they still have a long way to go in the e-commerce category. Unless you're using one of the most popular e-commerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, or Magento, you're going to have a lot of custom dev work on your hands. Would love to see more integrations in this area in order to add e-commerce sales revenue data to other offline purchases that get logged by sales reps.

A guided marketing and sales solution
HubSpot ties sales and marketing together to make all of our flows run easily. It is great for managing our workflows. It has been great not only for marketing but for sales to be able to schedule meetings and track where we are at in the sales process with each client.
- Easy to use workflows
- Easy to read dashboards and reports for pipline
- Great for scheduling meetings and creating phone ques for sales team
- ROI for smaller clients
- If using light version some creative workarounds need to be put in place
- Can seem more expensive than other alternatives

Best CRM for getting started with your business!
HubSpot is being used for sales prospecting and managing our sales pipeline. It allows us to keep track of the customers we've already reached out to so we know what interactions we've had with them as well as visualize how full our pipeline is and who we need to follow up with.
- Easy to learn/use
- It's free!
- Has everything you'd expect from a free CRM and is the best free CRM for getting started as you figure out what needs you have in your processes that I've seen
- Lots of trainings on how to use the software
- It can sometimes be difficult to navigate and figure out where you are when you're first learning the software, but any CRM with a lot of features will have that challenge
- It could definitely use more sophisticated de-duping options

If your company is serious about sales and marketing, HubSpot CRM is what you need!
My organization is currently utilizing HubSpot to drive our marketing department. It's very helpful for the sales department, too, but we are primarily using it for its fantastic marketing features. It addresses a problem we've faced for years: how to manage all of our marketing (social media, email, landing pages, blog, etc.) in a single location. HubSpot is the ultimate tool to meet this need.
- HubSpot's customer service is absolutely top-notch. The CRM can be very confusing and tricky to navigate if you're untrained. When I first started with it, I was extremely overwhelmed. Luckily, HubSpot provides an on-boarding manager for your team to help you train on the tool and get familiar with how it works. After an introductory period, you're then passed to an account manager who you have regular check-ins with to make sure your team is getting all their questions answered, getting tips, etc. HubSpot also has a chat feature, so while you're working within the tool, you can get any question you need answered right away most of the time. Sometimes a chat agent isn't available, but you can always fall back on their extensive user FAQ database.
- They're always improving the product. It seems that nearly every week, there's a new feature for one of the various marketing tools they have, and these are features that (oftentimes) are suggested by the user community. As a user, you can actually write into their 'ideas forum' to suggest updates and improvements. HubSpot's people actually keep track of this and implement a ton of the changes users suggest!
- Even if you're a beginner with no marketing background or knowledge, HubSpot makes it super easy to learn not only how to use their tool, but also marketing strategy in general. They've got an extensive list of marketing courses that are free for users to access and they'll teach you everything from SEO strategy to email marketing basics to how to utilize paid ads and more. They really make you feel like they truly care about you improving and learning.
- The only area where I'd like to see HubSpot improve is in their design manager (specifically for emails and landing pages). Sometimes the pre-built templates and modules are extremely tricky to modify for my needs. I can usually find a workaround, but I think this is the only area where they could improve. Everything else is fantastic.

Simple and Smart CRM Platform
I have used many other CRM platforms in the past but found it very hard to generate the leads and following up with them whenever needed. HubSpot has made my work very simple and easy and found a lot of options where I could solve my problems like generating the leads, sending emails, calling, creating tasks, and scheduling meetings.
- Smart and simple to use.
- User-friendly.
- Helps the organization to increase its revenue and its marketing activities.
- Emails sent through HubSpot can be logged and tracked which helps me to connect with my leads.
- No coding problem.
- Email sequence helps me to lessen my time and effort and to generate old or lost leads which helps to increase the revenue.
- Whenever I get a new lead it is hidden and there are chances of missing out the opportunities from those leads.
- Breakage in voice when on a conference call.
