Great product, good results, exactly as advertised (isn't that rare?!)
Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot
HubSpot is the "hub" (!) of our inbound marketing program. It is used across our (small) organization to increase visibility, generate leads, and manage our online presence. It effectively delivers "bang for the (VERY small) bucks" we have in resources of time, people-power, and money. It leverages the limited amount of marketing time/money as a "force multiplier" to produce more effectiveness and return than that same people power could prior to HS.
Pros
- Integrates several vital functions of inbound marketing into a comparatively simple, yet extraordinarily robust/complete system that is usable by complete non-technical users.
- Evaluates our work as we progress, provides real-time coaching/suggestions, and makes analytics on our results accessible to non-professionals
- Optimizes the impact, integration, and interactions of various tasks, providing surprising leverage ("whole is greater than the sum of the parts")
- The vast majority of inbound marketing functions are accessible through a common portal
Cons
- Continue the good work in making global changes (all pages, all pages with a specific feature--i.e. CTA's, etc., all sub-pages to a particular page) easier to understand and make
- Acknowledging the GREAT work that has been done in this arena, the system is so complete, has so many features, that making it easy to understand, access, and use the different parts will always be a challenge. It really has to be "dumbed down" for some of us!
- Although it's probably a failing on MY part, here are some things that are still hard for me to figure out: How to access HS "offers" without completing another form (and understanding the difference between the "Library" and where those offers/worksheets/tools/etc. live, work flows, and using many of the reports.
- More marketing impact for less time invested
- More visits, more leads, and more contacts
- Previously disjointed or disparate information (CRM, email lists, blogs, etc., etc.) now all live in the same place, saving tons of "lookup time"
HubSpot Support
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
No - What I get for free is the best support I've EVER experienced, with any product, for my entire 30-year career in business. Period. Without a single exception.
Not really. My "problems" are mostly with my technical incompetence. The truly outstanding and exceptional support is the utter consistency and reliability of support: Every single time, without exception, Hubspot technical support is the absolute best customer service I've EVER experienced. It's not unheard of to meet that expectation once (though most can't seem to achieve it!); but to do it EVERY time, is extraordinary and amazing!

Yes - Adequate. I'd like more functions & easy access to more information, especially reports. Personally, I won't try to "maintain" my site from mobile device; but I do like to check in for reports/data, and to look up recent actions.
