Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot
HubSpot is used by Leighton Interactive's whole organization. We use the program to market ourselves, and our clients. Specifically, we use the program for campaigns, websites, blogs, newsletters, and social media. HubSpot helps us generate leads for our organization and our clients. HubSpot has proven to be essential for our organization. Update: As our agency has expanded, we've grown to use more HubSpot features - such as the HubSpot CRM, Integrations, and Apps. We have been recommending these features to our clients.

Using HubSpot
Evaluating HubSpot and Competitors
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
- Existing Relationship with the Vendor
HubSpot needs to be right for our clients. The tools needs to be fully-featured, yet easy enough for our team and clients to use. The fact that HubSpot offers so many features (blogging, SEO, development, CTAs, social, email, forms, reporting, etc.) is a huge selling feature. We can dig deep when we need to, but HubSpot also allows us to simplify all our results into easy to understand reports.
There are quite a few more marketing softwares on the market that I think we would objectively compare to HubSpot. Marketo, Optify, InfusionSoft, etc. However, one thing that originally drew us to HubSpot was their company culture. Our company holds similar core values, and we believe they offer an abundance of free resources and ideas to help us stay on the cutting edge of marketing.
