Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot

HubSpot is being used by our agency both internally and as a tool to service our clients. It is being used by multiple departments across the organization: Sales, Marketing, Marketing Services and Design Departments. We are attracting traffic, generating contacts, and closing customers for our clients and our agency.
  • Email Automation - effective and user friendly
  • Database Segmentation - for refined and targeted marketing
  • Campaign Tracking - being able to monitor all assets of a campaign in one easy-to-manage view
  • Reporting and Analytics - reporting attributed to each channel, at a contact level
  • Social Media Publishing - simple and straight forward
  • Implement search tool on HubSpot COS pages (including blog)
  • Add social monitoring on more networks than just Twittter
  • Ability to post on more social network platforms
  • Increased Traffic
  • More Leads
  • More Targeted and Effective Marketing Campaigns
  • Increased Efficiency in Performing Marketing Activities
HubSpot is an all-inclusive platform. It address all of our needs in one place. That's why we chose it to replace all other marketing and sales systems internally, and that's why we recommend it to our clients.
HubSpot is well suited for companies who want to do inbound marketing the right way, with all the tools at their disposal. HubSpot is appropriate for companies who are willing to invest to generate real results.

HubSpot is not appropriate for companies who can't put resources into inbound marketing. It's a time investment, and companies should either be equipped to invest time in executing inbound marketing deliverables or hiring a HubSpot partner agency to do the execution for them.

HubSpot Training

I used the online training in 2013 and it was very thorough but makes the tool seem easier than it is. I learned most of what I know about the platform through the training resources and HubSpot support. Some of the more difficult nuances of the software are omitted from the videos, which I assume is to keep them short and convenient. Using the software much more involved than the videos make it seem, which is great, because the functionality is robust. If companies find it difficult to handle all their inbound campaigns in the tool alone, they should really rely on an agency to help. It is more complex than it appears.
