Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot

HubSpot is being leveraged by my company, V-Soft Consulting, to manage blogging content, email marketing, create and manage calls to action, and assist us with managing social media. We've had HubSpot in place for about 6 months now and its being sued in most part by our marketing team and some lead intelligence for sales.

For us it has addressed the challenges of content creation, social publishing, and lead generation. With an improved interface content is quicker to assemble. Lead generation is not a technical obstacle but allows us to bring together content landing pages, and various call to action tools for a consistent lead generation process across the blog.

Wordpress, Pardot, Oracle, and Marketo were considerations in the process. Wordpress is far too clunky of a platform for lead and content management. Pardot seems to be more of niche product. Marketo is more up the ecommerce route and Oracle is for big budgets with lots of team members at a price that is a premium.
HubSpot is well suited for businesses that have the ability to educate and reach potential clients through the power of online activities. For a basic website of a local retail environment HubSpot may not be the best choice. Any Business to Business entity would be well served to leverage the power of HubSpot.
