The "lighter" of the big two
Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot CRM
Hubspot [CRM] is used across every department at our company besides engineering/development. With a lead list in the tens of thousands, a CRM is required. As well, once leads turn into opportunities the sales team uses the sales tools and pipelines through our acquisition funnel, to take notes on companies and individuals, etc. Without Hubspot [CRM] or a similar product there would be no way to keep track and share all of this key information, especially as we work from home due to COVID. Finally, our Customer Success team uses Hubspot [CRM] to track customer metrics such as health, ARR, renewal dates, products purchased, etc. and has their own pipelines set up and automated via Workflows to track customer lifecycles. Hubspot [CRM's] value is in knowledge capture and sharing, time savings, and having "one true source" of information for our business.
Pros
- Contact storage
- Pipeline tracking
- Company information management
- Workflows/automation
- Integrations
Cons
- Workflow capabilities - cannot create many common workflows
- Calculated values - Missing some key variables for calculations
- Post-sales features - not an ideal set of features for post sale
- Saves time (hours per person per week)
- Retains knowledge
- Handoff between teams is smoother for higher NPS
- Management overview of deals and customers
The honest truth was we purchases Hubspot [CRM] when we were smaller and it was substantially less expensive than Salesforce. Now that we are larger we are hoping to switch over for the customization and extra integrations Salesforce offers. Hubspot [CRM] is lacking many features that seem simple and have been requested for years in their support forums, but it seems like the company has no interest in building them.
