Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot CRM

HubSpot helps me manage incoming leads (potential students) interested in Touro College, and the software makes keeping track of 100s of people and scheduling appointments for them with various counselors very easy and straightforward.
  • Contact profile page layout is very user-friendly.
  • Emailing and calling through HubSpot is very easy and straightforward and the way everything can be automatically or manually logged makes my job much easier.
  • The HubSpot reports dashboard is very easy to use and look at, a quick way to get started on the day and reflect on recent activity.
  • Overall, the site is very easy to navigate, no small accomplishment.
  • Scheduling meetings through HubSpot is easy and quick.
  • In my daily use of HubSpot, I actually haven't encountered any difficulties with HubSpot - which is great! Since my work is just contacting leads/potential students in patterned sequences and scheduling them with counselors, everything is pretty straightforward.
  • I do understand that occasionally phone calls don't get recorded for whatever reason, but it hasn't been a real issue.
  • Efficiency - cost savings.
  • Speed and transparency in communications.
  • Increased student enrollment.
Navigating HubSpot, using it for communications and recordkeeping, and customizing HubSpot's reports dashboard are all much easier and clearer than any CRM software I've used previously.

Would you buy HubSpot CRM again?

Yes

HubSpot seems very well suited for professional phone calls and emails and keeping track of them in highly organized fashion. I use it to keep records on individual contacts and to look at the bigger picture for overall results, trends and patterns in my communications and in our college's marketing strategy. For admissions contact recordkeeping, I think it's perfect. I don't use it for nonprofessional communication, or even anything purely internal to our department. (Maybe having a fairly singular focus when using the site also makes it easier to use.)
