Overall Satisfaction with HubSpot CRM

I use Hubspot to manage leads, contact information, tasks, notes, deals, deal status. I do full cycle sales meaning that I act as both the SDR and AE in my current roll. I also have been in charge of developing and managing partnerships; tho we just got a new partnership team member to who this will be transitioning to.
  • Contacts
  • Pipeline status.
  • Tasks and the ease of updating.
  • In application dialer.
  • Text messaging.
  • Opportunity/Current customers: it's tough to see a list of current clients and the opportunity to sell. Salesforce was so much better for this.
  • Reports for prospecting/ re engagements with close lost deals.
  • Negative ROI on sales rep adoption it is hard to navigate.
  • Negative ROI on sequences - having to create an email for each template is terrible.
  • Negative ROI for signature and font in the system. I have to reset these areas frequently, and updating them takes a lot of time.
I much prefer Salesforce to HubSpot.
We selected HubSpot because of its pricing. It gives decent CRM capabilities without the Sales Force Admin pricing that comes with a more robust system.

Do you think HubSpot CRM delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with HubSpot CRM's feature set?

Yes

Did HubSpot CRM live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of HubSpot CRM go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy HubSpot CRM again?

No

Hubspot is good if you don't have funding and need basic CRM capabilities for small teams. It's great for simple outreach and activity logging. I do feel that if a team gets larger for the department of sales Salesforce reporting, layout out, and opportunity records are so much cleaner.
