Creatio CRM vs HubSpot CRM: Which is a better fit?

Heather: I'm Heather, sales operations manager. I give Creatio a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before Creatio, we had Sales Logics CRM. It was a program that wasn't cutting edge enough. Didn't have enough ability to move with the direction that our company was going in. And we weren't able to change it as much as we would like to. And so we were looking for a more versatile product. And we did look at salesforce.com and have used it in the past. And that one was just a little bit too large for what we wanted and Creatio was just a better fit. We chose Creatio because it required low code. It was easy to customize to what we needed. Its price point was better than some of its larger competitors. Another big reason we chose Creatio is because of its user-friendly UI. User adoption is very important to us and we wanted to make sure that we had as much compliance as possible. We also really enjoyed the app feature that they have with a lot of our sales reps being outside sales. Getting started with Creatio CRM is difficult as getting into any CRM. Usually is, we had to migrate all of our data into a new system and learn a new process. It took a matter of months to get everything situated and looking exactly like we wanted it to and then train our new team. We didn't have any major hiccups in the process. And the support team was very helpful in getting us ready to go. And everything did happen on time and pretty seamlessly. I think that Creatio CRM is a good fit for mid-sized companies that are looking for a malleable CRM and aren't looking to go full blown into the CRMs and going into something like salesforce.com and they want something that is user-friendly. You'd want to also check out what connectors they have. Very similar to other CRMs that you look at. They do have an app store that's helpful. And so depending on what your industry is, you'll be able to shop around and see what's available. You also can check out their academy and see what the community has to say about their products. The other thing that's really helpful with Creatio is that they do respond quickly to Request Me by the community. And so going on their website and viewing, that would also be very helpful in making your decision.

Monica: My name is Monica and I am an administrative and operations manager. Our company consists of 12 people and I would give HubSpot a 4-star rating. We were using Salesforce and the way it was described by my management was as an glorified database. Apparently, we did need support for every step that we needed to follow and support wasn't great, so it just took a lot of work to get simple tasks done. Yeah. I chose HubSpot myself actually. I did some research and I wanted a platform where I could have all of my activities in one place. So not only I have the CRM software, I can also distribute our newsletter and I can also get reports on the activity that I get with my customers and contacts. So initially, I tried it because it was a free platform that offered very sophisticated tools. And I ended up staying with it just because I can have everything in one place, even manage my social media accounts. At first, getting started with HubSpot was very easy. It is very intuitive. It is very well-designed. Later on, I did have some questions. I didn't have the time necessarily to explore the more complex tools, so I did reach out to the sales team. To be honest, it took some time to get an appointment. I got canceled three times so that wasn't great. But the software and the design itself is pretty good where I was able to set it up myself. I would say, if you want to try HubSpot, to watch some videos about all the capabilities. There is even a very short project-oriented course available online. I believe that it's on Coursera. That is very useful. They guide you through every step of the way and they show all the many different free tools that are available which is great because they're not pushing a sale. They are rather just teaching you how to use the software. And yeah, just watch a bunch of videos and do spend some time exploring the many available tools.
