Digital CRM marketing senior specialist Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable and powerful CRM solutions for any kind of business design as a all-in-one platform." March 15, 2026 5.0 As a senior consultant with certification, hubspot is the best CRM for entry level but also for bigger scale companies. Easily accessible and consistent , and possible to go beyond your expectations. Pros \-the free Marketing Hub services without payment option -Unmatched "Time-to-Value" and UX Consistency with powerful data contact management for list creation, audience -interface is consistent across Email, Social, and Workflows -The Workflows feature is very intuitive, powerful to handle complex logic -Email management easy to manage and setup Cons \-While the entry point is accessible for small business, the pricing jumps significantly for big scale integrations -Compared to Salesforce, HubSpot’s sandbox management is too simplified for deployment test Alternatives considered [Salesforce Marketing Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/248536/Salesforce-Marketing-Cloud/)[Klaviyo](https://www.capterra.com/p/156699/Klaviyo/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub Best ratio price and product add value with easy to integrate Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Director, Brand and Marketing Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful Marketing Automation" July 7, 2026 5.0 Pros HubSpot Marketing Hub is intuitive and easy to use, with a clean interface that makes it simple to build campaigns, automate marketing workflows, and track performance. The CRM integration is seamless, and the reporting tools provide valuable insights that help optimize marketing efforts. It also scales well as business needs grow. Cons One challenge is tracking leads when they submit a form using a different email address than the one already associated with their contact or company record. This can create duplicate contacts or make it difficult to attribute activity to the correct company, requiring additional manual cleanup and impacting reporting accuracy. Switched from [Zoho Marketing Automation](https://www.capterra.com/p/233707/Zoho-Marketing-Automation/)[Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/) We switched from Zoho because we needed a more robust marketing automation platform with stronger CRM integration and reporting capabilities. HubSpot provides a more intuitive user experience, making it easier to build campaigns, automate workflows, and measure performance across the customer journey. The seamless connection between marketing and sales activities also made it a better fit for our team's operational needs.

But the limitations were too many for managing all our marketing activities within the Hubspot Marketing Hub. Pros As an advertiser, I really like the feature that allows us to create advertising audiences (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) based on customer lists direcly within Hubspot. Cons As far as marketing features (advertising campaign management, landing page creation/management, etc.), the capabilities are relatively basic. It's good for a smaller operation or simple marketing activities. But for individuals or teams who want to manage all the nuanced settings of their ad campaigns (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), break free from generic landing page templates, incorporate semi-advanced landing page features, etc, you won't be able to do all this in the Hubspot platform. Also, for enterprise packages, the cost gets pretty high pretty quickly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid but expensive tool" July 4, 2026 4.0 Pros Hubspot is a great CRM that can be used for sales process and contact management, email marketing, and email automation. Cons The main downside of Hubspot is pricing. It's an expensive tool to implement but comes with a wide range of features Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub Mostly determined by pricing but Salesforce also has a steep learning curve Switched from [Pipedrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/132666/Pipedrive/) Better features overall offered by Hubspot. Pipedrive is a bit outdates Review Source VR Verified Reviewer COO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A reliable and scalable platform to align marketing and sales" September 3, 2025 5.0 Overall, HubSpot Marketing Hub has been an invaluable platform for AVOW. It has brought structure and efficiency to our sales and marketing alignment, improved visibility across teams, and allowed us to run data-driven campaigns at scale. The tool continues to evolve, and despite some limitations, it remains a central part of our tech stack. Pros What I like most about HubSpot Marketing Hub is how seamlessly it connects our marketing and sales activities into one ecosystem. The automation features save our teams time, the dashboards give us both high-level and detailed insights, and the integration with other tools ensures that we always have a single source of truth. It has really helped us scale and stay consistent across global campaigns. Cons Advanced customization options can feel limited, and some reporting requires extra effort to tailor to our specific needs. Also, while the platform is very user-friendly, the pricing scales quickly as you add more features or contacts (they come in thesholds), which can be a consideration for growing teams. Switched from [Pipedrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/132666/Pipedrive/) We needed more than just a CRM. Pipedrive worked well for pipeline management, but it lacked the depth we needed to connect marketing and sales under one roof. With HubSpot, we can run lead nurturing, marketing automation, reporting, and CRM in one ecosystem — which gives us better visibility and helps our teams stay aligned. For a company like AVOW, working across multiple regions and managing complex client relationships, HubSpot offered the scalability and integrations that Pipedrive couldn’t provide.

Head of Digital Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to pick up, hard to master" April 27, 2026 4.0 Overall it was positive once you've commited enough time to learning the full ins and outs of Hubspot. Pros A great all in one platform for email management, lead tracking and fully realised CRM system. Its so useful having everything in one place Cons The learning curve for getting the most of out the platform is very steep, you will spend alot of time looking up stuff and researching Alternatives considered [monday CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/245800/Monday-CRM/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub The wealth of features that options that came with Hubspot Review Source SD Stacie D. Sales Coordinator Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "powerful tracking ads" March 9, 2026 4.0 HubSpot has helped us to automate our campaigns, saves me time and effort. With it, I can track who is reached and I know how to contact them. Pros A complete marketing platform, it makes email automation too easy, streamlining tracking campaigns on Google and Facebook effectively. Cons I remarked recently some email campaigns didn’t perform as well as they once did and received fewer responses, which is a challenge. Review Source PC Patrick C. VP Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great way to stay on top of important contacts." May 17, 2026 4.0 I use it to keep track of networking opportunities, contact details, important information about people I know, and tasks to keep me on track. I also use it to keep track of activity over time. Pros It feels modern and is easily integrated into my daily schedule using the app and APIs that can build it into tools like Outlook. Cons It takes a little bit of learning, but that is to be expected with any new software. The learning curve was less than I've experieced with some similar projects. Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) To improve return on investment by reducing platform costs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Brand manager's works is smooth and fast thanks to HubSpot" March 13, 2026 5.0 Great experience. The email, forms and campaigns are the sections that I use the most and as a brand manager they make my work very easy. Pros I use HubSpot marketing to send mass email to my subscribers. What I like the most about it is that it's easy to use and that I can clone previous templates to create a new one very fast. Cons I recommend HubSpot to my clients and I know that for small businesses the plans can be a bit out of their budgets. Switched from [ActiveCampaign](https://www.capterra.com/p/79367/ActiveCampaign/) Active campaign's plan was higher in price and we didn't use all the features. Review Source AM Anna M. Customer Service Agent Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Only built for big companies" May 17, 2026 5.0 Pros Compared to other e-mail marketing platforms we tried, everyone agrees that HubSpot is the most complete. We used to use the CRM and using the entire platform was easy. Cons Every advanced feature requires the premium plan. I’d say the pricing of HubSpot is somewhat understandable Switched from [MailerLite](https://www.capterra.com/p/136603/MailerLite/)[Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/)[Brevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/132996/brevo/) All these platforms are lacking something that HubSpot provides, but at what cost? Review Source Tony U. Head of Growth Marketing Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "\*\*Review title:\*\* Powerful all-in-one marketing platform that makes execution easier" April 3, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with HubSpot Marketing Hub has been very positive. It is one of the most user-friendly marketing platforms I have worked with, especially for email marketing, automation, contact management, and campaign execution. It is a strong all-in-one platform that helps teams stay organised and move faster. While it can become costly as needs become more complex, the ease of use, time saved, and strong integration with the wider HubSpot ecosystem make it a very valuable tool. Pros What I like most about HubSpot Marketing Hub is how easy it is to manage a lot of marketing activity in one place without it feeling too overwhelming. The email builder is straightforward, contact segmentation is powerful, and the workflows make it much easier to automate repetitive tasks. I also like that it connects well with the CRM, so marketing and sales are not working in silos. Reporting is clear enough for day-to-day use, and it helps you move quickly without needing lots of technical support. Cons The main downside is pricing, especially once you start needing the more advanced features or larger contact limits. Some useful tools are locked behind higher-tier plans, which can make it feel expensive as your business grows. Reporting can also be a bit limiting if you want deeper custom analysis, and there are times when setting up more advanced workflows or attribution requires more trial and error than expected.

Pros Creating and sending targeted email campaigns to clients and prospects is what I like most about HubSpot Marketing Hub .Easy to use interface and reporting tools give me clear insights . Cons My experience is highly positive ,to be real the price is the only thing I can say quite high ,at first before I get to learn all it offers was shocked . Review Source Eric N. Business Development Representative Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Practical & Effective with great features. " December 2, 2025 5.0 Honestly great for tracking campaigns, managing sequences, outreaching existing and potential customers. REally solid. Pros Great Crm, easy to use, solid kpi tracking, integrates well with most applications. Easy to manage accounts and leads + they are always updating features and especially in the past year or so they have been quick to role out new features. Cons Duplicate creation, It would be easier especially for people in sales roles if companies that were lareg that maybe have a few domains could still be attached to the parent domain and then link and organise each sub domain and contacts connected. Can be a little messy with data sometimes but generally very good. Review Source MK Misty K. Office Coordinator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and very affordable" July 12, 2026 4.0 I would highly recommend this program if you are searching for a CRM. The support staff is great, it is easy to use and above all it is affordable. Pros What I liked most about HubSpot Marketing Hub was that it was easy to use and did not feel overly complicated. It is affordable, has good value as a CRM, and can be adapted to fit just about any industry or organization. Cons The only thing I did not like was that I wish certain things were easier to customize. Some of the menus and layout options felt a little fixed, and it would be helpful to have more control over how things are organized so the system could better fit the way each organization actually works. Review Source Anna B. Founder and CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great, powerful tool for marketing " February 28, 2026 4.0 Overall a great tool and fun to use and work on. I think it has great potential and I appreciate how they constantly ship new feat Pros Hubspot is very user-friendly when you use the support documentation. It is unmatched in terms of email management on a large scale and tracking emails. It is truly an all-in-one with aspects of management from sales through delivery. I've also had a positive experience with customer support. Cons Hubspot is quite expensive, so it's not a 10/10 fit for a small business like mine. While the tool has capability to help me scale, I would likely need an investment to justify the cost at this point. Contact management has area for improvement as portfolio views of prospects vs clients or other lists. Integration can be difficult among contacts vs deals. Review Source YM Yasmin M. Operation Assistant Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "All-in-One Marketing Powerhouse" April 10, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with HubSpot Marketing Hub has been very positive. It’s a powerful, all-in-one marketing platform that makes it easy to manage campaigns, track performance, and nurture leads in one place. I really appreciated how well it integrates with the CRM and other tools, which helps keep everything organized and connected. The interface is generally user-friendly, and the automation features save a lot of time once they are set up. Pros What I liked most about HubSpot Marketing Hub is how all-in-one and easy to manage it is for marketing activities. It brings together tools for email marketing, landing pages, social media scheduling, and analytics in one platform, which makes campaign management much more efficient. I also liked the drag-and-drop tools for creating emails and landing pages, since they don’t require any technical skills. The built-in CRM integration is another strong advantage because it helps keep track of leads and customer interactions in one place. Cons While the free and basic versions are useful, many of the more powerful tools are locked behind paywalls, which isn't that big of an issue to our company since we pay but could be troublesome for some smaller companies. Review Source JD Johanna D. Head of Marketing Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent CRM & Marketing Platform for B2B SaaS" May 28, 2026 5.0 I always recommend HubSpot, it's one of my favourite products for B2B SaaS marketers. A very large website I manage used to live on Wordpress. We migrated to HubSpot CMS and I never want to go back. Pros I have been using HubSpot Marketing Hub for years and couldn't imagine living without it. The entire platform just makes sense. Cons It can be expensive, but definitely worth it, and the free plan offers enough features for those who don't have the budget to upgrade. Review Source LB Logan B. Owner Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for SMB" January 13, 2026 4.0 HubSpot is an excellent CMS tool to manage all aspects of your business. The degree of ease and free classes to learn the system are amazing and get you up and running fast. Pros I loved how easy it was to manage my leads from one location. I could market to them, have them fill forms on the landing pages I built, and update it inside the Hub. Truly an all-in-one tool. Cons Lack of customizability unless you are willing to pay a premium price. Price tiers can be steep jumps. Review Source KM Karen M. Managing Editor Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All-in-one marketing and email tools for journal growth" November 12, 2025 5.0 HubSpot helped us grow our reader base and streamline outreach for more submissions and engagement with our content. Having all emails, leads, and analytics in one place enhanced our marketing efficiency at the International Journal of Nursing and Health Services Pros I like HubSpot Marketing Hub because, within one dashboard, it offers top quality in lead generation, bulk emailing, and campaign management. It’s also very user-friendly; it's easy for the publishing team to track the effectiveness of their outreach efforts. Cons Some customization and integrations require a bit of learning, and managing multiple email lists or campaigns can be time-consuming. The customer support is good but sometimes slow on deeper tech questions, which matters when launching big initiatives. Review Source DS Deja S.

Pros It has a lot of useful functions and tools for both email marketing and social media posts and ads management. Cons The automation of the tool is not the easiest. I took a few lessons to learn it but it’s worth it so much. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Email Marketing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "East to use, but still advanced functionality " August 29, 2025 4.0 Pros I like that it's easy to use and simple but still advanced enough to do customizations and make advanced campaigns. Cons I feel like integrations with Salesforce isn't as integrated as well. Or at least Hubspot isn't set up the same way. For example Salesforce has Campaigns that have Sub Campaigns. You can't do this in Hubspot. Review Source RL Ruth L. Digital Marketing and Growth Strategist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HubSpot Marketing Hub" December 2, 2025 5.0 With HubSpot Marketing Hub, it has been easier to follow every step of the marketing work. Between emails and landing pages, everything is better connected and easier to manage on a daily basis. Pros The automation creator is very intuitive, and the models allow you to launch clean campaigns quickly. The analysis dashboard also provides useful information without additional tools. Cons Some features are reserved for higher planes, and it takes a little time to get used to all the metrics. Review Source FC Fergus C. Marketing Executive Building Materials Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust and game-changing" July 15, 2025 4.0 A huge elevation to marketing processes in the company, which will eventually lead to a smooth running funnel for sales and marketing. Pros Connectivity and synchronisation with other platforms and data sources. Many marketing tools in one place. Cons There is a lack of flexibility in the email template creator, making it difficult to design emails that stand out visually.
