I use it for contacts and to keep track of emails, and it is a great help. The integration with Gmail makes it very easy to save all the emails, and even to send emails directly from Hubspot. It is really a great help. Pros I love the flexibility it offers in customising some fields, including in the free version. It is a great way to start using and testing it before engaging in a more advanced use. Cons Some parts of the user management are not ideal, meaning that, for example, it is impossible to read a thread of emails. Alternatives considered [Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub It was very complete and it offered a lot of features and possibility for customisation.

Chief Executive Officer Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Intuitive all-in-one marketing automation tool with strong CRM integration" September 27, 2025 4.0 I create and send customer mailings and mailing lists. Making email management quick and user friendly. The entire lead process can be mapped and organized using this tool, saving you a lot of work and making new customer acquisition more efficient. Pros The user interface is very intuitive, so even new team members can get up to speed quickly. I find the seamless integration between CRM and marketing functions particularly helpful, as it keeps data consistent and automates processes. Saves a lot of time because I no longer have to jump back and forth between different tools. I love the email tool, super easy and intuitive to use. You can create and send great newsletters supper quickly using drag and drop. Cons In some instances, the contact forms and mailing templates/modules are limited in terms of number of drop downs and various consent footers. Switched from [GetResponse](https://www.capterra.com/p/153948/GetResponse/) The form creation area was quite slow at times. I felt I was missing the ability to insert a pre built funnel immediately after creating the webinar to remind participants. Review Source AH Amir H. E-Commerce Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Uniting our e-commerce customer experiences." March 4, 2026 5.0 As an E-Commerce Manager, I would be keen on monitoring the entire customer lifecycle. I do this as it helps me to centralize our marketing efforts and automate our email flows. It is an unquestionable giant, and the financial investment is enormous. Pros The convenience of being a complete one-stop shop is simply amazing, and we are able to integrate our email system with our overall retail contacts management database on a single roof. Cons The high onboarding costs and high upgrade costs are not good value to our 50-person company and the customer service usually only directs you to some generic articles rather than a technical support team.

Administrator Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Shocking Experience With HubSpot Sales Support" January 29, 2026 1.0 On January 29, 2026 (Romania time), I contacted HubSpot’s Sales support to discuss an issue related to my plan. What followed was an unacceptable chain of unprofessional, disrespectful, and frankly shocking interactions that no customer should ever experience. The first agent instructed me to send an email to a specific address, conveniently failing to mention that this address only accepts emails from professional accounts, making it impossible for me to contact them. When I called back to request the correct information, the situation escalated. The second agent was openly disrespectful. In the background, I could clearly hear motorbikes and dogs. At one point, he put me on hold to answer his personal phone. After that, he simply stopped responding while I was still on the line, forcing me to end the call myself. I called again and reached another agent who laughed at me. She explicitly stated that it was not her responsibility to speak with a manager regarding my issue, left me waiting without any communication, and ultimately told me she would end the call solely because I asked to speak with a manager in order to report the experience I had just endured. I called one final time. The last agent told me to “search on Google” for whatever I needed, said she would not provide any information because she works in sales, and then abruptly disconnected the call. This is, without exaggeration, the worst experience I have ever had with any company or call center. The behavior displayed by multiple HubSpot representatives is unacceptable, unprofessional, and damaging. I will be filing an international complaint regarding this incident. I have been a HubSpot customer since 2021. I recently upgraded to a paid plan, and this is the level of treatment I received. I strongly advise others to carefully consider which CRM they choose, as they may be subjected to the same experience. These calls should be reviewed in full to clearly expose what actually took place during each interaction. Pros It is very difficult to make a decision because the features are constantly changing. Creating confusion and instability, while customers are consistently pressured to upgrade and pay more. Cons Functions are added and removed without consistency, and you are repeatedly pushed to pay more. On top of that, users are repeatedly pushed to pay more just to retain functionality they previously had.

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.

Easy to set up scheduled and automated emails. Also easy to read the stats and see clients response to it. Some tracking work better than others. Pros It’s an all-in-one platform, therefore it’s easy to keep track of different areas such as marketing and sales. Email marketing has a good tracking system, it’s easy to create campaigns and to create automated emails through workflows. Cons There is many limitations between professional and enterprise, and it’s a big cost difference. It’s annoying that is not possible to track sales/deals closed based on email marketing campaigns. Big issue when you are an ecommerce. Also had issues with tracking FB ads, as it keeps getting an error that the ad was not possible to track because of the image size. Alternatives considered [Freshdesk](https://www.capterra.com/p/124981/Freshdesk/)[Teamwork CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/195320/Teamwork-CRM/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub Hubspot was a complete system, with marketing and sales, also payment and inboxing features has made us stay and implement the system more and more. Switched from [ActiveCampaign](https://www.capterra.com/p/79367/ActiveCampaign/) Active campaign was too slow for the amount of contacts we had. Also at the moment, Hubspot was more advanced. This was 3 years ago, I don’t know how mucha it has changed. But Hubspot was a full CRM system, while active campaign was missing a lot of features. Review Source MC Milena C. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust CRM tool" November 14, 2025 4.0 Overall HubSpot Marketing is a great tool and can really help streamline marketing for businesses. So long as you take the time to learn about it you can figure it out with their training and customer support and really get your bang for your buck. Pros Hubspot Marketing does so much. It also houses a ton of data for your company and can give you a ton of statistics and tools. Cons It can be hard to learn to navigate and set things up if you have never worked with a CRM before and also can be a costly option especially for small businesses just starting out. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing HubSpot Marketing Hub We used it in tandem with Hubspot to compare the two for our business Switched from [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) We used it in tandem with Hubspot to compare the two for our business Review Source JS Josh S.

Also the mo ile app is easy to use. Nice to try out for free Pros Plentyful options for any size businesses. The filter tool to sort names to call offers more options. I like the ability to use amd grow woth it. Cons To much going on and can seem like you get lost with the options. Especially when compared to Bigin.

Marketing and Digital Communication Specialist Libraries Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HubSpot's Marketing Hub: A Marketer's Dream" September 26, 2024 4.0 We are able to use this complete package of tools to coordinate our marketing activities, starting with the leads and ending with the customers. Pros In this series, HubSpot’s Marketing Hub is particularly possible thanks to being an integrated solution that functions as CRM, marketing automation tool, and analytics. Cons Despite the fact that there are a number of provided templates with different kinds of preset reports, targeting very special areas with very special criteria may be very difficult. Switched from [Google Analytics 360](https://www.capterra.com/p/177042/Google-Analytics/) Before this, our marketing tools included Google Analytics and Mailchimp integrated into our website. Although these tools were efficient separately, they did not seem well coordinated as we wanted for an integrated system. With HubSpot, we did not require other tools to monitor our marketing campaigns because the program offered a more elaborate analysis. Review Source KW Kate W. Office Manager Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Lots of features - little too pricey!" March 30, 2026 4.0 Really impressed with the set up and customer support, however for a smaller business who needs to dip into different features the pricing just gets too expensive. Pros The customer support was good. There are a lot of integrated features which can make using it a kind of one stop shop for the user if you can switch everything over. Cons For what we needed it was too advanced and too expensive to justify using all the features. We found it cheaper to use different companies for the different areas than all the features at Hubspot. Review Source JK Johanna K. Senior Manager of Communications Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Useful and Robust Capabilities " April 3, 2025 5.0 We use Hubspot for multiple content and marketing strategies and our team has found it to be a really robust tool for both internal and external marketing. Pros The ease of importing and managing contacts! Cons There is definitely a learning curve to using it and it could be more-cost friendly for startups. While the user-interface is nice, some things aren't intuitive in the way they are connected or how they need to be completed in order to perform certain automations. Switched from [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) We needed additional functionality and this made more sense for marketing. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Ops Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent tool, high price tag." December 12, 2025 4.0 Great experience with the tool and it works great for us now, but unlocking the next stage will come with an enormous price tag. This tool is best suited for teams that will take full advantage of its capabilities. Pros This platform feels very cohesive and brings together everything we need for our very small marketing team. The interface is polished and user-friendly. The biggest highlight for us is probably the reporting functionality Cons Cost is the biggest barrier for us. Some of the more powerful features are locked behind higher-tier plans, so it’s easy to outgrow the lower-cost options. The pricing jumps significantly from the lower tier to the higher one. 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 PG Patricia G. Customer Service Lead Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Whole guest engagement." January 10, 2026 5.0 We needed a way to track guest interactions apart from just a simple email list. This system provides us with an entire picture of our customer service and marketing efforts put together. It is powerful but has a steep learning curve as a small team you are trying to juggle daily operations. Pros Having all our emails, contacts, marketing interaction in one single dashboard is incredibly convenient. Cons The onboarding process is complex and take a long time to really understand. The pro features are priced out of reach for smaller hospitality businesses like ours. Review Source LF Luis F. Sales Development Rep Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hubspot marketing Review " June 24, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with HubSpot Marketing Hub has been very positive. The platform is intuitive, well-integrated, and offers a comprehensive suite of tools that make managing marketing campaigns efficient and effective. Its seamless integration with the CRM, strong automation capabilities, and user-friendly interface have made it easier to align marketing efforts with sales objectives. While there are some limitations with customization at lower tiers, HubSpot remains a powerful solution for streamlining marketing operations and driving engagement. Pros What I liked most about HubSpot Marketing Hub is how user-friendly and centralized everything is. It’s great having tools for email marketing, automation, landing pages, and analytics all in one place — it really streamlines campaign management. The CRM integration also makes it easy to align marketing and sales efforts, which helps drive better results. Cons What I found least favorable about HubSpot Marketing Hub is that some of the more advanced features—particularly in areas like custom reporting, advanced automation, and integrations—are only accessible through higher-tier plans, which can become costly as needs scale.

My first impression was incredibly disappointing. First, their calendar booking service was completely non-functional; it just showed a blank screen. When I tried to find an alternative way to connect, I was given only two options: get a demo for a $300 product or use their generic chat/telephone support. All I needed was a simple 15-minute conversation with a human to understand if HubSpot was even the right fit for my business needs before committing time to a full demo. The fact that this isn't an option shows a complete disregard for the customer journey. It's clear that their process is designed to push expensive products, not to help business owners make informed decisions. If you are looking for a company that values building a relationship and understanding your needs, this is not the place. The focus is clearly on the dollars, not the customer. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. Pros A powerful and comprehensive platform. All the marketing and sales tools you need in one place. Beneficial for a small company. Cons Broken booking system and pushy sales tactics. They clearly don't care about new customers. Make it difficult to have a conversation to discuss options. 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 NJ Nicholai J. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A One-Stop Shop for Streamlined Marketing" February 28, 2025 4.0 Overall, I’m happy with HubSpot Marketing Hub because it helped me and my freelancers stay organized and run campaigns more smoothly. We saved a lot of time having everything (email, social, automation, analytics) under one roof instead of juggling separate tools. Even though there’s a bit of a learning curve and you have to watch the costs, it’s a solid solution if you want a platform that grows with your company and keeps all your marketing efforts in sync. Pros I really enjoy how HubSpot Marketing Hub ties so many marketing tasks together. The email builder is easy to use, and you can automate campaigns without jumping between different tools. It’s also nice having a clear view of how leads move through the funnel, and the reporting is detailed enough for me to spot trends and make quick decisions. On top of that, the support materials (like tutorials and guides) were helpful for getting our team up to speed. Cons Pricing can become a challenge as you grow. Once you need more contacts or add-ons, the monthly cost can jump quickly. Another thing is the learning curve—while most features are intuitive, it can still feel a bit overwhelming at first, especially if your team hasn’t used an all-in-one platform before. We spent extra time watching tutorials to really get comfortable with advanced features like workflow automation and detailed reporting. Review Source SH Shir H.

January 8, 2025 5.0 With HubSpot all your updates in one place, boost collaboration and engagement around everything that's driving new deals. Pros HubSpot is easy to use, its amazing dashboards help me seamlessly collaborate and manage my marketing tasks. HubSpot keeps everything in one place, clear and easy to track. I love how it seamlessly connects email, calendar, keeping my team and I on the same page at all times. I love how HubSpot captures every detail from the source and provides very detailed data that helps me reach better targeting. The live analytics let me instantly adjust campaigns and see results improve immediately. I love how I can pull up reports that show everything about the opportunities our team is working on. Cons HubSpot has everything we need, simplifies tasks without complications. Incorporating some charts can help us understand the current situation faster. Review Source Hannah K.

I like the follow up reminders and pipeline features available on the platform. Cons Wish it was easier to integrate with other platforms. The UI navigation is also not very intuitive but easy to manage once you get the hang of it. Review Source JB Juan B. BDR Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HS Marketing Hub: Not the best for emailing campaigns" June 10, 2025 3.0 I've used it for so many years to the point where I'm so familiar with it, while also having liked its interface over most other CRM tools, that I just wish it would get a bit more robust and customizable. Pros It's user friendly, intuitive (mostly), and it can integrate with a huge and diverse pool of applications, extensions, etc. Cons It's not the best with automated email outreach. If you compare its Marketing capabilities with those of Outreach, HubSpot definitely falls far behind. Review Source SC Sean C. VP, Marketing and Program Management Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and simple but can be expensive as you add features" January 16, 2025 4.0 HubSpots' interface is simple and intuitive. The ease of use is the reason we went with HubSpot. The integration with 3rd party plug-ins, such as Zoominfo, is simple to setup and rarely goes down. Pros I like the ease of use in creating emails, web forms and landing pages. The reporting that and seamless integration with building and adding contacts works perfectly. Cons I use the regular Marketing hub if you want to upgrade to the professional version it comes at a steep cost. HubSpot in general nickle and dimes you on a lot of their services. Review Source RM Rian M. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "HubSpot is the best option for serious businesses" April 12, 2025 5.0 Overall HubSpot has definitely have helped scale our marketing operarions and centralized it. The pricing is what gets to me as you grow. It’s something you’ve got to calculate and see if you need it. Pros I liked that the analytics are customized with a lot of reporting. They also centralized. Cons The lack of customization for starter plans since it’s essentially to scaling. The pricing also grows really quickly when you try to scale and since all of your data is with them. It becomes complicated to use another CRM epically because some CRM don’t have that specific feature and have criteria’s different from HubSpot to use. Review Source MC Maitri C.

I do a mixture of operations and marketing duties during my day and my experience in the marketing module has helped me in areas of operations as well. The social content scheduling aspect of it has been seamless! Pros I love being able to manage all of my email templates and social content in one place. I also love using the social feature to pre-schedule all of my social media content on various different platforms. Cons I wish there was more customization options when it comes to email templates.
