HubSpot CRM Software Reviews

“hubspot changed our workflow”

Pros

HubSpot has been a real gamechanger for our organization. It helps us keep our clients and supporters organized and makes reaching out to them much more manageable. We've been able to move away from outdated, confusing spreadsheets and use a system that's much more simple and user-friendly.

Cons

Rarely but I do run into some difficulty when trying to locate certain sections in the system.

“Reliable and user-friendly platform”

Pros

Right from the start it has been simple to work with. The recent updates have improved it even more and it handles everything I need without any trouble. I've been satisfied with it and would gladly recommend it to others as well.

Cons

I really don't have any major issues to mention. It does lag once in a while but it's understandable and not something that has caused real concern. Overall I don't have any complaints.

“connected customer journey wins”

Pros

Having everything in one place is really the biggest advantage. With the CRM, marketing automation and customer service tools all built into the same platform, the data stays connected so you can see contact details, campaign activity and support history together in one view. That makes the overall customer journey much clearer and easier to follow. The marketing automation side is especially well designed and setting up email campaigns and nurture workflows feels fairly simple without needing a dedicated technical person.

Cons

Pricing is definitely one of the biggest concerns. The way it's structured can be confusing and the total cost can rise pretty quickly once you start adding more features, hubs or users which makes it tough to estimate what you'll actually be paying in the end. For smaller teams or companies watching their budget closely, that can be difficult to justify. On top of that some of the more advanced functionality takes time to learn and getting real value from the platform requires a meaningful investment in setup and onboarding.

“flexible platform with strong integrations”

Pros

There's a lot you can accomplish. It's highly flexible, handles most needs right out of the box and the integration ecosystem is strong enough to cover more niche use cases when needed.

Cons

Things can get disorganized pretty quickly if the team doesn't fully understand how everything is configured. When people start building their own custom setups, it can end up affecting other parts of the system. It also becomes complex fast and I had a hard time making dynamic, usage-based SaaS pricing work the way it should so it never really felt like a true source of truth.

“Amazing lead tracking and automation”

Pros

It does a really good job of helping track leads through a clean, simple interface. The automation tools cut down on manual work and help keep workflows organized, while the collaboration features make it simple for the team to stay aligned.

Cons

A few of the more advanced capabilities are locked behind paid plans and navigating larger databases can start to feel a bit slow. The free version is useful but it does come with limits when it comes to advanced features.

“Simple lead tracking”

Pros

Managing leads and keeping customer details organized in one place is probably the biggest advantage. It gives really strong value for the price especially since the free plan already comes with a lot of practical features. The interface feels clean, simple and beginner-friendly so getting around the platform doesn't take much effort. Lead management works well making it simple to follow deals and understand sales progress at a glance. It also helps teams work together better by keeping customer data and communication visible to everyone who needs it. On top of that, the automation features cut down time spent on repetitive work by taking care of things like follow-ups and email tracking automatically. Customer support is usually helpful too, particularly on paid plans which makes it feel like a complete CRM option.

Cons

Looking up specific information or moving between different tools can take a bit longer especially when you're dealing with a large volume of data. Even with that, the platform is still powerful and works well for growing businesses.

“powerful features that help a lot”

Pros

It comes with a huge range of features and there's a lot you can do with the tool. It helps our team a lot in our day-to-day work.

Cons

It isn't always very simple and the support material is not consistently up to date. It would be good if they improved that.

“Free crm with broad integrations”

Pros

HubSpot CRM has been a really valuable option for us for two big reasons. First, it's free and lets a small business keep an unlimited contact list which is a huge advantage. Second, it connects with almost any third-party platform so whenever we start using a new tool, we can quickly bring our contact list over from HubSpot without much trouble.

Cons

One part still feels a bit confusing or maybe I'm just not setting it up the right way. It hasn't happened only once or twice either.. pretty much every time I import contacts from Excel, this tool ends up creating new properties if every field isn't mapped exactly right.

“user-friendly layout and navigation”

Pros

After more than a year of using this tool it has been pretty simple to learn and use. I'm not very technical so having a clean layout and simple navigation has made a big difference for me.

Cons

Some of the more advanced tools are a bit tougher to figure out, while the basic features are very simple. In some cases, you have to dig a little deeper to find the specific functions your company may need.

“all your contacts in one place”

Pros

Having all my contact information centralized in one place is the part I appreciate most. If you prefer keeping track of a lot of details and managing plenty of information without it feeling overwhelming, this is a really solid option.

Cons

The part I'm less happy with is the pricing. HubSpot delivers a lot of value but the cost climbs pretty fast once you add more contacts or need access to more advanced features. For a small business or anyone just getting started, that pricing can feel a bit out of reach.

“Hubspot CRM was worth it”

Pros

Our team came to this CRM later than we should have but adopting it turned out to be one of the best decisions we've made. I'm honestly obsessed with it now. The platform feels very user-friendly, simple and it delivers a lot of value for what we're paying.

Cons

There was a bit of a learning curve at first so it took me some time to get fully comfortable with the CRM. Once I got the hang of it though, it became incredibly useful for my day-to-day work.

“all-in-one sales powerhouse”

Pros

Everything for sales, marketing and customer service is brought together in one clean, visually appealing platform that's simple to navigate and work in. It does an excellent job of organizing contacts and is very effective for managing leads across the entire sales cycle. On top of that the team offers really helpful resources and strong customer support when you're on a paid plan.

Cons

One downside to HubSpot CRM is the cost which can climb pretty quickly for larger organizations with big contact databases or more advanced custom automation needs. It's a very solid fit for small to mid-sized businesses but at the enterprise level especially with thousands of contacts or clients, it can become quite expensive.

“Clean dashboard and organized workflow”

Pros

I like having everything in one place for managing contacts and tasks as it makes a big difference. It's convenient to track emails and communication, keeps work organized and the dashboard feels clean and user friendly.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve at first especially for beginners. A few features are only available on paid plans, it takes time to get familiar with all the tools and the notifications can feel overwhelming sometimes.

“helpful contact and deal tracking”

Pros

This platform has been a really useful way to keep all contact information in one place, stay on top of sales deal progress and schedule follow-ups without losing track of anything.

Cons

Not much to dislike but I do think the process of creating deals and the way they're displayed visually could be better.

“Best crm for sales teams”

Pros

I think this software has been a really handy platform for handling both sales activity and admin work. It comes with strong features that make managing everything much more efficient and overall it's a very reliable CRM.

Cons

One thing that can be frustrating is how company records sometimes get duplicated which makes things feel messy. I just wish there were a simpler way to keep it organized or clean things up because aside from that, the system itself feels flawless.

“clean interface”

Pros

Right from the start the interface feels simple, clean and simple. Everything is designed so that even beginners can quickly understand and use the features without feeling lost. The tools are well organized which makes getting started fast and simple.

Cons

No negative feedback. It's a very good tool for managing customers and sales and it remains very simple to use.

“everything in one place”

Pros

It's nice having all the information I need kept together in one place.

Cons

I don't enjoy having to log in again after being inactive for a while. I'm also not a fan of the double verification required during sign-in.

“useful email tracking but pricey scaling”

Pros

One part of the service I still really value is the email add-on. It makes it simple to add email contacts straight into the CRM and helps keep track of opens and ongoing communication which is genuinely useful.

Cons

The biggest challenge is still the cost of growing with the platform. For a small business it becomes very expensive so it feels like long-term use will be limited since moving up to the next tier may not be realistic.

“Creates articles& tracks tickets”

Pros

HubSpot works well as a CRM and I also use it to create Knowledge Base articles that we add to our platform plus we use the helpdesk as our ticketing system to support clients on projects.

Cons

The website's navigation confusing as it's not always easy to locate certain tabs or tools and occasionally the email templates I rely on vanish unexpectedly.

“Custom fields inside contacts”

Pros

I liked that I could create custom fields in HubSpot and have them show up right inside contact records and even though the records are not fully customizable, being able to add our own fields was really useful. Overall I truly value a CRM that offers that kind of flexibility.

Cons

If your company is not large with many teams and pipelines, this tool can feel like too much. Like I found myself changing how we worked just to use features we did not really need, just to make the cost feel worth it. Also it is expensive and built in modules so even simple things often require an extra purchase or upgrade. So if you want a simple, lean tech stack, this is not a good fit. For a smaller setup, the pricing and structure made it more of a hassle than a help.
