"HubSpot CRM has the most reliable and user-friendly options."
"The most valuable feature of HubSpot CRM is the sequences of sales automation. It allows you to set up a bunch of leads into a sequence, and it automatically generates emails that you can customize on the fly. For example, here's the phone call in the morning, the phone call in the afternoon, the email you sent, and the link to the message you sent."
"HubSpot CRM's most valuable features are that it is straightforward and it gives us most of the things that we need and it is easy to onboard with it. You don't need specific integrations with IT, which is very good. The learning curve for HubSpot CRM is quite easy."
"Hubspot CRM also lets you make calls and send emails directly."
"Easy to use and easy to setup CRM software, with good stability and scalability."
"The user interface is good, and they have built-in capabilities; I can integrate it with LinkedIn or my mailing list."
"Very scalable CRM platform with multiple functions, e.g. marketing, ticketing, and service."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"Once the lead is matured, you can convert it into an opportunity and you can track it by the opportunity based on the product segment."
"Its scalability is good."
"From the bank perspective, it's user-friendly and simple to develop something specific for a certain customer. It allows customization for individual customers rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach."
"The solution is stable."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"HubSpot CRM integration needs improvement."
"We found that automated emails were challenging to manage in the tool. While the feature allows you to create dynamic email templates, it was difficult to tweak and fetch data associated with different objects, such as contacts and custom objects."
"From the perspective of continuous improvements needed in the product, I would want the tool to be able to pull out more information about clients."
"Ease of use is the most essential feature for us. HubSpot is intuitive, so you can learn everything just by exploring and trying it out yourself. The user interface is straightforward, and it's easy to pick that up."
"The scoring functionality in Salesforce is better. HubSpot CRM should improve its scoring feature."

"This solution could be improved if it offered more opportunity to customize how it is used, including adding different rules."
"The product is not very scalable."

"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"When features do get added, we would like the product to notify us in a timely way."
"The solution is slow."
"Content management is one area where SAP CRM could use some work because we were seeking a CRM solution that could store BLOB data, like PDF and email data, which takes up a lot of space in the database. Recently, we migrated to a content server, but it would be nice if CRM had built-in BLOB data management because BLOB data is a challenge we've been dealing with since last year."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"The implementation and integrations could be better. After we went into the production environment, we had some issues. Most of them were with the ERP integration. Many other issues were around the client's integrations between the ERP and CRM platforms. It could be more user-friendly. It wasn't very user-friendly initially, but now it's easier for them to use. Now, the users can use that platform better than at the beginning. We would like to see reports with more analytic features and artificial intelligence in the next release. For example, show more metrics and KPIs and more dynamic dashboards. Because the platform has some models, but it's not easy to use. It's a little complex."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
