HubSpot Marketing Hub

It's very easy for anyone to make a beautiful-looking e-blast to send to a mailing list. Managing lists is also very easy and flexible. The default e-mail templates are beautiful and easy to customize, and the drag and drop interface for e-mails is very easy to use and highly customizable.

Some parts of the marketing hub, such as the Form builder, need a little work. Some features available in Wordpress's Gravity Forms plugin, for instance, are not available in Hubspot (e.g. conditional logic for showing certain form elements such as text boxes, etc.) The landing page editor is also not as easy to use as the e-mail builder, and I'm not sure why it wasn't designed with the same drag and drop system as the email builder.

Comprehensive set of marketing tools including email marketing, social media management, landing pages, lead tracking, and more.Intuitive and easy-to-use interface that doesn't require extensive technical expertise.The ability to create customized workflows and automate repetitive marketing tasks.Robust reporting and analytics that provide insights into the performance of your marketing campaigns.Integration with other HubSpot products, such as CRM and Sales Hub, to create a unified marketing, sales, and customer service platform.

The cost can be prohibitive for smaller businesses or startups, with pricing based on the number of contacts in your database.Some features, such as website design and advanced analytics, may require additional add-ons or upgrades to access.The learning curve can be steep for users who are new to marketing automation software or not familiar with inbound marketing strategies.Limited customization options for some features, such as email templates and landing pages, may limit creativity or branding opportunities.

The customer service team is excellent and there is a handy chat function so you don't have to wait on an email response. For social media, you can schedule posts months in advance and view your marketing activities as a monthly calendar. Landing pages are also easy and quick to set up. This is a great tool for smaller organizations with limited contacts or leads to store who need basic marketing support.

The company continues to make unnecessary updates with little notice that often seems to decrease the functionality of the tool until the changes are reversed. Email is very difficult to use as the template you set up views very differently across multiple popular email platforms (to be fair, this is likely an issue with any email automation software). You also have to change your template in a different view pane from your actual email so you're constantly switch back and forth between views for very minor changes. The simplest spacing adjustment takes forever. However, the contact database portion of Hubspot is where we have the most trouble as it's hard to sort and group leads with any way other than by making smart lists or using personas. Your database will get messy fast and there's very little way to clean it if you are a large company which means over time you will be paying for useless leads in your system you cannot find and eliminate.

Ease of set up, quick to get up and running, and can use basic features immediately, with time to assess requirements for additional functionality
