“BUYER BEWARE - do not go with Hubspot. There is so much bloat and goes from "wow this is a lot for free/low cost" to "why is my invoice 5X higher now" in months.”
“First thing we noticed is that the forms tend to load slow. Much slower than you’d want. Furthermore sometimes the form would say “hidden” and wouldnt even open.”
“Traditional CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce are going to die in the next 5 years. Right now you can keep doing what you are doing and rollout an AI agent and does all the things you want HubSpot to do for you.”
“Haven't run it either, but the fan-out description matches how HubSpot's other intermediary-bridging logic behaves once you move past value-matching, so I'd expect it to hold as documented. Worth checking before you touch anything real: does the new action let you apply a label when it creates the association.”
“If you need to track sales activities and pipelines only, with basic reporting and you are not responsible for marketing activities, try Pipedrive instead. Hubspot becomes quite expensive really quickly.”
“Hubspot is an easy transition. Whether it makes sense to use or not depends on how many people will be using it. If it’s just you, it’s a lot of work to set up and maintain on your own.”
“Hubspot is one of the better options out there and is pretty user friendly. A little more approachable than Salesforce too. I have used both and it sounds like for your needs Hubspot would be fine.”
“i've been looking into hubspot crm because it seems like it could bring most of this together, but i'm wondering if smaller teams actually get enough value from it. does it genuinely reduce admin work?”
