We performed a comparison between HubSpot Marketing Hub and Marketo based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Marketing Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Marketing Hub does an incredible job of tracking and updating client records. The reporting has been enhanced, so you can do just about any type of reporting with it and export to Excel if necessary. They just came out with a considerable upgrade a few months ago, which really helped on the reporting side."
"We are now able to manage and measure content (blogs, CTAs, and landing pages)."
"Technical support is helpful and responsive."
"With 18 companies to manage, manual handling would be impractical. HubSpot's automation facilitates pre-scheduling, greatly enhancing our efficiency."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is a straightforward process."
"It has eased managing the sales team and the sales journey right from setting up appointments."
"Customer support is helpful and responsive."
"HubSpot is a very helpful solution."
"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."
"I like that the solution is flexible."
"The product has been stable."
"The main feature of Marketo is sending out emails, so that would be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."
"The smart campaign looks quite interesting and useful."
"It is a very user-friendly solution. I'm mainly working on Design Studio, which is useful for companies in tracking repeat users. The progressive proofing is also useful. It is not available in other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the scoring."
"The way the staff uses the system sometimes leads to processes not being followed."
"There are some issues with HubSpot Marketing Hub with receiving notifications. It was too difficult to understand, and it requires a lot of effort. Configuration could be simplified."
"They're not the cheapest."
"The product is not cheap."
"It can be disorienting when they put out a new release/beta test without informing us. It can be a bit disorienting to have to figure out how to access and adjust things in a new layout unexpectedly."
"The search and questions aren't as intuitive as I would expect from a platform like this."
"The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns."
"The solution does not enable one to know with certainty if another opened an email he had sent."
"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."
"The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects."
"Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API."
"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."
"For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this."
"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages."
"It could be more scalable."
"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation."
