Hive is great for managing projects with your team. Assigning tasks is simple enough using Hive. It helps manage team goals for the projects. We are able to create reports (via the dashboard) for the progress and updates to provide to the team based on completed stages. Works great for bigger projects.

Most of our clients are either government institutions or Education sector clients, such as universities, colleges, Coaching Institutes, and Competitive boards. We store their data in a single place. That means we can keep our one client's data in one place without any confusion. Our data is always clear and understandable while it is in HubSpot CRM.

Pros
  • Data warehousing: Hive is often used as a data warehousing platform, allowing users to store and analyze large amounts of structured and semi-structured data. It is especially good at handling data that is too large to be stored and analyzed on a single machine, and supports a wide variety of data formats.
  • Batch processing: Hive is designed for batch processing of large datasets, making it well-suited for tasks such as data ETL (extract, transform, load), data cleansing, and data aggregation.
  • Data transformation: Hive allows users to perform data transformations and manipulations using custom scripts written in Java, Python, or other programming languages. This can be useful for tasks such as data cleansing, data aggregation, and data transformation.
  • Integration with other tools: Hive integrates with a wide variety of other tools and services in the Hadoop ecosystem, such as Pig, Spark, and HBase, allowing users to perform a wide range of data analysis and management tasks.

  • The ability to create marketing campaigns and have control over when to stop and when to send the next according to your cadence design is excellent. However the ability to see the performance and the history for each prospect is so simple and so accessible - I kicked myself for not getting it sooner.
  • Having one place to create companies and contacts as well as score leads and track all contract products means we don't have to miss any renewals.
  • The Deal tracker gives us the ability to track multiple pipelines as well as team and individual metrics like average sale, percentage of goal, contribution to team effort which when mixed with an activity tracker means the team stays lean and mean to crush all goals.
  • The real time chat feature means prospects can navigate to our landing page for info about us, levels of product availability, pricing and begin a quick chat with members of the sales and support team.
  • Intel features along with lead scoring, SEO integration, podcasts and white papers all combine to be the most comprehensive CRM you could need.

Cons
  • Organizing tasks by assignees could be better. It's a little cumbersome to check off each person you want. Can you group these?
  • I don't really use any view besides task view. Is there something better I could be using?
  • It would be nice if attachments showed up in a nicer format, maybe with a preview?

  • At times, it feels like there are too many options, which can be overwhelming when trying to grasp all that it has to offer fully.
  • The reporting features are lacking. It can be challenging to pull and export reports to share with users who are not on Hubspot.
  • It appears to have more issues with Windows; it consistently logs out and requires re-login to the CRM and the HubSpot Outlook add-on.

To be honest there are some barriers due to which we are unable to use Hubspot at it's full potentials. The region that we work in has some restrictions that don't allow us to make calls or text which leaves us to just Email to the client.

Usability
Its a easy tool, the best way to organize the workflow but has room for more improvements.

Once you are set up with HubSpot CRM, it becomes difficult to use any other tool, as it integrates you into the workflow and makes it a habit to log in to HubSpot to identify tasks for the day. The overall ease of use is also a brilliant factor in using HubSpot. They push you towards deal closure and revenue generation.

Support Rating
Our CSR is easily accessible and they have support built into the app itself. They also have a pretty robust support site. We also took advantage of the free trial and learned so much by putting Hive through the paces and figuring out the best way to mold it to our needs.

Because when I needed help HubSpot responded immediately and provided me with the information I needed which enabled me to realize that HubSpot was even more customizable and easier to use than I thought! And I already thought HubSpot was very user friendly and easy to use, and then Support showed me how to manipulate the settings, columns and the appearance of the tool.

If you've had any prior experience with cloud based marketing automation or group communication tools, you can do the implementation without paid outside support. Though getting to a SLA (service level agreement) would be best achieved with the help of a third party who can facilitate

Alternatives Considered
One key difference between Hive and Spark is the way they process data. Hive is a batch-oriented system, which means that it is designed to process large amounts of data in a batch mode rather than in real-time. In contrast, Spark is a real-time processing platform that is designed to handle streaming data and support interactive queries. Another difference is the way they execute queries. Hive uses a SQL-like query language called HiveQL, while Spark supports a wide range of languages and APIs, including SQL, Python, Scala, and R. But we chose Hive due to its simple queries on large datasets and for data warehousing tasks.

  • Gave a ton of visibility into user and sales funnel.
  • Able to get back to new signups or inbound leads much faster, sometimes within minutes. We have a Slack integration that's super helpful.
  • Saved hours each week that were earlier spent digging through emails or spreadsheets for context; meetings are a lot shorter because it is super easy to go through the created reports.
