HubSpot CMS HUB is a great fit for $1 Million+ orgs looking to take the next step in their online marketing and presence. If you need a more streamlined approach to your website, with more purposeful tools to convert online visitors, HubSpot CMS HUB is definitely at the top of the list. The only scenario where HubSpot CMS HUB would not work well is for e-commerce sites looking to sell directly on their main site. HubSpot does not cater to e-commerce and would be a poor fit for online stores selling their products

I think the filters within the custom fields and custom details is its strongest feature for us. So I would say, the more content you have, the more use you'll get out of Kapost, especially if you need to organize your content in a lot of different ways (as we do for our targeted marketing). We still format edit/publish blogs via WordPress (although we put the draft in Kapost), but blogs aren't necessarily our #1 thing. Perhaps, for people who are really blog-centric, another platform may be better. Kapost is really good, I think, for copy that has a lot of hands on it, and can really benefit from well-structured work flows and a really comprehensive metadata system.

  • Sets you up with a strategist. You are able to be in constant communication through Kapost with your strategist and send one another working proofs and comments.
  • Unity - it has made all our email campaigns have a similar look and feel. Kapost has shown results on the appropriate amount of images to use and the type of language that works.
  • Stay on track - each person is notified when the role before theirs is complete so they know when it is their turn to act upon something.

Cons
  • Although you can integrate it with Google Analytics, there is still a significant difference between what each tells you about [a] number of visitors to a given page, etc.
  • There's a lot to the program and it's not always intuitive where to go for a feature. Though the help center and academy are good and usually have the answers, having to look things up isn't.
  • It's expensive.

  • Search is valuable but the key words seem to take a while for the system to find, I have to use multiple word choices or switch to a specific collection.
  • I think some type of links from search could be useful.
  • Layout isn't the prettiest.

I don't think we justify the amount of usage we have of CMS Hub professional. We might discontinue it to save some bucks. But if we ever need an extensive solution, we'll come back to it, as we already other products of Hubspot (Sales Hub, Reporting, Automations)

We are using some other systems that might have replaced Kapost, but none of them had the workflow functionality we were looking for. So, we're sticking with Kapost for now.

Usability
HubSpot CMS Hub provides small, medium and even large companies with the basic requirements to launch their marketing business, but to provide an all-in-1 solution will take some more time and creativity to avoid the necessity of working with competitors to complete the package.

The calendar view is a great feature and so are the custom views. It is relatively easy to see a clear view of what content the user is responsible for and then the due dates associated to it. The ability to create and update workflows for the team is easy to navigate and keeps us on track.

The reputation of the product matches up to its reputation as one of the leaders in the space. I love that you can share and access content at your fingertips from anywhere. The downside is that it does not have the prettiest interface but you can get over this with its functionality.

Alternatives Considered
it is a much much simpler tool to use, the pick up and go nature of the software lends well to a busy team. with minimal training almost everyone can figure out the software just playing around with it. and if you want to learn more complex parts of the system there is the academy to help

I've used basic tools like SharePoint in the past as a content repository, but it's not user friendly, not well organized, hard to manage and not well-suited for marketing content (version control issues, etc. ). Get a dedicated tool!

  • When I was using it I couldn't see the direct return on investment since I was only seeing web development.
  • Practicality when creating articles and content
  • Efficiency when creating landing pages, basically content and interactions, but no return on investment in money.

  • Kapost streamlined a lot of different processes across marketing.
  • We hope that people are finding assets they need rather than requesting new ones get created.
  • Having a central location for assets has helped to prevent outdated documents from appearing in different locations.
