HubSpot Marketing Hub vs. MARMIND

As I said previously, I was not a fan at the beginning because, like everyone, I don't take change so well. Once I started following leads through HubSpot Marketing Hub, I integrated it with my email and created templates for what I needed, I started to see the positives immediately. My time working was better spent as I eliminated time put in routine tasks. I was able to track all communication in HubSpot Marketing Hub, we created systems in the office assigning tasks to one another and, through HubSpot Marketing Hub, our leads were able to book meetings in my calendar automatically. To be honest, if you are in sales and marketing, I cannot think of scenarios where HubSpot Marketing Hub cannot help. All I would like to say is, when using templates, pay attention to where you send them - you may need some personalization. I would encourage the management of HubSpot Marketing Hub to create short tutorials for beginners like me who need to configure and start using various features: setting up deals, templates, and dashboards.

MARMIND helps for the simple and complete structuring of complex marketing efforts. MARMIND is great support for marketing automation with room atop. We did communicate better within our marketing team. It was a big performance enhancement throughout marketing. MARMIND is easy and comfortable to learn and use with no delay starting. The adaption to our needs and wishes was really great and left a tight binding to it. We are convinced that the support by MARMIND was a great help and sustain to our intents. We realized that we did the very right decision to change to this marketing platform. We gained more overview and control in the right mixture between grossness and detail. We change after the first success with all our marketing to it. This change was really a no-timer and we were very satisfied with this change and the change in the underlying strategies. The app shortened our processes and made us enhance every step of them. The overall result was a closer communication at the more motivating steps of the marketing processes and a great plus in employee satisfaction. We had several impressive feedback loops and are convinced we will still make several in the future. The notifications, annotations, commentaries, assets, and drafts gave us an important new perspective on which we will develop our company further. Setting targets and arranging better-pre informed meetings and events in the marketing team and with external companies and customers enhanced our experiences.

• All-in-one software - the main thing HubSpot does well is the breadth of functionality.
• Easy of use - personally, I find it more intuitive than Marketo, which is the other MAP that I know well.
• Ads - I like that we can drill down on ads by channel, ad group, campaign, and even create and see performance data at each level.

Incentivized

• Analysis of advertising campaigns.
• Marketing calendar management.
• Content and channel management.
• Overall project management.

• While Hubspot has added some collaborative tools, I think this could improve. I'd like to see more options to comment on emails and ways of being able to share out changes as well as approval channels.
• The ability to update ads via the calendar is pretty cumbersome. There's no good way to bulk edit or update. You have go into each one individually.
• Real time edits would be nice. If you have multiple people working on the same thing, you'll get kicked out and your changes might not be saved.

• We would like a local installation.
• We would love an Apple platform version.
• A mobile client would be a help.
• A chat support would be a plus.
• More connectivity to marketing automation tools would be a great improvement.

Our business relies on the HubSpot platform to manage our marketing, sales and CRM processes. HubSpot marketing automation helps us define our activities and streamlines them in a cohesive and efficient way. Without HubSpot, we will have to revert to the 'old way' of doing everything with a variety of disparate systems.

While there are some frustrating things that pop up unexpectedly ("wait... I can't do X?"), I have found HubSpot to be easy to use and extremely helpful to my daily work. The documentation is really good, and when it's not helpful, the support staff have been amazing.

They have had issues with system availability over the course of days. Sometimes the system is unusable, other times updates simply take a long time to show up. It's better now but, from a reliaibility standpoint, HubSpot is not Salesforce.com yet. Still great software though.

With all the new features in HubSpot, the system can get a tad slow sometimes... That said, most of the time it is lightning fast and I have no problems. Because most of the integrations are API, they silently work in the background. I have not had trouble with lag due to HubSpot integration

During the few times I've needed it, HS support has been accessible, helpful and efficient. Often rolling up their sleeves to make changes for you as opposed to leaving you with a list of instructions to decipher on your own.

I did the 2-day classroom at HubSpot's corporate office in Cambridge. First off, it was amazing to see their corporate office in general. They have such a cool office environment. But it was also great to have the ability to learn in a workshop format with other HubSpot users and meet my Account Manager/ Inbound Marketing Consultant in person.

I went through Inbound Marketing University in 2006. Great training and helped my transition from traditional (outbound) marketing to inbound marketing that I've been able to apply to a number of businesses from wastewater and water reuse, to professional services and SaaS. Share information of value to build awareness and trust. Answer customers' questions in a transparent way to generate more qualified leads. Understand the difference between a marketing qualified lead and a sales qualified lead and put together a lead nurturing program. Your sales and marketing efforts will see significant ROI.

My biggest piece of advice for those who are implementing Hubspot is that you need to devote the time up front and learn how to use the product. Once you learn how to use Hubspot, it will be much more effective as well as much easier to use in the long run

Other competing software such as Zoho and Boomtown may have more bells and whistles, but it is too cumbersome and has many parts that only advanced users can operate. With HubSpot, each function is within reach of the average agent. It doesn't overpromise and then makes you feel incompetent when you can't use it all...

MARMIND had a better efforts-to-outcome factor. We consider it for our needs as much more suitable. This is a matter of scale and resources. We loved MARMIND from the very first impressions. It stimulates our company marketing efforts very much. The overview is very satisfactory. The software suited very well the educational level of our employees and made them quick very successful users. The role concepts matched very much our own. We are convinced that will still are in progress in getting better at MARMIND in all modules and with all processes. We consider ourselves at a very good level in using the software integrated tool landscape of MARMIND. It is stimulating and very satisfactory to plan, create, and evaluate marketing efforts of all kinds. We stopped leaving out marketing or procrastinating it. The overview is overwhelming. Everyone has great feedback and can watch the progress in the company. This is former missing feedback. So MARMIND transformed our company a lot not only our marketing. Because of the high standards in the modules that are implemented the difference may not be so big. The process standards are compliant and it is more or less a matter of personal preferences between the different brands.

HubSpot is addressing this more and more. Currently you can assign tasks to designated sales teams, which grow as you grow. They've added free baseline products for those just getting started. These and more contribute to the scalability of HubSpot - so I gave it an 8 and am hoping for more in the future!
