HubSpot Sales Hub vs. PersistIQ

Sales hub is an excellent tool for a sales professional, probably even the best tool available in the industry without a doubt. However it could be much less convenient for outside sales reps that need to consistently meet people in person, it has some features to cater to these reps but they aren't as robust as the ones designed for inside sales reps.

Probably ok if you really don't care who you are sending your outreach to. Really bad for anyone who cares about sending a specific message to a specific audience. Probably not great for clients who enjoy reliable communication, quality results, or actually receiving what you're paying for.

• The sales funnel makes it easy to predict and track how sales development is going.
• It enables us to run all our businesses as a single unified solution using a single system from the ground up.
• It's the catalyst for our digital transformation and works well with HubSpot and other marketing systems.

• Integrates well with tools that work with LinkedIn Sales Navigator to scrap lead emails.
• Makes it easy to manage large-scale cold email campaigns with 3+ steps.
• When a prospect replies to an email, it doesn't send them any of the automated emails which allow me to follow-up with those warm leads correctly.

• I find the interface to be a bit unorganized and sometimes the information added about projects looks clogged which sometimes makes it difficult to access specific information.
• Sometimes we have to deal with different currencies because we have clients all over the world but the exchange rate tool is not always accurate, causing us to slow down our work.

• There are some issues with downloading reports. That is, some information is only available in-product and you cannot export these things.
• Creating dynamic replies or steps in Persist isn't currently available.
• Sometimes the Persist system doesn't catch errors in unfilled prospect fields. One must be check and be careful not to send these types of emails.

HubSpot sales has allowed all of our teams company-wide to communicate and keep all of our information secure and organized. We are able to save time and money by using this platform, and we could not imagine turning back to the way things used to be done. We are so thankful for HubSpot Sales!

Since we launched HubSpot Sales Hub into our organisation's tech stack, we've experienced a smooth transition and implementation process for those using this solution. The ease of use and the interface experience is amazing and that was a main priority for us in the purchasing phase. So far, we've been nothing but very happy with the support, implementation, and ongoing development of our sales team adapting to the solution. Highly recommend it for usability and functionality!

In my opinion, poor service, and in our experience, ignoring our advise on who our customers are.

Usually pretty responsible and friendly and have had my questions circled back on. However, they haven't been able to answer several of the more in-depth questions I have had, but those questions may have been way too nuanced and specific so I would give the benefit of the doubt.

Terrible; non-existent. Weeks without replies, and no improvements in 4 months.

It was not only SUPER easy to implement, we had some amazing support from HubSpot. They scheduled a call to go over each individual tool with our team and provided guidance and best practices plus answered any questions are new users had. It was wonderful and really helped them get started confidently

No other product holds a candle to what HubSpot Sales HUB can do. The usability, feature support, adaptability, scalability, and expandability; no compare. Other solutions are either too specialized, or too out-dated.

Compared to MailChimp, Persist IQ allows for more personalization, simpler emails, and more complete campaigns. MailChimp is basically a tool for bulk email with heavy design. Versus Marketo, PersistIQ is much more user friendly. You don't need to be an engineer or SQL master to use Persist. It's made for sales and marketing folks. Marketo is built for bigger teams with engineers and CRM experts. Marketo is better for nurture campaigns and automated email, plus database management and as a CRM. But Persist is a much lighter option and it's WAY cheaper. I've used the Gmail plug-in for HubSpot and their templates feature. It's not great for bulk email or building out campaigns, but it's nice to have canned messages right in Gmail. To use PersistIQ on the other hand, one must work directly in their system, not in Gmail, although replies and sent messages do go directly though the email provider.
