    I'd recommend HubSpot Service Hub for sure. When switching from a different platform to HubSpot Service Hub orgs and admins can count with a vast number of trainings in HubSpot Academy and most of them are free. This means users will find the resources they need without needing to reach for their superiors for training sessions or guidance.

    The idea of Sugar Serve, is similar to SugarCRM, so I feel more comfortable implementing it, thanks to having used SugarCRM in the past. It allows us to change and adapt the design to be able to use it according to the needs of my department and according to the goals of our company. It is a great help to have the customization that Sugar Serve offers us. If we want to connect to an external service, we just contact our IT staff to develop a module that connects internally via API.

    Cons
    HubSpot
    • We've had some issues setting up the Client Portal functionality because we merged with another company and are still operating under two domains; Setting up the Client Portal could be easier or they could provide better support to help us work through it
    • We've been able to do everything we need to do with HubSpot Service Hub

    SugarCRM
    • The interface that works with other systems is not ready, it lacks extensibility by default.
    • It necessitates the presence of a responsible someone with some programming skills.
    • The problem is especially noticeable with custom objects. Elements that should be removed remain, or an error occurs, making it a bit useless.

    Usability
    HubSpot
    I'd give it a 9 or 10 for the survey functionality because that is what we use regularly. I left it at an eight because we don't yet have experience with some of the other functionalities within the ServiceHub. Based on our demos, the ticketing system and the ChatBot are great, and we look forward to adding them soon.

    HubSpot [Service Hub] had many integrations we needed to connect to our CRM, and the cost was just right from them VS the others. We had to look at all the features, and HubSpot CRM just had way more than the others and more bang for your buck. So the Service Hub was just a bonus with their CRM tools.

    Return on Investment
    HubSpot
    • Easy to keep track of leads and track their journey into becoming a customer. For example, we can tell which leads open what emails and target people differently to help increase sales.
    • Even though HubSpot Service Hub is very expensive, I do think it is worth the price because we can keep track of all leads/ customers very easy, track the customer journey, rework emails with AI, etc.
    • HubSpot Service Hub also has reporting so you can track everything which helps to improve our sales

    • The contents managed by Excel are migrated so that employees can consult and update them at any time from the browser.
    • It is simple and versatile, so it can be used both by the work team and in all departments involved in the system, simplifying the management of processes, and collaboration and documentation
    • It allows us to check visually and comprehensively, the status of the company and each of its members in an easy-to-understand way. Which facilitates decision-making and help desk CRM integration
