HubSpot Sales Tools vs Salesforce
Pricing,
Pardot –
Capability differences between products:
Calling capabilities: softphone vs HubSpot calling (Aircall integration)
Reporting features (HubSpot add on)
What our clients say:
“I was so dead set on going with Salesforce because I’m so familiar with it and I’m so glad you pushed us to HubSpot – I’m LOVING it! It’s so much cleaner, more intuitive and overall easier to use.”
What Salespeople love about HubSpot: less ‘clicking around’ – you get to what you need faster, interface is much better, access to the automation side makes it way easier to update lists of contacts at a time…
From Erica:
I would highly recommend reviewing the side by side comparison of HubSpot and Pardot to start. One of the biggest differences between HubSpot and Pardot is that HubSpot is a complete Marketing, Sales and Service Platform, whereas Pardot focuses mainly on marketing automation like email drip campaigns and lead scoring. HubSpot also has marketing automation, lead scoring, and a robust Salesforce integration, but we also have many top and bottom-of-the-funnel tools that Pardot does not. Simply put, marketing automation is an important piece of the puzzle, but it’s not an end to end solution, which is why it’s only a part of what HubSpot does.
HubSpot has everything a modern marketer needs to do marketing right, in an all-in-one easy-to-use product. HubSpot’s platform includes tools for SEO, blogging, social media, email, automated workflows, landing pages, lead intelligence and analytics for each and every tool, to help marketers make smarter decisions to help their businesses grow. You can see the full list of our products here.
Tools aside, one of the most stark differences in the experience of a HubSpot vs. a Pardot customer is the level of education, training, and support you’ll receive. Below I’ve outlined some of these differences for you.
