Marketo’s inbound capabilities were quite limited and were more focused on outbound, email automation, and tracking. Even leveraging those capabilities was cumbersome; the user interface was not as intuitive as HubSpot’s.
HubSpot is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. It's built for marketers and not just developers. With a bit of training, someone that has just onboarded can roll out a campaign in only two or three weeks. We couldn’t do that with Marketo.
The tech stack HubSpot provides has had massive impacts to our productivity and ongoing improvements to our marketing and sales processes.

Marketo is a well-known, powerful product. But it can feel dated, complex, and challenging to use. HubSpot, on the other hand, helps you helps you launch campaigns quickly with powerful tools that aren’t overpowering. HubSpot Marketing Studio helps you collaboratively plan, generate, and repurpose content across email, SMS, web, social, ads, podcast, video, and more using AI - all consistent with your brand voice. Plus, you can even create custom AI assistants to further streamline your work and launch campaigns quickly.

Marketo is great for nurturing leads and accounts, but it lacks tools to grow demand and acquire new customers. HubSpot is a complete, full-funnel marketing solution for attracting, nurturing, and engaging customers. Generate leads with HubSpot ads, social, websites, SEO, AI search optimization, customer agent, and more. Plus, HubSpot helps you convert those leads with tools like lead and company scoring, buyer intent, account-based marketing, and prospecting agent.

Marketo is a strong marketing automation platform, but it’s not a CRM and does not include unified customer profiles. HubSpot Marketing Hub, on the other hand, includes a Smart CRM, which provides a single, unified view of the customer. This helps you drive deeper personalization and insights with tools like Personalization Agent, dynamic AI email personalization, and customer journey pathfinder. You can even bring in external datasets with Data Studio, and enrich your data further with Data Agent.
