What makes HubSpot different?
Campaign reporting

Launch campaigns with ease

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement campaigns are distinct from Salesforce Sales Cloud campaigns. The two products must be integrated, and even then, they don’t have a perfect one-to-one relationship. HubSpot offers a single, integrated campaigns tool that better aligns marketing and sales teams.

Advanced marketing reporting

Deliver impact fast

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is cumbersome to use, and its built-in reporting is limited. HubSpot is easy to use and includes powerful analytics, empowering your team to focus less on your tools and more on what’s driving your business.

Contact Record

Unify marketing operations

The Salesforce ecosystem is vast and requires numerous connectors and integrations. HubSpot is a unified customer platform built on one, seamless code-base with a shared view of the customer across teams.
