What are customers saying?

HubSpot Marketing Hub received G2's top 100 Best Software Products & Highest Satisfaction Products 2023
HubSpot was recognized as a leader on Gartner's 2022 B2B Marketing Automation Magic Quadrant.

The biggest thing that's different with HubSpot is that it eliminates the obstacle to getting our marketing done. With marketing software that we used in the past, we would try to create a campaign or develop lead scoring, but the barrier to execution was too high. It just seemed overly complex or we would have needed to hire a consultant. We would never end up getting it done. When we switched to HubSpot, those obstacles were removed. We now can do things quickly and efficiently.
