Building landing pages was more technical in Salesforce than we could have imagined and beyond the capability of my team. We needed an outside developer to hard code them... HubSpot has removed the barrier for our smaller teams and brands that don’t necessarily have the technical expertise on staff.
The version of Salesforce we had was clunky and inefficient. We couldn’t automate it the way we wanted, which limited what we could do… HubSpot automation frees up our time to do other important things, like strategy, outreach, and events.

It was almost impossible for our admins to get a Salesforce support specialist on the phone, and they had no chat functionality… Without HubSpot, Checkwriters would be back in the Dark Ages. Today, our entire team can get the information they need to complete the job for each customer. It’s a fantastic tool for sales and marketing teams that want to increase communication, nimbleness and flexibility.
Plan, launch, and iterate on full-funnel marketing campaigns fast with HubSpot’s Marketing Studio, Content Remix, and Breeze Agents. Easily generate and repurpose content across email, SMS, web, social, ads, podcast, video, and more using AI - all consistent with your brand voice. Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement, on the other hand, is primarily focused primarily on mobile messaging (email, SMS, and push notifications). It does not include marketing channels like social, ads, or messaging. And Agentforce Campaigns are more limited and are built on a separate product.
Use Breeze to easily build, enrich, and activate segments using your marketing, CRM, web visitor, and external data with HubSpot Data Studio and Data Agent. Then, generate content variations by segment, analyze segment performance, and visualize customer journeys - all within HubSpot. With Salesforce, you need Marketing Cloud Next, Data Cloud, Personalization, and Marketing Intelligence - all separate products - for similar functionality. Even then, Salesforce doesn’t offer tools like HubSpot Data Enrichment or Customer Journey Pathfinder natively.
HubSpot helps you manage the entire customer lifecycle from acquisition to retention across channels with powerful tools that work for customer- and account-based marketing. Plus, we’re innovating for emerging channels with built in tools for AI search optimization, podcast, video, social, and more. Salesforce, on the other hand, requires separate products and doesn’t support these emerging channels. Marketing Cloud Engagement is designed for B2C. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is a separate product designed for B2B. And Marketing Cloud Next is yet another distinct product that is not yet ready to replace either.

HubSpot helps teams attract more leads, better nurture prospects, and manage their customer relationships more effectively — all on one connected platform with transparent pricing.
Salesforce pricing may look pretty straightforward, but it’s layered with add-ons and supplemental costs for things like support, training, data & file storage, administration, segmentation, ad platform data sync, personalization, marketing analytics, and more!
Yes, HubSpot includes customized reports, interactive dashboards, advanced analytics, customer journey tracking, and marketing performance monitoring - all of which facilitate better data-driven decision making, strategy development, and marketing optimization.
Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement, on the other hand, requires the Intelligence Reports Advanced add-on for custom reports and dashboards.
HubSpot prioritizes customer data security with strong data encryption, compliance, regular audits, role-based permissions, and strict password policies. With a robust disaster recovery plan and secure cloud infrastructure, HubSpot provides ongoing monitoring and enhancement of its security measures.
Salesforce requires add-ons for things like enhanced security, privacy, and encryption.
