   I dont understand the hype

   I have used HubSpot, and I’ll be honest it wasn’t love at first use. People hype it as the all-in-one marketing/crm/sales tool, but for me it often felt more complicated than it needed to be.

   First off, the interface looks clean, but navigating deep menus and figuring out where things live took longer than I expected. Especially as a smaller user not an enterprise team it sometimes felt like I was learning a giant software just to do basic things like setting up an email or tracking a lead.

   The CRM itself works fine in theory, but customizing fields and pipelines was way clunkier than other CRMs I’ve tried. I felt like I was bending the tool to my process instead of the other way around and that’s backwards in my book.

   Another thing: some features feel half-baked or overly complex, especially if you’re not a marketing automation pro. Workflows, sequences, analytics they’re powerful, but they also require a lot of clicking and re-reading help docs before you get them right.

   And then there’s pricing. HubSpot’s free plan looks great on paper, but you hit limits fast and once you upgrade, it gets pricey quick for what you actually use. I ended up feeling like I was paying for a lot of features I barely touched.

   That said, HubSpot does have strengths it integrates a ton of tools under one roof and works well if you’re already deeply invested in their ecosystem. But for me personally? It never clicked the way simpler, more intuitive platforms did.

   Bottom line: HubSpot is solid and powerful, but I didn’t love it felt too big, too complex, and not really tailored to the way I work.

   Great CRM for Small and Growing Sales Teams

   We started with Hubspot and it has served us well for over 3 years now. Its a straight forward CRM that serves the needs of our sales team well without overcomplicating things with hard to configure settings or other functionality we don't need. The user interface is much easier to navigate compared to other CRMs I worked with in previous roles.

   🏁 Competitors: Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM

   👍 Pros:    Easy to use ui|Great for small teams who just need a crm that works|Easy to get started with

   👎 Cons:    Lacks some of the more advanced features that require custom integration work, but we haven't needed those at our company.

• Issue with mouse hover

  I've just installed Sonoma and it works mostly ok. Though I've ran into this issue where the OS doesn't seem to know where my mouse is until I click. The cursor itself is displayed where it should be and all, but if I right click something on the dock then I can't really click anything in the menu. If I hold the right click and then hover to what I want to do in the menu then it works. I also went to the website... Source: over 2 years ago
