It may not be the product itself, as it's the marketing team that automatically send my clients this crap and I have no way of preventing it or canceling it. So I've started removing contact email addresses from SF.ย

exactly. and the things they send out are of no use to the clients and makes the AE look like a spammer. I wish we would get rid of Marketo

Hubspot is best on the list but still leaves alot to be desired. Eloqua is a disaster unless setup right, which is rare

@Coffeesforclosers Can you expand on what is to be desired? I've heard great things about Hubspot but it starts to hit a ceiling up in enterprise orgs, just curious where the gaps are for larger companies.

Depends on what you are using it for. If it is you marketing engine, your CRM, and your end all be all for success, it is not enough. If it is just for marketing and watching campaigns drive people to the site it is great. Leadlander is my product of choice for prospecting on who hits my site the most.ย

I sold B2B marketing software that worked with all 4 of those systems (directly sold 1 of those 4). Here's what I learned:ย 

1) They all have pros and cons.
2) What's the rest of the tech stack look like?ย 
3) Is anyone on your team certified in any of those platforms, if not, will you train them? Hire someone who's certified?

If the team isn't willing to invest into it's people to learn their software, the software will fail. It's a computer that takes commands from humans. It doesn't just "work".ย

Secret loop hole with HubSpotโ€ฆ use it as a personal CRM. ย I use it because they only charge you if you use MARKETING HUBSPOT. ย Yes, this rocks.

I use it for the 15m CRM contacts I get with it. ย Itโ€™s awesome!
