Pros
ActiveCampaign
Best visual automation builder in its price class
highly flexible
includes a functional built-in CRM
much more affordable than HubSpot Professional
HubSpot Marketing Hub
Unmatched ease of use compared to Marketo/Eloqua
perfectly unified with HubSpot CRM
active community and education (HubSpot Academy)
replaces 5-6 point solutions
Cons
ActiveCampaign
Built-in CRM is functional but not enterprise-grade
reporting could be deeper
UI can be sluggish with very large automations
HubSpot Marketing Hub
"Jack of all trades, master of none" (e.g., its social tool is weaker than Sprout Social)
steep price jump at Professional tier
can become very expensive as contact database grows
