Is HubSpot an Enterprise CRM?
Sometimes people think silly things: the moon is made of cheese; the Chicago Bears are a good football team; HubSpot is not an enterprise level CRM.
When I hear peple utter that last line, I wonder if they fell asleep sometime in 2012, went into full Rip Van Winkle mode, and then woke up in 2024 still believing the same thing. That’s really the only logical explanation for thinking such a thing.
Here’s why:

Breaking Down HubSpot Enterprise Onboarding by Hub
Onboarding for HubSpot customers is essential, especially at the enterprise onboarding HubSpot level, to maximize your CRM investment. This is especially true if you are a large company with robust needs and therefore require the enterprise level for your crm. This level will provide advanced solutions for organizing and consolidating customer data, thereby creating a more efficient sales process. With HubSpot marketing enterprise onboarding, you gain access to deeper integrations and analytics capabilities.
Purchasing HubSpot’s enterprise level is like purchasing a Ferrari (your HubSpot onboarding fee is waaaay less expensive though, don’t worry!). When you make a first-class purchase, you need first-class service. Just as you wouldn't take your new Ferrari to one of those 10 minute/$20 oil change places, you don’t want to onboard in the most basic way possible for your enterprise level hub.
When you onboard directly through HubSpot, there will be several offerings at the enterprise level that will not be present with HubSpot onboarding services at the professional level. They are as follows:
