The SyncSmart ConnectWise HubSpot Integration vs. The Competition

November 29, 2022


Are you looking to get the most out of your ConnectWise and HubSpot data? Integrating your two systems allows you to automate marketing, improve sales processes, beef up reporting, and much more.

But what provider should you choose for your ConnectWise HubSpot integration? Let’s look at your options.

Zapier

Zapier lets you send new HubSpot contacts and their related data to ConnectWise Manage. Their integration works off of built-in “triggers” and “actions.” For example, when a new contact is available in HubSpot, a trigger called “New Contact” happens in ConnectWise Manage instantly. There are several other triggers and actions that you can pick when you’re setting up the integration.

What Zapier syncs:

  • HubSpot contacts -> ConnectWise Manage contacts

Other things to note about this integration:

  • It is self-managed, with a few knowledge base articles to help you set up.
  • It is also self-implemented and takes around three minutes to authenticate, pick your triggers and actions, and choose the exact data you want to send from one app to the other.
  • Zapier does not have a support team.
  • It’s lightweight compared to others — the integration does not sync opportunities or deals, and it is only one-way. In contrast, others are bidirectional (what happens in one system occurs in the other).

Price: Free

Integrate.io

Integrate.io offers a more in-depth ConnectWise HubSpot integration. It is a full-service integration solution provider, unlike Zapier, and similar to our services at SyncSmart. Also, unlike Zapier, it offers more objects and bidirectional syncing of certain objects.

What Integratio.io syncs:

  • ConnectWise Contacts <-> HubSpot Contacts
  • ConnectWise Companies <-> HubSpot Companies
  • ConnectWise Opportunities <-> HubSpot Deals
  • ConnectWise Activities <- HubSpot Engagements
  • ConnectWise Projects & Agreements -> HubSpot Timeline
  • ConnectWise Owners <-> HubSpot Owners

What else you need to know about this integration:

  • Users get access to setup, management, and support services.
  • Integrate.io will map standard and custom/fields and properties during the setup. 
  • They designed the integration specifically for managed service, security, and solution providers.

Price: $500 a month for the professional tier and $1,000 a month for the enterprise tier.

Data Sync by HubSpot

Data Sync by HubSpot — launched in 2021 with the announcement of Operations Hub — is a more robust integration solution similar to SyncSmart. It offers a ConnectWise Manage integration. It syncs some objects one way and others bidirectionally.

What Data Sync syncs:

  • ConnectWise Manage catalog items -> HubSpot products
  • ConnectWise Manage companies <-> HubSpot companies
  • ConnectWise Manage contacts <-> HubSpot contacts
  • ConnectWise Manage opportunities <-> HubSpot deals

Like Zapier, it is self-managed and self-implemented, and updates are made in real time as data syncs. Unlike Zapier and Integrate.io, you get historical data syncing with this integration.

Other essential details to be aware of:

  • It syncs all default field mappings for each object
  • Custom field mappings for HubSpot users are available for anyone with Operations Hub Starter and up

However, the Data Sync integration misses critical elements that can leave users hanging, such as:

  • Missing data objects like line items
  • Inability to bring in important data like ConnectWise Manage opportunity price to HubSpot deals
  • Not all companies have domains or unique identifiers for matching specific data
  • Not many customization options, if any
  • No sandbox environment for testing

Price: Free, but the integration requires an Operations Hub and ConnectWise Manage account.
