In the marketing automation world, two platforms dominate most conversations: Pardot (now called Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) and HubSpot Marketing Hub. Both have strong reputations, loyal user bases, and deep integrations with CRM systems.

This is where a HubSpot API integration is necessary.
