Getting Started with Hubspot.com is very easy. Just go to hubspot.com and start a 7 day free trial. The process is simple and took me about 1 hour to watch an intro video, get familiar with my account operation, review suggested keywords and install a hubspot tracking code on our website.
On the other hand, getting started with Joomla CMS has always been a big pain. You had to download a free Joomla package and set it up on your hosting account. A small business user also may try to unzip the downloaded file locally and figure out how to run the software on their own computer. While Joomla installation process can be very easy, based on your hosting provider, it could be a real nightmare as well and you could end up wasting countless hours unless you know what you’re doing (Example: adjusting server hosting or php parameters)
While many hosting providers do allow for 1 click Joomla install, many small businesses don’t know how to find them or where to look. Luckily and despite mixed reactions from the open source community, CloudAccess has been awarded to host new Joomla demo sites. Now you can testdrive Joomla CMS free for 30 days at
demo.joomla.org The cloudaccess sign up process is not nearly as smooth as the one with hubspot but I expect to see it improved in the coming months.
