Overview

What this migration involves

Raynet CRM organizes data around Contacts, Companies, Deals, and a tier-gated custom properties model (Start caps at 5 custom fields, Professional at 100, Enterprise at 500). Deal types are also tier-gated in Raynet — Start allows only 1 type, Professional allows 5, and Enterprise allows unlimited. HubSpot Sales Hub stores the same core objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals) but uses a fundamentally different schema: deals belong to one HubSpot pipeline (with multiple pipelines available on Professional and above), deal types must be stored as a custom deal property, and custom properties are unlimited at all paid tiers. We migrate contacts with first and last name, email, phone, job title, and address fields mapped directly to HubSpot's standard contact properties. Raynet's custom fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties with type-aware mapping — pick-lists become HubSpot pick-list properties, dates remain datetime properties, and text fields map as-is. Deal stages map to HubSpot pipeline stages using value-by-value mapping so stage names and historical stage assignments are preserved. Deal types from Raynet are stored as a HubSpot custom deal property (Deal_Type__c) since HubSpot has no native deal-type concept. Raynet's automations, workflow rules, and e-signature configurations are not migrated — those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's automation tools. We export Raynet's automation rule definitions as a structured reference document so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them. Activities logged in Raynet (calls, meetings) migrate as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps and owner links preserved. A delta-pickup window captures any Raynet records modified during the cutover window so HubSpot reflects Raynet's final state at go-live.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

RAYNET CRM logo

RAYNET CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Reporting and analytics remain basic compared to HubSpot or Salesforce, frustrating managers who need custom dashboards or revenue forecasting.
  • Integrations beyond Zapier and calendar sync are limited, creating friction for teams with established tool stacks outside the CRM.
  • Automation capabilities plateau at the Architect tier, pushing scaling teams toward platforms with more powerful workflow engines.
  • Custom fields and custom objects are less flexible than competing CRMs, limiting adaptation for non-standard sales motions.
  • Global feature parity concerns as the product expands internationally, with some users noting localization gaps in non-English markets.

Choosing

HubSpot logo

HubSpot

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How RAYNET CRM objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a RAYNET CRM object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

RAYNET CRM

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet Contact maps to HubSpot Contact as a direct 1:1 object mapping. All standard contact fields (name, email, phone, address) map to HubSpot's built-in contact properties. Raynet's primary company association maps to HubSpot's primary company link. Original create and update timestamps are preserved as HubSpot custom datetime properties since HubSpot's native Createdate reflects the migration timestamp.

RAYNET CRM

Company

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet Company maps to HubSpot Company directly. Company name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to HubSpot's equivalent built-in company properties. Raynet's parent-company hierarchy maps to HubSpot's parent company association on the Company object. Multi-company associations (Raynet N:N contact-company model) are surfaced as HubSpot secondary company associations.

RAYNET CRM

Deal

maps to

HubSpot

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet Deal maps directly to HubSpot Deal. Deal name, amount, close date, and owner map to HubSpot's built-in deal properties. The original Raynet deal identifier is stored as a custom property (Raynet_Deal_ID__c) for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. Stage names are mapped using value-by-value stage mapping against HubSpot pipeline stages.

RAYNET CRM

Pipeline

maps to

HubSpot

Pipeline

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet's pipeline concept maps directly to HubSpot's deal pipeline. Each Raynet pipeline maps to a corresponding HubSpot deal pipeline. If Raynet uses multiple pipelines, each becomes a separate HubSpot pipeline object. HubSpot Professional and above support multiple pipelines natively, so this mapping requires no additional licensing on the destination side.

RAYNET CRM

Pipeline Stage

maps to

HubSpot

Pipeline Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet pipeline stages map to HubSpot pipeline stages using per-pipeline value mapping. Stage names are mapped individually — if Raynet uses 'Proposal Sent' and HubSpot pipeline uses 'Presentation Scheduled', the mapping preserves the stage name as a custom field (Original_Stage__c) while routing the deal to the correct HubSpot stage. Stage-entered timestamps are preserved as HubSpot custom datetime fields.

RAYNET CRM

Deal Type

maps to

HubSpot

Deal (custom property)

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet deal types (one per deal on Start, up to 5 on Professional, unlimited on Enterprise) have no native HubSpot equivalent. We create a HubSpot custom deal property called Deal_Type__c and migrate each Raynet deal type value as a HubSpot pick-list value. If a Raynet deal had multiple types, all are stored comma-separated in Deal_Type__c. This property is available for HubSpot reporting, workflows, and list segmentation after migration.

RAYNET CRM

Owner

maps to

HubSpot

User

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet owner (sales rep assigned to contact, company, or deal) maps to HubSpot user by email match. We resolve each Raynet owner email against HubSpot's user list — matched users receive ownership automatically. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration runs; your team either creates a HubSpot user or assigns those records to a fallback owner before the migration commits.

RAYNET CRM

Activity (Call / Meeting / Note)

maps to

HubSpot

Engagement (call, meeting, note)

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet activities — calls, meetings, and notes — map to HubSpot engagements. Call logs become HubSpot call engagements with original timestamps and owner links. Meetings become HubSpot meeting engagements with duration, attendees, and start/end times preserved. Notes become HubSpot notes attached to the relevant contact, company, or deal record. Original activity timestamps and owner assignments are preserved on each engagement record.

RAYNET CRM

Custom Property (per Raynet tier)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet custom properties from all tiers migrate as HubSpot custom properties. We create each property in HubSpot with the appropriate type — pick-list values become HubSpot pick-list properties, dates become datetime properties, and text fields become text properties. On Raynet Enterprise accounts with 500 custom fields, we map all 500 to HubSpot custom properties; all HubSpot paid tiers support unlimited custom properties so no tier constraint applies on the destination side.

RAYNET CRM

Attachment / File

maps to

HubSpot

File

1:1
Fully supported

Raynet file attachments associated with contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Files are re-attached to the corresponding HubSpot record. File size limits apply — HubSpot's import supports files up to the platform's file storage limits per account tier. Inline images in notes are downloaded, rehosted, and the note is updated with the new URL.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Raynet automations and workflow rules do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot

    Raynet's automation runs (Builder at 3,000/month, Architect at 10,000/month, Architect+ at 10,000+$4/1,000 runs) are configured within Raynet's rule builder and have no HubSpot equivalent. HubSpot's workflow engine operates on entirely different triggers, conditions, and actions. We export your Raynet automation rule definitions as a structured reference document — listing each rule name, trigger, conditions, and actions — so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them in HubSpot's workflow tool. This export is included at every scope and does not add to migration cost. The rebuild itself is a separate configuration step your team handles post-migration.

  • Raynet deal types require a custom HubSpot deal property — no native equivalent exists

    Raynet Start allows 1 deal type per deal, Professional allows up to 5, and Enterprise allows unlimited. HubSpot has no native deal-type field — deal types are not part of HubSpot's standard deal schema. We create a custom deal property called Deal_Type__c as a HubSpot pick-list and migrate each Raynet deal type value into it. If a Raynet deal had multiple types assigned, all are stored comma-separated in Deal_Type__c. This property can be used in HubSpot reports, list filters, and workflow triggers post-migration. Without this mapping, deal type data from Raynet is lost unless you capture it in the custom property during migration planning.

  • Raynet tier-gated custom field limits may create mapping complexity on lower-cost plans

    Raynet Start caps custom fields at 5 per record, Professional at 100, and Enterprise at 500. If your Raynet account uses the maximum allowable custom fields for your tier, we create corresponding HubSpot custom properties for each one. On HubSpot's side, all paid tiers support unlimited custom properties so no destination-side limit applies. However, the migration plan must document every Raynet custom field by name, type, and pick-list values so each is created correctly in HubSpot before data lands. Raynet Enterprise accounts with 400–500 custom fields require the most mapping planning and fall into the upper pricing range.

  • Raynet's per-seat pricing creates a different billing model than HubSpot's contact-based billing

    Raynet charges $19–$57 per user per month regardless of contact volume. HubSpot Sales Hub Starter is free for up to 15 contacts, then $15/user/month on Professional and above. This means the per-user cost comparison is not directly equivalent. Teams migrating from Raynet often find HubSpot's model less expensive per rep but must monitor HubSpot's contact-based marketing billing if they enable Marketing Hub. We do not migrate billing configurations — those are set up independently in HubSpot after migration. We surface the contact count and user count from Raynet during the planning phase so you can model the HubSpot cost before go-live.

  • Raynet API rate limits on Start and Professional tiers may require multi-day migration runs

    Raynet Start has 24,000 API calls/day and Professional has 48,000 API calls/day. Large Raynet accounts with 500,000+ records may exceed these daily limits if we attempt a single-day migration run. We pace migration jobs to respect Raynet's rate limits — splitting large migrations across multiple days if needed. Enterprise accounts have custom API limits that we negotiate during scoping. HubSpot's import endpoints operate independently of Raynet's rate limits since data is extracted from Raynet on a scheduled basis. This pacing does not affect data integrity but extends clock time for large migrations.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful RAYNET CRM to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Raynet data structure and tier capabilities

    We begin by querying Raynet's API to enumerate all active objects, custom field definitions, pipeline names, stage values, deal type configurations, and owner assignments. We cross-reference this against your Raynet plan tier (Start, Professional, or Enterprise) to identify which tier-gated features are in use — particularly custom field count, deal type count, and automation rule volume. This audit produces a Raynet data dictionary that drives every downstream mapping decision and forms the basis of the migration plan delivered before any data moves.

  2. Map Raynet schema to HubSpot objects and custom properties

    Using the Raynet data dictionary from the audit, we map every Raynet object and field to its HubSpot equivalent. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. Custom Raynet fields are created as HubSpot custom properties with type-aware conversion. Deal types are assigned to the custom Deal_Type__c property. Pipeline names and stage values are mapped per-pipeline. Owner resolution rules (email-to-user matching) are configured. The field mapping spreadsheet is delivered for your review before any test migration runs.

  3. Clean data and validate owner resolution

    Before migration, we deduplicate Raynet contacts and companies — merging exact duplicates (same email) and surfacing near-duplicates for your team to resolve. We standardize phone number formats, address structures, and pick-list values across both platforms. Owner emails are matched against HubSpot's user list — any unmatched owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback HubSpot user or held for your team to create the HubSpot account first. This step prevents orphaned records and broken deal ownership at go-live.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals across multiple pipelines, and a sample of custom fields — migrates to HubSpot first. We generate a field-level diff showing source values against destination values for every mapped field so you can verify deal type migration, stage mapping, custom property population, and owner assignment. You review the diff, flag any corrections, and we update the mapping before the full run commits. This step is included at every scope and is the primary validation checkpoint.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against HubSpot's import API, respecting Raynet's API rate limits. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Raynet records modified or created during the cutover period. Each operation is logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation fails — a deal stage mapping is wrong, a custom property didn't create, an owner didn't resolve — one-click rollback reverts HubSpot to its pre-migration state so the correction can be made and the migration re-run. Go-live is declared only after your team confirms the delta records look correct.

Strengths

  • Per-user pricing model that does not scale with contact volume, providing cost predictability for SMB teams.
  • Clean, intuitive interface with high user adoption rates reported across verified review platforms.
  • Map Analysis feature auto-derives GPS coordinates from contact addresses for geographic visualization.
  • Automation tiers (Builder/Architect) offer workflow automation without requiring developer resources.
  • 30-day free trial with no credit card required for initial evaluation.

Weaknesses

  • Basic reporting and analytics compared to enterprise CRM platforms, limiting advanced forecasting capabilities.
  • Limited native integrations beyond Zapier, requiring custom development for most third-party tool connections.
  • Automation complexity caps out at the Architect tier, pushing scaling teams to evaluate alternatives.
  • Custom object flexibility is constrained relative to Salesforce or HubSpot, limiting adaptation for niche sales motions.
  • Pricing varies across review aggregators, making it difficult to confirm exact current tier features without direct vendor confirmation.

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most Raynet-to-HubSpot migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 records. Larger datasets with 500,000+ records, extensive custom properties (400–500 on Raynet Enterprise), or multiple pipelines extend to 5–7 days. The longest phases are the initial audit of Raynet's tier-gated schema, cleaning duplicates, and the test migration with field-level diff. Delta-pickup for in-flight records during cutover adds 24–48 hours to the overall window but does not interrupt your Raynet team.
