“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
HubSpotSuperMetrics works for basicdata sync, but its multi-hop architecture and generic connector design create reliability issues when you need consistent, accurate data for business-critical reporting.
Here’s how purpose-built HubSpot connectors deliver superior reliability through direct connections, intelligent error handling, and architecture designed specifically for spreadsheet integration.
Connection stability: direct vs multi-hop architecture
SuperMetrics uses a multi-step process that introduces multiple failure points between HubSpot and your spreadsheets. Data passes through caching layers and transformation systems that can fail independently, and periodic re-authentication requirements create additional opportunities for connection breaks.
Coefficienttakes a direct approach with OAuth connections that automatically refresh tokens and maintain 99.9% uptime. The dedicated HubSpot connector reduces connection complexity by eliminating intermediate processing steps that cause SuperMetrics reliability issues.
Data accuracy and error handling comparison
Real-time API calls vs cached data.
Coefficient makes real-time API calls that ensure data matches HubSpot exactly, with no intermediate caching or transformation layers. Hyperlinked records provide instant verification against source data. All field types including complex custom properties are handled consistently without the interpretation issues that affect generic connectors.
Intelligent error recovery systems.
When failures occur, Coefficient’s automatic retry logic attempts failed syncs without manual intervention. Partial refresh recovery continues from the last successful record instead of starting over. Clear error messages provide specific details about what failed and why, and graceful degradation imports what’s possible even with partial failures.
How to make it work
Step 1. Implement direct connection architecture.
Install Coefficient and connect to HubSpot with OAuth authentication. This creates a direct connection that eliminates the multi-hop architecture causing SuperMetrics reliability issues. The connection automatically maintains itself with token refresh and doesn’t require periodic re-authentication.
Step 2. Set up proactive monitoring and alerting.
Configure email or Slack alerts for sync failures with specific error details. Use the dashboard to monitor sync history and success rates. Set up predictive warnings for approaching API limits. Enable real-time sync status visibility so you know immediately if issues occur.
Step 3. Configure independent scheduling for reliability.
Set up independent scheduling per import to prevent cascade failures where one failed import affects others. Use intelligent scheduling that automatically staggers imports to avoid resource conflicts. Implement redundant scheduling for critical data with backup refresh times.
Step 4. Test reliability under scale.
Test your setup with large datasets (50,000+ records) to verify performance under scale. Use incremental loading options to maintain reliability with large data volumes. Set up comprehensive alerting for mission-critical syncs that require immediate attention if they fail.
