Cons

Some users might find the user interface a bit dull and un inspired
We found the way to use multiple workspaces a bit confusing
It takes quite a bit of planning to build a well organized workspace in order not to have way too many projects and tasks all over the place

You couldn't connect people to programs within a business well enough. It's like we needed one more level of abstraction. We had the schools and the "employees" and their roles, but then we could separate by program easily. We had to do all these manual sorts of list things, and it was a pain to keep track of things once we had hundreds of schools and a thousand people in there.
You can only send emails to 50 contacts. That was so annoying. I should be able to send an email to hundreds, and Insightly should handle the job and perhaps just time delay the send 50 people at a time or something. I would have to send the email to 50 people at a time, and it was so annoying to deal with. My number 1 reason for seeking comparative products.

Insightly offers a great product; it's the right fit for our company at this time. We were, however, considering moving to Contactually due to their cost effective automation features. However, they lacked the project management capabilities of Insightly. As our company grows, we would love to stay with Insightly - and if they can nail the automation and add the ability to customize a little bit more, it would be the perfect solution for us. For a larger company with a more involved sales team, you might find the metrics/reporting to be a bit basic. Insightly offers great customer service even to free customers

Usability

Asana 9.0

Based on 22 answers

It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.

The platform is very intuitive and easy to use, over the years of using it I have experienced minimal bugs and errors, the odd task has not been updated, etc. but other than this it has performed very consistently for us. The platform has a simple, but effective job to do for us and it does it well, there is no added "fluff" for us to go through and this allows us to be efficient when using the service.

The interface is very user friendly and easy to navigate. Reports can quickly be made, including custom fields.The website response has always been quick to load and has never been unavailable when I have needed access. They listen to requests for additional or custom features, and they hold workshops frequently to assist new and experienced users.

I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).

The only missing thing at this time that would make our implementation complete would be a tighter integration with Xero allowing us to send quotes and report on quotes from Insightly!Xero has, excuse the pun, ZERO reporting on quotes sent!!!They are both very good products, however it's the little things that make good GREAT!

Alternatives Considered

I like how extensive the capabilities are for Asana. With other softwares it seems there are many things lacking. I feel like Asana is also a very user friendly platform and aesthetically pleasing which is important in a modern office. We have many young people entering our workspace and it is important to have software that is ahead of the times in functionality and efficiency.

The main reason for going ahead with Insightly was the cost. It meets our basic requirements of lead management and we didn't want to spend a lot on a CRM tool. Other than that, most other CRMs we evaluated have all the basic and advanced capabilities.

(+) Being able to download my LinkedIn connections was a huge benefit. (+) I use the task function to stay on top of my follow-up activity which is another positive feature. (+) The sorting capabilities also help me pinpoint the contacts that I need to stay on top of.(-) When I add a new lead from an existing organization, I would like the organization's information to automatically populate the fields like address, website, description. I enter all that information manually. (-) My mass mailing experience has been tedious due to the email function being interrupted and crashing due to bad email addresses in some of my records. (-) Many of my leads do not have current email addresses. I wish Insightly offered a tool to help find email addresses. I spend too much time researching to find email addresses.

Return on Investment

Productivity - Most of all, it allows me to be more productive and have a good sense of where I am with projects and deadlines.
Easy to use - I can make the most of my time to get up (and stay) up and running.
Project coordination - Allows me to assign tasks to my interns and communicate directly within the platform to keep the work train moving.

This has positively affected the way I view sales opportunities via their charts.
The home dashboard is helpful and loads right when you log in so you can view your status at a glance.
I like being able to click right from the dashboard when I log in to get to the most important info.
