Insightly - Very Useful at the Best of Times and a Bit Frustrating at Other Times
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Insightly to manage our incoming over from customers including architects, contactors, and design firms. We use it as a database to track upcoming, in-progress, and completed. We use it to organize contacts and organizations. We also use it to collect customer email and phone number data for marketing purposes. Before using Insightly, this information was extremely hard to organize and track for all sorts of purposes. Gmail alone was not a useful tool in organizing this data.
Pros
- Organization
- Reliable data storage to refer back to later
- Search functions
Cons
- Ease of data entry
- AI Email tracker makes duplicates of contacts and organizations
- customer service is slow and is not clear with their questions
Return on Investment
- I have no actual ROI number to provide. It is not that easy to determine.
