Project Insight has received positive feedback from users for its user-friendly interface and collaborative features. Users have found the software to be exceptionally friendly, responsive, and enjoyable to work with, making the process of developing and testing workflows collaborative. This has been particularly useful for remote teams, as Project Insight provides tools for various functions in order to effectively work on projects with dispersed team members.
Project Insight has proven helpful across a range of use cases. Users have utilized the software for new employee onboarding, tracking deadlines - both external and internal, conducting weekly meetings and planning sessions. By reducing the need for managing multiple project tracking sheets and software, Project Insight provides real-time insights into progress, tasks, and challenges. Additionally, the software allows for better tracking of projects, forecasting timelines, creating Gantt charts, and accurately tracking employee time.
While some users struggled with staff adoption of the software, many have found Project Insight to be a more favorable option compared to alternatives like MS Project. The ability to have visibility into all projects in progress through dashboards and reports sets it apart. Overall, Project Insight has helped improve project management and time tracking efficiency for users. However, there are some areas where improvement is sought by users. The interface could be enhanced further and manual entry of billing details for invoicing has proven burdensome for some users.

Offline Work and Convenient Upload: Many users have found it beneficial to be able to create a plan outside of Insight and then upload it later, allowing for offline work and convenient uploading. This feature has been praised by several reviewers for its flexibility and convenience.
Export Reports and Invoices: The ability to export reports and invoices is appreciated by users as it allows for easy sharing and analysis of data outside of the system. Several reviewers have mentioned that this feature has been helpful in their workflow, making it easier to generate professional reports and share information with stakeholders.

They have expressed frustration with finding features, navigating within the application, and configuring the product.
Integration Challenges: Users have found it time-consuming to integrate the software and have suggested that future companies should focus on developing templates before adding projects. They have also expressed frustration with integration issues and the limitation of only one person being able to perform integrations.
Limited Reporting Capabilities: Users have expressed a desire for easier report-building capabilities, specifically the ability to create a list of specific resources for all projects.

- When I got to the company where I used Project Insight, we had our own custom tool that fit the tasks that it was designed for but wouldn't grow with the company unless resources were put onto expanding capabilities. We needed something more.
- We replaced that tool with Redmine. It worked well and was easy to use, but it looked pretty dated when we got it, and since we didn't have many resources for managing, it looked dated after a few years without receiving upgrades. It was a decent tool for small teams that were focused on similar tasks. Redmine was much more straightforward than Project Insight and felt more reliable since we never had an issue with our internal servers. On the other hand, Redmine felt dated and didn't fit as many of the tasks that were needed. Redmine's price was right if you installed it locally and was probably still cheaper if you used their SAAS version.
- Jira, on the other hand, felt like an excellent tool for software teams. Jira had a great project and task management and felt right for a software team. Jira also had useful integrations, even with Project Insight. Jira seemed pretty unreliable, worse than Project Insight. Our team would have preferred Jira, but I think it didn't work for other teams.
