Evaluating Insightly and Competitors
Yes - Insightly replaced features on our admin website as well as spreadsheets and calendars. Prior to using Insightly we were storing and managing information in spreadsheets, word documents and files on our computers.

The features of the product were a determining factor. I needed a product that allowed the flexibility of adding a large amount of information (including custom fields that I could customize for our industry) about the organizations we work with. Insightly had more of the features that I needed than other similar products we tried. The ease of use and set up were much more user friendly as well.
I would talk to other businesses to see what they had tried as well as researching more online. I would also see what information was available on YouTube to see what the products offered. I did read several of the reviews about Insightly and tried out several products for a short period of time before deciding on Insightly.
Insightly Implementation
- The biggest problem in fully implementing the site was getting all of the information we needed added to the site
Insightly Support
Pros | Cons |
---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
No - In 4 years I have contacted the support department twice. Once after an update to the website we lost information so I sent an email to support. They were very helpful and resolved the issue quickly. The other time was just a question I had when the email template features was introduced. I had a question about changing the reply email and the support staff answered my question quickly.
Insightly changed some features to the website when updating the site. One of the features limited the number of characters you could use in the description field in an organization. Prior to the update there was not a limit to the characters you could have in the field. Our organization used this field to house information we use in client support. When this update occurred we lost critical information used in our day to day operation. We contacted Insightly and they did a great job at quickly restoring the information to our site.
Using Insightly

Like to use Relatively simple Easy to use Technical support not required Consistent Quick to learn Convenient Feel confident using Familiar | Not well integrated |
- The activity sets once set up are a real time saver
- Pipelines are a great visual reminder as to where you are with a project or task
- Attaching emails to organizations, clients and projects
- Pipelines took me a little bit to figure out how to set up in the order I wanted the steps
- Organizing tags so they are the way we need to see them took some creativity
Yes - the mobile app or the app on my ipad is hard to use because the information is not in paragraphs but just a few words across and difficult to read.
