Overall Satisfaction with Insightly

We use Insightly to track new business leads and new opportunities. It also acts as an efficient database for existing and new clients.
  • Contact database, with great links across organisations.
  • Opportunities are a good way of focusing on some of the key projects coming up.
  • Linking to the iCal diary makes everything quite seamless.
  • Notification setting could be better.
  • Email links to projects/opportunities is a little cumbersome.
  • The report section is a little confusing.
Insightly has definitely aided the conversion of projects from both new and existing client contacts. Before using Insightly I used a simple spreadsheet, which whilst effective has none of the data capturing element of a decent CRM system.
Salesforce seems a bit over the top and expensive for a small business such as myself.
Really well suited to;
- database managements (CRM)
- lead generation/opportunity tracking
- business development in general
