Overall Satisfaction with Insightly

It is used by our sales team as a client database. Some reps use it more than others. I use it to store client contact information as well as prospect lists.
  • The app can be convenient when you are traveling
  • I like that it uses smart technology
  • It is cumbersome to have to first create a new organization and then create a new contact within that organization. You are entering the same information twice.
  • It is very cumbersome and requires too many steps to do a search by filter or list and then export it to Excel. Then you have to wait for an email and search your junk mail to find a list you pulled.
  • It's not efficient or convenient. If you search within the organization tab you may not find a client contact and vice versa if you search in the client tab you may not find an organization.
  • Other
Develop clean prospect lists to make my job more efficient.
We used to use ACT. I prefer ACT.
If you have a small budget and want free software it may be a good option to manage contacts.
