Overall Satisfaction with Insightly

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Insightly to manage contact information and notes for contributors to our media. I have everyone categorized by location, tags, and status. I mark people with tags that determine if they are a current contributor, past contributor, or removed contributor. I use the notes section to mark the dates of when their posts and contributions were made. I like being able to filter people by their tag and export contact info for that selected group.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ability to tag contacts to organize them
Search filters
Contract info organization

Cons

Sometimes we get confused between tags and organizations - does there need to be both?
Sometimes slow and cumbersome between tabs on a contact's profile

Desired Outcomes using Insightly

Keep contacts organized and it does that job great

Alternatives Considered

Evernote, Dropbox and Dropbox for Business

They all have their own purposes but work well together for workflow management and keeping track of contributors. I also use the contacts app on my iPhone and computer.

Other Software Used

Dropbox for Business, Evernote

Likelihood to Recommend

[It is] used to manage contact information and notes for contributors to our media. I use the notes section to mark the dates of when their posts and contributions were made. I like being able to filter people by their tag and export contact info for that selected group. [It's] not well suited for uploading documents even though that's a function, I prefer to use Dropbox.com
