Overall Satisfaction with Insightly

It is used across the whole organization. It helps to report on sales, to work as a team, to manage projects and to automate tasks and workflows. We also have a detailed view of what the problems are and are able to give solutions on the fly. The integration with Evernote, MailChimp, and Slack helps us work much more efficiently.
  • Insightly integrates CRM and Project Management
  • Insightly includes workflows and automation
  • Insightly's integration with MailChimp simplifies lead's management and digital marketing in general
  • Insightly helps team members to work together efficiently as all information is gathered in one place
  • There should be a chat for improving comms within team members
  • Reporting is not as good as it can be. It should be easier to config.
  • Support should have a chat service
  • Increase in sales.
  • Improves efficiency of teamwork.
  • Better control of KPI'S.
  • Better service to clients.
  • Reduction of costs.
  • Reduce response time.
Insightly is more comprehensive than the others except for maybe for Vtiger. Price/quality relation is better in Insightly. The learning curve is lower with Insightly.
Scenarios where it is well suited: Task management, control of KPI, contacts management, opportunity management, workflows, and automation.

Scenarios where it is less appropriate: Project management, Mobile App
