Overall Satisfaction with Insightly
I am a Freelance Director/DP (video/film/photography). I use Insightly as my primary database for client contacts and more importantly, project management. Insightly allows me to track projects, and is the starting point for anyone I reach out to, or any project I work on.
- Simple, one point access for clients, organizations and projects. Use Insightly more for PM than sales/Biz Dev. I can enter a new projects and quickly see a list of what projects are in which stage of the process, from not started to completed.
- I can easily save emails (with attachments) directly back to its related projects. The attachments are automatically pulled and placed into the "files" area of the project.
- The level of modification to fit difference business needs is great...there is so much I haven't even tapped into yet.
- I just started using the new UX so there might be a way to do these things I'm about to state: Lock in the width of the columns so I don't need to resize each time I go to the projects page.
- In Projects - the Project status WAS color coded. In the new UX its not! Why not? With Color Codes I could easily find and see where the projects are in the process. Yes, I know you can sort, but that's not the same.
- In Organizations - I'd really like to see a tab/column for "Category". It was a no-brainer for me to see what categories the different organization fall under.
- Change your Logo/font - The little heart make this look like a dating site, not a CRM platform. I like the color though.
- Improved efficiency
- Streamlined business processes
Being able to track my projects from getting the opportunity to conformation that I've been paid is important. without a platform, I'd be using Exel docs. Having data tied together (project, client, organization, notes and emails) is valuable.
