"Basic CRM meant primarily for sales success"
What do you like best about Insightly CRM?

Insightly really helps provide a basic simplified CRM wherein you could set a task and assign it to a colleague, with its due date, status, and if it's a recurring task. Best thing is that you can *relate* a task essentially connecting it to an Organisation, Contact, Project, etc.

What do you dislike about Insightly CRM?

Insightly does have features to provide, like a Roadmap which other competitors have.

What problems is Insightly CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

There's so many good ideas on Insightly's community forums but don't get picked up by the Insightly team. And some nitty gritty bits like creating a task but assigning the Task creator to someone else, which is understandable.

"Mediocre at Free Version"
What do you like best about Insightly CRM?

It's a good learning tool. It's a functional system.

What do you dislike about Insightly CRM?

Clunky, not streamlined. Not easy to edit pipelines, etc, and obtuse (hard to understand.)

What problems is Insightly CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've realized that I need to work with another CRM company. I've solved enough of my problems to know that a better product exists. I used the free edition, however.

"NEEDS MORE CUSTOMER SERVICE"
What do you like best about Insightly CRM?

It offers a logically structured CRM that helps to organize your business. Helpful features include tags, the ability to assign tasks directly, link emails to Insightly to see the thread directly in the software, and more. This would be even better if you could get more in touch with the team to explain to you how the tool works better, give you tips, etc...

What do you dislike about Insightly CRM?

- With that being said, if you are a SMALL BUSINESS, do NOT expect to be taken care of by Insightly customer service. If you did want to be taken care of, you need to prepare to have to add a substantial budget for assistance. -I was very disappointed because after speaking to the sales representative in August, I was offered a whole package that unfortunately took a MONTH to confirm. By that time the package was no longer available, and all the training sessions that were originally offered with my package had disappeared. When i revisited the training a few months later, Insightly tried to sell me a whole new packages to buy additionally. Obviously being a small business, this is absolutely not possible for us because the investment of Insightly is already a substantial investment.

What problems is Insightly CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

CRM, bulk email send out. Track of email opening rate. Template tools E-mail reminders

"Robust tool yet still needs more functions"
What do you like best about Insightly CRM?

It is very easy to use. You can get onto Insightly and understand most of what it is going on. We can change and adapt the program to what we need to it do for our business. If we need to create more custom fields, more drop down options, or more tags. That is all possible and fairly easy to do. It also functions well with Google Mail so we can use our email and Insightly together.

What do you dislike about Insightly CRM?

There are limits to Insightly. We need to to keep track of important data without having too many fields for the Sales team to update. Creating duplicates of each organization or contact is very easy to do. There is not easy function to identify if another contact is similar to the one being entered or to merge the two contacts.

What problems is Insightly CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Insightly to gather leads, identify where they are in the Sales Cycle and keeping all of our employees update to date on current customer status.

"Good Product"
What do you like best about Insightly CRM?

I enjoy the ease with which we can use insightly. It's pretty good and allows us as customers to control the process of using the software

What do you dislike about Insightly CRM?

I don't particularly enjoy the high markup on the cost. The product need not be so expensive and we can easily reduce the cost by find other solutions.

What problems is Insightly CRM solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm solving the issue of using CRM to monitor and understand the customers. CRMs are widely quite useful because they make the task of seeing and maintaining records of clients particularly easy for use. I love CRMs because they really have made it much easier to use the product.
