Where Insightful falls short
It could benefit from additional features to better support multitasking across multiple roles or projects. G2 review
Reporting is not always accurate. After you update the labels, reports are not updated. Sometimes it is very hard to find accurate information. G2 review
Some of the features I need for my team can only be applied to the entire organization vs individually… G2 review
…It is disheartening when the app fails to accurately capture and record work activities, leading to incorrect data and potentially affecting productivity analysis… Capterra review
I wish there were more integrations with external data sources to push data from insightful, for example, Google Sheets or Slack. Lots of ways to bring information in, but very few ways to push information out. Capterra review
Their account management is terrible. We are constantly overpaying because software picks up system users like local admin, Default1, SYSTEM .. and charges you for it… for each machine. This can get expensive in a hurry if you are not looking at the console constantly. Capterra review
Measurable Results. Real ROI.
