Performance of Insightful Across Market Features

Insightful Likes & Dislikes

Like

It turns raw workforce data into clear and actionable reports. It helps in visualizing the proper data by which we can understand the patterns and real-time tracking of productivity of employees and clear dashboard for right and smart decision making.

Like

easy of use, flexability for remote work, strong analytics and reporting

Like

Time saver, productivity booster and one stop solution for prioritization

Dislike

It is a very good tool but you know sometimes power can be a drawback. As we know it is an employee productivity tracking tool which is why it is overly focused on employee monitoring and not supporting the employees. The other thing is there is a lot of data that makes so many metrics. Which makes us so confused. As more data becomes available, it will confuse us in so many ways rather than always helping. Managing big data sometimes makes things complicated. One of the biggest challenges is training people to use the software. It's time consuming too.

Dislike

some competitors had more integrations, privacy and trust issues, overwhelming for training new staff

Dislike

They can provide some customization options. Rest all is good
