"User-Friendly and Insightful Monitoring Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I find Insightful user-friendly and really appreciate how it tracks productivity and usage for each application and website on all computers. It's also easy to generate reports showing how much a specific website or application is being used, either for the entire company or by individual employees. I also switched from ActiveTrak and Teramind to Insightful because it gathers more information like screenshots and short videos. Plus, the initial setup was very easy.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

It would be great to be able to generate a report for an entire year for all employees instead of just 6 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the thorough write-up! Leaving a couple of established tools behind is no casual switch and it means a lot that the richer detail, the screenshots and short videos, is what tipped you our way.

Better still, you're already well past plain monitoring: Turning app-and-website usage into reports for the whole company or a single person is the workforce-intelligence layer doing its thing. Its less about watching, more about seeing which tools pull their weight and where to double down.

Stretching reports to a full year instead of six months is a useful ask, handy for year-over-year patterns, and we're passing it along to our product team.

You clearly know what you want from a tool like this, so as you lean further into the reporting and analytics, we're glad to go as deep as you need.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Empowers Remote Work with Clear Productivity Insights"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like that Insightful is fairly easy to use, making it simple to track productivity throughout the workday with features that show productive and unproductive sites being visited. It also provides weekly, monthly, and other time frame recaps, which is really helpful. As someone working remotely, I find it useful to have a visual representation of my productivity, which I didn't have in my previous organization. Additionally, I think the customer service is responsive and helpful when troubleshooting is needed, providing tangible overviews and flexibility for our team while maintaining a framework of responsibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

The pop-up when you return from being idle for some time. It's necessary to relaunch tracking on Insightful, yet only occasionally makes itself unequivocally known in its presence. I've experienced several times returning to my desk and diving right back into a task, only to have the 'Were you on a break' popup sit for hours beneath a pile of open windows on my desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Isabella,

We're so glad Insightful is making a difference for you and that the team has been there when you've needed them. From having no visibility of your own productivity to suddenly seeing your whole workday clearly laid out - that must have felt like a revelation of a sort!

On the idle pop-up getting buried under open windows, please do reach out to our support team! We're confident we can help you get that optimised.

Thanks for sharing this with us, we're here whenever you need us!

Best regards,

"Easy-to-Generate Reports and a User-Friendly Dashboard"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

The report is easy to generate and can be understood at a glance. The dashboard is very user-friendly, and the knowledge base is neat, well-organized, and easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

The utilization rate is difficult to understand in terms of how it’s calculated. For example, if an employee is out for one day, it seems the calculation is only based on the four days they worked. Shouldn’t their utilization rate be affected by the end of the week since they missed one day of work?

Also, it would be helpful if the timer automatically stopped whenever an employee loses internet connection or experiences a power outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Thea,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review.

Quick, easy-to-read reports and a dashboard that doesn’t require digging around tend to make adoption much smoother, and it’s good to see that reflected in your experience. Also glad Insightful's knowledge base has been useful when needed.

On the utilization rate, that’s something we can definitely clarify. The calculation can vary depending on how availability and time off are set up, so it’s worth going through it together. If you reach out to our Support team via chat, we'll walk you through it and help tailor it to match how you want to measure utilization.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Ease of Use and Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like how easy it is to use Insightful to log my time at work. I enjoy knowing that I can carry out my work with the assurance that the time will be well rewarded. I love that the projects are divided into different categories, which allows me to know what I have allocated my time to and exactly what I will be rewarded for. I also appreciated that I had no problems with the initial setup of Insightful on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

Sometimes, it took me a while to realize how to make the project change. Although when I wrote to Insightful support, they helped me easily, it was a bit confusing initially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Time Tracking with Visual Insights"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I use Insightful to clock my working hours. It helps me keep track of my worked hours so I know that I am not underpaid. I really like that it is very simple and easy to use. This is the first time I am using a tool that shows me my real-time clocked-in hours, and it has been very helpful in tracking my productivity. The initial setup was very easy, and overall, it's been a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

For me, downloading Insightful wasn't that much of an issue but not being able to see the timer the first couple of days was a bit confusing and I wasn't sure what to do. If I could have received emails on the status, that would have been very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

Knowing your pay reflects every hour you put in is no small comfort, so it's great Insightful's giving you that clear, real-time view of your hours, and thank you for writing about it!

On those first couple of days when the timer wasn't showing and it wasn't obvious what to do - that's a confusing way to start, no question. A good deal of what appears for you, though. The timer's visibility, status emails and the like - is often set by how your organization has Insightful configured, so that early gap may well trace back to their setup rather than the app itself.

Either way, you're never left to work it out solo: whenever something's unclear, our support team would be glad to help get your view sorted.

For a first go with a tool like this, you've settled into it really well, and there's every reason to think it'll only get easier from here.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Insightful Makes Productivity Easy to Track"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

What I like best about Insightful is how it provides clear, real-time visibility into productivity and work patterns without requiring complicated reporting. It makes it easier to identify trends, improve efficiency, and make data-driven decisions for both individuals and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

One downside is that some activity tracking can feel overly detailed, which may make employees feel like they are being monitored rather than supported. The interface can also be overwhelming at first because of the number of reports and settings available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

Thank you for this thoughtful review! There's a lot to like in a clear, real-time read on how work's flowing - no elaborate report needed to get there - and we're glad that's coming through for you.

The tracking can feel detailed, yes, which is where the added customization helps: Dial it to what genuinely supports your team, not capture more than you need. Openness matters too: Used transparently, that detail reads as support, not surveillance, and people work with it rather than around it.

There's also a lot on screen at first: Reports, settings, the lot, but that's simply the depth showing: Insightful is a full, well-rounded workforce intelligence platform, not a single-purpose tracker. It's why we've built a thorough help center, best-in-class AI support, and product tours - and that same customization lets you trim the view to what you actually use.

The sharper your decisions get, the happier we are, so whenever you want to pull more out of it, just say.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Clear Time Visuals That Keep Me Aligned on Tasks"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like the visual that shows how I spent my time in the application. It consists of a circle with different work-function categories. In particular, it compares the time I spent in the work application with the Insightful timer, which helps reassure me that I’m staying aligned with the task I’m working on.

"Ultimate Tool for Employee Monitoring"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I use Insightful for monitoring my employees, and it helps me keep a good oversight on my team members' work. I really appreciate the support they provide, which is really kind and helpful. Initially, I had some problems trying to register my team members, and the support team worked hard to solve the problem, even taking almost 2 hours to help me out. They were a pleasure to work with. I also like the high screenshot rate, which allows me to keep a good track of my members' work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

At the moment, add-on features can only be applied to the whole team. It would be perfect if I could customize what add-on features I apply for different members or teams in my organization. At first, it was a bit confusing but once I understood the core concept, it was clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Bonas,

Thank you for this review, and for the kind words about our support team. The commitment the guys showed aiding your onboarding is exactly the standard we hold ourselves to, and we'll make sure they know it was appreciated.

It's great to hear Insightful is giving you the oversight you need. We've built our platform (and are evolving it) to go well beyond basic employee monitoring, and the visibility it provides is just one part of a much broader workforce intelligence toolkit available to you as your needs grow.

We're here whenever you need us.

"Boosts Managerial Efficiency with Automated Productivity Tracking"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

This tool significantly enhances managerial efficiency by automating productivity tracking. It allows leadership to dedicate more time to strategic initiatives rather than granular oversight because the system provides a clear overview of team performance on the dashboard. Ultimately, it fosters a more focused and productive work environment for everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

Having to merge employee accounts, when users have different usernames across devices it's difficult to track and sometimes they don't show up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

Thank you for such a considered review! There's real value in tracking that runs itself. It gives a manager back the hours that used to go on oversight, freeing them for higher-level, strategic work. Great to hear that's the shift you're feeling.

Merging accounts when someone appears under different usernames across devices works this way for a reason: Insightful creates a separate profile per device so every bit of work is captured accurately, even when several people share one machine. When a single person works across a few devices, those profiles come through separately, and merging is what draws them back into one true picture of that person's hours. Our support team can help you manage merges whenever it comes up.

Glad to be part of keeping that team in clear view as it grows, and here for whatever the next stage needs.

Best regards,

What do you dislike about Insightful?

There isn’t much I dislike about Insightful, but some features could be more customizable to fit different workflows. A bit more flexibility in reports or settings would make the experience even better. Overall, it’s still a very efficient and helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with Insightful.

When a tool fits into your workflow without slowing things down, it usually ends up being used consistently, and that’s where it starts to make a real difference. Staying organized without extra effort is a big part of that.

You mentioned wanting more flexibility in reports and settings. We are happy to let you know that this is something we’re already working on in order to give people and organizations more control over how data is viewed and adjusted to fit different workflows.
