"Effective Monitoring with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like that Insightful gives a real-time picture of what's happening, and the screenshots are quite useful. The summary part is helpful for letting me know what work was done in a day. The initial setup was easy and overall fair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

So related to the work, that can be improved is the setting part that generally, user can control from their side. And, the real time thing, the UI of real time monitoring could be, little more interactive. Like, during UI, I'm getting all the name, in a single box. And I'm not able to see if user is using multiple screen. So and if multiple tabs are open. So if it is possible to get that thing as well, that will help. Otherwise, it's fair. It's not that much. Big issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

It’s good to hear that the real-time view, screenshots, and daily summaries have been useful for keeping track of productivity and attendance, especially when you’re not around. That kind of visibility is exactly what many teams rely on day to day.

Your comments about the real-time monitoring interface and additional context around screens or tabs are indeed very interesting. Feedback like this helps us understand how people use the platform in practice, and we’ll make sure your suggestions are passed along to our product team for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.

Best regards,

"Effortless Productivity Monitoring for Remote Teams"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like that Insightful allows me to have a quick glance at the entire team and see how full their schedules are. It stays out of the way so my team doesn't have to think much about timesheets or tracking their hours. The initial setup was very easy, taking just about 5 minutes to deploy an MSI installer to all endpoints after informing the staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

We provide services to other companies and it's been a bit tough to sort out who is spending time on which client, but that may be more a function of how we are doing our work rather than a shortcoming of Insightful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Graham,

We’re glad Insightful is helping you keep a clear overview of your team’s schedules without adding extra overhead for them. When tracking runs quietly in the background and still gives you that level of visibility, it tends to make day-to-day management much smoother. We’re very pleased to see that working well for you.

If you ever feel there’s room to make things even more effective for how your team operates, especially around how work is organized or tracked, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to take a closer look with you and help fine-tune things to better fit your setup.

Appreciate you sharing this.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Effortless Productivity Tracking with Excellent Support"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

What I like best about Insightful is how easy it is to use and how much clarity it gives me about productivity. I can quickly see detailed reports and trends without feeling like I’m micromanaging anyone. It’s great for supporting remote and hybrid teams, and I feel confident knowing it’s secure with SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance. Plus, whenever I need help, their customer support is fast and reliable. Overall, it helps me improve efficiency while keeping things simple and transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

What I dislike about Insightful is that it doesn’t have a mobile app, which makes it hard to check things on the go. I also wish there were more customization options for dashboards and reports because the current setup feels a bit rigid. The reporting is helpful but lacks deeper analytics for complex workflows, and sometimes I run into minor bugs or downtime that can disrupt tracking. It also takes time to fully learn all the features, and the price feels a bit high compared to other tools. Lastly, I’d love to see better integrations with project management platforms to make it more seamless for my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Christian,

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. We love hearing how Insightful is helping you maintain clarity around productivity without crossing into micromanagement. Supporting remote and hybrid teams with secure, transparent insights is exactly what the platform is built for (certainly not for micromanagement), and we’re glad that’s coming through in your experience.

We also appreciate you calling out areas where Insightful can grow, from mobile access and deeper customization to integrations and analytics. Feedback like this is extremely valuable, and we’re actively sharing it with our product and development teams as we continue evolving.

If you’d ever need to explore ways to get more out of your setup today, our support team is always happy to help.

"Intuitive UI and Powerful Performance Tracking for Remote Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

The interactive and clean user interface makes it very easy to navigate. The real-time employee monitoring dashboard is well-organized and the performance tracking features are highly useful for managing remote teams efficiently. The UI/UX is intuitive and requires minimal training for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

The pricing plans can be a bit expensive for small teams. Sometimes the software feels heavy on system resources, which slightly slows down older machines. The initial setup and onboarding process could be made simpler, and more third-party integrations would be a welcome improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

Thanks for this thorough review! Hours saved on manual reporting every week is properly worth celebrating, and we're really glad we could help get you there.

In every reported case of he system-resources slowdown we've investigated, the cause has turned out to be other software running on the device, not Insightful itself but still, that's not something we'd like to leave without having a look. Please ping our support team, we'd genuinely love to help diagnose what's going on with your setup.

More integrations are continuously in development, and a few more are landing in the next few weeks - hopefully one of them matches your wishlist.

And the bigger picture: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so the productivity tracking and attendance monitoring you're using today are just part of what it can do. There's more to lean into: Which hours create the most value across your remote team, how to amplify what's already working, what's pulling the biggest weight in your operation.

"Efficient Monitoring with Elegant Visualization"
4/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like the visualization of Insightful and the control of the timing for users. I also find it quite easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

I would like Insightful to also allow me to block the pages or applications that one monitors. It would be useful if every time a user enters an inappropriate page or an unproductive app, it would deactivate itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Abel,

Thanks for this! A clean, well-designed visualization does more quiet work than it gets credit for - turning raw activity into something you can actually read at a glance. Good to hear it's landing well, and that setup made for an easy start.

Your idea of blocking or auto-deactivating pages and apps when someone strays into unproductive territory is an interesting one. A step from seeing usage into actively steering it. We're passing it along to our product development team.

Input like this is how a good tool keeps getting better, so we're glad to have yours. We'll be around whenever something else comes up.

Best regards,

"Insightful Makes Remote Work Management Easy!"
5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I love how Insightful makes it easy to track productivity and manage remote teams effectively. The automatic time tracking and detailed reports give me a clear view of project progress without micromanaging, and the intuitive interface is a plus. Additionally, Insightful’s ability to analyze work patterns helps improve efficiency and streamline our workflow. It’s definitely a valuable tool for anyone looking to optimize team productivity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

What I find challenging about Insightful is the occasional lag when generating detailed reports, especially for larger teams. Also, the initial setup process can feel a bit complex, particularly when configuring permissions and specific team tracking settings. It would be great if there were more customization options in the dashboard for specific reporting needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Ahmed,

Your experience highlights something we spend a lot of time thinking about: making it easier to understand how work actually happens without needing constant check-ins. The way you’re using automatic tracking and reports to spot patterns and keep projects moving is very much in line with what Insightful is designed to support.

You also called out a few areas where things can feel heavier than they should, especially when pulling detailed reports for larger groups or getting everything configured at the start. Those moments matter, and they’re part of what guides our ongoing work around performance, permissions, and reporting flexibility.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here. If you ever need any assistance with Insightful, our support team is always ready to jump in and help.

"Customizable Fields and Admin Control Made Switching Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I love the level of autonomy our team has to customize fields, and to choose who we want to be an admin (or not). We also like that we were able to drop Time Doctor and move to this app instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

We don’t have access to customer service over the phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Leyat,

Switching from another tool isn't a small decision, so we're genuinely glad the move to Insightful has been a good one for your team. The autonomy to customise fields and choose admins is something we built in on purpose - teams shouldn't have to wait on us every time they want to adjust their own setup. Good to know it's playing out that way.

We don't run phone support, but we do offer video calls when something needs walking through together - and honestly, video beats phone for most technical things. Screen sharing, pointing at exactly what you're looking at, working through it together - it makes the kind of difference phone calls can't.

And while we're here: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, and it really shines in hybrid setups like yours (covering both remote AND in-office employees). There's plenty more to dig into when you want: What your top performers are doing differently, where small changes could unlock real gains, what's making the biggest impact across both teams.

Thanks for the considered review. Drop us a line whenever.

Best regards,

The Insightful Team

"Insightful: Revolutionizing Team Management Across Time Zones"
5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I love using Insightful because it helps me manage different time zones since my team is spread out over a wide range of hours and countries. It's great for understanding productivity peaks as well. I really appreciate that I don't have to download any reports to understand the metrics; the interface is very friendly and easy to understand. I find the filters very helpful for checking stats, time spent, and attendance for each agent. The graphs provided by Insightful allow me to determine productivity effectively. Plus, if I'm uncertain about something, I can always check the Screenshots Folder to verify information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

I have a hard time deleting shifts by bulk. Also, a feature where you could organize agents by shift would be amazing. A shift panel where you can get stats from those subgroups, like a morning team versus a graveyard team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi Anabel,

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Managing teams across multiple time zones is no small task, and it’s great to hear Insightful is helping you spot productivity peaks and stay on top of performance without needing to export endless reports. Being able to filter quickly, use visual graphs, and double-check context when needed can make a real difference in distributed teams.

Your suggestions around bulk shift deletion and organising agents by shift groups are super valuable. Ideas like a dedicated shift panel for comparing morning versus late teams are exactly the kind of practical enhancements that help the platform evolve in meaningful ways. We’re passing this directly to our product team so it can inform future improvements.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and ideas. Feedback like this genuinely shapes what comes next.

"Effective Time Tracker with Room for Improvement"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Insightful?

I like that Insightful checks our daily productivity and hours, and it's pretty good, to be honest. It's very detailed and sees all the application's results that all the employees are using. It's very easy to install, especially for new hires, and easy to navigate as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Insightful?

There are many times when employees encounter technical issues or system glitches. If there's a way for that to be improved, that would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Insightful Support of Insightful

Hi there,

The new-hire onboarding piece is one we don't hear about that often, so reading that Insightful slots in smoothly for people who've just joined is a really nice one to get. Thank you. And the rest of what you flagged tells us the daily productivity side is doing what it's supposed to do.

Recurring technical glitches for employees, though, isn't something we want to wave off. If you can drop our support team a note with the specifics - when they happen, what kind, on which machines if possible - we'd really like to dig in. We can fix these kinds of things for you!

One more thing while you're here: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so daily productivity tracking is really just the front door. There's a lot more in there - where the hours actually go, what's slowing teams down, which tools earn their keep, and where the real optimization opportunities sit. Worth a look when you've got the headspace.

Thanks again for taking the time. We're around whenever you need us!

Best regards,

The Insightful Team
