FAQ
Can Insightly replace our project management tool?
For lightweight tracking tied to deals, yes. For complex PM with resource planning and Gantt charts, you may still want a dedicated PM tool.
Is relationship-linking worth the learning curve?
If you have multi-stakeholder deals or complex org charts, absolutely. If you mostly sell to individuals, simpler CRMs suffice.
