July 23, 2026 5.0 I use Insightful for time tracking on my remote work, and overall the experience has been very positive. It’s reliable for keeping accurate records of my hours, and whenever I’ve had questions, their customer support team responded quickly and actually resolved the issue rather than just pointing me to a help article. I haven’t run into any significant problems, which says a lot about how smoothly the tool runs day to day. I’d recommend it to other remote workers or contractors looking for a dependable time-tracking solution Pros What stood out to me most about Insightful was the customer support. Whenever I had questions or ran into issues, the team was responsive and genuinely helpful — they didn’t just send generic troubleshooting steps, they took the time to actually resolve the problem. That level of support made the whole experience feel much smoother and gave me confidence in the platform. Cons Honestly, I can’t point to anything I disliked. My experience with Insightful has been smooth from start to finish, and any concerns I’ve had were quickly addressed by their support team. Review Source Response from Insightful August 3, 2026 Hi Victoria, Thank you for the review! There's a quiet confidence that comes from a tool you never have to think twice about: Accurate records, smooth from day one, no surprises to trip you up. Glad that's how time tracking has felt for you. And that difference you noticed - a team that solves the problem rather than pointing you to a help article - is the part we're happiest about. Staying with something until it's properly fixed takes real care, and ours does it gladly. A recommendation to other contractors is about the best vote of confidence we could ask for, and we'll keep earning it. If anything ever crops up, a quick message is all it takes. Best regards, The Insightful Team PB Phil B. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Insightful Review" June 15, 2026 4.0 Communication with support is efficient and timely. Product does what it claims to do. It enabled me to find time wasted and address this with employees. Pros Screenshots up to every 30 seconds, real time insights and the ability to create teams. I didn't try the screen recordings yet but plan to. Cons Ability to manually add users rather than them automatically being added. This incurs extra cost unnecessarily if you're only needing to monitor 1 or 2 employees Alternatives considered [ActivTrak](https://www.capterra.com/p/135366/ActivTrak/) Reason for choosing Insightful Price. ActivTrak has a minimum of 5 users for 12 month minimum period. I only wanted to track 1 user. Review Source Response from Insightful June 22, 2026 Hi Phil, Thanks for this thorough review! Support that's efficient and timely, paired with a product that simply does what it says - that combination is what makes the day-to-day easy, and big credit to our team for the responsive help. On adding users manually rather than automatically: Auto-add is actually built to save admins the manual legwork, which is why it's the default and works well for most teams. We walk people through how this operates early via onboarding emails, product tours, and our help centre. That said, we get why some prefer hands-on control over who's added, so we've already flagged it to our Product and Dev teams. And spotting where the hours could work harder, then acting on it with your team, is the real payoff here. We're around whenever you need us! Best regards, The Insightful Team YG Yehuda G. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Horrible" August 31, 2022 1.0 Terrible product. Terrible support. Pros Never got it to work properly so there is nothing positive i can say about it. Cons Umm...the customer service number doesn't connect to anyone and then hangs you up. I have been using this service for about 3 months and have gotten nowhere. Review Source AP Anthony P. manager Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great job monitoring tool with great accuracy" June 2, 2026 4.0 Pros I like it to monitor my employees' activites and I can make even instant screenshot on them. I like the daily report emails about the effective work. Cons Sometimes it is hard to understand the metrics and the accuracy is not 100% - I would say it is around 905% accurate. Alternatives considered [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Insightful It was more ease of use, it seemed to be better fit for our needs. Review Source Response from Insightful June 8, 2026 Hi Anthony, Thanks for the review. It's great to hear the daily report emails are serving you well - its quite useful to have that snapshot you need in your inbox without going looking for it. And since you're using Insightful for monitoring and screenshots, worth knowing there's a lot more workforce intelligence depth to tap into whenever you're ready: From understanding where your team's time creates the most value to what's making your best performers tick. We hear you on the metrics and accuracy. That's not the experience we want for you. The app is designed to be straightforward once you find your footing, and any inaccuracies you're seeing may well be down to sync delays rather than a data issue. We'd love for you to reach out so we can have a look together and help get things reconciled. Best regards, The Insightful Team DR Daud R. Admin Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Workforce Productivity and Time Tracking Platform" July 23, 2026 5.0 Our overall experience with Insightful has been very positive. The platform has helped improve visibility into team productivity, project allocation, and resource utilisation. The reporting tools provide valuable data for operational decision-making, while the intuitive interface makes adoption straightforward for both managers and employees. Insightful offers good value for money and continues to be a useful tool for managing distributed and in-office teams alike. Pros Insightful provides excellent visibility into workforce productivity, making it easy to understand how teams are spending their time and identify opportunities for improvement. The reporting and analytics are detailed yet easy to interpret, helping managers make informed decisions. The platform is user-friendly, offers strong task and project tracking capabilities, and provides valuable insights into team collaboration and performance. Customer support has also been responsive and helpful whenever assistance was needed. Cons While the platform is feature-rich, some advanced reporting options can take time to fully understand for new users. There are also occasional areas where additional customisation options for reports and dashboards would be beneficial. Review Source Response from Insightful July 27, 2026 Hi Daud, Thank you for such a considered review! Reporting only truly helps when you can read it at a glance yet still trust the depth underneath, and it's great that's the balance you've found. You're also putting it to work where it matters most: not just seeing the productivity picture, but spotting where to improve and steering real decisions off the back of it. That's Insightful as a full workforce intelligence platform, and it holds as true for your in-office teams as your distributed ones. On advanced reporting taking new users a while to grasp - that's the trade-off with a platform this comprehensive, though a thorough help center, a best-in-class AI support bot, and product tours are there to shorten the curve. And your timing on customization is good: we've just rolled out a far more customizable Home page, so send support the specifics you'd like to build and they'll show you what's now possible. Enjoy shaping it around your team. We're glad to help the moment you RP RITESH P. Dev Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful Productivity Tracking tool" July 23, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Insightful was positive. The platform provided valuable visibility into productivity, time tracking, and workforce analytics through an easy-to-use interface Pros user-friendly interface combined with detailed productivity and time-tracking insights. It made it easy to understand team activity, identify trends, and access actionable data through clear, well-organized dashboards without requiring a lot of setup or training. Cons I would have liked more flexibility in creating custom dashboards and reports tailored to specific team needs. Review Source Response from Insightful July 24, 2026 Hi Ritesh, Thanks for the review! There's a lot to be said for insights you can act on without wading through setup or training first - clear dashboards that simply lay out the trends and team activity for you. Glad that clarity came through. On wanting more flexibility to build dashboards and reports around your specific team: Good news there - we've recently rolled out a new Home page that's far more customizable, so you can shape the view much closer to what each team actually needs. Well worth a look, and our support team can walk you through the most useful parts if you'd like a hand setting it up. That kind of tailored read is where the workforce-analytics side really pays off and the new Home page gives you a lot more room to get there. Enjoy making it yours! Best regards, The Insightful Team MS Milan S. Supervisor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Insightful Review" June 26, 2026 4.0 I have no complaints to voice, even while being on the client and supervising side, it definitely makes the job a lot easier the whole way round Pros How easy it is to use, screening and using the filters to track individuals and individual apps that help with making sure everyone stays active Cons The intervals of the screenshots, sometimes if there's a no- on-demand screenshot taken, the interval can be as high as 5 minutes \* not sure if this is company settings \* Review Source Response from Insightful July 6, 2026 Hi Milan, Thanks for the review! Filtering right down to a single person or a specific app is a genuinely handy thing to have, it's the point where a rough sense of what's going on turns into something you can actually see clearly. And that filtering is really just the surface. Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so beyond keeping the day-to-day on track, the same view points you toward where to double down and what's working well enough to build on. Nothing to fix and plenty more to gain: That's a genuinely good place to be. We'll be right behind you as you get more out of it. Best regards, The Insightful Team AZ Alex Z. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "10/10 from a small business owner" June 10, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience has been incredibly wonderful with Insightful. I am not sure how companies run remote teams without it. Pros Insightful makes it a hundred times easier to ensure that your remote employees are working on the task that they say they are. Cons I can't think of much to say bad about Insightful. I could not run my business without it. I believe the pricing is fair, and the website does what I need it to. Review Source Response from Insightful June 12, 2026 Hi Alex, Thank you for this so much! Saying you couldn't run your business without us is about the most generous thing a review can say, and we don't take it lightly. It's wonderful to hear Insightful gives you that confidence your remote team is on what they say they are. And since it's already woven into how you run things you should know that monitoring is honestly just a fraction of it. The same platform can show you which hours create the most value and what your strongest people do differently, so you're not just keeping teams accountable, you're helping the whole operation get sharper. Reviews like this one genuinely make our day! We're right here whenever you need us! Best regards, The Insightful Team RL Ryan L. Creative Director Graphic Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Intuitive UI and Great Customer Service" June 8, 2026 5.0 I have been using the product for around 5 weeks now in correlation to a contrast position I have, and it has worked reliably so far. I had one syncing issue across my two devices, but the team was very responsive and helpful in solving this issue promptly. Pros The application has an intuitive interface, it syncs my hours reliably, and the company offers great customer service. Cons I wish there was a way to stick the dashboard to my desktop so it is always viewable and more handy to start and stop and the timer. Review Source Response from Insightful June 9, 2026 Hi Ryan, Thanks for the review! We're glad Insightful is holding up for your work. We like where your head's at with pinning the dashboard to your desktop so starting and stopping the timer is always within reach. Quick, always-visible controls are the kind of thing that smooths out the whole experience, so we'll make sure our product team hears it. And that one sync hiccup across your two devices getting sorted quickly? Real follow-through from our team - that takes care. Here whenever you need us again. Best regards, The Insightful Team AV Adam V. Managing Director Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An extremely useful tool for any company." July 17, 2026 5.0 I think it's a very good and useful tool for companies with remote employees. It's also great for monitoring employees who work in an office. It makes it very easy to track all activities, and every part of the working day can be measured accurately. It's easy to use once you get familiar with it, and overall I really like it. Pros The system works well, exactly the way I want it to. If you ever need help with anything, their customer support is very helpful. Cons I can't think of anything like that at the moment. Everything works well, exactly the way I want it to. Review Source Response from Insightful July 22, 2026 Hi Adam, Thank you for the kind words! There's little that beats a tool that just works the way you want it to: No fighting it into shape, no workarounds etc. It's great that's how Insightful's landed for you. And it's every bit as handy for your in-office team as your remote one, just as you found. Tracking the day is only the start, though. Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so beyond measuring hours, that same detail points you to which ones create the most value and where small changes add up across the team. You've got it doing exactly what you need and when the time comes to ask more of it, we'll be glad to help you get there. Best regards, The Insightful Team MI Milos I. CEO Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly Detailed, User-Friendly, and Excellent Support – Perfect for Tracking Productivity" March 27, 2026 5.0 We use Insightful to address issues like idle time, non-productivity, loss of important info, and tracking office presence. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience. The customer support is excellent, and the program has a very bright future ahead Pros What stands out the most is its precision and the automation of key processes, which significantly improve productivity. It effectively helps me solve issues like idle time, non-productivity, and the loss of important information, while also allowing me to easily track office presence. Additionally, the customer support is excellent, always responsive and helpful, ensuring any issues are quickly addressed Cons It takes some time to fully explore and understand all the program's features, capabilities, and reporting options to maximize its potential Switched from [All Hours](https://www.capterra.com/p/136029/All-Hours/) Because this app has real time monitoring of all PC activities and productivity tracking possibilities. Review Source Response from Insightful March 30, 2026 Hi Miloše, Bringing that level of precision and automation into everyday work usually removes a lot of noise. Especially when it comes to things like idle time and tracking overall activity. We’re really pleased to see Insightful platform supporting you in that way, and it’s music to our ears to hear our support team has been there when needed. On the learning curve, that’s a fair observation. There’s quite a bit under the surface in terms of features and reporting, which can take a bit of time to fully get comfortable with. To help with that, we’ve put a lot of effort into in-app product tours, our AI assistant, and a detailed Help Center so teams can get up to speed more easily. Thanks for taking the time to share such a well-rounded review. Best regards, The Insightful Team LS Lyra S. Executive Assistant Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Visibility Into Team Productivity and Strong Value for Money" March 12, 2026 5.0 Overall, we’ve had a good experience with Insightful. It’s been a helpful tool for keeping track of productivity and giving managers better visibility into team activity. We’ve also been able to use the data for management reporting, which has been a big plus. Once everything is set up properly, it fits well into our workflow and has been a valuable tool for our team. Pros Insightful gives us a really clear view of how our team spends their time throughout the day. It’s been helpful for tracking productivity and understanding where time is going across different apps and tasks. The reports are also very useful for management discussions since we can easily pull data and include it in our internal reporting. Another thing we appreciate is the value for money. The features we get from the platform make it a worthwhile investment for managing team productivity and performance. Overall, it makes it much easier to see trends and support the team where needed. Cons Some parts of the reporting could be a bit more customizable. There are times when we want to adjust reports for specific metrics, and having a bit more flexibility with filters or exports would help. Alternatives considered [Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) Reason for choosing Insightful We chose Insightful because it strikes a great balance between visibility, ease of use, and affordability. Review Source Response from Insightful March 23, 2026 Hi Lyra, Sounds like you’re getting real use out of the data, not just tracking time, but actually using it in conversations and decisions. That’s where tools like this start to earn their keep. On the reporting side - we've heard you loud and clear! This is actually something the team is actively working on, especially around making reports easier to shape around specific metrics. Thanks for laying it out so clearly, it is genuinely a very useful input for us. Best regards, The Insightful Team IM Isac M. Chief Operating Officer Law Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Chief Operating Officer" May 12, 2026 5.0 So far, it has been a very smooth experience. It was very easy to install the software on our staff's computers. From there, the program simply works and gives us a lot of information, which helps us track/score each individual staff member's KPIs. Pros Our firm loved all the "insights" (pun intended) that we are getting from our staff's work after we installed the software on their computers. Cons We don't have anything that we disliked about Insightful. I guess the only point of improvement for our current setup would be to have the ability to manage PTO straight from their software. Alternatives considered [Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) Reason for choosing Insightful It was MUCH easier to set up, and it simply works. We had a few issues to make Hubstaff work on our staff's computers Review Source Response from Insightful May 19, 2026 Hi Isac, The "insights" pun got an actual laugh out of us, so thank you for that. And the "simply works" - that's a very good bar to land, so thank you for that one too. As for managing the PTO straight from Insightful - thats an interesting one - and we'll surely take it to our product team. While we're here: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so the staff KPI tracking you're already doing is just the entry point. There's a lot more depth ready when you want to lean in: What your team's hours are best invested in, how the firm could be leaner and more productive, where the real wins are sitting across your work. Thanks so much for writing this out. We're around whenever you need us! Best regards, The Insightful Team CL Ciara L. Human Resource Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Insightful App Review " May 7, 2026 4.0 So far everything's good. Again, I've only used the app for less than a year but it's nice to know that we can reach out to the technical team when we experience difficulties Pros App is pretty much straightforward and you can get all necessary information you need. Have only used this system for about 9 months and so far, it's good. Additionally, technical support is always quick to respond. Cons Some employees encounter (haven't encountered so far though) system glitch which causes confusion sometimes Review Source Response from Insightful May 18, 2026 Hi Ciara, Nine months in and still finding it solid is a really nice landmark to hit with us! Thank you for taking the time to write this. And great to hear our technical team has been there when you've needed them. Even when glitches show up only as secondhand reports, they're worth us digging into. If any of your employees hit something specific, please send them to our support team with the details (what happened, when, on which machine). We'd rather solve actual issues than have them sit as background noise for your team. While we're at it: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so beyond the day-to-day basics, there's more analytical depth ready when you want to dig in: where the hours actually go, what's slowing the team down, which tools earn their keep, and where the optimization wins sit. Worth a look when you have a minute. Thanks again for the review. We're around whenever you need us! Best regards, The Insightful Team LN Luciana N. Senior Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable and Accurate" February 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience is that the app is seemless, it stays on the background doing its work, and you can bring it to the foreground easily. It never crashed or had any incompatibility with my Macbook Pros I've been using for four months and not once it crashed, therefore so far it has been very reliable. The interface is intuitive and the learning curve is a walk in the park. It performs as expected, always on the background using very little of the computer's resources. It links to a dashboard where it shows accurate time tracking and reporting. Excellent value for the money. Cons None that I can find. It performs as expected. I'm using version 8.0.6, the latest as of Feb. 2026, and it never crashed. Review Source Response from Insightful March 16, 2026 Hi Luciana, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience with Insightful. We’re glad to hear the platform has been reliable for you over time, and that the interface feels intuitive and easy to learn. It’s also great to hear that you are pleased with the accuracy of time tracking and reporting through the dashboard. We do appreciate you highlighting the stability on your MacBook and the overall value you’re seeing. Best regards, The Insightful Team PM Pranav M. FDE Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Game-Changer for Remote Team Productivity and Transparency" May 12, 2026 4.0 We’ve seen a 15% increase in team focus since implementation. It’s helped us identify bottlenecks in our workflow and fairly redistribute tasks among the team. It feels more like a coaching tool than a surveillance tool, which was important for our company culture. Pros The real-time dashboard is incredibly intuitive. It provides a clear breakdown of 'Productive' vs. 'Unproductive' time without being overly intrusive. I particularly like the automated time-tracking feature which eliminates the need for manual start/stop timers, making it much easier for the team to focus on their actual work Cons The initial setup for categorizing specific industry-related apps took a bit longer than expected. It would be helpful if there were more pre-set templates for different creative agencies to speed up the classification of 'productive' tools. Review Source Response from Insightful May 18, 2026 Hi Pranav, Your "coaching tool, not surveillance tool" framing - that one landed hard for us. It's the cultural distinction we hope every customer arrives at, and you've put it perfectly. And 15% on team focus is a good number - real, measurable, not just a feeling. The pre-set templates, the more industry-specific defaults...we hear you, we'll be taking it back to the product team. And honestly, what you're describing already IS workforce intelligence at its best. Surveillance tools just watch; intelligence platforms like Insightful help teams see where they're already winning, where hours are best invested, and how to keep getting leaner and more productive. You've found that, and there's even more depth in there to keep growing into. Thanks so much for writing this out. We're around whenever you need us! Best regards, The Insightful Team AR Angelo R. Operations Administrative Assistant Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "How is Insightful making companies more efficient?" March 4, 2026 5.0 I have loved it! I always say it is the best license our company has bought. It really helps me do my job faster and better, and provides real-time data that helps drive decision-making within our Operations team. Pros Insightful is easy, quick, and efficient to use. You can pull reports, data, and other insights about team members, attendance, and performance. Cons Sometimes, it won't teach you how to navigate some parts of it. It would be to include more details and training on how to get some stuff done on the platform. Review Source Response from Insightful March 16, 2026 Hi Angelo, It’s great to hear how much value Insightful is bringing to your day-to-day work, especially when it comes to reports, real-time data, and supporting decisions within your operations team. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. You also raised a fair point about learning how to navigate certain parts of the platform. We hear feedback like this and are continually working on improving the onboarding experience. In the meantime, there are several resources available to you, including our extensive Help Center, tailored in-app product guides, and a well-trained AI assistant that can quickly connect you with a member of our Support team if needed. And of course, our team is always happy to help if you need guidance with anything in the platform. Best regards, The Insightful Team MG Mary G. Expert Reviewer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Truly Outstanding Insightful Support" December 4, 2025 5.0 Apart from this past week with the email change trauma, it has been a smooth and pleasant experience. Pros Insightful is an easy interface that makes working remotely so much easier and stress-free. Employees can turn on and off the app at their discretion, and the hours are logged without much ado. Cons Recently I changed my work email, which affected Insightful in ways I was not previously aware of. It took days of emails with my company support and then finally with Insightful support crews. Finally, one Insightful support rep, \[sensitive content hidden\], was able to solve my problem -- following dozens of panicky emails from me, \[sensitive content hidden\] remained patient and positive, and guided me to success. I owe \[sensitive content hidden\] a LOT! Review Source Response from Insightful December 7, 2025 Hi Mary, It’s great to hear that Insightful has helped make remote work feel more organized and stress-free for you. That’s exactly the kind of experience we want create. Thanks for sharing it! The trouble you ran into after your email change, though, is not the kind of detour we want any of our clients to face. Even though the issue stemmed from the account transition, the amount of time and follow-up it took to get everything sorted isn’t up to the standard we hold ourselves to. We want these moments to be smooth and predictable, not something that takes your time away. We’re glad things are back on track now, and if you ever need help again, whether it’s a quick question or something more complex, we’re always ready to step in. Best regards, The Insightful Team SR Shaik R. Secretary Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Insightful review" May 19, 2026 5.0 It is very effective for tracking and easily monitoring employees’ daily and monthly working hours. It also helps generate reports as per the scheduled requirements, ensuring accurate records, improved workforce management, and better monitoring of employee performance and attendance. Pros To easily monitor and evaluate employees’ work efficiency in a timely and systematic manner, while ensuring accurate recording of working hours, attendance, and productivity. This helps improve operational performance, maintain transparency, identify areas for improvement, and support effective workforce management and reporting. Cons generating detailed and graphical reports based on staff working hours to effectively monitor employee performance, attendance, productivity, and overall work efficiency. The reports will help provide accurate insights, improve workforce management, and support management decision-making through clear and organized data analysis. Review Source Response from Insightful May 20, 2026 Hi Shaik, Thank you so much for the detailed write-up. The transparency angle you flagged - using accurate data to keep work visible and accountable - is something we really care about, so it's good to know that part is doing its job. Your point about wanting more detailed and graphical reports is a useful one. Visual data analysis can make management decisions a lot quicker, and we'll pass that feedback through to our product team. While we're here: Insightful is a full workforce intelligence platform, so the workforce management and reporting you're doing now covers one part of what's possible. There's plenty more on offer when you want to lean in - what hours are best invested in, where teams can be leaner and more productive, what's driving the biggest gains across the org. Detailed reviews like this one actually move the needle on what gets prioritised, thank you for the effort. Catch us anytime. Best regards, The Insightful Team MCL Mary Cyrille L. Head of HR Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Time Tracking" April 7, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Insightful has been positive and easy to use. I found it helpful for monitoring productivity, tracking time efficiently, and gaining clear insights into work patterns. Pros I liked checking employee productivity and seeing detailed insights into their work patterns, app usage, and overall engagement throughout the day. Cons The idle time recorded during meetings made it seem like productivity was lower than actual work done. Review Source Response from Insightful April 19, 2026 Hi Mary, Thanks for sharing your thougts here. We're pleased to hear that Insightful has been helpful to your work and given you positive experiences. The idle time discrepancy you're mentioning is usually a setup thing rather than an actual reflection of activity. If meetings are being counted as idle, it normally means the tracking rules need a quick adjustment. Reach out and we’ll go through it with you to make sure it reflects your work properly.

Manager Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "1 month expirience" June 1, 2026 4.0 Our overall experience with Insightful is short so far, but we will definitely continue to learn more about the software. Pros Simple user interface. Easy option to sort individual member activities. Daily activities. Small software load on PC. Cons The reporting options could be better. I have to export the reports to Excel to edit them. A more sophisticated export interface with user options would be better. It would also be great if these individual exports could be sent to emails according to a set period. Review Source Response from Insightful June 8, 2026 Hi Veronika, Glad the simple interface is working for you and that Insightful stays light on the PC, one of those quietly nice things that's easy to miss when it's done right. Since you're still finding your feet, worth knowing Insightful reaches well past sorting daily member activity: There's real depth waiting in where your team's time creates the most value, whenever you want to dig in. Your reporting feedback is useful on both counts. The push for a more flexible export interface is a good one, and we've already passed it to our product team. Grateful for it. As for scheduled email reports, good news: that's already built in. You can set reports to land in your inbox on a regular cadence right in the app, so reach out and we'll point you to it. Plenty more to discover as you settle in, so don't be a stranger whenever a question comes up. Best regards, The Insightful Team JGP Joshua Gideon P.

April 16, 2026 5.0 Everything has been great so far. Did have a recent problem with the software as it was not opening for me on my end, but the developer team and customer service was able to help me through and through that it finally worked and it has been day 2 since then and the problem did not reoccur. Pros It is able to accurately monitor and check for progress and activity and it has no latency the clock and timer. The customer service and the developer team where able to resolve the issue regarding my access with insightful. The application is even secure and provides proper reporting to the business management. Cons The timer functions stops if the software suddenly does not work. I wish that the same functions would apply to insightful website just in case that the software encounters a problem on accessing it.

It’s good to know the platform has been useful for keeping track of productivity and seeing what employees are working on throughout the day. You also mentioned the initial learning curve and screenshot history. We hear that onboarding can take a little time when someone is first getting familiar with the platform, which is why we’ve been expanding our Help Center resources, in-app product guides, and AI assistant that can quickly connect users with our Support team when needed.
