There're so many features packed into one software that becomes quite impressive with the add ons that are offered through IOSXpert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

The ability to add so much information about the client or business being entered is excellent. We have multiple addresses, phone numbers, misc. data about each of our clients in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

There should be an easier way to switch which address and phone number is the primary one for each client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a great product. I highly recommend this for better organization managing different clients at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Daylite?

It connects things together and has a Mac App feel. Contacts integration is pretty good.

It's the only CRM of its size I've ever used, so keep that in mind for the "dislike" section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

I'm looking at this program compared to other programs I've used on Mac, not necessarily compared to other CRMs. So maybe this is the cream of the crop. If it is, I'm afraid to see the others...

It is perhaps the clunkiest and most confusing professional program I have ever seen. It is incredibly intimidating to use and learn due to the bad UI design, unintuitive actions, the simultaneously uselessly redundant/non-existent/unhelpful labeling, and one of the worst "more details" and "edit" functionalities I've ever seen (I hate those stacking sidebars that hide everything and cover each other up).

Calendar integration is a joke. The Today view of the Daylite calendar is a joke. The iPhone/iPad app is a joke (it took literally 30 minutes to set up and if I did anything like lock the screen or even pull up the control center, it would crash). And don't even get me started on importing things from other programs...

It's one of those apps that updates all the time and each time it has run another installer... I hate apps that do that.

It's a Mac exclusive app, so why isn't it in the app store???

It's not the worst app I've ever seen, but it comes close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping track of cases, projects, clients, meetings, appointments, contact info, opportunities. It certainly does all that, but not very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

The thing I like most about the new Daylite is its capability to include files not only in people's and companies' entries, but as well as those in emails. When I am working on a project I can link files to people and have them attached to emails, and also, I don't have to tediously look for an email in my Apple Mail application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Appointment reminder emails -as far as I have been able to figure it out- can't be sent to more than one person, as any email address above the first one is separated by a comma and NO SPACE, so that my email program (Apple Mail) doesn't recognize it as separate email addresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Get it. It will make your business go much easier and faster. Plus, you won't lose information anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

It completely took care of the eternal searching for related files and items (usually strewn over 4-5 several applications). Projects are streamlined, and updating has been made so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

The interconnectedness of all the items in Daylite is the most important feature. Being able to look at an upcoming meeting and quickly review everyone's contacts who are coming, the projects and actions the meeting might relate to, as well as support notes - just amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

I wish I could put more TYPES of information as links within the system. I'd love, for instance, to be able to drop a clickable Devonthink item link into a task. Instead, that's put in a text field that isn't clickable. Ultimately, any complaints I have I feel confident will be ironed out in future releases, as they are mostly related to device compatability (very minor) and especially use on iOS (share sheet, etc). I should be able to quickly and easily send a URL or an email or even a webpage from that app to Daylite as I can do with other to-do apps. Also, they don't sign a BAA, so I cannot use PHI in the app - if I could - this would run my entire business immediately, including patient records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Especially wonderful if you are implementing GTD. Having everything interconnected and the extreme flexibility of the task and project management system - golden! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quickly and easily getting projects, tasks and appointments to my business partner. We've not grown its use beyond the two of us, however, so we're not sure how it will scale. The privacy alone may be difficult to manage. We've been more efficient in our communications and our completion rate of projects has gone up significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

The software integrates well with Apple Mail and makes it easy to archive emails into a centralized database for searching. The calendar and projects functions have been very useful in our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

MarketPlace focuses a large amount of it's resources on improving and troubleshooting their cloud product and the self-serve product often does not get updated or patched for sometime after. Recently we have found two issues with syncing events between Apple's Calendar app and the Calendar within Daylite. Both issues have been reported and both responses included that cloud based Daylite took precedence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

If you can afford it, go with the cloud based system, if for no other reason than being on the leading edge of MarketCircle's updating, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Daylite as a CRM, group calendar, and sales project environment. Collaboration and communication have definitely improved with the implementation of this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

There is so much to like about this program!

It can basically manage your whole business all in one place.

Start out by entering your Opportunities. Link those to Contacts and Companies. Create custom pipelines with tasks (you can create templates of these so you only need to do the setup once). Apply them to the Opportunity to track and plan your progress.

Once you win the Opportunity, convert it to a project and all your links come over to the new Project. From here you can add new Tasks and Pipelines (again you can create templates here to make this easier).

Track your progress in detail so you'll know exactly where you are at any time with just a glance.

The integrated Calendar makes scheduling a breeze. Check user's free and busy times and set up meetings with them and also with resources (like meeting rooms and projectors, etc) all in one place.

Daylite and integrate with Mac Mail too. So that all your correspondence for a particular project can be captured automatically and kept in your Daylite database for easy searching.

With multiple views you can see your data and filter it in about any way you like. Makes it very easy to drill down on any opportunity, or project or see how people and companies are linked together.

Daylite is truly hard to beat and will help you keep your business running smoothly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Sometimes the report engine is hard to customize. But there are partners to help you with custom reports if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Do yourself a favor and try the demo version and you'll see how much can be done with this program! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing contacts, projects, opportunities, and just about everything to do with our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

Daylite's regular improvements make this product extremely helpful in my business. They are committed to making upgrades, and keeping small business working as productively as possible. In addition, Daylite (Marketcircle) has an excellent support team that responds to issues quickly to get my business up and running again, or to remove obstacles that may have appeared by my misuse.

I can't say enough about what an outstanding piece of software (and software company) Daylite is. I have the opportunity to speak to large groups of Mac-using professionals, and without exception, I recommend Daylite. Now with Cloud-syncing, the software gives the best of both worlds (cloud-based, and offline use). It really is the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

Daylite doesn't release upgrades on the bleeding edge of new operating systems. (For instance, they have not released an iPhone X edge-to-edge update). However, I don't see this as a negative since this is my most important business-related software. I prefer that it is always stable, rather than being first to release something new. While there should be progress, there shouldn't be risk to something so important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Spend timing thinking through the workflows in your business. If you don't know the way you work (or could work better), Daylite isn't going to perform magic for you. That said, the people at Daylite are very helpful at helping you think through this if you ask them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Daylite helps me run two separate businesses with multiple team members. The software excels for teams 4-10 large. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Daylite?

It really has amazing relationship database abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Daylite?

The learning process has been a complete pain the butt. It is not easy to learn nor is the customer service very good. I would say it is very poor. After 10 years of using Daylite I have gone their cloud services which are fine. I was computer programmer and am a power user now. This process has been painful to learn. Customer service is email, chat, ( and sometimes days before you can get a response ). I HATE their customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Daylite:

Make sure you have the time and resources to learn this - it is not easy or intuitive ( it is getting better ) . Support is weak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Daylite solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have now expanded and added a virtual assistant to my financial practice and Daylite really is very powerful and cloud friendly. This software is not for the weak of heart, so if you have the time and resources to learn it, you will be happy. Good luck. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
