I only use Instagram for my personal life, because I have family across the world it's so easy to share my holiday pics with everyone. I also love how quick and easy it is for me to see what my friends and family are posting. > > **Cons**: Hard to think of anything other than the App going down a couple of times over the last few years, like any other App. Reinstalling the App worked for me. > > Great for keeping in touch with friends, family, businesses and my community. I love looking at photos and videos, it's an enjoyable and quick way to stay connected. I have several family members that are small business owners that use Instagram and I am able to keep current with everything that is going on and also share my life (mainly travel and family) with them. In our busy lives it's great to have an app that we can all share together on. ----- ### "Instagram - A necessity in today's business world" — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *15 April 2026* | Music | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Instagram is how easy it is to get your work in front of people quickly. As a musician, it’s one of the few platforms where you can post something and actually get real engagement right away, especially with reels. It’s also great for finding and connecting with other artists in your scene. > > **Cons**: What I like least is how inconsistent and unpredictable the reach can be. It feels like you can do the same type of post twice and get completely different results for no clear reason. It also pushes you to constantly create content just to stay visible, which can take time away from actually making music. > > Overall, Instagram has been a really useful tool, especially for getting my music out there and connecting with other artists. It’s definitely helped with visibility and building a network. At the same time, it can be a bit frustrating with how inconsistent the algorithm is and how much it pushes constant content creation. Still, it’s one of the most effective platforms for what I do, so it’s worth using — you just have to learn how to work with it. ----- ### "Social Platform with loaded fun features" — 5.0/5 > **Swagat** | *17 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: From a creator and user perspective, I love everything about Instagram. Easy-to-use, loads fast, great user interface. Another thing I love about Instagram is the range of the Story templates they have. It makes sharing stories so fun. > > **Cons**: As a creator, I just wish Instagram had monetization feature like Tiktok and Facebook. That way it would motivate creators more on creating valuable content. > > Having been using Instagram since it was launched back in 2010. Absolutely in love with the app. No doubts\! ----- ### "Insta got still got room for improvement, other apps are really catching up." — 3.0/5 > **Adarsh** | *29 November 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easiest way to have a vast reach with the least effort. The huge userbase of Instagram and certain features like public stories make it much easier to get views from a variety of audience. When it comes to messaging, the message request and filtering is very efficient as help maintain quality to what we see or want to see. > > **Cons**: The messaging feature have much to improve in Instagram, it focus too much on restrictions. Despite having filtering and request, it gives further restrictions based on type of account or follow status, which sometimes prevents genuine connects. > > Instagram has been very useful in building a viewership. Even for the smallest content, if it is of reasonable quality, the app will ensure it reaches the target audience. How it suggest only the most relevant based on our usage pattern is exceptional. ----- ### "Instrumental part of our small business growth" — 4.0/5 > **Kassidy** | *19 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love the ability to create a lot of content for free and reach local and non local audiences. We use it to advertise \& keep our current customers engaged > > **Cons**: The algorithms seem to change frequently and it seems like our content doesn’t get shown to most of our followers > > Overall it has been a huge piece of growing our small business. There are some nuances to figure out (such as views and making sure we reach our target market) but overall great product ----- Page: 1 / 208\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/210721/instagram?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/210721/instagram) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | ----- ## Structured Data
