Instapage is well suited for small and nimble marketers with decent support from their design team that is capable to provide web assets. But the nice thing is it enables competent, savvy marketers the tools to generate landing pages at will without waiting on long design processes. That is the real value here.
We use Instapage to easily create beautiful responsive landing pages for many of our agency clients. Generally speaking, it's pretty intuitive and easy to use, no coding skills are needed but one of the things we love about Instapage is that you can build something beautiful in just a few hours. If you are doing any campaign and need a landing page that looks good and works, it's a great solution for your business.
Pros
Integrations
Testing for better conversions
Simple
Personalization according to audiences
Effortlessly sync your campaigns and ads
Cons
Pricing could be better (emerging markets)
Salesforce integration only in custom plans
No single sign-on on default plan
No global blocks on default plan

If you are not a programmer or you don't how to use your CMS. Instapage is just perfect to easily create and deploy amazing landing pages for your campaigns. You can even remotely co-work and collaborate with your team working on the design in real-time.
If you know how to code or manage your own CMS, Instapage perhaps won't be a good fit and definitely more expensive.
We use InstaPage to create all campaign landing page content for our business. It is used exclusively by the marketing department and helps support lead generation activity for our various product lines. Using Instapage helps us easily build campaign pages, without having to do any code work to build the page out.
Pros
Variety of Design Options and Templates
App Connections
Drag and Drop Builder
Feedback System is Excellent
Cons
Dynamic Text
More Creative Option for Forms
More Design Flexibility
Likelihood to Recommend
Well-suited for simple landing pages which don't have any complex functionality. Great for creating landing pages for lead generation campaigns - as it comes with tons of excellent templates and a variety of forms. Not great for pages that contain a lot of information and can potentially be very long. We found that Instapage is not a great fit for building pages that need to be updated frequently, like a blog page.
We use Instapage to build landing pages for our subdomains. We have used it for multiple business units and it requires very little technical knowledge to pick up and use. As long as you know how to set up subdomains, you are good to go. It is an easy drag and drop interface. One of the best I have experienced.
Pros
One of the best drag and drop interfaces I have experienced with a page builder
Easy to set up
Limited learning curve and technical knowledge requirements
Cons
No ability to transfer pages to new systems.
Pricey

Good if you are not looking to have all your software under one roof. Great option for being a standalone landing page solution.
[It's] Used by the digital department in our organization to create microsites and landing pages. This helps our digital infrastructure grow using their easy to use tools, creative design options, and full customizations to help move the process along. As such, this is a strong support for our organization at achieving our digital needs.

Instapage is very well suited for building out landing pages. It is less suitable for full websites that work with each other with multiple separated, yet interworking pages and data collection tools. Additionally, having separated forms on one single page is difficult to do, as such, you are recommended to only have one, which could impair collection of information. As such, it is useful in the building of landing pages.
We're using Instapage for all of our clients running Lead Gen PPC campaigns. It is used by only the Paid Media team at this point. It allows us to create several personalized landing pages for different search campaigns without the use of our own or the clients dev resources. The landing pages are fairly easy to create by team members with no dev/design experience and can be customized pretty comprehensively if needed. We also utilize the A/B testing features, which is another aspect our process that clients value.
Pros
Easy for team members that don't have dev/design experience to create quality landing pages
Has many integrations that can easily be connected to existing client CRMs/process and tools
Relatively affordable, simple pricing model, makes it more practical for clients with limited PPC spend
Cons
The mobile versions of pages usually require extra work and are prone to breaking, the responsive functionality could be improved
Instances of updates being made without getting notified. The most recent 2 step form update broke all of our forms and needed to be re-integrated and mobile pages had to be fixed
Only being able to have one user signed in at the same time is silly, it really inhibits our team when we're trying to meet deadlines with several clients
Likelihood to Recommend
Best suited when working with clients doing lead gen PPC campaigns. It is easy for team members with little design/dev experience to create quality, functional landing pages. These are also easy to scale, allowing to create customized landers for several keyword/audience segments. The tool/CRM integrations are easy and it's possible to get entire campaigns up and running in a day or so. E-commerce campaigns are a little more tricky and would probably suggest another solution.
We use Instapage to build lead generation landing pages for search engine marketing, Facebook ads, and emails. We use it to quickly create pages and test new concepts. It's great not to require development for every landing page template change.
Pros
Ease of use. I find Instapage to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use. It's a true drag n drop builder that makes good design simple.
Efficiency. The new Instablocks are excellent. You can easily create a standardized block of content and deploy/update across multiple (even hundreds) of usages. This saves a ton of time.
Excellent testing tools. It's really easy to create a variation of a landing page and A/B test it to a portion of your traffic. It's fast and the reporting is solid.
Cons
Can get a bit expensive. They've recently revamped the pricing packages and they're a bit more pricey. The more advanced packages are among the more expensive in the industry.
Responsiveness is good but somewhat limited. It's not that easy to create specific designs for tablets and screens between a laptop and mobile phone.
Support for items like sliders would be really useful. Essentially a way to scroll through images/screenshots without using 3rd party tools.
Likelihood to Recommend
Instapage is a great fit for anyone wanting to create a high number of professional landing pages without paying for a developer. A great fit for both SMB and larger businesses. Could get pricey for a non-funded startup though. Beyond price constraints, Instapage is a flexible and excellent choice.
We started using Instapage a few years ago when we needed a quick way to design great looking landing pages that also hooked into MailChimp. We were doing this not only for ourselves but also for our clients. Could we design stand-alone pages in WordPress? Sure - but the speed of implementation and the fact we could do this without tapping into our developer resources was a great way to grow our business.
Pros
Templates give you a great starting point for landing page design.
The integrations into other services is fantastic.
We haven't had a lot of issues, but when we have, their support team is great.
Cons
Having to render and move things to make landing pages mobile friendly can be a pain.
Setting up Social Media and SEO should be easier.
More flexible ways to use fonts would be a plus.

If you are driving any kind of traffic to your website from any source, the use of landing pages is essential. The fact you can put together a landing page and have it converting visitors into leads in less than an hour still amazes me.
We originally started using Instapage when we had a marketing platform that required coding for our landing pages. With such a small marketing department in our company we were limited in our ability to make great landing pages and that is when I was introduced to Instapage. I have been able to create beautifully designed landing pages with Instapage and recently they integrated with HubSpot (this is the platform we now use) so this will make my life even easier.
Pros
Instapage is a WYSWYG type landing page service. I don't think it could be easier to design landing pages.
Recently, HubSpot added an integration with Instapage but even before then I was able to grab the coding from my Instapage landing pages and add them to our website. Now with the integration it will be smoother and gathering marketing information from forms should be quick and easy.
Instapage provides several template landing pages so you really just need to drop in elements from your company. You can also build your own pages.
Cons
Originally, we used Pardot and Instapage and I had to pull the coding from our Instapage landing pages and throw that into Pardot to get nice looking landing pages. When we transitioned to HubSpot, they took our existing pages and did this for us. But now they added an integration with Instapage and I am guessing this will solve any issues with using Instapage going forward for our website's landing pages.

Instapage is definitely a great tool for smaller companies with a small marketing department. I know basic coding but that only got me so far when it came to building out landing pages. With Instapage I do not need to have any coding knowledge to build out a beautiful, functioning landing page. If you are using a software or platform that does not integrate with Instapage it might be difficult to use the forms to pull in marketing information. You can still do this but it would probably need to all be done with Instapage and then uploaded to your marketing platform.
Instapage is a great landing page software and platform. It is used across our entire organisation to make landing pages for a variety of marketing and announcement uses. We not only use it like expected as a landing page, but also as a way to invite others to try out new things at our company. It's a way to isolate something and gather a list of interested students and researchers.
Pros
I like that we can have conversations on the page while discussing potential edits and layouts. It's really nice to see comments as a "sticky note" on that particular view for all levels of marketers, graphic designers, and copywriters that are working on the project and critiquing each other.
It integrates with a variety of 3rd party tools seamlessly. We have it with WordPress and Aweber, but there are a lot of options as well.
Their customer service is freakin' amazing. Any problem I've had they've been quite thorough and professional to help me with. Often you don't really need to talk to the people, though. Their tutorials are detailed and written in layman's terms. It's so easy to follow their tutorials that you learn more tricks along the way, not just solve a headache.
The editing features are extensive. Sure, you could start with a template, but there are so many ways to tweak them or build from scratch that even a non-designer can make something stunning and effective.
The marketing techniques, such as localising and split-testing are useful. We have not needed to use them (other than as toys), but they are there and they work. They work really well.
Cons
Things are not intuitive at first, so it takes a bit of poking around in your profile and dashboard to see how things are connected, then move back and forth between your settings and dashboard. Even after watching the tutorial, I routinely forget how things are connected between these two areas of their website.
Publishing on your WordPress can seem to be a little arduous at first, but once you get the hand of having to have your WordPress dashboard open AND Instapage, it's pretty smooth going.
I'd love to see a way to add tags from the forms to Aweber. I think it was possible, but it's not obvious or easy to do in a few clicks.

We use it for landing pages, but I also high recommend using it for collecting volunteers for events -- or anything else you need to collect an email list for.
