We've created an organization for one but before we fully go down this road, we're wondering if there might be a better approach?

    What do you mean by tracking competitors?

    She's asking if anyone uses Pipedrive to track insights about their competitors.  For example, when pitching to lead, if you gain some insight about a competitor you keep running into, do you log this information into Pipedrive in some way where you can easily pull it up the next time you to a lead who is using that competitor's product.  She's asking if anyone has come up with a way to pull up all the insights about a competitor across all deals.

    You could create a custom field with competitor names, etc. If you make this a single option field, you will be able to use it in Insights.

    Potentially make a Pipeline and create deals for each competitor.

    Then use stages to track different milestones each competitor reaches.
