    Summary

    Overall, Kantata is a good project management software for businesses that are looking for a user-friendly and feature-rich solution. However, it can be expensive and its customization options are limited.

    Kantata is not as customizable as some other project management software. This means that you may not be able to find a perfect fit for your specific needs.

    Easy to use tool for streamlining your Agency

    Updated: Jun 02 2023
    Summary

    Since we are a growing agency with multiple project and hundreds of resources, it is easy to use Kantata for resource planning, allocation, and following that allocation during execution. We can aim for higher resource utilization with this.

    Positive

    Single Dashboard to review all submitted, resubmitted and pending timesheets which makes weekly timesheet review a simple task. It is much better than Tempo timesheets that I have used in past.

    Negative

    Nothing in particular but more filter and sorting options on project page would have been more helpful as it takes a while to find what you are looking for in it's current view.

    Summary

    Overall, this is a great product that enables us to work more efficiently and easily track the hours spent on specific tasks within a project.

    Positive

    My team and I loved the user-friendly interface! We only did about 15 minutes of training to get the basics and then everyone got the rest of it by themselves. It's that easy.

    Negative

    It is sometimes hard to see the number of hours spent on billable vs non-billable tasks on a project.

    Great tool to manage projects for any company

    Date: Apr 13 2021
    Summary

    We do marketing SaaS implementations for some of the biggest companies out there and Mavenlink is our project management tool. It helps us keep projects on track and within the set budgets, improves collaboration with customers, and makes the whole project management easier and more efficient.

    Positive

    Mavenlink is a very powerful tool to manage projects and there are multiple reasons we went for it after throughly analyzing other tools. We have over 850 employees spread out in 15 offices across the globe and Mavenlink is very easy to use thanks to its intuitive interface and all the help tutorials, videos, FAQs, and great live support. Overall, we've been using it for 5 years.

    The other positive thing is Mavenlink has many integrations with 3rd party tools like JIRA, Salesforce, and many others. It's a huge plus there's also Mavenlink API for everything else that isn't yet officially supported.

    The platform has project templates, Gantt chart, time tracking tools, expense reports, timesheets, invoicing, file storage, collaboration feed, resource planner and all kinds of reports. It is accompanied by very flexible permission management and different rate cards depending on a region. What is also nice, you can invite client users to projects for free.

    The notification management is pretty flexible and is done via emails that you can configure in many ways to not get overwhelmed with all the updates (a big plus).

    Last but not least, there is a web-optimized mobile app and a browser plug-in to do time tracking and project updates on the go.

    Negative

    With all the benefits, there are a few minor inconveniences. For example, you cannot select multiple tasks/milestones/deliverables in a project and do a mass-update (i.e. change status or assignees) - you have to go one by one (as of 2020 there was an updated task tracker in beta which will address this). File manager portion could also be expanded and use some permission management, folders, upload requests or sharing links. It doesn't look like Mavenlink supports multiple languages (at least we use English UI across the company and the help portal didn't suggest any language settings per user). Other than that there isn't much to add.

    Great Resource Management Tool

    Date: Sep 08 2021
    Summary

    Overall very satisfied with the product. PSO of about 150 people strong. Consultants find the time entry easy to use. Management loves the reports. PMs would like to see better management of projects/resources functionality added.

    Positive

    User friendly interface, fast, and dependable. We're not using the tool to its max potential (yet), but so far we're overall happy with what it provides.

    Negative

    The fly-out left menu bar is a bit annoying when you're trying to grab screenshots.

    A modern tool that's been great for our agency.

    Date: Apr 13 2021
    Summary

    Overall, Kantata was adopted readily by our staff and switching to it was a good move for our business. We're looking into using more features and getting even more out of it.

    Positive

    We previously used Workamajig, but felt limited by its reporting capabilities and its ability to integrate with other systems. Kantata has given us visibility to data we didn't have before, which has been a huge benefit to our business.

    Negative

    In the implementation process we uncovered a few quirks around invoicing and timesheet approvals that prevented us from using Kantata exactly how we wanted to use it. We've had to adapt to the tool a bit, instead of the other way around.

    A great product for Project and Timesheet management

    Date: Sep 08 2021
    Summary

    The overall experience of using Kantata was superb! We saw a good spike in productivity of the resources and management tasks has been made much easy with the product.

    Positive

    - Timesheet management features
    - Resource and Allocation management features
    - Workflow management features
    - Ease of setup and on-demand customer support
    - Report capabilities
    - Improvised Project and Portfolio management compared to other ppm tools

    Negative

    No cons in fact but as a suggestion ease of use is something that can be improved. For example, for new users in our organization, we had to give them a small session on using Kantata.

    Date: Sep 28 2021
    Summary

    Overall, allows for me and my staff to work collaboratively and efficiently on tasks for our clients.

    Positive

    This program allows me and my co-workers to know what is expected of us each month, where our clients stand, provides us with a place to document our work and the time dedicated to the tasks. Genuinely, I find this program to offer the most helpful features when working on projects collaboratively.

    Negative

    Kantata, formerly Mavenlink, will randomly stop working occasionally and the support team will have to fix the bug. Can be inconvenient.
