Key strengths:

Intuitive interface
Wide range of features
Easy integration
Detailed reporting

Negative: The integration could be more intuitive, needs to correct a few features

Summary: This tool has been a game changer for managing multiple projects with clients. It provides easy communication, all in one place and helps keep projects on track. We love it!

Positive: The platform has been a wonderful tool for hosting solutions delivery and provides a one-stop-shop for clients and internal stakeholders for communications, timelines, and deliverables tracking. It is easy to use and provides transparency in real-time for all project members as well as easy deliverable tracking and project reporting.

Negative: Some additional Task Tracker configurations and usability updates would be helpful similar to excel functionality.

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.

Summary: Overall I would recommend this product to any team looking to collaborate on projects together and also its time-tracking tools are great.

Positive: The pros of this product include ease of use, ease of communication with teammates, and overall project management tools.

Negative: What I don't like about this software is how it occasionally has days where the connection is extremely slow.

Summary: Excellent all-in-one product for your internal business management. Maximize your results. Empower your team. Deliver better client outcomes.

Positive: Resource Management.
Financial Management.
Project Management.
Team Collaboration.
Business Intelligence.
Integrations & Workflows.

Negative: Nothing as such. It's one of the best tools available in the market.

Summary: Kantata is a very efficient and easy to use project management tool. I am using it for more than 2 years now and I am satisfied with its performance.

Positive: User interface of Kantata is simple and easy. One can easily find everything related to project.
Kantata insights helps to track project efficiently.

Negative: Kantata needs to develop a good mobile application to track projects on the go.

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.

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.

Summary: Overall its a great tool to manage projects and it is just getting better every year. Every project manager should have this tool to improve the business.

Positive: Kantata is a dream project management software for every project. It helps to manage portfolio, project and resources easily. Also, it is budget friendly.

Negative: Found none except the insights and user interface can be improved.

Summary: We have used Kantata for 5 years now, and the support and service are top-notch. We rely on it daily.

Positive: Easy to use, even for those who have never used it before. The integration with QB is fantastic, also.

Negative: More customization would be nice, for retainer clients.

Summary: Kantata is a great tool managing a project's entire lifecycle including pipeline, capacity, margins, etc. Whenever I have any questions their support staff is always quick to respond!

Positive: Easy to setup and great support! When switching to Kantata we saw an increase in productivity and improved visibility!

Negative: More custom reporting options that are easier to setup.

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.

Summary: Overall, Mavenlink is a very useful platform for our organization to manage the business with less effort. Its centralized dashboard gives the best project visualization.

Positive: Mavenlink is an impressive resource and project management platform. I loved its ability to track employee time with project management. UI is super clean. Has tons to business management to manage. Detailed interface with easy to navigate dashboard.

Negative: There isn't any negative to share about this tool.

Summary: Overall, Mavenlink has a broad function of support for every business to manage tons of activity from one dashboard. The interface is great. We highly recommend this tool.

Positive: Mavenlink adds power to your fingertips that assures complete business management can be handled. Using Mavenlink we can manage resources, projects, Business Intelligence and team collaboration.

Negative: Nothing so far. We are happy with this solution.
