"A modern tool that's been great for our agency." Posted 2021-04-13
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Overall: 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.

Pros: Mavenlink makes it easy to manage a project from start to finish with real-time time tracking. I love the ability to see burn rates and to know at a quick glance the health of my projects.
Cons: My one con is with checklists. You can still mark a task as complete even when the checklist items have not been checked off. That one thing drives me nuts.
Overall: This platform has saved me thousands of hours and helped my team stay on budget and meet deadlines. If you manage multiple staff and projects, Mavenlink can do the same for you.
