    "Easy to use tool for streamlining your Agency"

    Edited 2023-06-02

    Pros: 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.

    Cons: 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.

    Overall: 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.

    Posted 2023-05-18

    Pros: 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.

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

    Overall: 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.

    "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.
