### "Much easier than our previous software"

September 23, 2020

4.0

Pros

It is very easy to log my time tracking.

Cons

It is not always easy to edit my time tracking when rejected. I wish reporting was easier for me. I cannot always see my month to day utilization easily.

### "Mavelink review"

July 28, 2021

4.0

It is great for what I use it for.

Pros

Easy to use, good loading times, simple but effective design, great reporting capabilities.

Cons

You have to manually join projects (are not assigned them automatically). This is only a minor inconvenience.

### "Simple UI that aids in user adoption."

May 23, 2017

5.0

Impressive visibility into the state and health of my projects and organization, greatly increased resource management capabilities.

Pros

Master resource planning module, combined with built in BI Tool (Insights) offers users impressive data analytics functionality.

Cons

The only con that I can identify with the software is that it is not extremely customizable, but that is by design. It is straight forward software that doesnt encounter issues associated with other highly customized systems (breaks, lack of user adoption, over complexity)

### "Great system for time tracking, with lots of reporting capabilities "

May 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Massive amount of data you can submit, with features being easy to add through request. You can easily report on all data you input, which is a gray feature that not all systems make easy.

Cons

There's more than one way to navigate around the site, log time, pull reports from different pages, which can be a little complicated for first time users.

### "Experienced IT Professional"

May 25, 2016

4.5

Pros

Does exactly what it sets out to achieve - provides a collaborative project management environment that hits all the right buttons. It has improved our project control and reporting and allowed us to engage our Clients. We stopped using Clarizen as soon as we found Mavenlink and are now weening ourselves and our clients off Basecamp. Mavenlink covers both deep PM features and functionality with an ease of use that allows clients to see what is happening without need to get involved with the 'how'. Whilst the product isn't 100% perfect - it is heads above other products that I have used and reviewed.

Cons

Needs a company/team calendar function. You need to be able to block out users absence / holidays / etc. easily - and Mavenlink doesn't handle that without having to set up an 'absence' project. GANTT / Project views - need to be able to save your views.

### "Clubessential Project Manager"

April 11, 2019

4.0

A great project management software.

Pros

I love that it can be used to track project progress and trainers can also track their time against their projects.

Cons

Reporting is very clunky. It is also very hard to search for specific projects. Being able to drill down for specific projects would be awesome.

### "Great team collaboration and project management"

June 21, 2016

5.0

Pros

The solution is clearly valuable. It increases our team efficiency, improves quality of time tracking, and makes data for decision making by managers more organized and accessible.

Cons

One of their greatest strengths can also be a weakness. They continually roll out meaningful upgrades. My experience is they are well tested, but sometimes the changes require people to adapt to a new way of accessing the same information. You need to be willing to adapt with it. You could not write a manual on how to use mavenlink and think it will stay up to date.

### "Great project management cloud based solution"

April 12, 2018

4.0

Good project management solution, however it is limited in some of its features.

Pros

One of the nice features of Mavenlink is the ability to track time entries from a Chrome browser plugin without needing to go to the full Mavenlink site. The mobile site is fairly intuitive and operates flawlessly.

Cons

Mavenlink is a bit limited in terms of the number of tiered child tasks that can be created. It would be useful if there was a larger hierarchy that could be created, and not limited to 2 tiers.

### "Kantata is a strong and adaptable project management tool created to assist organisations and people"

February 27, 2023

5.0

All things considered, Kantata is a strong and adaptable project management tool that provides a number of features and capabilities to aid you in maintaining control over your projects. Kantata is a great option for anyone looking for a complete project management solution thanks to its user-friendly UI, collaboration features, and customizable options.

Pros

Kantata's intuitive and user-friendly layout, which makes it simple for anyone to get started with the application, is one of its most notable features.

Cons

Additionally, users can customise Kantata in a number of ways to suit their unique requirements and work processes.

July 28, 2021

4.0

Pros

Mavelink has a clear interface, it is easy to use and very intuitive.

If I took notes in a task in the timesheet, should be reflected in the monthly section.

### "A convenient time management tool at a premium"

April 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

It streamlines some of the more superfluous details required by other tools to let you just record what's needed.

Cons

Its packages range from a bit more expensive to considerably more expensive when compared to its competitors

### "Limited Use and Just a Few Hiccups"

February 3, 2021

4.0

Pros

Once I know where I track my hours it's super easy to use.

Cons

The few hiccups are just editing hours on an item I've already added to my timesheet. To delete a an item I feel like it takes too many clicks. I think it ask "are you sure you want to delete" and that feel extraneous to me. It would be nice to have a way inside the tool to be added to to project. Instead, I need to send a message to the PM to have them add me before I can log some hours.

### "Extremely effective tool for time management"

July 20, 2021

5.0

I use Mavenlink to log my time for my superiors and also to see the tasks that I am assigned.

Pros

I like the ease of use and the efficiency and speed at which I can log my spent time in just about 3-4 minutes.

Cons

Joining different projects requires one two extra clicks then what I think could be optimum for efficiency.

### "Many features but lacked the colorful UI we wanted for a creative agency"

January 15, 2020

4.0

I joined a small creative agency as a consultant to help improve their project management systems. As such, I reviewed their existing PM software and tested other options to find the best fit for their needs. They'd been subscribing to Mavenlink for a few years but barely used it for anything but time sheets since the features and interface weren't quite working for them. So, Mavenlink was very expensive for what they were getting out of it. After trying out a more robust use of Mavenlink AND other software including Monday, Float, Wrike, ZoHo, Teamwork and more... we landed on Avaza and have been happy with it so far.

Pros

I liked the very clear left hand navigation panel and the easy way to set up a project with budget information.

Cons

Our team wanted a calendar view of projects and more robust visibility to our resource utilization. Mavenlink didn't have the options we wanted. It's also expensive compared to other platforms. And, it's simply not as colorful as others, which was a consideration for our visually oriented team. The best choice really just depends on the combination of options you're looking for?

### "Easy collaboration and can stay organized"

March 22, 2018

5.0

Pros

A simple and clean user interface that is easy to navigate, has clear data visualization tools, and lets our project managers see the exact information they need.

Cons

No hours tasks vs. expense tasks. Hard to prevent user error from tracking hours to expense tasks which causes the budget to burn.

### "Customer Support"

January 8, 2016

4.0

Working with Jacquie Smith (Client Success Manager) is always a pleasure! She is very responsive and helpful and does an excellent job ensuring all my questions are answered in a timely fashion.

Pros

Tracking utilization and budget against projects is my main objective. I find Mavenlink to assist greatly with these tasks.

Cons

My current struggle is with the task and timeline. I believe Mavenlink is working to allow the ability to export the task and timeline / Gantt chart and I look forward to the ability to do so in the future.

I like how easy the time tracking is in that I can easily select the project and then my role in order to enter in my time.

It is outdated in that updates can take an hour to populate. Also, the resource planning is not intuitive whatsoever.

Pros

So far the thing I like the most is the Dashboard. Having tasks, time and projects in summary form on one page.

### "Has potential but not quite there"

January 19, 2018

3.0

Pros

It's capability to track all of our expense for projects, and the functionality of being able to communicate on every project

Cons

It is kind of stale and isn't as fresh looking as we would like. It is also really hard to get in touch with tech support when things go wrong.

### "Too Many Features, Not Enough Focus"

September 30, 2018

3.0

We tried it out for a few weeks and did not love it. However, the sales team is really good and accommodating so if there is a good fit with your project, they'll help you find it.

Pros

The customer support team seemed really good and the web interface was very polished. I can see it working well for a group that focuses on just one large project.

Cons

It was not a good fit for my team, which focuses on a large number of medium-sized projects. The software was good but it felt like they tried to pack in too many features, so some of it was overwhelming and for managing day-to-day tasks the process was a bit cumbersome.
