### "I absolutely love this tool. "

May 22, 2015

5.0

The online Chat support is amazing and my projects flow perfectly. Finally a PM tool that makes TOTAL Business Sense. Thank you Lord and the developers of Mavenlink. I recommend this PM tool to everyone.

Pros

Everything. From building Projects to tracking issues. Adding team members with specific Permissions and have a mission control style cloud based tool where I can access it anywhere is GENIUS!!

Cons

I have not found any yet.

### "Mavenlink's customer support is very receptive"

December 31, 2018

2.0

Pros

We suggested several features that Mavenlink was missing when we first signed up, and they were very open to discussion gaps in the service.

Cons

Ultimately, the cost of Mavenlink and the limited integration with our Quickbooks account led us away to another platform.

### "Slow and inefficient tool"

December 10, 2019

2.0

I would not recommend Mavenlink to other teams or companies.

Pros

I do not enjoy using Mavenlink, the platform is very convoluted and does not allow administrators to open up the proper visibility to team members.

Cons

Mavenlink is extremely poorly designed and does not equip our teams with the ability to effectively use our data to inform business.

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry about your experience. Mavenlink does have robust permission settings as well as access groups. Both of these features allow admins multiple ways, to provide granular levels of visibility to their teams. Please find a link to specific information relating to your concerns regarding project permissions https://mavenlink.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002779293 and access groups https://mavenlink.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024200493. We would like to learn more about your specific use case so we can also connect you with your CSM to further assist you. You can also contact our support team at support@mavenlink.com, 24/7, for further assistance. Thank you, Tiffany Nguyen Sr. Manager, Customer Advocacy

### "Mavenlink Helped Define Processes for our Strategic Consulting team "

January 8, 2016

4.0

The Mavenlink application is good for project that have a definitive tasks that are use repetitively. The Add-on Insights reporting tool is a good addition to the standard reporting tool that the application come with that help further dissect and analysis the data to help us forecast and understand what activities our consultants are working on in a real-time basis.

Pros

A Clean UI interface with reporting capability are the two key factors why we chosen Mavenlink over other competitor.

Cons

It appears that Mavenlink need custom development to integrate with other system (Expense System), there are no existing adaptor/plug-in that can perform the task.

### "Mavenlink Review"

May 26, 2015

4.5

Pros

Mavenlink has just about everything you need for successful project management. I manage roughly 30 projects at a time. Mavenlink is one of the only platforms that cleanly consolidates the progress/action of each of the projects in a clean dashboard. Additionally, as a vendor, Mavenlink's webinars have been helpful with getting up to speed with every new feature they roll out.

Cons

This is the same as above. Mavenlink has so many features that its easy to lose focus or want to change how you have a project set up. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. The mobile app / site is not that user friendly and lacks a handful of features.

### "This tool has been great for organizing our projects."

February 27, 2018

5.0

It has been very useful and has done what we expected.

Pros

The ease of use and the ability to track and share the updates of our projects quickly. Keeps us on task and a clear view of what is going on.

Cons

It is a little costly.

### "Very receptive customer support"

December 10, 2018

3.0

Companies that focus on CRM or SaaS might find Mavenlink more useful than we did.

Pros

\- If there are features/settings that you don't have, the Mavenlink team was very receptive to implementing suggestions. - Good time management tracking program

Cons

\- Project management resources were lacking. We never used the project correspondence section as it was cumbersome and not very intuitive. - Chrome plug-in crashed periodically

### "Great Tool - In Time"

July 20, 2017

4.0

Overall, extremely effective in keeping our projects moving and keeping team members in the loop - may take a bit to get adjusted to the interface when coming from other PM software but that's expected when switching from any right?

Pros

\- This is a great collaborative / project management tool that has kept all members of all teams aligned on project status - Love the hierarchy system, and the ability to be notified when my task is ready to be handled that is contingent on the completion of a task by another team member

Cons

\- Takes a bit of time to get used to the interface, but once you understand the process it becomes extremely efficient - There are many places to put information, just have to be on the same page with team members where this information will go (description vs. activity)

### "Mavenlink is a step up from our previous system"

March 4, 2015

4.0

Pros

Mavenlink is super easy to use and integrates well with our workflow. The software is much more powerful than our previous project management software without much added complexity. We are a small agency with a backlog, so the utilization and planning portions of the software help out immensely. I also like that the product integrates with Google Apps, and the chrome web extension is helpful as well. The company continues to better the product. We've had the software for less than 6 months, and they've already made two updates with new/better features.

Cons

A lot of this stuff is just being picky, but: the mobile version of the site is usable, but not as intuitive as the desktop version. As far as I know there is no native mobile app. There are several times where you jump from one screen to another when it would be nice if you could record data directly on the current screen (time tracking for example). Some features seem like they should go together but are not necessarily interconnected (task estimates and scheduling for utilization would be an example). I wish user permissions were a bit more fine-grained.

### "Intuitive, flexible and holistic"

March 31, 2016

4.5

Pros

The folks at Mavenlink have clearly thought every possible eventuality faced by a user on their platform – most of the time, it's a bit like they're in your head and understand what you want to do. Which is nice – the product allows me to track time in multiple ways, and I don't feel too restricted. Editing time entries is also quick and easy.

Cons

Though the demo videos/webinars provided by Mavenlink are helpful, there aren't any guided walkthroughs for when you use the system as a new user. So if you don't put in the time and effort to find your way around, this could be off-putting (at least for some). Little hints, tips, and highlights of things easily missed could be really helpful, especially as (for some new users) there's already a lot of information to digest.

Pros

All managers will be able to maintain the financial records in one centralized and safe located database.

Everything in Mavenlink is amazing. It is super easy to use and it is pleasant to the eye.

### "Makes time tracking less of a headache"

July 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

I like how Mavenlink easily can track hours between different projects and tasks on those projects with less clicks. It makes logging hours during busy work weeks less of a hassle compared to other solutions I've used.

Cons

Some of the navigation in the left panel could be improved.

### "Overall, a great project management tool"

March 9, 2015

5.0

Mavenlink is great for keeping track of projects. The tools saves me countless hours of having to track projects with spreadsheets, email or a desktop tool. They are constantly releasing new features and their support is always available and helpful. I love the integrated time and expense feature, gantt chart, project overview, analytics, and API (though I haven't given the API a run as yet). Its great that my customers can sign in and communicate with us. No more searching through email conversations. The only thing missing is a basic CRM for keeping track of customers, the ability to modify the number of hours in a day, and the ability to force users to select a task when submitting time. The groups feature and custom fields partially fills the CRM void but switching between companies/groups means having to reset the filter. It would also be great if the application saved viewing preferences. I like to see all projects but once I open a project, the list defaults back to show the 10 most recently edited. Same thing goes for tasks with sub-tasks. I like to see all sub-tasks but once I switch to something else, I have to manually expand each tasks with sub-tasks.

September 30, 2018

3.0

Pros

We used Mavenlink for a year. The project management features were nice and it helped streamline our resource allocation for staff time.

Cons

The initial onboarding process was slow and our team was reluctant to continue using Mavenlink as it was not able to integrate with Quickbooks and we ended up having to double our time/expense tracking for accounting purposes.

April 15, 2018

Pros

Simple to you use, assigning tasks, creating templates, mobile friendly, integration with google apps.

Cons

There's not much to dislike. I'd like to see a more robust file storage capability so our clients can access documents through a tiered folder structure. I'd like to see the Analytics reports and invoices have the added capability for customization.

### "Helps us track our team better"

January 11, 2016

We use MavenLink predominantly to track our team's tasks and schedules, especially on assigning people to upcoming project. We also use it in conjunction with JIRA and integrate both systems, with MavenLink providing us a clean and useful overview of our whole organization's efforts.

Pros

Jacquie provides us with great service and facilitates our requests It integrates with JIRA It produces beautiful reports Offers a great high level overview of our projects Powerful scheduling tool

Cons

Integration with JIRA is still not perfected Does not have a bulk edit feature Doesn't have enough customization available
