Kantata

Vorteile

A key tool for resource management. Thanks to its numerous functionalities, Kantata is a simple and efficient tool for project management.

Nachteile

Kantata does not offers a lot of features. I think this can be perfect for beginners

Vorteile

Easy to submit hours for various projects, track time from previous periods.

Nachteile

Could be a simpler drop down on time submission.

Vorteile

Visibility into other employee’s schedule. Utilization percentage is helpful /easy to see.

Nachteile

Entering time PLUS additional requirement to click submit button makes it easy to forget “officially complete” entering time each week.

Vorteile

Great features. Easy to use and intuitive. The Mavenlink team is with you at every stage to help you with the design, implementation, build, and maintenance/support. The project management, time entry, and reporting are the most robust and seamless features.

Nachteile

There are other products Mavenlink can integrate with: Teams, Adobe. Mavenlink Support is very responsive and open to new ideas. I am comfortable bringing up new ideas knowing that it will be received well

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Mavenlink is very user-friendly and made it really easy for us to introduce the software to our staff. All information is kept in one place, which makes information-sharing much easier and everyone on the project has a better and more realistic idea of timelines, deliverables, allocated time etc.

Mavenlink has really helped us to improve our time-keeping and get a better idea of the time that our staff actually spends on completing specific tasks. The financial overview on all our projects has also proven to be very useful.

Nachteile

The integration with Quickbooks UK is still very basic so we can't really make use of it at the moment. The time tracking could also be simplified as it can get a bit confusing.

Vorteile

Full functional Automation in a box, if you can flow chart any process you can automate it on Kimble.

Nachteile

I don't have too much of complains, but you need to invest a lot of time and energy to fully master Kimble

Vorteile

It's easy to understand and use the program. I like the interactive function with QuickBooks and the easy-to-use Gantt charts. The representative who sold me the software was professional, customer-centric, and very helpful.

Nachteile

It's a bit confusing as to who you can add to access project worksheets/Gantt charts (i.e., not a subscriber, but an external person who would be viewing the project).

Vorteile

The way that it is organized by the project level. I like if there are many projects simultaneous in progress for one account, that you can see the visibility into it.

Nachteile

The thing I like least is exporting reports - we are still working the kinks out but it is slightly more complex to export reports that I need to utilize for billing purposes.
