Smartsheets is a great tool but it was missing the client communications piece. That has been the best part of Kantata where I don't have to search back for emails anymore and it's very easy to find notifications and signoff for deliverables within Kantata. Smartsheets does …
I have not had much experience with this other product, It was only for a few months during a part-time so I did not have to interact with the product on a regular basis. However, Mavenlink is much more intuitive and requires little to no training prior to using it. It is also …
We have evaluated about 15 different project management platforms and narrowed down our list to only five (Celoxis, Sciforma, Podio, Mavenlink, and Teamwork). Other solutions we evaluated were not able either to meet our vendor security requirements or were not flexible in …
Mavenlink is unique in that it provides a time audit summary that compares the actual
hours worked against the capacity of the work weeks or how many they could work
in a week; it also allows us to track the progress of work hours and the authorized
It was selected as it provides a central base for us to manage to business. The project management tools along with resourcing tools allows us to make the best use of our resources. User interface is intuitive and as it is browser based there is no need for installing any …
For holistic project management and finance, Mavenlink blows these competitors out of the water, at least that was the case when we made the switch, though I'm sure both programs have been continuing to improve. As far as time tracking, Mavenlink is so much faster and easier …
While Trello is very visual, it doesn't have the same, robust abilities that Mavenlink has for time-tracking, burn rates, and timelines. My design and development teams love the visual aspects of Trello for QA and for Content Layout of website builds, but Trello lacks all the …
The biggest benefit of using Mavenlink is that the vendor allows you to pay for only what you use. Mavenlink is capable of connecting projects with people, unifying projects and financials and provides teams with technology and methodology that enable them to complete projects …
Prior to Kimble, we were using a system called Deltek Traffic Live. This system was sufficient in handling simple small data but was extremely not user-friendly. It required a lot of manual adjustments with exported data since we couldn't tailor the system to our business …

Chose Kantata PS Cloud
Mavenlink is the only platform that gave me a balance between a great, intuitive user experience with good reporting, good templates, and resource/capacity planning.
Note: I used these in other agencies and other companies before coming to Golden Spiral. While the interfaces and mobile functionality for Asana and Trello are much nicer than Mavenlink, they just don't have the power and connectivity of MVL. Microsoft Project requires a slide …
We have since switched over to JIRA and let me tell you, it was probably the best decision we have made as a company. We chose Mavenlink based on promises from the sales team about future roadmap work that really never happened. We thought Mavenlink would easily integrate …
I preferred Salesforce better. In Salesforce, I would have a query view of all my projects on one page that I'd bookmark. Then, I'd update each project when needed (that's 3 clicks, from bookmark, to clicking on project, to description). Mavenlink, it takes so much more. There …
We performed an in-depth review of Wrike and Mavenlink and found Mavenlink to outshine Wrike in every category which mattered to our organization and business units. We looked at several case studies in similar companies as ours and found that Mavenlink best aligned with our …
Mavenlink is much more robust than other project management platforms that we have used in the past. The ability to match each task to a preset time, budget and invoice objective is better than their competitors. It is also worth noting that Mavenlink has the built-in time …
Mavenlink is not a creative agency specific system which Workamajig is. Mavenlink could use more updates to their resourcing tool, time tracking and reporting in order to be more beneficial to a creative based company.
Mavenlink takes the best of what Basecamp, Harvest, and Trello have to offer and combines them into one easy-to-use, intuitive, cloud based suite. It's nice to have all of these different functionalities built into one place, that also features a dedicated customer support …
