Kantata Reviews

“Excellent Project Management Tool

Pros

Once past the initial learning curve, the software becomes easy to use.

Cons

Updating existing rate sheets within Rate Sheets is not feasible.

“Continuously Improving

Pros

This software facilitates effective team communication throughout projects, capturing individual time usage accurately. Collaboration is seamless, and templates save time.

Cons

Discrepancies in hourly work costs with multiple employees on a project can disrupt budget alignment. Additionally, comments may get lost unless specific staff members are tagged.

“New user - Impressed so far!

Pros

I value how scheduling hours for individuals on specific projects integrates directly with the resource management tool.

Cons

Streamlining the process to add resources directly within projects and pre-populating timesheets with scheduled hours would enhance efficiency.

“Best Project Management System

Pros

The features that allow us to track tasks and project expenses for clients are particularly helpful.

Cons

Support response times for technical issues can be sluggish at times.

“New user, smooth implementation

Pros

Transitioning from individual department spreadsheets to a unified point of truth with full project visibility has been transformative. The built-in finance management and integrations have streamlined administrative tasks, providing real-time project performance visibility.

Cons

Navigating integrations has been time-consuming during rollout, and support for implementation could be more timely.

“A product full of features that will enable your project management requirements

Pros

Kantata is quick to learn and easy to use, with standout features like timesheets and resource management crucial for project success.

Cons

Custom reporting is not intuitive and challenging to execute, limiting its accessibility to the team.

“Quite a useful system after you spend time learning and customizing it

Pros

The software simplifies timesheet tracking and offers decent reporting capabilities.

Cons

Customizable reports refresh infrequently, forcing reliance on canned reports for real-time data. The expense report experience is subpar.

“Increased capabilities for our company as a whole

Pros

Updating time tracking and making post-facto changes are easy with Kantata. Quickly assessing project run rate and status is invaluable, especially compared to our previous CRM's limitations.

Cons

Limitations on setting project boundaries and manual invoicing processes are drawbacks compared to previous CRM systems. Additionally, administrators lack the ability to update expenses.

“Great for project management, not great to interface to any other system.

Pros

Kantata excels in its primary function of project management.

Cons

Integrating Kantata with other systems proves extremely challenging, requiring custom solutions. The pricing model could be revised to provide better value for core functionalities like project management.
