Pros

From an ease-of-use perspective Mavenlink's straightforward time entry and project creation are complemented by access to numerous reporting features particularly valued by leadership.

Cons

Three major issues are noted: 1. The software's occasional slowness exacerbated during extensive project edits. Customer service's suggestion to clear the cache offers only a temporary solution. 3.

A request for Mavenlink to automatically distribute time when tasks are extended or shortened.
