Mavenlink Reviews

Pros

I appreciate the Inbox feature, where I can see everything that's happening on all my projects - changes made, comments, tickets added, etc.

Cons

The various views and sorting options can be bewildering at times due to an overload of information.

Pros

User-friendly software that is also intuitive. The ability to carry over projects from the prior week is beneficial.

Cons

I don't have any significant concerns. Perhaps a desktop version would be a valuable addition.

Pros

Everything in the software is user-friendly.

Cons

I've been using this software for the past two months, so a comprehensive analysis is pending.

Pros

The ability to break out project time for the most accurate reporting to management is valuable.

Cons

Occasionally, it freezes, requiring me to come back to it at another time. This might be due to high volume usage, and it is the most frustrating aspect of using the software.

Pros

Sometimes not too intuitive, but it becomes easier with use and time.

Cons

I encounter difficulty in deleting time slots that have already been filled.

Pros

The Time and Expense feature is useful and more straightforward compared to the time tracker I've used.

Cons

Integrating with another HR platform is not as straightforward, at least according to what I've heard from the internal team.

Pros

It can track time. That is about all. Nothing really works in the manner that we need efficiently. Yes, we can make it work, but for quick projects, too much time is needed to set up a project for time tracking.

Cons

The UI is subpar, making it challenging to use correctly. Consider adopting a modular setup with streamlined core functionalities for improved efficiency. The project setup takes excessively long, and certain settings may pose challenges down the road. Features are not as robust as in other systems, especially in Project Management within this program. Mavenlink should prioritize doing one thing exceptionally well instead of attempting to cover everything at once and falling short compared to other tools.

Pros

Mavenlink is easily understandable management software that simplifies business organization.

Cons

Navigation can feel prolonged in certain instances. Perhaps implementing some accessibility changes would be beneficial.

Pros

Ease of use, repeated for emphasis. It is user-friendly.

Cons

There have been instances where the database was slightly corrupted.

Pros

Proper categorization of each and every field. Time Tracking (Timesheet). Detailed overview of projects.

Cons

With numerous features, proper training becomes essential for effective use.

Pros

Simple to use. Easy to input T&E and get that approved. Input of time-offs is recorded there. Overall, it's user-friendly.

Cons

I faced issues while trying to delete an accidental time entry; it just gets stuck loading.

Pros

We primarily use it for time and expense. Expense reports are pretty straightforward. The interface is very intuitive, and the additional feature to add notes to each project is useful. It's pretty resource-light, so it works well on slow internet as well.

Cons

Having some form of App integration for easier receipt uploads would be beneficial (assuming this feature isn't already implemented in our company).

Pros

I appreciate that it's online and accessible anywhere. I also like that the timer remembers where you are, even when the browser/computer is restarted.

Cons

It might be more beneficial or preferable to have an alternative method of time tracking where the start time corresponds to an actual time of the day. This way, both you and managers could see what activities were undertaken at specific times, rather than just knowing "I spent 8 hours doing X at some point today, but I don't know when." The timer can be somewhat cumbersome. After completion, one has to manually search for the project/task to attach it to. It would be an improvement if the system retained the last selected task. Additionally, submitting time doesn't update the timesheet if you're currently on it; a refresh is required. I typically keep the timesheet open, add the time to the existing project on the sheet, and then clear the timer, as it provides a straightforward and smooth experience. The API should be more user-friendly. Is obtaining an API key only possible through your manager? Users should have the capability to access their own accounts independently.

Pros

I like that all my projects are in one space.

Cons

The download feature for tracking is somewhat uninteresting when sent to clients.

Pros

The timesheets are very easy to use. I like how you can prefill projects from the previous week.

Cons

Locating projects can be challenging at times.

Pros

It is very user-friendly, although it has a low-quality graphic design in my perspective.

Cons

The graphic design lacks appeal and requires further consideration.

Pros

The diversity of access to different tabs is attractive, and with some adjustments, Mavenlink could evolve into excellent software.

Cons

Many features and functionalities lack effective construction, making it time-consuming to create and edit projects. There is no easy way to mass-create tasks or generate projects efficiently.

Pros

Aligning all resources to a specific task creates visibility.

Cons

In the limited experience I've had, I haven't found any issues.

Pros

The features are intuitive, and functionality isn't overly complex; one can learn in less than an hour.

Cons

There have been difficulties submitting PTO through the software, and we hope that will be resolved.

Pros

It assists our clients in staying on track and on time for their projects.

Cons

The user interface can be confusing for clients at times.
