Mavenlink Reviews in May 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

MIGRATED TO Kantata

Endless Possibilities

What do you like best? There is a ton of flexibility and functionality with Mavenlink, from seeing tasks in list view or the option to use a Gantt view. Budgeting, tracking expenses, scheduling, time tracking, messaging, file transfer, etc - this is the most robust project management tool I've used to date. What do you dislike? With so much functionality and flexibility there are a lot of different ways to do the same thing which has caused confusion and inconsistencies with how ...

Director, Operations

What do you like best? Mavenlink is flexible. We choose to be more rigorous in our project management practices but you don't have to be. When I am asked to "make it work this way", I usually can. What do you dislike? There is a 2 hour timelag between Mavenlink and Insights (for them to run ETL. It is a inconvenience when I want to test something right away. The issue is minor.. I would like a Post Only permission so that clients invited to the project can not change the project ...

Great tool for team collaboration

What do you like best? Mavenlink is great for being able to see all of my projects in one place, and I also really like that anyone on my team can easily stay up to date on where things stand. Also, time tracking is great - very easy to use. What do you dislike? I do not like that I cannot easily export my list of tasks in a way that is easy to read. The excel data dump is difficult, as it requires that I format/sort the data every time I export, which is daily. Not convenient at all. ...

Beyond Amazing Customer Service

What do you like best? My favorite part about Mavenlink has to be the quality of customer service we received from Daniel Apple. Any time any of our team had a question, he was all over it! If he didn't have the answer, he found the answer for us in no time at all. We feel comfortable signing up for the Mavenlink service, because we know that we will have support every step of the way. Anyone that we have been on a call with at Mavenlink has been beyond helpful. What do you dislike? So ...

Animation company upgrade

What do you like best? I love the paper trail that everyone can see. Sometimes with emails, things get lost or 100 replies in you forget who said what and when but with mavenlink there is that perfect record of every message every sign off every single piece of content submitted though the portal so for record keeping, and holding team and clients responsible it is an ideal solution. What do you dislike? I dislike the budget feature once someone has paid their commissioning invoice it ...

Well Thought Out, Lots of Potential

What do you like best? Power-user features like dependent tasks, start and due dates, Gantt charts, time tracking - there are lots of features all integrated into a single interface, so I don't have to cobble together the features I need from several different services. What do you dislike? Some puzzling choices like no copy/paste of tasks and some UI choices like launching new tabs for everything. No warnings on exiting a tab without saving means you could potentially loose entered ...

Highly adaptable PSA and project management tool

What do you like best? The Mavenlink support team we are working with is very responsive and able to help us sort through not only best practices but how to potentially customize the tool to better suit our particular business needs. What do you dislike? The day based scheduling doesn't fit our business process very well. It would be a lot easier if we could just forecast at the week level. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Great application. In desperate need of mobile app.

What do you like best? I found it very easy to set up projects and timelines. The ability to quickly update a project and add time spent. It was easy to get a quick overview of all projects and see recent activity. What do you dislike? The biggest downside to this application is the lack of a mobile app. The mobile version of this site was terrible to use! Navigation on a desktop was pretty good, but could be improved. Some pages, like Gantt charts, looked different and didn't allow ...

Just scratching the surface

What do you like best? I am a data junkie and I love the amount of granularity that you can get with Mavenlink with the unlimited tasks that you can put into a project. I also like having the ability to control what other team members can bill time too. It really helps in keeping things consistent regardless of who is managing a project. I also like their streamlined approach that they have with their project templates. I can put a placeholder for assignments and then select a person ...

Best Overall Project MGMT System Available

What do you like best? Our website design & marketing team was looking for a project management system that could handle simple communication between ourselves and clients, management of both simple and complex projects as well as management of project financials/budgets. After hours and hours of research, we found that Mavenlink was the only system available that could do all of the above. We've been very happy so far with Mavenlink and their development team's noticeably frequent ...
