    "Great tool to manage projects for any company"

    5 out of 5 stars Posted 2021-04-13

    Pros: Mavenlink is a very powerful tool to manage projects and there are multiple reasons we went for it after throughly analyzing other tools. We have over 850 employees spread out in 15 offices across the globe and Mavenlink is very easy to use thanks to its intuitive interface and all the help tutorials, videos, FAQs, and great live support. Overall, we've been using it for 5 years.

    The other positive thing is Mavenlink has many integrations with 3rd party tools like JIRA, Salesforce, and many others. It's a huge plus there's also Mavenlink API for everything else that isn't yet officially supported.

    The platform has project templates, Gantt chart, time tracking tools, expense reports, timesheets, invoicing, file storage, collaboration feed, resource planner and all kinds of reports. It is accompanied by very flexible permission management and different rate cards depending on a region. What is also nice, you can invite client users to projects for free.

    The notification management is pretty flexible and is done via emails that you can configure in many ways to not get overwhelmed with all the updates (a big plus).

    Last but not least, there is a web-optimized mobile app and a browser plug-in to do time tracking and project updates on the go.

    Cons: With all the benefits, there are a few minor inconveniences. For example, you cannot select multiple tasks/milestones/deliverables in a project and do a mass-update (i.e. change status or assignees) - you have to go one by one (as of 2020 there was an updated task tracker in beta which will address this). File manager portion could also be expanded and use some permission management, folders, upload requests or sharing links. It doesn't look like Mavenlink supports multiple languages (at least we use English UI across the company and the help portal didn't suggest any language settings per user). Other than that there isn't much to add.

    Overall: We do marketing SaaS implementations for some of the biggest companies out there and Mavenlink is our project management tool. It helps us keep projects on track and within the set budgets, improves collaboration with customers, and makes the whole project management easier and more efficient.

    "Sophisticated and well rounded project management"

    4 out of 5 stars Posted 2020-11-16

    Pros: Has a wide variety of ways to review your team's time management and keep track of project budgets. My company is in consulting so keeping close track of how we budget our time and who is assigned to which projects against the cost of the project itself. The time tracking entry system is super easy and simple, even while its project management features can get super complex.

    Cons: It would be great if we could get notifications to flag if, for example, a contractor spends more time than we had budgeted/allocated them for in the tool.

    Overall: Mavenlink is a great tool if you need a way to keep close track of your projects, time, and budgets. Our team's finance lead is the main user of the tool, but it's best used in close coordination with project managers to make sure everyone is keeping information up to date and making the most use of the tool.
