Kantata PS Cloud vs. MARMIND

It is appropriate and even exceeds expectations 90% of the time. It makes project tracking very easy and visually accessible for most cases. The only occasion where Mavenlink came slightly short was for a special project that required more interaction options among project members. I am certain there are ways to work around that issue, but we did not find them.

MARMIND helps for the simple and complete structuring of complex marketing efforts. MARMIND is great support for marketing automation with room atop. We did communicate better within our marketing team. It was a big performance enhancement throughout marketing. MARMIND is easy and comfortable to learn and use with no delay starting. The adaption to our needs and wishes was really great and left a tight binding to it. We are convinced that the support by MARMIND was a great help and sustain to our intents. We realized that we did the very right decision to change to this marketing platform. We gained more overview and control in the right mixture between grossness and detail. We change after the first success with all our marketing to it. This change was really a no-timer and we were very satisfied with this change and the change in the underlying strategies. The app shortened our processes and made us enhance every step of them. The overall result was a closer communication at the more motivating steps of the marketing processes and a great plus in employee satisfaction. We had several impressive feedback loops and are convinced we will still make several in the future. The notifications, annotations, commentaries, assets, and drafts gave us an important new perspective on which we will develop our company further. Setting targets and arranging better-pre informed meetings and events in the marketing team and with external companies and customers enhanced our experiences.

Although the company I currently work for does not use the product I have recommended that we do switch to Mavenlink. We will be opening some new sites internationally this year and I can see that Mavenlink would be a great product for us to use

I think Mavenlink is the most robust and best project management tool out there for an organization like ours. However, some of our staff feel like it isn't as user-friendly as it could be. From a Director point of view or a Project Manager point of view, Mavenlink is exceptional. From the point of view of a task-doer, it could be more visually appealing. Also, the mobile version isn't great.

Mavenlink gives advance notice for system upgrades, and they're not during our business day. Mavenlink has always been available when we needed it.

Very good integration with Google apps. Some complexity is called however in the synchronization between Google Tasks and Maven links tasks. This can sometimes lead to duplicate records in Google Tasks. It has been dissolvable that becomes cumbersome if not properly curated.

Mavenlink support is fantastic! Any issues that arise are always handled quickly and efficiently. Granted, we haven't had many issues to report. Typically, my team tends to only reach out to support if they need assistance remembering how to do something or asking about an improvement. We had Mavenlink build an integration when we first started using the software, and the support team worked hard to listen and improve the integration.

We prepared questions in advance, and our trainer was an expert in what Mavenlink was and wasn't able to do. We were able to have multiple people trained at once.

The training was very well-organized. We were able to send questions in advance so the instructor knew what to cover, and the brought up related topics to maximize the usefulness of what they were teaching us.

Dedicate as much internal time to the implementation effort as possible, even if you're using a 3rd party or Mavenlink services. Your team knows your processes the best

We have since switched over to JIRA and let me tell you, it was probably the best decision we have made as a company. We chose Mavenlink based on promises from the sales team about future roadmap work that really never happened. We thought Mavenlink would easily integrate with our billing software but we couldn't have been more wrong. We ended up never utilizing Mavenlink invoices as they don't even allow you to fully customize your invoices that go out to clients!

MARMIND had a better efforts-to-outcome factor. We consider it for our needs as much more suitable. This is a matter of scale and resources. We loved MARMIND from the very first impressions. It stimulates our company marketing efforts very much. The overview is very satisfactory. The software suited very well the educational level of our employees and made them quick very successful users. The role concepts matched very much our own. We are convinced that will still are in progress in getting better at MARMIND in all modules and with all processes. We consider ourselves at a very good level in using the software integrated tool landscape of MARMIND. It is stimulating and very satisfactory to plan, create, and evaluate marketing efforts of all kinds. We stopped leaving out marketing or procrastinating it. The overview is overwhelming. Everyone has great feedback and can watch the progress in the company. This is former missing feedback. So MARMIND transformed our company a lot not only our marketing. Because of the high standards in the modules that are implemented the difference may not be so big. The process standards are compliant and it is more or less a matter of personal preferences between the different brands.
