Managing our projects and employees' work is handled through Mavenlink. The resource planner is great for giving the company an "at-a-glance" view of who is working on what, who has bandwidth, and who is slammed. Being able to create projects, assign tasks, and collaborate across the organization works really well for us. The main thing that is lacking is file management. When files are added to a project, they go into a repository that does not allow for any structure or hierarchy.

Mavenlink is well suited in organizations that are remote or have remote workers. It is great to have everyone on the same page and that everyone has access to project status and updates. We have also used Mavenlink as our timecard tracker though this is not necessarily needed by every organization. It would not be the greatest platform to use when there are less than 5 people in an organization.

Users of teams and professional plans have access to a knowledge base to get answers to their questions and problems. We can also access a video training library and webinar recordings. In addition, we can send a support ticket or participate in a live chat with a technician.

Mavenlink is well suited for a company looking to create schedules for projects and help teams stay on track. It becomes less helpful for when the quantity of projects increases. If you need to tool to understand how much work is on your team's plate it is not as useful unless you have great reporting skills.

I would recommend Mavenlink to any creative/production team that has projects with a defined set of processes time after time. The automation that the software provides is outstanding. The more attention and thought that you put into Mavenlink at the beginning of a project, the smoother your team and the project will go throughout the process.

Mavenlink requires some getting used to, which can scare people getting on-board. It requires a strong process for implementation internally, and everyone must use it. When project info is put in maven + Google Drive, it is a really strong combo.
Mavenlink is a little less well-suited for the pre-sales stage in a project, and a CRM could make it a killer app.

Mavenlink is a great option if you have complex reporting needs or an immature resource planning tool.

In our case, the team that researched tools and managed the Mavenlink rollout also became the resident Mavenlink power-users. Having some "go-to's" on staff was important for my company's acceptance of the organizational change - this isn't Mavenlink-specific, but an important consideration nonetheless.

Mavenlink's interaction from the beginning of our relationship all the way through implementation has been extremely positive. Our Client Success Manager, Chase Redfield, really led our implementation team through every step of our process in a professional and timely manner. He was supportive and consultative which proved us to be successful.

I love Mavenlink and personally did a lot of research on similar tools to find the one that fit our organization's needs. This tool is really comprehensive and can be scaled up and down depending on your organization's needs. I can easily see this working for both a small or large organization and we have even considered recommending this to clients! Also, they have a really great R&D team and roll out new features and updates regularly.

Project management has been great for us as a good use case. We are using it for time management where can determine if a resource is available for a project and to document the total number of hours a consultant works. We are experimenting using Mavenlink for other uses like expense management.

They started out good for the price. Now their customer service is subpar, their product has not evolved well, and they are charging more. The dashboard is non-responsive and non-customizable. They lock you into a contract and quote user agreement when you question their changes and usability. Would never recommend to anyone.

I would use this as a project manager for any field where you would like to stay on task, track a budget, and keep track of billed time. You have the ability to run different analytical reports, send out invoices, etc. The in-app communication leaves a little to be desired, but overall it's a great product!

I believe it is well suited for projects that have stakeholders who are not face-to-face on a consistent basis. I found it easy to connect with people from across the country at odd times of the day through Mavenlink. I would gladly recommend this product again.

Looking back, and seeing that there are now more options for similar feature sets, I might have looked for something less expensive but Mavenlink works well for me now and I will likely use it for as long as I freelance.
