The software has a good project planning tool but is not very useful for accounting. Periods are not easy to close and invoices cannot be backdated. Also, taxes are not detailed.

The Integration with Salesforce is seamless, the access to the knowledge base article is easy from the application.

Tasks and resources management

Insights, Integrations with a wide variety of systems, and Pulse are the three features that make Kantata stand out. Insights reporting has the power to look at data in numrous ways to remain as high level or dive as deep as you'd like, affording those looking to find trends multiple ways to better understand their operations. Integrations such as Hubspot, Intacct, and others make automating data between systems very easy with simple mappings and very little error after proper testing. Pulse is the feature I'm most excited about now, which will afford the ability to establish robust project stories that encompass objective data with individual sentiment, creating even more powerful ways to explain trends and curate projects from the pipeline to completion phases.

The customization of reports might be tricky.

The product was oversold to our company, it is not easily integrated, as it is advertised to us and reporting is not user-friendly.

I do not have any dislikes about Kantata at this time. Our business needs are sufficiently met and we are not waiting on functionality to become better, often times we become better when feature releases are available because it means someone else had the same thoughts we did and were impacted sooner, allowing for such enhancements.

Transforming Business Analytics with Kantata's Functionalities

Apr 16, 2025

Implementing Kantata has been transformational in the way we deliver our projects and analyze our performance. The ease of use in the product has made training team members and onboarding our entire organization very straight forward. Kantata's functionality does not box users into operating their business in any particular/prescribed way, rather it's flexible in breaking things down to a simple, repeatable format that allows for organic usage. The power that Insights reporting offers, however, has made the difference in our success, giving a wide array of ways to parse data for more informed decision making.
