Pros

“Kantata feels powerful and enterprise-ready, especially for agencies or services teams that need visibility into resourcing and financials. When it’s well configured, it gives leadership-level clarity, but it does require discipline and admin effort to keep setups consistent and reporting trustworthy.”
RV

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

“I am writing this message, while the heating unit located in my office is clicking, clicking, clicking I’m glad your Kanban boards moved when I clicked on them, I was afraid they would be extremely slow and therefore annoying.”
PB

Peter B.

Managing Director

“I also like that it makes capacity planning more concrete, especially when multiple projects are competing for the same people.”
RV

Rakhi V.

QA Lead

Pros

“Has made workflow much more organized; I always know which hours go to which project and I can quickly check my past entries without searching manually.”
JH

Jennifer H.

Realtor Associate

“I particularly appreciate the tool's ease and speed of use for projects, as well as its versatile review options, which allow for direct and targeted responses.”
TE

Timothy E.

Client Advisor

“Overall, BigTime is a reliable and useful platform that helps organize projects, track time, and improve daily workflow.”
OH

Oscar H.

Office Manager

Cons

“There are a lot of tasks that require multiple steps and with that needing double checked once complete, which can sometimes feel like you don't have time to manage other responsibilities because there are so many steps with project creation.”

Lacie S.

Senior Account Coordinator

“Some cons for using Kantata are it can be expensive for smaller businesses and it is challenging to use when you are a new user.”
BM

Brazola M.

Assistant

“I think the email notifications are way too many unless you turn them off completely.”
PB

Peter B.

Managing Director

Cons

“We occasionally run into minor bugs and issues during invoicing updates or complex data syncing. While the security features are reliable, the interface can take a little bit of time to get fully configured.”

Pradip K.

Senior Developer

“What I like least is that some parts of the interface feel a bit outdated and not fully optimized for quick navigation.”
