How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

An excellent tool, but some areas need improvement

What differentiates Kantata from other similar products?
The number of things that Kantata is capable of. Rather than implementing different products for time management, resource management, creating estimates and so on, we can do all of this with a single piece of software.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The time tracking features are by far the most intuitive and well-implemented I've come across in my career. Being able to track time to multiple projects, set limits and expectations for how much time a task should take, and manage expectations for total billable time in a week is invaluable to us.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The custom settings can be difficult to learn how to use, and we often find that new hires struggle to use Kantata to its full functionality. The user interface can also feel very busy and get confusing if you're not familiar with the product.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If your company is managing a high volume of projects and resources, I would highly recommend Kantata. However, I would consider the level of turnover your organization experiences and ensure that you put adequate training resources in place to be able to take full advantage of this software.
Pros
- Includes Product Enhancements
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity

What do you dislike most about this product?
The user experience is rough. If your entire team is not trained on it, dont waste your time or money. This goes for new hires, too.Certain team/permissions assignments made it inflexible at giving certain people differing roles or allowing them to moonlight on projects that they did not own. In a work environment where people may wear different hats but dont necessarily need top level access to every task,
