Enterprise PSA for large services organizations.
Mavenlink (now Kantata, after merging with Replicon's Polaris in 2022) is enterprise PSA — designed for services organizations with hundreds or thousands of consultants, multi-business-unit consolidation, professional services automation across the full sales-to-delivery-to-invoicing lifecycle. Tempough is not in this market and isn't trying to be. If you're evaluating Kantata, you're probably running a 200+ person consultancy with revenue recognition, project finance, and a dedicated PSA admin role. If you're running a 5–50 person team and Kantata feels like overkill, it is.
