CMap Reviews & Product Details

I like that CMap is always developing and listening to feedback. The live margin information on projects is helpful to track where we're at. I find the new notification feature useful as it clarifies which projects are losing money without having to search. With CMap, it's easier to see the profile of the projects and give consultants the information they need when managing their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting and dashboard side of things could be improved. I'd love to be able to have more visual reports and charts, for it to be clearer which report does what and some templates to use for consultancies. I'd also love to be able to create a dashboard that then gets shared to leadership and sector leads. We have lots of requests for data and reports but no capacity to really dig into it all.

It has added significant value across pipeline visibility, resource management, margin management, and time sheeting, and it has helped us establish a much stronger single source of truth across the organisation. A feature I particularly like is the ability to pre-load mandatory company holidays, which has been very helpful for realistic capacity and resource planning.

One adjustment we have had to make is in how we scope projects, to ensure they align more closely with CMap’s fee estimation approach. That took some change management internally, but it ultimately led to more consistency in planning and forecasting. In the earlier stages, we did experience challenges integrating CMap with other systems, and as a result we didn’t pursue those integrations further at the time. I can’t comment on whether this has improved in the past four to five years, but it would be good to understand how integration capabilities have evolved since then.

I use CMap to manage contingent workers and appreciate its ease of use and the excellent suite of readily-built reports. The resourcing schedule with the auto-schedule feature is great, as it helps us save time by auto-scheduling a worker across the project timeline. CMap provides a powerful suite of tools to align finance, people, and project managers. The initial setup was fairly easy, thanks to the onboarding team handling all the data integrations.

The custom report builder is very hard to use - if it could be made simpler it would be awesome. I actually think adding an AI report-building feature would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find CMap fairly intuitive and simple to use, which makes the setup pretty easy for us. I like the invoicing features and the revenue feature. All the project management aspects of the application itself are really useful. These features allow us to track our business effectively, monitoring both the costs and earnings. The invoice schedule setup helps us quickly set and adjust schedules as needed, while the revenue window ensures we're recognizing and reconciling the correct amount of revenue every month. The project management aspect allows us to assign hours to resources and set estimates, which completes the way we track our projects. The tool itself does a good job in setting up the dashboards.

I think there needs to be a little more consistency with how pages are designed, especially with link backs. It feels like some pages or areas are built without consistency to how other modules may be built. Also, the reporting aspect has a lot of limitations and isn't fully intuitive. It's not clear which report I have to build off of to get specific information. The database schema doesn't link all tables in a way that allows pulling one report to get multiple levels of data back from invoicing, which is crucial, especially when doing time and materials.

I like the simplicity of use in CMap. The user interface is quite good, allowing me to navigate around the system efficiently. It makes long and unwieldy processes manageable and engages users well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting is an area where it could be improved. It doesn't allow particularly for cross-functional reporting. For example, you cannot pull resourcing data into a report which has got revenue information on. They just don't talk to each other. I've also noted with the API that when you're using it with Power BI, you have to compute some of the resourcing and margin outcomes, it doesn't do it for you. So I think that is a bit of a weakness.

CMap gives clear financial visibility, linking projects, budgets and revenue in one place. Its resource planning and forecasting tools help teams manage capacity, spot risks early and make commercially informed decisions with greater confidence and transparency.

The expenses app is clunky and not very user-friendly. I also wonder if it would be good to have an app instead of logging in via a browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system is easy to use and intuitive. The range of features mean you can customise it your organisational needs. I particularly appreciate the CRM features, including the ability to distinguish between leads and live opportunities. And also the ability to check my leave requests against the wider team, to prevent clashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My main gripe would be that when you edit an opportunity you aren't prompted to hit save, so if you come out without doing so, your updates are lost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and works well. I think the layout is clear, and it’s reasonably straightforward to understand where to find things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CMap has a few quirks when it comes to entering time. It took me a while to understand how overtime works, and it doesn’t prefill anything unless I copy it over from the previous week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to Manage more projects at once as everything is in one place, and I have a structure to my day, the activities list brings every project together.

An unexpected benefit is the ability to link e-mails to projects as activities and look through them if something repeats itself regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes things just "don't work" for instance the tagging of e-mails is currently not working, there does not seem to be any urgency when things are not working as they should. The impact of this is that structured processes cannot be followed, which creates an environment where things could be missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CMap is very user-friendly and intuitive to use. It’s been a great addition to our company and has integrated easily into our daily work. We used to have separate finance and CRM platforms, but it’s much easier to have everything in one place now. Customer support has been exceptional whenever we’ve needed it—which isn’t often, because the setup and training we received were so thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to choose something, it would be the marketing system. It’s very basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
