The questions Kantata cannot answer for agency owners
Kantata is built for enterprise complexity. What it lacks is the agency-specific depth and right-sized approach that digital agencies need.
"Which hosting plans and domain renewals are due in the next 90 days across all agency clients?"
Kantata focuses on project and resource financials for enterprise teams. Infrastructure-level renewal tracking is outside its model.
"Which maintenance contracts are at scope ceiling this month?"
Kantata manages project budgets and resource allocations. Maintenance contract scope management for smaller recurring work is not a core feature.
"What is the combined view of pipeline + committed recurring revenue for next quarter?"
Kantata has financial forecasting, but the specific agency model of projects + retainers + hosting + domains + pipeline in one matrix is Insighty's focus.
"Is this tool right for our 10-person agency?"
Kantata is designed for larger professional services firms. Insighty is purpose-built for digital agencies of any size.
