Kahua provides the ability to align with industry standards and support company specific processes with configuration and not customization. As a platform, integration and migration with other systems is easily supported. The configurable hierarchical structure provides the ability for Kahua to align with how each company is organized and how programs and projects are managed. The built in kbuilder tool allows companies to support extending the product in house. > > **Cons**: As Kahua provides an easier way to extend the product it is easy to try to implement too much. It is important to focus on what is important to the organization and project teams. > > Kahua provides the ability to implement based on industry standards, adapt those standards or extend the product via configuration.

The new AI features are a guge game changer in app development\!

I tested it out and created an app in less than 5 mins. ----- ### "Dont waste your time" — 2.0/5 > **Stephen** | *9 January 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing. Everything about this software is frustrating. > > **Cons**: Constant problems with loading the platform each day and loading information. Constantly having to stop what we are doing to write an email and attach screen shots. The person that's supposed to help doesn't understand what we try to tell him. There may be a language barrier. ----- ### "Kahua User" — 5.0/5 > **Amy** | *22 October 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very intuitive software while agile and flexible.
