Migrate your Advantage data
Project management platform for teams managing projects, tasks, custom fields, and workflows, with a focus on structured data and operational stability.
In its favor
Why people choose Advantage
The signal that keeps Advantage on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Single integrated agency platform — Advantage (now part of Simpli.fi) combines media planning/buying, finance and accounting, and project management in one database, eliminating duplicate entry across separate systems that smaller agencies typically stitch together.
Built specifically for advertising agencies and media buyers — over 2,000 agencies use the platform with industry-specific features like media accounting, broadcast/digital buying, and integrations with Nielsen, Comscore, and Eastlan ratings data.
Live human support with no ticket queue — the vendor advertises unlimited access to a live US support line (8:00am–7:30pm ET) staffed by industry veterans, a differentiator vs. self-serve PM tools.
Modular licensing — Finance & Accounting, Project Management, and Media modules can be purchased independently, allowing agencies to add capability as they grow rather than forcing a full-suite commitment up front.
QuickBooks integration plus API access for custom integrations, letting larger agencies extend the platform into their broader tech stack.
UI is widely criticized as not user-friendly and navigation is described as confusing and clunky by reviewers, prompting agencies that value modern UX to switch to Workamajig, Function Point, or similar.
Project management is the weakest module — multiple comparison sites note that agencies leave specifically because they aren't fond of the PM tools, and entering tasks is painful without pre-built templates.
Sparse public learning resources — third-party reviewers explicitly note 'there are no resources for Advantage online,' making self-service onboarding hard and increasing reliance on vendor support.
Pricing is sales-led and complex — historical data points to around $498/month starting, but real cost varies by module selection and is opaque, making procurement comparisons difficult.
Too heavy for small shops — comparison reviews say agencies under 5 staff find the platform more than they need, pushing them to lighter agency tools like Function Point or Productive.

What gets migrated
Advantage object support
Object-by-object support for Advantage migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Custom Objects
Fully supportedConga Advantage supports custom objects via Schema Manager. Fields, pick lists, and relationships are defined in the Admin Console. API names use alphanumeric characters and underscores up to 52 characters. We map these to destination equivalents preserving field types and required flags.
Projects
Mapping requiredStandard PM object present in most Advantage editions. We preserve project metadata and settings but map to destination project equivalents.
Tasks
Mapping requiredTasks carry assignees, status, due dates, and subtasks. We preserve hierarchy and assignment during migration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields extend standard objects. We map field names and values and flag type mismatches at the field level.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments linked to records are exported and re-linked in the destination, maintaining association to parent objects.
Users and Assignments
Mapping requiredUser records and task/project assignments require owner mapping between source and destination user IDs.
Workflows
Mapping requiredAutomation rules and workflows are exported where supported and re-created at the destination when the target platform supports equivalent automation.
Comments
Mapping requiredComments on tasks and projects are preserved as part of the record migration with author and timestamp metadata.
