"BigTime for Project Management"
What do you like best about BigTime?

I like that if I need assistance, customer service is fairly quick

I don't like that BigTime is designed to have Quickbooks feed to BigTime. We use it the opposite and it doesn't work to it's full potential.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time-keeping is easier for each employee. BigTime and Quickbooks communicate fairly well.

"Great Software for tracking!"
What do you like best about BigTime?

Many employees can input their time at once and I can quickly see where we are at on any project at anytime.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

Synchronization with QuickBooks Online can take a little while. This could be due to many employees entering time for many projects though.

BigTime has been great for my clients to track their time with different projects. It is much more user friendly than other softwares we have seen

It is pleasant to review, seems somewhat intuitive

Keeping track of time.

"Big Time review of product"
What do you like best about BigTime?

Accurately and somewhat easily records our staff time at an affordable price.

Can't add new projects within timesheet entry field Time does not get recorded for invoicing until submitted by staff. Extra step seems cumbersome and can lead to hours missed.

Accurate time recording.

"It does the job, but the interface is lacking "
What do you like best about BigTime?

It is straightforward in terms of looking like a calendar of your week. The mobile app is helpful for when you forget to app your hours while at the office.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

I wish there was a way to organize the rows. Perhaps by frequency of use, alphabetical or just as the user wishes.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to track how much time we are spending on projects and then how to appropriately bill for things in the future. At this point in time, the project is too young to have produced any tangible results. But, we were able to see the average time taken to write a byline and relay this info to new hires.

"Bigtime for small office use"
What do you like best about BigTime?

The product comes at a low cost and has a very simple UI for employees to enter time.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The UI is almost too simple, exporting information to organize or make reports can be tough. Data is also not automatically saved, if you do not save your progress as you enter information you will have to re-enter it. The expense reporting is also very limited, so we use another form for this instead of going through bigtime.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

This creates our time tracking for chargeability and client billing. We also use it for forecasting by reviewing previous project's data that is exported from bigtime to excel.

"Review of BT"
What do you like best about BigTime?

The reporting features are comprehensive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The look and feel of the newer version is less compact than the older version (I could see more information on a page with the older version, which is a big draw for me). I feel like the newer version has a lot of wasted space.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigTime helps me to manage our company's travel expenses efficiently.

"Decent Timesheet Tool with QB Integration"
What do you like best about BigTime?

It connects with Quickbooks Desktop pretty easily and only requires me to do minor administration (every few months I need to sign back in on the server). It has a nice simple interface for employees to enter time.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

The timer feature is a good idea, but poorly executed - If I work on a task for 5 days then I end up with 5 rows instead of it consolidating into one that spans the week.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basic time tracking with some useful reporting.
