Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Well Big Time definately stands out as a leading Professional Services Automation (PSA) software, offering critical advantages for businesses: >Effortless Time and Expense Management >Resource Optimization >Seamless Accounting Integration In addition to these advantages, BigTime's user-friendly design and intuitive timers set it apart from competitors. For businesses valuing comprehensive reporting, BigTime offers a rich source of data to identify growth opportunities and drive success.
  • BigTime offers a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for time tracking and project management.
  • One thing I like about BigTime is the ease of utilization. I was able to navigate the entire interface on my first day. After a few weeks - I could tutor the rest of my colleagues and other workmates at our organization.
  • BigTime has proven to be an invaluable asset to our organization. The software's time and billing features are top-notch, delivering a streamlined and intuitive user experience. The ability to effortlessly track project progress and manage our team's hours has resulted in a significant increase in our overall productivity. The expense tracking feature is also a standout, as it offers a robust platform for submitting and approving expenses.
  • - BigTime excels in providing extensive time tracking capabilities, allowing users to accurately record and monitor their time spent on tasks. - Customizable reporting and analytics - Integration and Compatibility. BigTime integrates well with various popular business tools and platforms. - Scalability and flexibility. It can adapt to changing business requirements.

Cons

  • Well Overall BigTime a healthy platform but sometimes when I Try to make some changes to our invoice format is sometimes tricky, but the support we receive from the staff has always been great and made things work the way we would like them to. And also I frequently faced trouble adding new jobs into Big Time from Quickbooks and it does require manual adjustments every time.
  • The pricing structure can be a bit steep for small businesses or freelancers.
  • The only issue I've had as a BigTime user and my organization's Chief Financial Officer is the pricing that they offer. For most organizations, it can be pricey - and they do not offer a free trial.
  • There's a bit of a learning curve when first getting started with BigTime, but the company offers plenty of resources to get you up to speed. The reporting capabilities could be a bit more customizable, but this is a minor concern when compared to the wealth of benefits the software provides.
  • Some users may find the process of configuring these customizations to be complex or time-consuming. Simplifying the customization process and providing more intuitive tools for users to personalize their experience would enhance the software's flexibility.
