About

Worksection is an all-in-one project management platform that replaces five separate tools — a task manager, planner, time tracker, work chat, and file storage — with one system on a single per-user price. Built for teams of 5 to 50+ — agencies, IT, consulting, manufacturing, and construction — especially teams that bill clients by the hour. Manage tasks and subtasks, plan with Gantt charts, Kanban boards and a calendar, track time with hourly rates for client billing, discuss work inside each task, and keep files where they belong. Reports and dashboards turn project data into decisions. Unlike tools that sell time tracking and client billing as paid add-ons, both are built in. Free for teams up to 5 users. Worksection has been doing this since 2008 — GDPR and ISO 27001 certified, available in 11 languages.

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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • • Easy to use from day one • Complete transparency across all workflows • Built-in time tracking you can trust •Maximum focus with task-based communication
  • Well-organized workspace, smooth onboarding, accurate time tracking, clear project visibility, practical reporting
  • Worksection has made it much easier to organize projects and break work down into manageable stages.

  • User-friendly interface, quick onboarding for new team members, easy project and task management, deadline tracking, time tracking, clear reporting, transparent team workload visibility, effective planning, good balance between functionality and simplicity.
  • Order without clutter, control without complexity, process transparency, quick onboarding, insightful analytics, efficient work organization, balanced functionality, effective team collaboration, full project visibility.

Cons

  • So far, my experience has been entirely positive, and I haven't noticed any issues worth mentioning.
  • The desktop version covers everything we need, but the mobile app still feels a bit limited. More integrations with development tools would also be a welcome improvement.
  • One small thing I'd like to see improved is more flexibility in the task filters. That said, it hardly affects my day-to-day work and doesn't take away from the overall experience.
  • Could offer more flexibility for complex workflows, limited advanced customization options.
  • Limited scalability for large organizations, fewer advanced features than Jira, limited workflow customization, fewer integrations, may be restrictive for complex projects, advanced reporting takes time to master.
