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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Linking CRM and Zoho Invoice have been really nice. I am able to invoice from anywhere, pull reports from anywhere, etc. I can search across clients, customers, employees.
  • Zoho Invoice offers the best and easiest way to generate invoices right from your mobile. An email invoice is also possible to send directly to the client. Local download can also be done in PDF file.
  • I really like Zoho invoice. I've tried a half dozen solutions before starting with Zoho for one key feature: Zoho invoice is one of the only invoicing option (that I've found) that allows you to import a list of invoices as a CSV file. This means that I can export my invoice data from my spread sheet, upload and send invoices in one process. The current version integrates with their Zoho's CRM for your customers and there are some other CRM integrations available. You can create custom sort lists for invoices and they have a wide arrange of reports you can create for set periods. The integration of Square (which we actively use) and Stripe is helpful. There are other integrations like Forte for ACH payments (which we've used). Customer service has been very good. When we've had an issue we've been able to reach someone right away for assistance. The monthly cost is very affordable (around $9 + tax /month currently).
  • Is a great option for invoicing for a business. It's very cost effective and isn't hard to set up and use.

Cons

  • Currently, everything is working very well and I have no complaints about Zoho Invoice.
  • It offers a great platform to generate and send invoices.
  • The import invoices function requires fields to be in the correct format (Text for text, number for number and currency for currency) or the item is rejected. This can take a little trouble shooting initially. The HTML templates for emails are not appealing to me and they are difficult to change/customize. While you can edit the templates, you cannot create new templates. The settings/preferences are not intuitive (for me) They are in a whole different section/area which requires a bit of navigation and when you are done with the settings you are have to navigate back to where you were.
  • For me I prefer to have my brand more prominent on our software which this wasn't very doable.
