Nothing is intuitive, not flexible or user-friendly. You learn through trial & error the correct way to set things up to get the results you need.

I'm not the most tech-oriented so it is relatively easy to use and intuitive. This software is very robust and we don't use it to its full capacity but would like to use more of its capability.

Using the software has been difficult simply because it's a huge program that tries to do everything and as a result, it feels awkward and hobbled together.

It has a lot of features and integrates job data into the general ledger. Support staff are always available.

Our experience has been great. This is a great system to help organize and build your operation into the future.

It is solid and performs as it should. Advantage make continuous helpful updates so it is relevant.

Working with the Advantage team has been an amazing experience.

Advantage has a running list of improvements and asked for client input to ensure their products are user friendly. Their customer service is above the rest.

Nice dashboards and reporting offerings to get our data and metrics out quickly.

With the switch to Advantage, we were able to integrate our media campaigns into the Advantage software, cutting down on the manual work needed in the billing process.

It can be quite overwhelming and confusing. There are aspects of usability that I believe require more steps than necessary.

Advantage is relatively easy to use and makes our accounting easy.

They have a tremendous support team that really takes the time to understand your business and how you can most effectively benefit from the myriad of features both on setup and implementation.

It came over seamlessly as a commission only order for billing. The buyer cancelled the previous order and I changed the radio orders back to gross.

Advantage has the best customer service people and availability that I've experienced in numerous software systems.

We changed to this for project management and time tracking. It is one of the most frustrating interfaces I've ever seen.

With a distributed workforce and five separate companies Advantage gives us great insight into financials and project management while allow.

We are so thrilled with the level of customer support offered to us at every turn, even when the issues are clearly user errors.

I find the software clunky, difficult to use. It costs extra for training to maximize functionality.

Advantage believes in upgrading and improving the software.

This software takes a while to get the hang of. There are so many ways to access the same features, which can make things confusing.

Very positive, I highly recommend this software, the company listens to its clients and constantly strives to make their product better and more efficient.

Things just seemed overly complicated and the software wasn't optimized for Mac users so it was sometimes difficult to use.

It can be confusing to some extent - one of our contractors, in this instance, had 2 profiles and was entering hours and expenses under the company name first instead of under his name.

The system is easy to configure, easy to use and the support has been amazing. We're very happy with the system.

This is a great mobile timesheet app. It tracks every hour spent on a project and helps to track everything that each person is doing.

Overall the experience with BigTime has been great. It will help us better manage our business.

The fact that the staff genuinely cares and believes in the product is what I like best.

I like the ease of use the most as well as the availability of the support team.

In our month of using BigTime, our experience has been wonderful. Our Customer Success Manager is AMAZING.

Great customer service and support. Very easy to implement and roll out.

Overall I have had a pretty positive experience with Bigtime and am optimistic that it will work out great for our company.

So far so good, we are already seeing an improvement in budget tracking.

We just started using the software and are impressed with the support staff at Big Time. They are helping us to set up the program and customize it for our needs.

Also, we have been very impressed with the speed of the system and the design of the user interface.

This makes it difficult to integrate BT invoicing directly into QB data. A problem made even more difficult given that all of our projects to date have been invoiced from QB.

Big huge thank you to the support staff for helping me yesterday with my sync agent for QuickBooks. He was very professional and patient.

Great features that meet our companies needs. Integration with Quickbooks works perfectly.

The service has been great. So far we're very pleased with the process.

I enjoy the ease of the software and the accessibility for our employees.

I love the ease at which you can make adjustments to submitted timesheets or expense reports. The software is very intuitive.

But Sylvia, who guided us through the Onboarding process, was able to successfully show us all the capabilities that BigTime has to offer so far.

It is good to see that bigtime integrates so directly with the quickbooks platform, since this way it works better with invoices and workflow management tools.

Ability to easily add staff, create projects and budgets. Report generation and ability to export reports to excel for pivot table analysis.

I like how clean it is - our bugdets and hours are all tracked neatly now. Before it was all done manually, with the help of a spreadsheet.

I have tried many solutions in the past and I found BT was the best fit for our organization.

Overall the fact that everything's integrated into one platform makes Bigtime a great timesaver for any organization.

We are in the process of implementing the software, but the training and support we have had so far has been fantastic. The software seems to be intuitive and is very user-friendly.

I like the ease of the integration between BigTime and Quickbooks.

Its inability to perform some task that I am used to which is to be expected in a switch form one system to the next.

My overall experience with BigTime has been great, the software is easy to use and navigate, and the customer support has been fast and helpful in answering any questions I have had.

There are a couple of features that are missing pertaining specifically to my company.

Its a software that is easy to navigate and the cost sweeps me off my feet.I recommend it for anyone.

We did it backwards which cost us about three weeks of loss time.
