The software is easy and almost fun to use, the data it provides is very useful and it all just makes sense. If we have questions or problems, the staff at BaseBuilders is super responsive.

I am more of the technical support person in our office, I installed Praesto AE, do the updates, and trouble shoot.

Makes end of the month timekeeping and billing much easier. Being able to link Praesto with Quickbooks is a huge plus.

Not only is this a robust solution to Digital Project Management, but it also runs on the Macintosh by using Filemaker as the database.

The software can be very slow at times, and it is hard for me to multitask with it open on my computer.

It's difficult to navigate to the information it stores and tracks. It's not the most intuitive and user-friendly.

QuickBooks is a great accounting program but isn't able to do direct/overhead at the project level.

It easily tracks my time, and I love the ability to add comments on each task.

They regularly reach out to us if they haven't heard from us to make sure we are happy with the program.

Praesto AE has greatly benefited our firm and all of our project managers. Each manager can quickly and easily check budgets so they can spend more time focused on clients and projects.

Praesto has been easy to learn and use. The customer support has by far been the best I have ever seen from any company in my career.

I like that we are able to see if we are profitable or not on a project. It allows us to see how much we are actually paying versus what we are charging.

We had trial copies of the Delteks of the world, but for a small company, we needed a product that was easy to implement, had great service help, and integrated completely with Quickbooks.

Customer Support has been excellent. We are in Australia, and we either get an immediate email or phone call to our requests, or it is there the next morning.

As we use it a lot during the day, it slows down more until it freezes.

We subscribed on a monthly basis to be sure we wanted to continue to use it. After 3 months, we purchased the annual subscription to save money.

After 5 months, I haven't found anything I don't like about BaseBuilders or Praesto.

A huge selling point to this program was that we got all of the features WITH unlimited technical support for one very affordable price.

We're just starting to use the more in-depth features. It's a great addition to our company.

It solved a lot of our project organization woes, and assembled all of the data, both project and billing, in a single, easy to use format.

The Preasto team has been very diligent in helping move all our data to the new system and extremely helpful in showing us the myriad of new accounting and management tools at our disposal.

Praesto did all that for us. It's priced right for the small business and gives us the reporting that we need to be profitable.

Good software to track time, mileage, and project billing.

XTuple is putting lots of effort on eCommerce additions, but less on the fundamentals of the package. Silly issues make for large problems.

It is an additional cost and the options are expensive, confusing and often rely on 'partners' who don't always know much about the system.

XTuple has most of the nice features of an expensive ERP at a very affordable price. All our departments work in tune and have full vision of what is going on on the day to day activities.

Tech support is great, and bug fixes often arrive in a couple of days after reporting.

The user interface can be a bit complex on some screens. With the amount of data presented that is a common complaint.

It really help to reduce the TCO when it came to database licensing. It has a great scripting tool to customize.

Th lack of intuitive functionality and the old style interface forced us to go to QuickBooks.

Simpler to use than other ERP solutions. Integrated well with other critical software that our business depends on.

XTuple does have a knowledgeable and helpful community and plenty of plugings and add-ons to ensure that it provides the solution that you need.

Can get different numbers by looking at different screens in the app - worrying. Poorly designed database.

The icons helps to find the features quickly. Customizable,it is a very important thing for us.

I like that this software is pretty user-friendly. Not as user-friendly as some I've tried but still pretty good.

It has been a blessing in that it runs on multiple platforms and can be built from source code for the platforms that aren't supported in binary format from xTuple.

It has been a problem from the beginning. We have used it for 7 years mainly due to the cost of replacement.

If you wish to increase your footprint, additional licensing is available.

I have used xTuple for 4 years and absolutely love the functionality of it as well as the ease of use. The report writing capabilities are great and allow you to create reports from scratch.

Our experience with the applications listed under what we like best has been very good.

The e-commerce integration is cutting-edge for this level of software. XTuple is genuinely interested in customer feedback to improve the product.

We have had a great deal of success adapting the Xtuple software to our business, which has many peculiarities you would not normally expect a non-custom system to handle.

Tech Support and Customer Service are excellent. I have worked with this software for more that 10 years, and by the way, the free version is really free, it is not just a trial one.

The best feature in my opinion is the team behind the software. They go out of their way to work with their users to give you the best experience possible.

The aspect of this software I like most is the ability to customize it to suit our business needs.

Good product,quick updates and the support team listen to us for help or advice.

The support forums are a great resource for setting up the software, and in the instances that I've communicated with the developers they have been kind and resourceful.

There is no rev control and no ecn functionality. Other software that I have used in other companies has those things automatically built in.

I like the open source platform and the ability to extend and customize as needed. The ability to customze allows us to integrate with other systems as requested by our customers.
