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.

Great customer service and response time. Easy navigation and setup.

That it is really user friendly; never heard of Ravetree until I began working at The Bookkeeper. Wonderful tool to track and prioritize tasks.

All employees can access up to date content in one simple place. Good visual representation of information.

The interface is very rich and intuitive, offers a clear and precise overview of the different results obtained. A free trial version is also available to enhance the user experience.

Ravetree feels like the perfect blend of being universal enough for the masses and customized for the individual peculiarities of a mid-market full-service advertising agency of 35 people (i.e. us).

At the time of this review, there was no public API, which for us is a deal-breaker.

Responsiveness of support team & customization. I love logging time to my timesheet directly from the kanban board.

In addition, Customer rep has consistently delivered the human element of a technology/subscription delivery and made it feel like we were a priority at each at every turn.

What Ravetree has going for it is management of the project along with progress against budget.

The lack of stability and the appalling support.

Ease of use and ability to ramp other team members easily.

User friendliness and ability to pinpoint projects easily and time associated with each. I also like being able to transition ownership based on the stage of the project.

It also has a pretty intuitive user experience. The kanban board is a useful feature and I like being able to see how many billable and non-billable hours I'm logging each day.

My overall experience with Ravetree is that What I could say is that the software is highly recommended, it has so many useful features for businesses.

Sometimes, getting alerts can be difficult. If you miss an email, you may miss an update or a tag in Ravetree.

It's a mystery why that aspect of PM is so neglected by many other apps.

The comment section of RT is where I spend most of my time. I love the ability to comment and tag people directly in a conversation.

I have trouble finding tasks that I have marked complete. If i don't know the specific name it's hard to find them.

The ability to upload file versions within the same upload and select which version you'd like to view. This keeps project files/uploads organized and helps us to easier find and look at versions.
