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.

Used this in a big corporation nationally and is a great means to communicate with multiple departments and ensure everyone has the same information.

Being able to communicate with many organizations in my company is great and useful. It is easy to use and organized.

It combines professional work with a fun side, where I can share ideas with my colleagues, as well as, any other things from my daily life that I may want to share with them.

We liked that this software gives the feeling of community and allowed us to broadcast side comments during a live stream.

Yammer is good for housing commonly asked questions & solving them in a group setting. Learning from each other is helpful.

The way it displays/sorts the feed is just confusing and unintuitive. Makes it hard to find specific posts.

It is more general or light-hearted news that is shared here, such as community service activities, industry trends, inspirational words from upper management. It makes us feel connected.

Communication method is better than sending emails. User friendly interfaces.

A simple UI and easy daily usage, great to share news to teammates, the content segmented by channel and topic subscription.

The ease of use and user friendliness makes it easy to use inside the organization and lets you spread the word quickly like any other social messaging sites but perfect limit ability.

The ability to stay connected to large company updates is fantastic. Its also a great tool for projects.

Interesting features and awesome idea. The user interface is not just an exactly nice one.

This application is easy to use and integrate into Microsoft products. I like how different groups can customize their topics and yammer page.

It's good to be on Yammer and check what is happening with the business and an excellent platform to network with your peers.

What i like the most about Yammer is its User interface, it is easy to navigate and we did not need any training to operate it. The best feature is that it can be integrated with Office 365 as well.

The interface is user friendly and very easy to use. It has all the best features like photo tagging.
