Keeping track of expenses and input in relations to invoicing. Being able to see when we are going over an original amount on a jobs original balance. We also like the tracking of what has been invoiced what can be closed out, earnings. Also being able to add to the job, not having to create multiple jobs for the same area or client.

Not being able to attach documents to the jobs created. We are currently looking at different integrations to use, that will help us in transferring over job information which will help in the error of job set up. We have documents as in proposals, drawings, purchase order receipts if those items were able to be saved under the job itself would help in errors for inputing the details of the job and purchase orders for the job itself.

BigTime is easy to deploy with employees working from home, the main office and branch offices since it is web-based. Anyone with access to a web browser can record their time at their convenience and we can get that into our Quickbooks records effortlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the file syncing takes some time or gets hung up, but not often enough to be much of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It strikes an excellent balance of being clean, simple, and intuitive - while being highly customizable, thorough and detailed. The implenetation team (Cyann) was incredible. The whole process was incredilby professional - we were very impressed. We kept thinking if we knew it would have been this easy to switch we would have done it long ago! We can now have a simple and organized time tracking system, robust business kpi tracking, AND now also using BigTime Wallet as well! Our clients have loved having an online portal that displays all invoices, and allows payment right there. It has been a huge improvement already for us - highly reccomend!

Nothing, yet! So far it has been a really smooth transition and something we're excited to test further as we go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BigTime has helpful features that help monitor and ensure staff productivity. As a business owner it gives us flexibility with quick and easy access from any browser. This means we can use the software anytime, anywhere! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the efforts are well-intentioned, when updates are rolled out, they sometimes feel rushed and untested. As a result, we have had challenges with updates not working properly in different browsers. Once we navigate that path however, we have found the updates to be helpful. The integration with Quick Books is clunky and forced. Some information is entered into Quick Books first and in other instances it must be entered in BigTime first. This creates significant confusing and is leading to dissatisfaction with BigTime. Receiving support is piecemeal and we triage by dealing with one issue at a time. There is not adequate support to troubleshoot and it is time consuming. It is costing us money to try to resolve issues, which should not be the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about Big Time is their Dedicated Team to help you through the process, no matter how hard or how long it takes to get the time keeping and invoicing exactly the way we want and need. I also really like the way the Big Time team works with each other to help their clients. We have been using Big Time for a couple of years now and won't even consider switching. As a small architectural firm, we struggled to find a time keeping and invoicing program to fit our needs. Their program is not too complicated or overly simplified. The new Big Time Wallet has made receiving payments much easier and faster. All this while maintaining competitive pricing and fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't dislike anything about Big Time. The only thing that needed improvement was the report center but they have been making those improvements so all is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can customize everything according to the company's needs. Also, customer service helps you through Zoom calls, which is much better than just the chat. And the follow-up to the requests.
The new AI feature is awesome and the bigtime academy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creating Reports is difficult because sometimes the information is not clear, or some columns have the same name, and bring different information. also, sometimes, the reports have calculations that don't match the information on the dashboards. Sometimes is not that easy to use. I would like to know better how bigtime does its calculations. I added a line in one invoice and then it adjusted amounts but the remaining budget per line got messed up and i didn't know how to fic it and the customer support team either.

We like how BigTime is better formatted for project management and integrates well with our QuickBooks platform. It has helped us automate processes that we used to do completely manually, spending countless hours. Now with BigTime, its done in minutes! Truly a huge time saver and will help all business scale up and grow without the dreaded bottlenecks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside we had was in transitioning all of our data into BigTime. Not that it was BigTime's fault but rather the downside to any large scale transition. Since BigTime is geared for better project insight and metric tracking there are many project level features that need to be properly mapped which was also just time consuming. However, once the initial setup was complete, the work has been a breeze to get through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1) BigTime is compatible with QuickBooks but not 100%. There is still a lot of work to be done in that area. When we first launched BigTime, this was a significant issue creating a difficult learning curve. I understand however that working with a massive company like Intuit to develop a software like this can be difficult and time consuming. It's a work in progress.
2) BigTime generally runs smoothly and is user friendly but it carries it's own quirks just like QBs.
3) Day to day customer service for troubleshooting is done via chat portal only. This carries with it pros and cons. One of the cons being that it can make troubleshooting difficult at times as some issues cannot be resolved in a chat portal.
4) BigTime generally runs on the slower side, at least from my perspective. The more data you are working with, the slower it runs. I often have to refresh my screen, sometimes multiple times to get it to load depending upon what I am doing regardless of where I am.
5) BigTime comes with a BIG price tag which of course can make it a risky investment. However, I believe that all things considered, BigTime is making a positive impact on our revenue and I believe this positive impact will continue to grow over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've been a BigTime customer for over eight years and have loved how well the platform fits our needs as a mid-sized consulting firm. As we've grown, BigTime has evolved with us, continuously adding new features that enhance and improve our workflow. Their team is highly responsive to customer feedback and consistently improves the products based on real user needs. It's been great to see their commitment to innovation and user experience over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As the software has expanded, there have been occasional performance slowdowns and bugs that need attention. However, I feel that BigTime has been proactive in responding to and resolving these issues as promptly as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I especially like that BigTime helps with resource management. Resources can be allocated and tracked against many different projects with no difficulty whatsoever. Balancing workloads is really made easier with having a great way to show who is busy and who is overloaded. I also like the tracking and communication within the platform can be managed, and everything tied to the project. It streamlines the workflow so that one would not need any external communication tools and it is just organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the major drawbacks for me with BigTime is that sometime certain features such as project management are not very flexible. We don`t have much flexibility in terms of that we can adjust some specific ways to work with those workflows. For example, sometimes I don’t quite fit into what appears to be a structure I’m being assigned to assign the tasks across teams. I also don¹t understand the lack of a notification system, I constantly receive too much alerts while IÅm focusing on some task hence I consider it annoying.
