Accounts Receivable/Accounting Manager BigTime Review (Not project management)
Reviewed on 10/03/2021
The training was really amazing. And the capabilities made it well worth the switch from Productive.
The training was really amazing. And the capabilities made it well worth the switch from Productive.
Pros
The customization and the ability to track just about anything you want for project management, profitability and invoicing. And the integration with Quickbooks.
Cons
I wish more fields were customizable. The handful that they allow you to rename are great, but more would be better! I wish there was a 45 day training session to ask questions that arise after using for a bit.
Reasons for Choosing BigTime
Productive was very limited, and the budgeting side was terribly difficult to navigate especially with our high volume of monthly retainersSwitched From
ProductiveReasons for Switching to BigTime
I was not part of the research that was done. I was given the final choice to test and work with the sale rep to ensure that it performed the way we needed it to. If I was not happy we would have gone back to the drawing board. But, I know one of our main objectives is to track project profitability and this is so far doing what we needed it to do.- Industry: Architecture & Planning

Onboarding
Reviewed on 12/11/2020
Pros
The onboarding process and support has been seamless so far and we expect to be fully converted in 60 days total.
Cons
Always room for improvement, but we haven't had any with BigTime yet. We need to sort out some details in our Quickbooks Desktop projects to align when integrating.

Now that we have made the switch to BigTime, we have begun to realize how much time was wasted using spreadsheets, outdated time tracking software, a different project management tool for each project. We are saving time and endless headaches.
Pros
Prior to BigTime, my organization used a hodgepodge of systems to track time, track expenses, and invoice. Having all three of those in one spot has saved us 40+ man-hours a month. The customer service is also fantastic. Our implementation specialist, Neil is very easy to work with and really knows his stuff.
Cons
Coming from a mess of different tools and consolidating into one simple, easy to use tool, it is really hard for me to say what can be improved at this point.

Overall this is for big company's with employees over 100 plus to time manage them but need a better system for invoicing.
Pros
I like that you are able to create your own engagements per client.
Cons
I least like the invoice part as it does not function how it is suppose too. There are to many steps for it to be integrated into QuickBooks.

Thanks so much for this review- we really appreciate hearing from all our customers here at BigTime!
