BQE CORE is well suited for a firm trying to get a better understanding of their project performance as a whole as well as better manage time and project resources. It is not the greatest for client management through a project or through invoicing, but it is do-able within the system.

Cons
Agiline LLC
  • I have found its import of contacts quite complex.

  • Customizable Reporting
  • Linking Project to Payment all together
  • Assigning contacts to particular roles - such as Invoicing, Contracts, etc.
  • Accounting Functionality - they are basically a project management accounting software, so in my opinion, they could learn some things from other accounting software such as QuickBooks etc.

We have been using Core for a few years now, and honestly started to look at other software systems to see what was out there. What we chose was a nightmare for migration so we never left Core. Now we have added invoicing and payments from Core instead of double entry with QBO. Still only a few cycles in but looks like it will be up to speed soon and working smoothly.

Usability
Agiline LLC
Agiline CRM is [a] well-designed tool for marketing automation and for Contact management my overall experience is great with it. The customer support of Agiline is amazing. We had to get in contact
with them twice and found them highly responsive and professional people
having complete command of the product which eventually facilitated us
in solving our problem.

The foundation is awesome, like I have said before, however the house being built on it, the educational resources being provided to us (more of sales pitches that don't work), and flexible workflow opportunities, is making us look elsewhere for how much we will be spending on per user. It's crazy to think how flexible they are not when it comes to user settings. Lack of integration with other sources is awful.

This is one area that does need some improvement. It can be slow at time, so we had our IT look at it from our side and we had no issues, so it has to be some slowness on their side.

Its features like sales automation have helped in saving our time and with the help of this tool, we can keep the data of our loyal clients safe in one place. It has multiple features to facilitate one's experience. But its price is not good. Agiline CRM is a tool that has made customer relation management quite handy.

As a new employee and CORE user, I talk to support on a weekly basis. I have never had to wait for more than 3 min to get connect with a support rep, and all my questions have been answered. The support representatives are polite and eager to help no matter how simple your question is.

Alternatives Considered
Agiline LLC
Agiline CRM is a magic tool with multiple features and works so well with our business. The working of Agiline CRM. is fast but on the other hand, the speed of action of 1CRM was not so good and was clunky. Above all 1CRM wasted our time as that was so difficult tool to understand.

Deltek Vision is far more advanced, more encompassing and offers more flexibility with what you want to do. However, it's also quite difficult to use, whereas BQE CORE is intuitive and user friendly. The trade off is worth it in some arenas but overall it's not suited for a larger fast paced company. Great for smaller companies.
