Any.do vs. BQE CORE

Any.do is best for routine tasks whether personal or professional in nature. It is a simple app that organises your routine. It is not suitable for complex project management. You can streamline your daily routine and plan activities using this app. It will remind you of your tasks so that no task get’s missed.

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.

Incentivized

• Customizable Reporting

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.

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.

I can only remember a couple of times in 4 years that Core has been unavailable.

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.

I haven't had to reach out to support with Any.do, but I suspect that they're helpful and prompt with their responses.

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.

Make sure you have someone training you that fits your style of learning.

It does take some time to understand the options and to find the best invoice template.

Any.do has a key selling point for me and is the AI integration to read through your tasks and suggest calendar events, also user interface in the mobile app is quite friendly and comfortable for users. I like that it has a different option for grocery lists, it helps me integrate work with personal life.

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.
