JS Jay Shewan Firm Manager Chose BigTime Software BigTime Software blows Zoho out of the water because it's all in one place and the customer service is 1000x better than Zoho.

ANDREW TOUTANT Freelance Art Director \| Sr. Designer Chose BigTime Software It’s a great alternative to other invoice software since it's easy for a quick Excel invoice or other timesheet for contracting work.

Likelihood to Recommend	BigTime Software I believe it is well suited for our industry! We are professional services consulting firm and we need this! However if there is a smaller company who does not need to track these items, then they should not use this big of a platform Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	BigTime Software I like the functionality of being able to make payments electronically and the amount of banks and payment methods that are available. Another very useful feature of this tool is that the system allows to set a parameter to perform automatic invoices. I also really like the amount of templates that this tool has. Since it allows us to make customizable reports to our clients. Tommy Parker Management Consultant Read full review
Cons	BigTime Software For some types of projects, we are unable to use BigTime's invoicing feature. It would be nice if we could further customize invoices to fit our needs. We still have to use Quickbooks to complete certain invoices. Being able to create Purchase Orders in BigTime would be extremely useful to us. We currently use Quickbooks for this.

Alternatives Considered	BigTime Software I liked the client management, but it didn't do time tracking, billing or syncing with quickbooks. It was too robust for my needs. I tried it for the client management and thought I might use it along with bigtime, but it was too cumbersome and would involve too much double entry. And it didn't track time or bill which are necessary functions Incentivized Suzanne Priddle-Luck Owner Read full review
Scalability	BigTime Software The product is useful for faster billing and efficient timesheet logs. I do like the report features however there are many options and can be overwhelming for the user. It is most helpful to set up reports speaking to an agent to ensure the right fields are set, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	BigTime Software Before BigTime, we were using Excel to track everything, creating invoices, and run reports. Getting on BigTime has saved us tons of time and effort which equates to dollars saved on labor. From a legal standpoint, BigTime has allowed us to be organized and prepared in the event we would need to present financial details to anyone.
