BQE CORE vs. Runrun.it

I would recommend this for our industry: architecture, engineering, or construction. I would recommend this for any larger firm with many employees or high number of projects. I would particularly recommend this for a company with projects that have budget constraints and where time tracking and expense tracking is very important. I would not recommend this complicated software for a small firm with a small amount of income or number of projects.

Apropriado para gestão de tempo, organização de demandas e planejamentos, tanto de forma micro quanto de alta gestão. Inapropriado para trabalhos colaborativos na área de geração de ticket. Falta um canal de comunicação mais fluído e com mais ferramentas de suporte. Provavelmente uma interface com o hangout ou chats do e-mail cadastrado facilitassem essa comunicação. Suitable for time management, organization of demands, and planning, both on a micro level and high management. Inappropriate for collaborative work in the area of ticket generation. There is a lack of a more fluid communication channel and more support tools. Probably an interface with Hangouts or email chats would facilitate this communication.

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.

It's easy and practical, doesn't need too much time to learn how to use it.

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.

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.

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.
