Overall Satisfaction with BQE Core
Archioffice was used across the whole organization as both a time keeping tool, billing tool, and project management tool. It handled the problem of time tracking and budgeting of hours and fees.
- Time tracking because you can account for almost every single minute of your day with detailed descriptions attached. The reporting of time came in very good use when clients questioned billing.
- Robust billing portal that was pretty customizable.
- Could track employee costs well once the correct numbers were placed into the system. Came in very handy for billing and company budgeting and projections.
- The overall layout and physical design of the portals could be simplified greatly. The program is anything but intuitive to use.
- I found myself clicking what felt like a 1,000 times just to complete one small task. Billing was very cumbersome and the program did not integrate smoothly with Quickbooks as was previously promised.
- Saving and making templates for billing etc. was a tedious process that also cost extra!
- The program is as good as what you put into it, but they designed the software for a more particular one-sided way to work and manage, so it made customizing a project to your companies methods tricky.
- Overall a very cumbersome program that looks as if it was designed at the start of the millennium and note 16 years into it.
- It positively organized our time tracking and the reporting was robust enough to use for client meetings.
- It negatively took up more time to do certain tasks that shouldn't be so time consuming.
- Harvest
I love Harvest, especially compared to Archioffice. It's very intuitive, simply designed and easy to use. Perhaps the billing isn't as robust or customizable as Archi, but I would take it over Archi any day.
