I like that it remembers the usual client entities. Makes it easy to choose the top clients worked on.

Cons

Sometimes the system is slow, but that is usually rare.

Overall, I find the suite to be very helpful for what I need it for. It allows me to focus on my work without stressing about this aspect of the business. I more-often-than-not trust that things are taken care of properly and effectively.

Pros

It's easy to navigate and find what you need. This is an important aspect because I don't want to have to spend a lot of time trying to navigate my way around.

Cons

One minor complaint is that sometimes my time entries double up for no reason. This can lead to confusion within our payroll department.

In the time I've been using it, at first I thought it was an odyssey, but then I realized how easy it is to see the hours you work and the hours you don't, and it gives you control to know what to do.

Pros

I can schedule my work hours and it tells me the total hours worked.

Cons

What I like least is that I have to post it every week instead of it being a biweekly report.

I use this as a resource allocation tool to manage my specific project within the company I work for. I allocate resource by hour and within a specific budget per resource hourly rate.

Pros

So far I have enjoyed the modifiable nature.

Cons

I am struggling to view or change forecast dollars and hours in the same window without having to refresh the page to switch from one to the other. It would be nice to have them together on the same page and update live.

Overall my experience with BQE CORE Suite is extremely positive. I rarely encounter any issues.

Pros

The dashboard is extremely useful as it provides a snapshot of all the information important to me (e.g. performance, PTO balance etc.).

Cons

At times when using the mobile app, I am unable to see narratives for time entries. This is usually rectified by logging out and back in again however, this can be inconvenient.

BQE makes time keeping and tracking relatively easy. Good layout for site navigation. You can add widgets to your "dashboard" for what is important to you.

Pros

Good for time-sheet tracking. Both for yourself and tracking time billed to projects. Easy input with a well-working search feature and "Load Recent Activities" button. Also breaks up billable and non-billable time for you.

Cons

Our company does not use the Project Planning/Tracking App, so not comment on the usability of that.

Pros

The functions on BWQ CORE Suite are very user-friendly & easy to navigate. I am able to track my time that I spend on each project very easily, which in turn helps me prioritize my tasks for the upcoming weeks.

Cons

Sometimes the program will run a bit slower than others that I use on my computer, but that could very well be related to the amount of information under one's profile rather than being a quality issue.

My experience has been well, except for what I shared in the cons.

Pros

It is easy to navigate through the program and look for help if needed.

Cons

One thing that has grabbed my attention is that you are not able to take off hours that you have put down. Instead it is forced to have a minimum of 1 hour. I know I should have not done this, but I logged in a couple of hours before hand and was not able to go into the office that day. So when I tried to take them off it would not work, I instead took off a couple of hours from the days I did work.
