## Reviews

### "Great software for a small firm" — 5.0/5

> **Melissa** | *4 May 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Setup was very easy, the support was great at each step. It is the most cost effective for a small firm. At any time I can call or email a question and get a quick response. They are constantly updating and improving the system.
> 
> **Cons**: Updates sometimes cause lags the system, but if you sign up for updates they will let you know when they are doing them.
> 
> We went from no project management system and manual accounting. This has improved our productivity and improved profits.

### "Review of the beginning of the year" — 5.0/5

> **Celin** | *5 January 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Great invoicing platform for Time Based Civil Engineering" — 3.0/5

> **Melidee** | *1 February 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Time tracking; overall look of the invoices; tracking payments
> 
> **Cons**: Needs to improve features like adding email to each project; being able to make notes only visible to us on an invoice; seeing payment dates while looking at invoice (this takes several steps by going to the project tab); CORE can be slow and I find I have to enter 2-3 times before it will respond (Server issue?); Being able to create our own "template" for what assignments need to be used when creating a project and there's more not specified here.

### "Perry's BQE Review" — 4.0/5

> **Perry** | *29 August 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "BQE makes time keeping and tracking simple" — 5.0/5

> **Thomas** | *27 August 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.
