What impresses me the most about this software is its incredible adaptability, allowing us to tailor it precisely to our company's unique requirements.

Personally, my main challenge with this software occurs when updates are required. For field users like myself with unreliable internet access, being unable to access time sheets until updates are completed can be frustrating.

Pros

One of the features I like most is the ability to create estimates and track projects seamlessly from start to finish. All expenses are automatically integrated into our invoicing process with adjustable markup rates. It's versatile, supporting multiple pricing structures and integrating well with project schedules, resource planning, timesheets, and expenses.

Cons

The interface feels a bit outdated to me. It lacks some standard reports found in products like Quickbooks. The mobile timesheet feature, while functional, could use an update.
