Pros
I use BQE CORE because it functions very well with what I do & the projects that I need to keep track of. It is very user-friendly & the customer support that is found here is one that is hard to come by.
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.

Great project management software
Great project management software
Pros
Creating new projects using templates has been a tremendous time saver. The ability to easily track expenses and billable hours per project phase has made invoicing through CORE a breeze.
Cons
The platform is slow. Training/onboarding could be more in depth. While the software is intuitive it does take more time to implement than we initially expected. The calendar integration needs work. While report templates are great, you do not have the ability to fully customize reports.

Great All-in-One Product
Great All-in-One Product
Pros
This database covers everything, enabling time entries to match up with allocated hours to match up with invoices and budgets - a great piece of software that does everything administrative so I can focus on my job. They have stellar customer service - emails get a response often same-day, and when I call I always get a human who is very knowledgeable in the workings of the software.
Cons
It is occasionally buggy, and I would like more customization for non-programmers, but they're updating things all the time.

Great product for business management
Great product for business management
Pros
I have been using BQE Software for almost 4 years now. I have been reguarly logging hours and expenses as part of my daily work. I really love the app version in which I can snap a picture on the go from my receipt and toss the receipt away immediatelly. It has saved me tons of time of collecting receipts and then balancing my credit card account. For example, I have a colleague that takes 7-8 hours per month reviewing paper and digital receipts and logs them in. I take 30 seconds after the purchase and go on with my work. Tracking billable hours is also pretty easy and there are couple of options to do so for each personality from using project timers that you can play and pause to straight old-fashined type of plug-in. Overall, I am very happy of this software.
Cons
Nothing to complain about. My use of the software is limited to what has been requested of me.

This is amazing!
This is amazing!
Pros
I've been using BQE Core for my business, and I can confidently say it has been a game-changer in transforming the way we manage our operations. This software has exceeded my expectations in every aspect, making it an indispensable tool for any organization. One of the standout features of BQE Core is its user-friendly interface. The intuitive design makes navigation a breeze, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. The learning curve is minimal, and our team quickly adapted to the system, resulting in increased efficiency across the board. The time-tracking and invoicing modules are exceptionally well-crafted. With BQE Core, tracking billable hours and creating professional invoices has never been easier. The automation features have saved us countless hours, allowing our team to focus on more strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down in administrative work.
Cons
While BQE Core has proven to be a valuable tool for our business, there are a few aspects that, in my opinion, could benefit from some attention and improvement. Firstly, the learning curve for new users can be steeper than expected. Despite the user-friendly interface, certain features and functionalities are not as intuitive as they could be. Improved onboarding resources, such as video tutorials or interactive guides, could go a long way in helping users familiarize themselves with the software more efficiently. In terms of customization, there are limitations that may hinder the adaptability of BQE Core to specific business needs. More flexibility in tailoring reports and project workflows would be appreciated. As businesses evolve, having the ability to adjust the software to match unique requirements becomes crucial, and expanding customization options would greatly enhance the overall user experience.

Easy to navigate, so it is easy to use during a work day. It does not take up too much time to do what has to be done. At least for me as an intern.
Cons
There was one time I tried to eliminate hours within a certain day because I logged them in prior to the day happening. I know I should have not done this, and I have not done this after, but I ended not being able to go in that day. So I had to decrease the amount of hours from the other days of work to even it out.

Great project management software
Great project management software
Pros
Creating new projects using templates has been a tremendous time saver. The ability to easily track expenses and billable hours per project phase has made invoicing through CORE a breeze.
Cons
The platform is slow. Training/onboarding could be more in depth. While the software is intuitive it does take more time to implement than we initially expected. The calendar integration needs work. While report templates are great, you do not have the ability to fully customize reports.

Pros
This database covers everything, enabling time entries to match up with allocated hours to match up with invoices and budgets - a great piece of software that does everything administrative so I can focus on my job. They have stellar customer service - emails get a response often same-day, and when I call I always get a human who is very knowledgeable in the workings of the software.
Cons
It is occasionally buggy, and I would like more customization for non-programmers, but they're updating things all the time.

Great product for business management
Great product for business management
Pros
I have been using BQE Software for almost 4 years now. I have been reguarly logging hours and expenses as part of my daily work. I really love the app version in which I can snap a picture on the go from my receipt and toss the receipt away immediatelly. It has saved me tons of time of collecting receipts and then balancing my credit card account. For example, I have a colleague that takes 7-8 hours per month reviewing paper and digital receipts and logs them in. I take 30 seconds after the purchase and go on with my work. Tracking billable hours is also pretty easy and there are couple of options to do so for each personality from using project timers that you can play and pause to straight old-fashined type of plug-in. Overall, I am very happy of this software.
Cons
Nothing to complain about. My use of the software is limited to what has been requested of me.

This is amazing!
This is amazing!
Pros
I've been using BQE Core for my business, and I can confidently say it has been a game-changer in transforming the way we manage our operations. This software has exceeded my expectations in every aspect, making it an indispensable tool for any organization. One of the standout features of BQE Core is its user-friendly interface. The intuitive design makes navigation a breeze, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. The learning curve is minimal, and our team quickly adapted to the system, resulting in increased efficiency across the board. The time-tracking and invoicing modules are exceptionally well-crafted. With BQE Core, tracking billable hours and creating professional invoices has never been easier. The automation features have saved us countless hours, allowing our team to focus on more strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down in administrative work.
Cons
While BQE Core has proven to be a valuable tool for our business, there are a few aspects that, in my opinion, could benefit from some attention and improvement. Firstly, the learning curve for new users can be steeper than expected. Despite the user-friendly interface, certain features and functionalities are not as intuitive as they could be. Improved onboarding resources, such as video tutorials or interactive guides, could go a long way in helping users familiarize themselves with the software more efficiently. In terms of customization, there are limitations that may hinder the adaptability of BQE Core to specific business needs. More flexibility in tailoring reports and project workflows would be appreciated. As businesses evolve, having the ability to adjust the software to match unique requirements becomes crucial, and expanding customization options would greatly enhance the overall user experience.
