There is a learning curve to using Core, but with the available training and support from the software we got adjusted really quickly!

“Great program, no problems or bugs when using it.”
Pros
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.

“BQE Core”
Pros
Great for tracking time and overview of project budget spent, invoiced etc. Good customer service and training.
Cons
Reports are a bit complicated to figure out how to get the data you are looking for. Could be more user friendly but not too bad once you learn it. Allocations forecasting feature still need work to be useful.

“Works well for companies with large numbers of projects being monitored at once”
Pros
BQE CORE works great for companies that have lots of projects going at once, and work on each has to be monitored closely. I typically have between 6-10 projects that I actively work on every week, so using the software makes it easy for me to break down my time effectively. For companies with less long-term projects, I imagine it would also be helpful to help break down the small chunks of work being completed over the long term. Its also easy to access through the mobile app, and keeps a great record and allows for filtering of all previous work
Cons
The site has been slow at times, and I dont particularly love the fact that time entries in the time sheets will auto-populate based on previous weeks work. Also, if I want to delete an entry from the time card page, I have to switch over to the time entries page to do so. These are minor things but can get frustrating over time.

Daily user here. I think the core software is pretty good. Its interface is user-friendly with multiple ways of tracking, viewing and inputting time and expenses. I also like that there is an app for your phone for quick entries or for timing tasks.

It can be a bit laggy, room for improvement like task management integration

Pros
Fairly easy to navigate as long as you arent afraid to click around, trial and error, to learn where to go. I enjoy all the user preference you can apply to curate your timecard, dashboard etc.Autosave feature is really nice.
Cons
It is a bit overwhelming with all the things this website can do, and you can get fairly lost in it.The back button feature? Never seems to be just going back one step.
