“BQE helps our company to safely keep track of our time and follow up with our clients.”
Pros
The tool is not only about a personal tool, but it helps us to work as a team, leveraging internal communication processes. BQE Core is easy to use and helps to avoid unnecessary waste of time
Cons
They could have more ways to present the time entries, and just like Google, they should use autocomplete functions.

ID and Design International, 51-100 employees
“Great Timesheet Interface but Lags Often”
Pros
I like the fact that the project names stay from week to week so you dont have to reinput the project number every week. I also love that you are able to submit PTO requests directly to your manager or director for approval. Its also helpful that it keeps track of all the PTO time you have used and unused throughout the year. This definitely eliminates the hassle of having to go to accounting to know the balance of your PTO hours.
Cons
The user face for the timesheet implementation is easy to use but this has been an unresolved issue for me. This has been a problem since I started using the program years ago. I have not yet seen any solution to this.

“Overall Satisfaction with BQE CORE”
Pros
I use BQE CORE as time entry and tracking tool. CORE is well suited for time entry and reporting across employee groups and projects.
Cons
It is not the most intuitive tool. It can be difficult to get the reports to show the data you want, and there is no way to remove data fields from a report.

“Great software for a small firm”
Pros
We previously did our accounting manually and didnt have project management implemented. We were able to choose which modules we needed and setup was very easy. There is always support and training available.
Cons
They are always improving the program and sometimes there are lags with reports when updating, but they always let you know when they plan on doing it so you can plan ahead.
