Overall has been a very positive experience using BQE CORE Suite. It allows for clear communication between myself and my team leadership, so there is no question about where my time is going and how long a task took to complete.
Pros
It breaks down each of my projects clearly and I can directly see where all of my time is going! It offers a lot of control.
Cons
It did not feel very user-friendly initially, but I caught on after some questions asked to my coworkers!

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.
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.

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.
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.

Overall my experience with BQE CORE Suite is extremely positive. I rarely encounter any issues.
Pros
The dashboard is extremely useful as it provides a snapshot of all the information important to me (e.g. performance, PTO balance etc.).
Cons
At times when using the mobile app, I am unable to see narratives for time entries. This is usually rectified by logging out and back in again however, this can be inconvenient.

BQE Core was easy to transition to with very little complications. It's features are very flexible and work. I learn more about it's capabilities every week.
Pros
BQE Core is very flexible in how you can allow employees to track their time and decide if it is billable or not.
Cons
It has many features that we do not use but I can see how other companies would appreciate the additional functions.

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.
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.

I would definitely recommend Core to others. You have to learn the product first but once you do, it's very helpful.
Pros
The reports we are able to run are extremely useful to us. You can see how each project is doing super easily.
Cons
At first it was a little hard to use but only because we were used to another program. Now that we use it every day, it's become very helpful.

Good. Invoicing and time entry in the program fit our needs. There are always more features that we discover when we need more from CORE.
Pros
The program is cloud based which keeps us current. Most of the time when I have specific report, feature, or activity that I want, I can find what I need quickly. As with many programs, CORE does more than my office utilizes it for. Invoicing and time entry are usually smooth processes.
Cons
We migrated from ArchiOffice and feel that the way contacts are managed in CORE is utterly useless. We've abandoned it in favor of a piecemeal assortment of Office 365 and Mac built-in programs.The structure of projects is also something that can be improved. When a project transforms from hourly to percentage or adds phases, CORE has some flexibility but there are troublesome aspect such as migrating time from a single phase project to ensure it can be captured in invoices.

The platform runs slow and you have to constantly scroll. Great reporting options; however, could use improvement by allowing more customization on templates (removing fields, adding fields, etc...)
