What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

When we first looked at Projector we had a slight concern that it could be a simple, low-end solution that wouldn’t address our business needs. But as we learnt more about it we realized that it is a powerful, practical solution that has been designed to address real-world requirements, rather than requiring us to distort our business to fit in with the tool. Whenever we ask “can Projector handle this?”, there is normally a positive answer.

Specific “best” areas include resource management, reporting, time entry and approval, the ability to integrate with other systems, and the very responsive customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

The current mix of functionality between the “desktop client” Management Portal and the “thin client” Web Portal can be a slight concern, requiring the use of different portals at different times. But one portal can connect to the other, which simplifies this. Project Managers won’t find full Microsoft Project task management functionality, so need to decide whether Projector task management is sufficient, or whether they should use a tool such as Microsoft Project alongside Projector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

The product is more powerful than it might first seem – bear this in mind when comparing with other products. But also, bear this in mind when planning an implementation – seek help and guidance from Projector to ensure you configure the system optimally for your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Projector has enabled us to gain benefits in areas such as resource management, with improved visibility of past and projected resource utilization. We have also achieved more up to date time entry due to the easy interface and the facilities for flagging missing time. Management information has also improved by using Projector reporting.

In addition, the integration with other in-house systems means that we have gained efficiencies (and reduced errors) by avoiding duplication of data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector is a level above any other project management system that i have encountered. Most systems can do the normal project management tasks, but its the power to be able to deep dive into your project data that makes Projector so valuable. The reporting is just amazing and I don't know any other system that has the different types of reports and the way a user can chop and change fields so easily to get very detailed reporting.

I also love the easy ability to integrate with almost any system out there. For example we have Salesforce, Home grown internal systems and our our HR system are integrated into Projector for online dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

The entire tool needs to be ported to the web. At present it is a mix between a tool on your computer versus time sheets, dashboards etc. are on a web portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

I would strongly recommend this tool anyone who wants more than the average project management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

We originally were looking for a resourcing tool, but have since fed our sales pipe line into projector, as well as out HR leave data, expense approval data, whereby we can mange project costs by time, revenue and expenses. As well as we are able to calculate project profitability, resource utilization, by month, phase and by project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

I personally have benefited tremendously from implementing the AAM (Advanced Analytics Module). It has provided our organization great insight into our resources, our revenue, our adherence to time entry and project management (among other items). The set up of this module was pretty simple, and the capabilities are really powerful and have helped our organization view our data in a macro way to identify trends and impacts that were previously going unnoticed. It has helped us manage write offs, and customer management gaps that were previously flying under the radar to ensure we capture more revenue and have happier customers. Additionally, I've loved working with Projector, they have been a fantastic partner, anytime we have a question about the product or how to do something, they answer quickly, professionally, and it's clear that they know their product inside and out as well as have a good understanding of our ask and why it's pertinent to our business. They really are just a great partner to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Some of the functionality remains in their desktop app (manager portal), while this is powerful it is a bit dated, however, they are actively working to move, improve, and expand this functionality to the web and with each new release they are doing just that. The nice thing is that each move/release is well thought out and communicated, and there have been no major challenges with these. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Work with their team and their consultants when implementing. Have a clear idea of what you want to get out of the product, cast that vision of the end result with them, and they will help you get there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Resource Forecasting, Revenue Forecasting, Revenue Recognition, Project Management, Resource Management / Planning, Time Tracking, Variance Reporting, Utilization Reporting, Project Reporting, Overall/Executive Reporting, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector PSA makes it very easy for me to manage scheduling our Consulting resources across a large number of client projects. It provides a concise way for me to see what all of our resources are working on and determine which resources are available for new projects. It also allows the Principals to enter new projects and request the resources that they are interested in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

There are a few small improvements that could be made to save me some additional time in terms of allocating the resources, but overall the program has been very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

Projector PSA allows me to save time in allocating resources and to have a clear and concise way to keep track of the resources. It also allows the Principals a good view into the resources available for upcoming projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problems we are solving as a result of using Projector - resource allocation/utilization along with visibility into project financial performance.

What problems is BigTime Projector solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Projector for our timekeeping system, invoicing and reporting analytics. The main reason we moved to Projector was because of their reporting capabilities and the analytics provided to help gain better financial insight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?
