What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Capable and robust system with rich functionality. The developers clearly understand the professional service workflow. Support and account management from the developers is excellent, with quick response times and careful attention to detail. Training is also very good. The system takes a little while to get used to, and the back-end appears complex and a little clunky, but the workflow is well thought out and it is simple enough to use. There is a new web interface for timesheets and other user functions, and this is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Transition to web interface has been very slow. The existing back end is very robust, but a little clunky. Vendor invoice functionality seems overly complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Try it and don't be put off because the back end does not look quite as slick as others. Many others look better but the functionality is not as capable and they are not as robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Control of resource usage and cost expenditure on professional service engagements. Visibility of resource utilisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

I have implemented Projector at multiple companies, replacing other PSA's. The main reasons I recommend it are the ease of use, intuitiveness and ability to manage the entire life cycle of complex projects, starting with integration with our CRM all the way through to revenue recognition and invoicing that integrates with our general ledger. Projector allows consultants the ability to easily enter their time and expenses, see their upcoming schedules and request time off. It allows project managers to manage project budgets, timelines and resource management, and it allows management to easily report on KPIs and metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Feedback from our consultants and sales reps who travel frequently suggest that the mobile app could improve. The company is very good at listening to feedback and in a lot of cases, making changes in the next release based on that feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

I would recommend Projector PSA to any company who wants visibility into their projects, resources and financials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At my current company we were looking for an easier time sheet solution, a better way to manage projects (with up to date actual hours/revenue and forecast) and invoicing. Projector has solved all of these, as well as allow us to improve project margins since we have much better visibility and control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

They have made a very strong effort to make sure that the platform is migrated to all web based. I've been very pleased with the pace of their progress. (the platform was built with as PC only desktop management portal). The web based tools are user friendly and increasingly powerful for reporting and analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

The mobile capabilities for expense tracking are only through a mobile browser based app and that workflow is not all that great. As a traveling sales person I'd much prefer a native app with really quick capture for photos of receipts and expense tracking. Works in a pinch, but not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Make sure you have someone who will really learn it's ins and outs to make sure that your organization will get the most out of it. There really a lot of powerful features that I'm sure we don't get all we could out it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have much more granular tracking of time and expenses and it makes it easy for us to report key metrics out to our clients on our project. We are able to easily capture, approve, and run reports on time logged against projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating new reports is not user intuitive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Great for tracking time/utilization rate for specific projects;

Not so great for building customized reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need to find the way to track simultaneously budgeted and actual hours worked by project so we gain more insight into the profitability of the projects...haven't find the way to run report which would show both dimensions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Gregory Smith of BigTime Projector

Hi Jurate,

Thank you for sharing some thoughts on Projector. I'm glad to hear you are getting good use out of Projector's time and utilization reporting capabilities.

With regard to getting visibility into budgeted and actual hours worked, have you tried using a Project Portfolio report? There are quite a few ways to access this information depending on how your firm uses Projector, but the Project Portfolio report provides a nice roll up. Alternatively, you could use the Project Dashboard to view this information without needing to run a report.

We hosted a reporting webinar in our Projector e3 Community a little while ago that covered, among other things, this report. If you'd like to watch it you can access the recording here: https://e3.projectorpsa.com/topic-of-the-day-reporting-overview/

If you’d prefer to simply talk through some of these approaches please feel free to reach out to either our support team (support@projectorpsa.com) or myself directly. We’d be happy to walk through your use case or make some suggestions.

Thanks,

Greg
