BigTime Reviews & Product Details

I cannot stress how little I like BigTime. It's a better question to ask what I hate most. But then again it would be hard to pick. Probably what I hate most is how I cannot get in touch with anyone from BigTime to address seriously problems. Or maybe it's how there are problems with the software altogether- it shows payments having been made that weren't made- things just straight up don't make sense and no one cares.

Reports are terrible. Serious problems with the software altogether. Instead of it making life easy to bill, and giving us good insights, we cannot tell what is happening with bills, and we have no insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. I like the easy and multiple ways I can enter and submit time. I can use the web version or the iPhone app. I can work in a weekly view or in a daily view.

2. I love how easy it is to add/remove SOW and Tasks. I prefer to only see what I am working on in a particular week, so adding all the tasks for this week make it super clean to work with.

3. The screen/page layout is very concise and easy to understand. Icons (like locked or timer) are clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4. I would like access/permission to some canned reports based on my ability/permission to enter time. This could be a decision by my organization, as I am not an admin, but other than printing my timecard to a pdf, I can’t report on SOWs or tasks.

5. I think there is benefit to submitting a specific day’s hours. I plan out my time for the week by SOW/task and adjust as the time is worked. I would like to be able to submit time for a day completed, but not the rest of the week, since it is not yet worked. Perhaps this could be accomplished with a daily submit option in the Day view of the timesheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What stands out most is how easy the system is to use across the different dashboards. Navigation feels consistent and logical, which makes it simple to move between financial and project views. The integration with QuickBooks is also a major benefit and helps keep accounting aligned without extra steps. I also appreciate the project dashboards, which make it easier to monitor progress and manage projects effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major issues that impact daily use. At times, it can take some trial and error to fully customize dashboards or reports exactly the way we want them. However, once everything is set up properly, the system

works reliably and supports our needs well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigTime provides structured access to financial and project data within a centralized system. The platform offers

a comprehensive set of features that allow tracking time, reviewing financials, and managing projects in one

place. Overall, the system’s functionality and breadth of features support operational visibility and project

oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are several areas where usability could be improved. It is not currently possible to filter by labour code

under financials to see total hours spent, which would enhance reporting flexibility. Some navigation elements

feel unintuitive, such as not being able to click “project list” to return easily. Instructions referencing tabs like

“task” or “budget” do not always match visible page options, and adding or enabling columns is not clearly

guided. Overall, improving clarity, navigation, and alignment between instructions and interface would make the

system more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keeping track of expenses and input in relations to invoicing. Being able to see when we are going over an original amount on a jobs original balance. We also like the tracking of what has been invoiced what can be closed out, earnings. Also being able to add to the job, not having to create multiple jobs for the same area or client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to attach documents to the jobs created. We are currently looking at different integrations to use, that will help us in transferring over job information which will help in the error of job set up. We have documents as in proposals, drawings, purchase order receipts if those items were able to be saved under the job itself would help in errors for inputing the details of the job and purchase orders for the job itself.

BigTime is easy to use and quick to open, especially compared to other software that can take longer to load. It is simple to find projects using the search bar, which makes entering time fast and efficient. The reporting tools are strong, particularly for tracking budgets and project profitability. I also appreciate that it combines project management, invoicing, and expense tracking into one system instead of needing multiple tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major issues that stand out in daily use. At times, more advanced report customization can take a

few extra steps to configure exactly how I want it displayed. However, the system overall functions reliably and

supports core project and billing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the calendar view in the timesheet. It’s simple, clear, and makes tracking time feel natural instead of forced. Overall, the system is user-friendly, which matters a lot when using it frequently. The reporting tools are also helpful when I need a quick snapshot of what’s going on. With the ease of use, solid number of features, and straightforward setup, it fits easily into my daily routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The timesheet can get a bit crowded over time, especially with older projects still showing up. It would be great if inactive projects could be hidden automatically after a certain period. I also think the budget view could be improved by including unsubmitted hours or showing them separately. That would make it easier to see the full picture without extra steps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The timesheet view is really helpful because I can see all my time for the week in one place and make edits

quickly if needed. I also like how easy it is to switch between tasks while tracking time during the day. It makes it

simple to stay accurate without interrupting my workflow. Keeping track of billable versus non billable work is also

very clear. The new timer is a great addition and makes it easy to see what I am actively working on at any

moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no major issues that stand out in daily use. At times, it would be helpful to have a bit more flexibility in

customizing views or summaries depending on how I want to review my time. Overall though, the system works

well for what I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the user interface. It’s clean and easy to navigate between weeks without getting lost. Entering hours is straightforward, and the overall layout feels intuitive. I also appreciate the submission process—having that extra step to review and edit my hours before final submission is genuinely helpful. It gives me a chance to double-check that everything is accurate before the week is locked in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One issue I’ve noticed is with the submission notifications. I submitted my hours in December, but I’m still receiving notices saying I have unsubmitted hours. When I go back and check that time period, I don’t see anything missing or incomplete. If this is a glitch, I’d really appreciate it being fixed, since it can be confusing and make me wonder whether something was actually left unfinished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigTime is efficient and easy to use. One feature I really appreciate is the ability to copy previous month's recurring expenses. That alone saves time and reduces repetitive work every month. The overall structure of the system makes expense and time tracking straightforward, which helps keep reporting organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times, if I stay logged in for a while, the system appears to stop working properly. It does not always log me out, but when I try to submit time, it can fail and require a full reload, which means reentering everything. I have gotten into the habit of refreshing the page just to avoid losing entries. The attachment process for expense reporting could also be simplified, and a more flexible upload option would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
