It unifies the full client engagement lifecycle in one connected system, from scoping and selling new work to staffing, project delivery, invoicing, and payments.

AI-powered resource planning tools ensure the right people are assigned to the right projects based on skills, availability, and capacity. Teams can capture time and expenses quickly through intuitive web and mobile interfaces, with configurable approvals and reminders to keep work accurate and compliant. Billing and invoicing are streamlined with flexible models—time and materials, fixed fee, retainer, or blended rates—so firms can bill how they work. With one-click invoice generation and integrated payment processing via BigTime Payments, firms reduce days sales outstanding (DSO), eliminate manual steps, and accelerate cash flow. BigTime also provides real-time dashboards and AI-driven analytics for full visibility into key performance metrics including utilization, project progress, and profitability.

It simplifies how firms manage projects, people, and payments by centralizing data across the organization—reducing errors, eliminating double entry, and freeing up teams to focus on client value instead of administrative work.

These integrations keep data aligned across systems, reduce double entry, and provide a more holistic view of operations across the business. BigTime is built for scale. It supports firms from 10 to over 500 employees with features like role-based permissions, multi-entity support, audit logs, and enterprise-grade reporting.

It feels like it’s been weirdly customized. > > **Cons**: It’s very hard to find certain views and screens when you want to report on projects and look up time. The most useful screen put often buried behind eight or nine different steps to get there. > > I feel like this is a legacy government contractor software that people have to use because it has certain features that others don’t, but it’s very clunky and clumsy ----- ### "BigTime is great\!" — 5.0/5 > **Joey** | *22 May 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything for business management all in one place\! (Time tracking, invoicing, planning, etc). It is easy to use for management and team members alike\! > > **Cons**: Visuals/Graphics for reports is not as interesting as some other options we've used in the past. BigTime foresights add on has much better UI for the reports/metrics. > > Very successful overall\! Takes some time to get integrated into all of the details, but worth it\! \[sensitive content hidden\] and their implementation team was excellent\! ----- ### "Core features have degraded - Buggy updates" — 2.0/5 > **Ben** | *29 June 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product is easy to track time with. When features work, the dashboards and reports are helpful for analysis. > > **Cons**: It is difficult to use reporting because it breaks frequently. This seems to have occurred more often over the last several months than earlier in our time using the product. Customer support acknowledges bugs, but development is slow to correct key features, such as the loss of the ability to export simple reports to Excel. The product seems to over promise and underdeliver a lot of the time. We recently upgraded one of the modules based on meetings with the sales team. Shortly after purchasing, key dashboards suddenly stopped working. Communication could be improved. Customer service has acknowledged being aware of a bug before we reported it, but never let us know. I would value communication regarding the health of the product to help with our planning, rather than the frequent marketing notices. ----- ### "Like using BigTime" — 5.0/5 > **Bridgette** | *21 January 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the easy user interface, and the fact that I can quickly select projects and phases. I also appreciate being able to reference past timesheets so I can see what I worked on in the past. Anytime I have had an issue their customer support has been helpful. > > **Cons**: It would be more helpful (for me) if things were slightly more color coded, and I've seen other interfaces that show things to team members such as utilization rates, remaining money in budget (things which my team may choose to only share with project managers). > > It has been a straightforward and streamlined experience working in BigTime and I have had no major issues. ----- ### "Reliable Platform, Excellent Customer Service" — 4.0/5 > **Sue** | *23 July 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about BigTime is the outstanding customer support. \[sensitive content hidden\] , our assigned Customer Success Manager, has been exceptional—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. Beyond that, the knowledge base is thorough and easy to navigate, and the online chat option provides quick, helpful responses when we need them. Overall, the level of customer support we’ve received has been phenomenal. > > **Cons**: While BigTime offers great functionality, some project management features could be more intuitive. This is relatively minor compared to the overall value and excellent support we receive. > > Overall, our experience with BigTime has been positive. The software covers all the essentials we need for project tracking, budgeting, invoicing, timesheets, and expense management in one place. While there’s a bit of a learning curve, especially around some project management features, the platform is solid and reliable. What really stands out is the exceptional customer support—\[sensitive content hidden\] and the support team have been instrumental in helping us navigate challenges and get the most out of the software. For organizations looking for a comprehensive PSA solution with great support, BigTime is a strong choice. ----- Page: 1 / 28\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/3026/bigtime?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/3026/bigtime) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
