BigTime Reviews & Product Details

The public reports are the highlight of Bigtime, especially with their robust filter features. When projects and tasks are set up, they can be quickly sorted and filtered, making it simple to review both project performance and individual contributions. The data from these reports is easy to interpret and can be integrated into other work processes by downloading it in specific file formats. Additionally, the APIs are straightforward to use and implement, which makes creating custom data analyses much more accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is more of a suggestion than a criticism, but I think it would be helpful to include a 'task' field within projects. This addition would make it much easier to review the time billed to specific project tasks, as well as to the overall project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the overall general interface, both for its aesthetics and ease of use. For general use like doing weekly timesheets and expense reports I find that the layout is simple and easy to use. For my company’s setup, the dropdowns for both columns and rows are organized and user-friendly.

When I need to dive deeper into project details, the process in doing so is simple and BigTime makes it easy for me to review project bugets and client details.

I like that I can view weekly totals in my timesheet. It is insightful to know my billable hours vs. overhead.

I like/love the “clear blank rows” feature. It helps me start a clean, new week from scratch and removes a lot of the “noise” from the prior week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is just something that I think could be slightly improved. I am someone that has several weekly timesheet entries (rows), and sometimes it can be burdensome to find a specific entry. It would be helpful if there was a “search bar” to view or apply to specific rows (“Project” row). This would help me ensure I am not making duplicate entries quicker.

I really love the timer feature in BigTime because it helps me accurately track my project time and ensures it

counts correctly toward my time charges once I end a session. The platform is very easy to use and straightforward, which makes logging time quick and stress-free. It's also noticeably fast compared to tools we've used before, with no lag or hanging. Discovering the mobile version has been especially helpful when I need to log time quickly while away from my desk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't any major issues that stand out so far. As I continue using more features over time, there may be

areas where small refinements could improve the experience even further, but overall the platform has been

smooth, fast, and reliable in daily use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigTime works very well on PC and feels stable for everyday use. I like being able to sort data by both budget item

and work code, which makes it easier to review project details. The summary view showing billability rate is also

very helpful for understanding performance at a glance. Overall, the ease of use, reporting visibility, and number

of features make it a strong tool for managing time and financial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback for me is the mobile app. Compared to the desktop experience, the app feels less polished

and not as reliable for regular use. Improving the mobile experience would make it easier to work consistently

across devices and would better match the strength of the PC version.

What I like most about BigTime is how it centralizes time tracking and project management into one streamlined platform. It makes logging hours simple, quick, and consistent, which is extremely helpful during busy periods when accuracy matters. The interface is clean, organized, and intuitive enough that I can easily switch between jobs, review past entries, and stay on top of engagement codes without wasting time searching for information.

I also appreciate that BigTime improves workflow efficiency by reducing manual tracking and potential errors. Features like project visibility, time history, and approval flow make it easier to manage work and maintain accurate records for billing and review. Overall, it helps keep work structured and reduces administrative friction, allowing more focus on actual client work rather than tracking it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While BigTime is very useful overall, there are areas that could be improved from a user experience standpoint. At times the platform loads slowly or lags when switching between pages, especially when accessing reporting or searching through historical entries. Navigation could be more streamlined — certain functions require multiple clicks, and locating older entries or making edits sometimes feels less intuitive than expected.

In addition, reporting could benefit from greater customization flexibility. Although basic reports work well, more filtering options, data layouts, and export formatting choices would make analysis faster and reduce the need for manual adjustments outside the system. With improved speed, smoother navigation, and enhanced reporting capabilities, BigTime would become even more efficient and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigTime is easy to use for organizing multiple projects, including different disciplines within the same project, which makes time tracking clear for both my own work and for managing team members. Expense submissions are straightforward, and I like that different tax options are provided, and handled automatically. The ability to pull reports directly and customize report fields is also very helpful. Overall, the ease of use, strong reporting capabilities, number of features, and flexibility support both operational and project management workflows quite well.

At times, timesheet entries can time out without a clear warning, and refreshing or saving the page can result in lost entries. Additionally, when searching for projects, the option to include inactive or completed projects does not always work as expected, sometimes requiring opening a new tab and navigating back to the projects page. These issues are occasional but can be disruptive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate having both timesheets and expense tracking integrated into one platform, as it keeps everything centralized and simple to manage. Submitting timesheets via the mobile app is especially convenient, particularly when working remotely. The auto invoice drafting feature is also valuable, as it streamlines billing and cuts down on manual work. Overall, the platform’s user-friendly design, robust functionality, and seamless integration of essential features make my daily tasks much more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few aspects that could use improvement. For instance, having the ability to copy timesheet comments from one day to the next would save time on repetitive entries. Additionally, the mobile app sometimes encounters issues when submitting expense reports, and there is occasional lag that can slow down the process. Although these issues do not prevent daily use, addressing them would make the overall experience even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use BigTime for tracking time, budgets, and billing. I appreciate the great visibility it offers into the history of each project, helping me see the big picture and forecast future work. I like BigTime's ability for each person in the company to see the financial impact of their individual work, which helps us all understand our contribution to the company's bottom line. The simple charting within each project gives a quick overview of where the work stands and how much budget is left to finish a project. We've recently switched from other tools like FileMaker and Sage because BigTime combines the best features of those two solutions and continues to add valuable updates. I also found their support team to be helpful in resolving setup hiccups quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have any problems with BigTime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big Time has been an incredible tool for organizing all of our business functions into one easy to use environment. The ability to customize fields is especially keen for the type of professional services our firm provides. With Big Time you can centralize and streamline your invoice processing including the ability to sync to QuickBooks. The implementation process was seamless and helped our team feel confident in maximizing the functionality of Big Time for our purposes. Even after the implementation process is complete, with the continued access to customer support you will have peace of mind knowing that any questions that pop up will be attended to.

I honestly don't have a negative thing to say about it. I've used other project management systems that were not as robust and Big Time solves any issues I'd experienced elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that BigTime autosaves while entering time, which helps prevent lost work and makes the process feel safe and reliable. The platform is generally very stable, with little to no downtime during work hours. I also find the interface straightforward and intuitive, which makes weekly time entry and daily use simple and efficient overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were an easier way to copy a timesheet from one week to another, as this would save time for recurring work. It can also feel restrictive that a comment is required for every time entry, especially when the work is repetitive. These don’t block usage, but easing them would improve efficiency.
