5/5

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

The vast amount of information for any project which we need to look into...past or present. Data can be analysed and dissected in countless ways for a true picture from beginning to the end of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

As there is a vast amount of information in Projector, sometimes creating reports can be a bit overwhelming in finding the specific information you're looking for. This seems to ease as users get more comfortable in extracting reports from Projector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

As with any application, there is a learning curve - as long as you have the right people working with you along the way, there should be no major hurdles to impede using as quickly as you would like to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been using Projector to see detailed information regarding the utilization of our consultants by department and lines of business within our company. Our accounting department has seriously appreciated the ease of billing and invoices customers pretty easily, and how they are able to make adjustments if needed without major impacts to current process and procedures which we have within our company.

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

So many things! Being able to move time between projects E3 Assets, Webinars, tutorials; User Defined Field options; Your Support desk is the BEST! So very helpful! Ability to Forecast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Advanced Analytics is costly and takes too long to ramp up to be useful. Setting up a report (regular Projector reports) is a little complicated for a novice user. PTO Accruals dates are preset as annual - where I input monthly and have to roll the calendar back 11 months to give accrual. While I love all the E3 helps, sometimes the information doesn't include enough information for the novice. In Admin System - time approvals - I would like to see missing time sheets too.

Satisfies our general business needs--so easy to link our time, budget, and expenses in one system. Very simple and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Doesn't satisfy all of our business reporting needs and there are some user experience issues. There is no error message that comes up when a report being run is too large--it just doesn't ever run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Efficiency - within a single system, we could track time & expenses, schedule resources, manage projects, invoice clients, and integrate into our accounting system. Projector gives companies visibility and control of their business in real-time rather than managing through a rear view mirror. Scalability and flexibility - I worked in a Biz OPS role for 3 small to mid-size companies which initially used Projector to track resources' time and expenses. As the companies grew, we implemented the resource scheduling and project management modules. Management was delighted to use one system that captured all the data to manage their expanding business. Each company customized and displayed their data to gain visibility into their unique operation. Top Notch Support- Projector support is there for you! The support team's response time is fast. In 10+ years of using Projector, this team has been able to answer every question with a thorough explanation. They encourage you to contact them with any questions. Now, that's customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Projector covers all the bases and is a reliable, robust system. I can't say that I dislike anything about the product. However, to fully take advantage of Projector's capabilities, I would recommend adding a full-time administrator to the team who is the in-house Projector expert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Choose Projector for visibility into your business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Business owners' primary objective was to select a system that could provide accurate revenue forecasting and revenue recognition for their company. Prior to using Projector, the 3 small to mid-sized companies had no visibility into revenue forecasting. This feature alone transformed the budgeting and planning processes for these companies. Resource scheduling was a painful process for these companies before Projector. They were not sure when to hire resources and their timing often did not match project demand. Administrative "overload" was a problem in these small companies - many tasks were performed manually prior to using Projector (resource scheduling, client invoices, contractor invoices, expense reports). The operational efficiency gained through Projector allowed these companies to grow without adding significantly to their operations staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simply, straightforward but powerful"

4/5

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

It is overall very intuitive to use and does a great job tracking our projects and expenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

It's very dry from a UX perspective and the mobile app lacks some luster...but one could argue its simplicity in UI is what makes it more intuitive. It could use a little more flexibility from an Open API perspective as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great, light product with powerful features for those who need them"

4.5/5

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

As a smaller firm, we like the fact it is simple to use and configure. We also have some legacy processes, and we find it very easy to make the choice to either use some advanced functionality or have the option to turn it off or not use it at all. We get great, honest, personal support from Projector - we feel like our voice is being heard, even if we are far from one of their most important customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

The application is currently split into two: there is a PC/Mac compatible "power"/admin module, and the web-based "user" functionality. I would prefer it all in one place, though I know this is being transitioned gradually to ensure a good experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Good system that is surprisingly powerful and flexible under the hood. As a company, we advise on optimizing professional services operations; while we do not usually cover PSA technology as part of our advisory work, I have yet to really see big benefits of Netsuite OpenAir and FinancialForce over what I get here - aside from some (very big) integrations. My recommendation is to look into it, even if you think it might be on the small side for your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have made it possible for all project managers to take budget ownership of their projects - they now have the tool and insights to see for themselves what everyone is doing, how much time they spend doing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We run our business on a few key applications and Projector is one of them"

4.5/5

What do you like best about BigTime Projector?

Projector is extremely configurable - so whatever nuances of our business we want to model in Projector, there is a way to do it. The support and consulting teams at Projector have helped us answer the questions we can't figure out on our own using the extensive online help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigTime Projector?

Performance of the reporting engine is inconsistent so time to run and view reports can vary from instantaneous to a minute or more (which feels like eternity these days) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering BigTime Projector:

Projector is a complex product because of the level of customization it provides. I would recommend using Projector consulting to help you get started. They are moving more functionality to the web interface, but once you learn your way around the management console (fat client) you can do anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Projector to support our PS staffing, revenue forecasting and recognition, invoicing, time tracking, utilization reporting, capacity planning etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
