BigTime vs Everhour: Which is a better fit?

Jen H.: I'm Jen. I'm the president of the Civil Engineering Firm. I would give BigTime five stars out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before I used BigTime, I use Deltek Vision and QuickBooks, and those are very robust programs for a lot of projects. And I didn't have that number of projects that I needed to look at. I started using BigTime because my friends recommended it to me. I have a friend who is a landscape architect who uses it every day and he was very proud of the program and thought highly of it and recommended that I take a look at it. When I looked at it, it was the perfect piece of software for what I needed at the time. I picked up BigTime when I first started my business. It was very easy to pick it up, very easy to call and ask questions of customer service. We had a two hour onboarding session that showed me all of the intricacies of BigTime. The key things are how many employees do you really want to use this? And what functions do you want them to perform? Because I had to go through a lot to figure that out as to what access to give who.

Julie W.: Hi. My name is Julie, I am a project coordinator in the digital marketing industry, and I give Everhour a four out of five. When we were considering a different time tracking software, we looked at several different ones. We looked at Harvest, Clockify, Tsheets, Hubstaff, and we finally settled on Everhour. We switched over from the free version of the Tick software but we decided we needed something a little more robust. We ended up picking Everhour because of the different features that it had, had a lot of great features for the price. It integrated with our project management software that we have been using and it also allowed different people to have different levels of access to everyone's different time sheets, or the appropriate amount of people's time sheets. Also allowed us to categorize the work that we were doing by project, so within our project software we were able to put different tags on things and then we could see exactly how much time we were spending on any certain project. When we were switching over to Everhour, the biggest challenge that I would say was just getting everybody to use it, and that's something that would have happened with any software. Other than that, it was very easy to use, to put everybody's information in and adjust everyone's level of access. Then, for the admins to log in and see what kind of time everybody was logging, that was all very easy to get used to and relatively intuitive and user-friendly, so it was a pretty smooth process. If you are considering getting Everhour, I would recommend first looking at the different features and functions. There are time trackers that can do more or contract more things but this one I found to be a very good value for the price. The one drawback that might be important to you is that it does not track exactly which hours that somebody worked. It won't say you worked from two o'clock to three o'clock, it'll just say I worked an hour. If that part matters, you might want to consider other options. If you have a small staff, if you're on a budget, and if you want to be able to group things by project, I think that Everhour is great and has some really good features, definitely worth looking into.
