BQE CORE Suite vs Clockify: Which is a better fit?

Cecilia T.: Hi, I'm Cecilia. I'm a financial administrator, and I give BQE Core Suite a five out of five rating. For more ratings like this, click below. We use it for maintaining costs and in invoicing our clients for the projects as they progress. We do it on a monthly basis, and it's very easy to maintain the accounts for the clients, make sure everything's up to date, and record all the payments. I like BQE because you can really customize pretty much projects, employees, all activities, the way you invoice. You can customize pretty much each process throughout the business cycle to your company's needs. You can filter and create groups and lists to meet the company's needs specifically for you. I work with architectural people who are very visual, and I think they use colors a lot and are very less wordy and more visual, I guess, is the big thing. We find Core sometimes all the screens look exactly the same, so they have to read it. And it's hard for them to say, "Okay, this is a budget screen. This is a fee schedule screen," because they all look the same. They're like blank slates. It would be great if all the budget screens were in one color and all the fee schedule screens were in another color so they know when they're keying something in at what point of the system they're in. Are they in projects? Are they in budgets? Are they in time entries? Green for time entries, yellow for budgets. That would really make, I think, just click in quicker for them. It takes longer for them to read every single screen.

Speaker 1: Hello, my name is Diego I'm the CEO at Denta AI, and my five star rating for Clockify if five out of five. Okay, so at Denta AI, we do consultancy. We are quite straight out in terms of partnerships, so we have to keep track of the time allocation of each one of our partners, and also inside the organization, so we need a tool that allows us to keep track of our time dedication, and also, it's the basis for our billing and budgeting to our end clients. So what we love about Clockify is extreme ease of use. It's very, very streamlined in terms of keeping track of which task are you being working on and which task or project you have been devoting your time to. You can do it several ways, and so some people just do it at the end of the day and they just keep track of the time devoted to each task, and maybe copy paste from the day before and modify. Or you can do it online and you can make the computer clock it directly, or even you can let the app monitor your use of the computer and then add up the time to each task. You can do that at the client project or task level, which is very convenient. So what I see as small room for improvement is there are three levels you can keep track of your time. Those are client, project, and task, and sometimes you might get a bit misled or mixed up between the three levels. So maybe the app could do something in terms of clarifying or providing default behaviors for the things you most usually are repeating.
