Overall good experience, like any other software, there can be improvements at the consumer level. User experience isn't the mote important thing, considering we use this as a work order service management.. reliable functionality is the most imporant aspect, and big wave delivers.

Pros

Great functionality, lots of customizable, and overall very reliable. User interface could be better and more user friendly.

Cons

U/I, small glitches in the software, such as not being able to use the ampersand. semicolons, etc.

Overall BigWave has been great, it is the core component of our Project and Job Management flow.

Pros

Overall it is pretty easy and BigWave is always very good at adapting to their customers needs. It is a great way to communicate within your team regarding various projects and work orders. Keeps everything organized.

Cons

Some pages are very slow at uploading compared to other pages (e.g. our quote/invoice tabs are very slow). Sometimes small changes to templates etc. have to go through BigWave. Seems like a lot of work for a small change. It would be nice to be able to make those changes right away on our own. Sometimes we have to copy and paste stuff from different areas.. it would be nice if certain information could auto populate to similar pages where it is needed to be seen as well. Ex. Sometimes Line items in the Invoice Tab need to also be seen in the Supplier Purchase Orders tab or vice versa. Because the program is customizable, the overall appearance or flow of it seems choppy. Our comments section can often be quit lengthy, it would be nice to have one of those buttons that you click and it will take you right to the top of the screen again.

We managed the Major Deployment of several Major computer systems roll outs across the country with this platform managing hundreds of installers and dozens of project managers all being completed on time and at budget.

Pros

We used this to manage the deployment of several major systems across the country. This application flawlessly performed its functions well. The customization was great and the customer support was impeccable. We had a large number of people accessing the system and with a wide range of skill sets and it took very little training to get them up to speed on the application flow .

Cons

I don't really have any complaints about the system. It did it's job and it did it well. We did not have to bend our processes to accommodate the software too much and that was nice.

Tracking project statuses, documentation, and scheduling.

Pros

The global calendar for scheduling considerations, the ability to upload and share documents, ability to track site status for projects.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the inability to lock down data which is entered. This would be nice to have to avoid anyone going back into project custom fields and changing data in error.

Pros

This software is much more user friendly now. When we first started using it back in '05 (I think) many refused to use it because it was not at all user friendly and consumed entirely too much time for what should have been simple tasks. This product is night and day different now. We use it on a daily basis now for everything project related.

Cons

Still a bit tedious at times due to the numerous data entry points required when having to assign numerous resources during a session

All of the scheduling data is in one place. Does make is easier to view and capture assignments

Pros

Notifications. There shouldn't be a minimum on what is written in this section. Notifications is what I like most

Cons

Scrolling. It doesn't allow you to view all the data at a glance. I have to drill down to capture all the information needed.
