Bill quick is a perfect solution to create invoices and be able to bill many different attorneys on different projects.
Pros
The ability to customize many of its features is great. You can setup and keep track of time associated
with various cases, clients, projects. There are so many reports that you can run to keep track of your spending. Able to export invoices to LEDES format. Able to import time from excel spreadsheet.
Cons
It takes some time to learn the software, the tech support team was great in getting me up and running. If you want additional reports they have a custom report group but their cost is a bit high to modify reports. It looks a bit complicated but actually it is easy to use.

CORE is a real time saver !
Reviewed on 3/8/2022
Implementation took longer than expected but has proved worth the extra time to get it right.
Implementation took longer than expected but has proved worth the extra time to get it right.
Pros
Using CORE to invoice our clients has freed up so much of my time I'm afraid I could have streamlined myself out of a job. Billing previews that used to take days are now done in hours. The time to create invoices and submit them for approval takes about 25% of the time before CORE. Easy to learn and a breeze to use.
Cons
ORE is a very complex software system to set up, but once we worked out all of the nuances and specifications, this software rocks!

I have used much better tools than CORE. In a pinch, it gets the job done, but I've heard a lot of complaints from team members over the years and it might be worth it to look elsewhere to save yourself the headaches.
Pros
The tool is cloud-based, which makes entering time and expenses on the run easy. The app works as expected.
Cons
Lots of issues and downtime can be problematic when you're under a time crunch. The interface is clunky and not easy to navigate and use quickly.

Pros
Projects take on and set is exactly according our business processes. CRM is a very good addition.
Cons
Not much except that the accounting module cannot intergrate Sage Pastel which used by our accountant. I’m sure the BQE team can work out something if I ask but I haven’t.

The best benefit is BQE's customer service, anytime we've had an issue or question they are quick to assist and resolve!
Pros
This is a really great all-around billing/invoicing software. It took some time to learn but has some really great features, our favorite being a more advanced break down of our project's phases and billing. You can even add a note to each time record's slot for each day.
Cons
There is definitely a learning curve for the first few months as it is not as user intuitive as it could be.
