> **Patty** | *22 September 2016* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The history it creates and the ease of searching the same.
> 
> **Cons**: Being web-based, can't access if internet down.
> 
> I've been working with this program for over 5 years now and I love it, especially for the history that we've been able to create at site and project levels.  Very easy to use, to train for use and great for report generating.

### "Fantastic Management Tool." — 5.0/5

> **James** | *13 December 2016* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to customize BigWave on the fly gives us flexibility and scalability that isn't found elsewhere.
> 
> We use BigWave to manage the service operations for our customers across over 25,000 locations. BigWave is a flexible, easy, and valuable tool, and is a critical component of our success.

### "I have a fairly easy time when creating work orders.  The reporting really helps in tracking my work" — 3.0/5

> **Herminia** | *15 February 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: Reporting is awesome when your looking for specific project details.  Providing the ability to view the Standard Metrics and billing information.  I would like to understand why we need to put in the minutes as opposed to hours in the Standard metrics.  Is this due to the way we requested to have it set up or is it the standard?
> 
> **Cons**: It can be a little cumbersome when adding multiple images. When adding multiple images at times it freezes and does not take all of the images and I will need to add them in portions.  This happens while dragging and dropping the files into Big Wave.

-----

### "Coordinator Review" — 4.0/5

> **Tracey** | *5 August 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use and navigate. Great little updates could be done once discussed with team if find it would be beneficial .
> 
> **Cons**: still new to company, will require more time to settle in to answer this.
> 
> I am still new to software and company. Only three months in. So far it is going ok.
