Considered Both Products	HomeTech Publishing Verified User Chose ADVANTAGE We only use Advantage for time tracking and billing, which Wrike provides but does not organize in the best way. Wrike, however, is far superior when it comes to a project management system and has much more flexibility in how to use the system. I would say that Salesforce is … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	ADVANTAGE
Likelihood to Recommend	HomeTech Publishing Any integrated agency (more than just a single-discipline agency) that's looking for a one-stop shop to manage all aspects of running the business would do well to consider Advantage as the single-source tool to do it all. Single-discipline agencies could probably find a less robust tool that's equally as effective for tracking and reporting. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	HomeTech Publishing Media billing PO Organization Time Details on Billing Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	HomeTech Publishing Advantage is hugely cumbersome. There are hundreds of functions I will never use, and that I'm not sure anyone else in the organization uses. The user interface could be better. Every time there's an update, there's a small but definitive learning curve. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Alternatives Considered	HomeTech Publishing We have also used BidClips. I find that Advantage gave us more flexibility with custom estimates & report tracking. Incentivized Jessica Caudill Dispatcher Read full review
Return on Investment	HomeTech Publishing It keeps job time organized by job so we can bill properly for work It keeps POs organized by job so that we can track easier Provides reporting that gives insight into employee time and where it's spent Incentivized Verified User Read full review
