      As a long-time user of Praesto AE, I think I can say that it really helped us with all of the accounting and data managing tasks we have in our mechanical engineering firm.

      The program has the capability to compile all of our promotional material and job history in an easy-access database which, is super helpful because we now always remember all of our projects both past and present. Our business still uses Quickbooks for tax purposes but Praeston AE takes care of everything else. I definitely recommend this!

      I love Praesto for it has been fantastic in helping us do the big jump from excel workbooks to the program itself. We were able to continue our projects and time tracking tasks on the new platform without experiencing even the slightest hassle.

      It improves the workflow by bringing more clarity in the team. The notification board and self-saving system are outstanding. Before that, I was feeling devastated when there’s a sudden issue and all my work was gone. It is a robust software which has everything to offer which a PM product should do.

      Uploading is very slow. Basecamp is a useful app but only for those who know how to use it and are a real hard worker. It may be frustrating otherwise. More tutorials should be there to guide people.
