Excellent Software Solution
I've been able to reduce the number of hours spent tracking consultant budgets on projects, and streamlined the invoicing process. The support team has been excellent, responsive and extremely helpful.
PROSThe system is very easy to use and set up. After a quick demo, my firm was up and running. I am able to easily track consultant fees and project invoices for each phase.
CONSI would like to have the ability to track proposals vs active projects. I've been told this is a feature that is coming soon.

BQE was too slow and clunky and tried to do everything, but nothing well.

Simple yet Powerful
Factor has made a large part of my job so much easier and less frustrating. Especially invoicing.
PROSThe ease of use. We have used other software design for the a/e industry and all of them are cumbersome and hard to find the correct information. Factor is very straight forward and the support is great. One of the best parts for our firm is that invoices and reports are customized for your firm. And Factor makes sure the invoice works the way you want it to work. This is a great improvement over the other software we have used in the past.
CONSThe only thing missing is our old software would push any employee reimbursable expense to be a bill to pay. In Factor I have to run an expense report and then go into Quickbooks and pay it. But that is just a change in routine so once everyone gets used to it, I think I will actually like it better.
Reasons for switching to Factor AE
Core was not a dependable program and the customer service was non-existent. We paid to have them customize an invoice and it was never corrected. They had a problem with the overall system and it took them a month to correct it. We used Core for accounting and project management and if you can't trust the numbers, you cannot run your business.

Over all happiness with Factor
Factor AE provides a single place for tracking employee time, tracking project time, tracking project budget, and creating accurate invoices with out being overly cumbersome. For a smaller office full of creative landscape architecture minds this program has been easy for all our staff to use.
CONSThere have been times when creating reports for our needs have been...challenging. Luckily, Factor has a very good support staff and they've been willing to help us. As with all software, there are things it won't do and we have to find ways around it, for me the reports have been that "thing."

Yes.
Cannot say enough good things about Factor A/E. We are a small architectural firm and searched high and low for a third party software solution to integrate with our Quickbook Online so that we could prepare customized, accurate, phased invoices for our clients and run various reports. We came up empty until we happened to find Factor A/E. Really very impressed with the software, support, and people there. Like, more impressed than you can imagine! So if you need to track phased projects and prepare invoices for an architectural firm, look no further. In our experience, there's no limit to their expertise, patience, or genuine concern for their clients. Five stars are not enough.
PROSEverything has been very good so far. Factor A/E has been remarkably helpful, responsive, and professional in delivering all we have asked for -- from time sheet entries to project tracking to invoicing to reports, Factor A/E is impressive and easy to work with.
CONSSo far we are pleased with everything at Factor A/E.
