Changed the game

PROS

The software has given us a great tool to communicate where our projects are both internally as well as externally with our clients.

CONS

Nothing really stands out about "liking least", I'm just happy to be able to give feedback about features and then see the Monograph team deploy those requests.

Beautiful and Transparent Firm and Project Management Tool

We've been able to solve our issue of having tons of data in different places, unable to reconcile them - assignments, pipeline/backlog, time tracking, budgets, etc. We tried to build something ourselves with the tools we had until we found Monograph, who does it perfectly, and understands what it takes to do architectural projects. The staff is incredible, and the expanded focus they've placed on building a community of practice operations nerds is SO valuable. From the product to the people to the community, they're incredible.

PROS

Monograph is so beautifully designed that my team of architects enjoy looking at an analyzing data now. We love how past, current, and future fee and staffing projections are married together to give us a clear picture of our firm's profitability and staff and project needs. Our firm owners can see high level firm health info, our project managers can see how they're performing on their projects, and our staff can see exactly what they should be working and reporting on. I also appreciate that it's a newer platform that's constantly putting out new updates, features, and functionality.

CONS

We understand that it takes time to build a great product and some things are going to be missing or slightly off as the platform improves. There are some minor annoyances with reporting functions, exporting features, and how resources are assigned work, but we get around it for now. Accurately tracking overhead time and PTO could use major improvement. I'd love to see different user types for guests and/or independent contractors - it's too high of a price point to invite part time 1099 contract staff to use it, but would be very convenient if they could track time directly against our projects on Monograph. I'd also like to see more app integrations.

Reason for choosing Monograph

Past experience w/ Deltek is clunky. I like supporting startups and love what Monograph is doing overall as a company. I'd like to support them in building the best platform for architectural practice ops management.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback! We've added these items to our request board for the team to review for future enhancements. We'd be happy to set up a call with our customer experience team to learn more about your needs!

Monograph Review

We paid through the year and hope you all continue to make improvements. If major improvements are not made by the end of the year, we will do anything we can to ditch the software.

PROS

The time tracking for projects and overall cost evaluation is fantastic.

CONS

The cumbersome use is terrible. Lack of being able to create and share tasks easily is also not good. Not being able to collaborate with other Monograph users for tasks is very frustrating. Invoicing is constantly glitching and the partnership with Stripe is Hell and has personally cost us close to $10,000 in lost revenue.

Reasons for switching to Monograph

We wanted one software to do the function of two.

MONOGRAPH - The Best Software for Design Professionals

My favourite feature is the time tracking and invoicing. It's made life so much simpler to have everything tracked in one place and I love the new options to provide reminder emails for invoices, and the ability to see when an invoice was opened etc.

PROS

I love the ease of use and interface. The platform is well suited to those working in the design/construction industry as it caters to their daily/monthly/yearly requirements. It's very straightforward when setting up a new project and the gantt chart offers a wonderful overview of workflow.

CONS

I don't have any cons. If there was one thing that seems a bit intimidating, it would be the financial forecasting features. However as a new business owner this is more of a user issue than a software issue.

Reason for choosing Monograph

It's focus on design professionals won me over

suulin architects review

As said above, we haven't taken full advantage of it...and this has been expensive for us. But we can't really afford to change to another platform at this point.

PROS

I like the idea of Monograph, but so far we haven't been able to take full advantage of it. So it's a very expensive timesheet app. I don't know why it's been so hard for us to take off on it.

CONS

Really need a phone app. I would like more customization options. Colours, graphics, etc. Especially to differentiate projects. I often don't get around to plugging my numbers in...an app to do this would be really helpful.

Reasons for switching to Monograph

We thoughts monograph would help us more.
