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

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.

I enjoy everything that Monograph has to offer; however, what I enjoy the most is the milestone management. This has been a game-changer for our office. We have a distinctive dashboard display of all milestones that need to be completed that week. I can customize these and change them when needed. Plus, this is a great visualizer for our clients to understand their project timeline better.

I'm honestly enjoying everything with Monograph.

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.

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

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.

Intuitive and easy to use, very responsive development team that incorporates requests quickly.

Rapid updates to the software make it hard to keep projects tidy, as protocols for invoices can change mid-project. You can't customize the look of your invoice almost at all.

Once a project is entered, users can immediately track time and monitor performance. There are not major customizations to make and everything is available instantly. The invoicing process is one of the simplest I've expereinced.

Somewhat limited features compared to the big company offerings, but they are expanding their features on a monthly basis.

puts everything in one place as opposed to having multiple different products to do one feature each.

still working out some kinks and building new features.

Within a couple hours, we were hooked. Easy to use and customer service is there if you have any questions and quick to answer.

how easy it is to use / project management / reports

implementing data from quickbooks and onboarding takes time but it's worth it

I am satisfied with Monograph, our team has adopted it well within a couple of months. In general terms it does what it should. However I do think data insights and reporting could be improved a lot, and a mobile app would be great to have.

Monograph is very user friendly, easy to implement and navigate. The Gantt view of projects is pretty useful.

Given Monograph has so much information about our firms operation, I think reporting is very basic. Many insights could be obtained that would make the tool a lot more valuable! There is no mobile app for time tracking yet.

So far so good. We have had a few issues when setting up the system but the customer service was really good.

Monograph is much more user friendly than our last system.

Porting over all the projects into the system.

The time tracking feature billed against the project at a billable rate. This makes the time/money connection and helps plan efforts.

The task creation. I just prefer something more flexible

Monograph has made a big difference in our office regarding project management. All the hours are being captured for each project, and with the help of the reports, I can easily analyze each project's profitability, pain points, progress, etc. It allows me to quickly calculate what the fees should be for future projects, based on size and work required to complete it.

It is easy to use and allows us to analyze and assess each project. Based on previous projects, we can more accurately predict the amount of work and hours required, making each project more profitable. Lastly, Monograph are constantly improving the various features ie: payroll, taxes, payments, linking to accounting software, etc.

I wish team members could see their allocated hours vs. how many they've used in each phase of work without seeing the financials in a separate section of each project.

Overall we have been very satisfied with the program, service and features. I'm sure we're not taking full advantage of the capabilities yet, but look forward to being able to fully utilize the benefits when all of our current projects are transitioned into the software.

Monograph is designed for Architects and the features are practical and functional. The project management and time management are very intuitive and easy to implement.

Making the conversion from our previous time keeping and invoicing systems has been a slower process than anticipated. Some projects span over multiple years and converting them to the new tracking system is somewhat complicated.

Simple and intuitive user interface with great customer service.

Could use a better search functionality.

1. Strongest features are the Gantt type graph with small bar showing progress on value earned. Second, the roles that can be assigned independently.

2. The first month I used the software, I loved it. However, as the months go on, I have found that it doesn’t easily recap and present information as I hoped. Some of the tools and filters give decent overviews, but not specific enough information for a manager/proprietor. 3. Need to have clients that can assign project below and add filters in reports, widgets, project view, etc. of items by client. 4. Adjust dates by pulling graphical bars w/o having to open project “edit” mode, also gives ability to see other projects’ schedules when adjusting. I do like the new update with it defaulting to the planner instead of the general information. But you should be able to adjust schedules in context - that is the advantage of the project view in your design. Leverage it further. 5. Values shown exceed fixed amounts, should show effective hourly rate instead of “value earned” as hourly add-up of time. Or an option that payroll will exceed budget with the value earned calculation you are using. Problem is, even the “fixed” budgets add up this way in the dashboard which does not accurately portray for flat fee projects. Could have more options in this manner for employee pay as well. Some projects are flat fees for freelancers you hire, etc. 6. When invoicing, adding hours to the invoice does not provide any options for knowing what is previously billed. You must manually look back at each invoice to determine what is new billable hours. Extra steps are more time consu

I am not solving any business problems through Monograph. I just use it daily to track time, create invoices, maybe track projects.

I can track my time per project and create invoices from it which is my primary use. The format of the software is simple and easy to read and mostly navigate.

You cannot customize the invoice - the default invoice format is also quite large; I'm surprised that this was designed by architects and not customizable. It doesn't quite make sense about how to track budgets and time in the project setup so I have not used it as much. It's not as flexible either if your project is very flexible and not as rigid (hourly, open ended, etc). Customer service is kind of hit or miss; it takes a few days for a response and then at one point, I had to schedule a zoom call appt just to answer a question that could have taken a few minutes to properly answer (they could not clearly answer my question in a chatbox). They say they are a project management software company and not an accounting company which I understand, but time is always tied to money in an architectural software tracking projects. So the fact that I cannot really look back and report on invoice tracking (YTD, MTD, etc.) and estimates and whatnot, seems counterproductive to me. I was told to use another software program to do all my accounting. I was initially looking for a one stop shop to provide all my needs as a working designer/architect. The other programs I've looked into also fall short so it is what it is.

We're honestly just getting started, but the company seems very approachable and open to building in features as required. I like the flexibility and nimbleness that they're offering. It's an EASY to understand interface as well.. and that's just the BEST.

I was really looking for a time tracking and project management tool for our Architects and PM's to be able to actively see how their hours are tracking against contract budgets. Every month, we were using exported xls spreadsheets to review time already spent - and every month, I'd notice that we'd be coming up short on projects. Their "money gantt" feature allows all employees to see how they're tracking on project's profitability in real-time. It's a great tool for both employees and employers to keep everyone on track.

It's young... meaning that some of the features are still being implemented and developed. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. New features are coming fast. Integration of customer feedback seems to happen quickly.

Great! So very helpful and easy for my small architecture firm to implement and my staff to use. It keeps everyone abreast of each projects schedule, budget and expenses. The schedule Gannt Chart graphic is awesome. Readily shows our progress, our expenditures and milestones.

So easy right out of the box for our architecture firm. All the phases, schedules and budgets are prepopulated, just a little editing is needed and you're on your way. It's nice to see Monograph taking our comments and pumping up new and improved features on a regular basis.

Invariably, our accountants need to use Quickbooks. Which is forcing us to still have QBO. The interface and synchronization between Monograph and QBO is lacking. For one, the invoice numbers get lost and have to be manually checked and plugged into QBO after the fact. A real pain if not done right away. Also, the connection to Quickbooks is lost ever day, which I almost always don't notice until I am at the end of an invoice and have to back out, force the connection and then go back into the invoice to send to QBO. Would be nice to have the connection constant or be able to update it straight from an invoice when we would send data to QBO. Also, if QBO doesn't have the client or project, it won't send the invoice data. Which is less than helpful. Lots of manual back data needed to push a new client, invoice to QBO. Way too much.

Overall, Monograph is powerful partner that we are happy to use on a daily basis

Creates an overall simplified and centralized means of tracking, recording, and achieving project(s) and company needs.

There are several tools and features of which could be tuned for easier more intuitive use by all. For example, the time tracker. It is often abandoned because of this, yet, holds great potential to not only do its' surface value job, but, as well keep employees more consistent with their hours of work and how that is being applied to projects or internal office activities. This would additionally alleviate stress and anxiety (for all admin and employees) related to submitting timesheets when they are due and accurately.

Overall, we have been very happy with the implementation of Monograph and the improvements they have been making. We look forward to continuing to use Monograph to help us have a better understanding of our status on all our projects.

Monograph is great for getting a quick overview of projects and team assignments. The development team has been making significant improvements even in the short time we have been using it. Planning projects is straight foward and the tracking time and money against budgets is super helpful.

The task management needs a lot of work still. It is clunky and not very user friendly. There is also no easy way to budget for expenses on a project that are not tied directly to an employee's time.

It's been a great experience so far with extremely responsive, friendly and supportive staff

Ease of use Amazing customer service and support

Invoices are not "Australia friendly" (i.e. cannot add a GST compnonent)

The visualization of the information makes this somewhat intuitive.

Wish tasks were better broken down in smaller elements to track better time per tasks.

Love how easy and user friendly Monograph is. It has the features that we need without the frills and complications of other softwares. The team at Monograph has been so helpful and the access to all their articles has been a huge benefit.

There are a couple features that I wish Monograph had, like batch AR reporting and a setting to create an invoice template, but hopefully these are features that can be added soon.

Overall, the software has been pretty intuitive. Their seems to be less of a daunting learning curve with Monograph compared to other project management software. Itsgreat that the software is architecture specific.

The software does what I need it to do. It provides a good overview of my projects, as well as helps keep track of time and budget

I don't like that the week on the timesheets is weird. It starts on Monday and ends Sunday, and there is no way to change it. I let them know about it and they said its on their list for future improvements, so that's good.

Monograph has been a great experience although migrating our projects over was a longer, less streamlined process than anticipated.

Love that this software is structured around architectural projects. We can manipulate project plans, our fees and staffing accurately thanks to this!

Task management and detailed project schedules could be further developed.

The people at Monograph have been exceptional to work with. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] in sales was incredibly patient and spent so much time helping us determine if this software would truly work for us without pressuring or upselling. They're incredibly receptive to suggestions for changes and I've already seen them roll out improvements - the software keeps getting better!

Full disclaimer: I am an administrator who was not trained in architecture, so learning what my firm needed to streamline its project management and personnel operations was a challenge. The fact that Monograph is custom built for the quirks of the architecture industry is really invaluable. This, plus it is intuitive enough for a non-industry professional like me to learn the ropes quickly. As we roll out Monograph, we will be able to consolidate so many extraneous processes and tracking spreadsheets - I anticipate it will make our workflow much more efficient.

There are some reports we're accustomed to creating that are not yet features in Monograph, so we'll still need to do some legwork outside of the software to track certain data. Until consultant fees are tracked against the overall percent-complete progress of each project, we won't be able to use Monograph invoices or reports to share with clients as part of our monthly billing package.
