Purpose built for the A\&E industry with work flow to match. The team is responsive and reachable. The team continues to build the software. > > **Cons**: Not fully built out for multiple service companies. Software is still a little clunky and feels somewhat startup. They have check all the features boxes but not implemented in the best way possible yet. We have seen improvements along the way but are missing a development schedule for feature requests. > > We really like Monograph and have full confidence that the monograph team will continue to build this software and refine to become and indispensable tool for us. ----- ### "Equal Pros/Cons" — 3.0/5 > **Lauren** | *14 February 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the approachable user interface, the project timelines visuals, and the catering to the architecture business. I like the invoicing now because it shows percent complete and is way better. The cost is ok for me a sole practitioner, but not ideal for growing. > > **Cons**: I hate that is an online app, and not a desktop app. The online app seems to have trouble syncing quickly, and signing out and signing in is annoying, and constantly reconnecting to quickbooks is annoying. I also don't like that there is no mobile app. This would be helpful for just checking on things remotely, as well as time tracking while on the job site (like Geofency app which helps you track time and associated gps locationg). Lastly, it seems like the Resources area resets everytime you are there, so if you customize a schedule for the week, and then get out of the resources page it resets, so you have no record of your plan again throughout the week. My work around right now is to screen shot it, but that is inconvenient / absurd at best. It would be ideal to be able to keep it current always, update your customized plan as the week goes on, and even print the plan as necessary. ----- ### "Monograph is Great\!" — 4.0/5 > **Cynthia** | *11 April 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the layout and color options. It is visually pleasing to start, and pretty easy to use once you get acquainted with the program. Easy for all staff to use, and helps us manage our time better. > > **Cons**: Project reports and employee performance reports could be better and easier to read. We have some discrepancies when it comes to profit and loss, so we refer to our QuickBooks online for that information. > > I love Monograph and would recommend to anyone in the field. I think it is pretty user friendly and easy to understand where project status and finances stand. The color coding and layout of the Gant sheet is great\! Invoicing is a breeze as well as timesheet management. ----- ### "Great software and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Daphne** | *11 April 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very user friendly and easy to learn how to use. It does not take much time to onboard new employees. It's staffing/scheduling feature is great too. > > **Cons**: I would like to see more metrics for each project. Namely profit margin, as the numbers I see under the profit margin for each project seem way off. It would be nice to understand how those numbers are calculated. It would also be nice if Monograph could provide a cost rate for each employee. I would also like to be able to enter PTO time available to each employee, which would also help provide a better picture of their cost rate and therefore the profit margin on projects. It would also be nice to be able to see at what pace we are consuming the fee for projects, and how we should alter staff hours accordingly. > > Very positive, and although there is plenty of room for improvement, I do notice that there are often new features being introduced, which I greatly appreciate. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/222142/monograph?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/222142/monograph) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
