### "We like Monograph"

April 16, 2021

4.0

The Monograph team is incredibly receptive to feedback and is truly interested in helping their clients succeed.

Pros

This software is fairly easy to implement and use. We appreciate that it allows us to track time for jobs. The Gantt charts are very helpful to planning our work.

Cons

The invoicing feature needs a lot of improvement. It would be nice to be able to see how much you're likely to be able to invoice each month, based on the contracts and the hours spent on each job. It would also be nice if the invoicing feature could total the amount invoiced as you create invoices. I understand that there are some updates planned soon that should address these issues, though.

We were frustrated with the lack of support we received from the Squava team. They actually told us that they had clients with much bigger firms and they'd cater their updates to them. We were small fry for them and they made that clear to us whenever we had complaints or suggestions.

### "Not 100% there yet, but headed in the right direction. "

March 23, 2022

3.0

I think Monograph is headed in the right direction. There are a lot of little things that need sorting out still but the team is very responsive to "wish list" items. They're well funded and so will be required by their investors to level up.

Pros

I think of Monograph as handling the ACCRUAL side of my accounting system, pushing data to Quickbooks. My bank pushes CASH accounting to Quickbooks. This makes it all pretty clean. My bookkeeper is of the opinion that it should all work quite well come tax time.

Cons

Some elements of the software do what they're supposed to do but could be more elegant. They seem to be working on tightening these things up.

Reason for choosing Monograph

They're not a dinosaur pretending to be relevant but a new group attempting to build things correctly from the start. I like that.

### "End User Review"

February 8, 2022

4.0

I am a fan so far. It is very intuitive and graphically pleasing.

Pros

Graphic Quality makes it enjoyable and it is very intuitive from day 1. You almost need no training!

Cons

I want to stop/start all projects, not just one as I change throughout the day. If I can do that online and in an app, i will be SO much better about accurate time tracking

### "What Asana and Monday can't do, Monograph certainly can."

February 10, 2022

5.0

Really easy to use and implement in our office.

Pros

UI and layout. The ability to easily see what people are working on or who needs a task.

Cons

I really don't have complaints. Maybe more phasing and forecasting of projects?

### "suulin architects review"

March 26, 2024

4.0

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.

March 21, 2022

5.0

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

Pros

Ease of use Amazing customer service and support

Cons

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

April 5, 2024

5.0

Pros

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

Cons

The task creation. I just prefer something more flexible

### "Monograph is getting there - great customer service and caters to design professionals"

February 8, 2022

4.0

We can keep more accurate time, we can more easily see projections for billings, and we can more easily balance work load.

Pros

I like the scheduling feature the best so I can see how workload is being divided in the office and what our capacity is.

Cons

Not sure - still getting to know it and nothing really bugs me yet. I do not like when you have to change team members on a project that you have to change each phase...

### "Growing with a new Product"

September 8, 2020

4.0

We have been growing with monograph over the past year. We selected the software for the potential and promise it has and realize that it is developing and growing along with our own young firm. The Monograph team is responsive and personal. The time change does cause some frustration when we a looking for solutions and need to wait hours before questions are even reviewed.

Pros

The program is easy to use and is not complicated to look at. It is great for information at a glance.

Cons

There are bugs that pop up from time to time on specific projects needing help from the Monograph team to work out. I wish there was better toggle features to allow you to switch projects or team members instead of exiting the specific screen to a general one to pick a new project or team member. I look forward to more reporting options, better features with the planner, and hopefully additional project projection info so that when planning staff and project pipelines, that we can show information to make better decisions while it not being permanent.

### "Makes Time Tracking Easy"

April 16, 2021

5.0

Pros

Monograph is the easiest software I've used to track time in the design field. I've worked in companies that use spreadsheets, clunky programs, and even in firms that tried to create their own timekeeping software. This is simple, intuitive, and easy to use. I would highly recommend it!

Cons

I wish that the software did a better job of totaling the amount of different non-billable (admin) hours so that you could easily see the amount of billable to non-billable work for the week.

### "Loving this as a tool for empowering a small architecture firm"

March 11, 2022

5.0

Great CS, great product, game changer!

Pros

The ability to get visual reports on income projections and customize the reports based on firm leadership needs is tremendous! A one stop shop for invoicing and project management and time tracking that incentivizes users to work quickly and efficiently. This helps bring down the veil around architectural fee and help admins see the importance of budget awareness. Bravo!

Cons

Would be nice if invoicing were more integrated (didn't have to download / send in email) and if the GANT charts (Projects Panel) could be dragged as opposed to changing date fields manually. Otherwise great!

March 15, 2022

5.0

First time using this with this company and it is so much easier to keep track of my time and hours. Far better than any time tracking software used in the past.

Pros

Being able to track projects I am on and seeing how much time I have consumed is an amazing feature. Like being able to see the time data broke down between all projects and just having more insight on every projects time management.

Cons

Notifications can be a little better for helping getting important messages across.

### "Switching to Monograph"

October 22, 2020

5.0

The Monograph team is very supportive and transparent. We haven't been using it that long, but find it very easy to navigate and love the visual impact and features.

Pros

After researching many project management software tools, we decided to switch to Monograph.io because of the money gantt, user friendly interface, and extensive features.

Cons

The 10-day trial period could be a bit longer, as you don't always have the time up-front to delve into everything, and the only way you can subscribe is during the trial period. The decision to switch from a program you are using takes time and feedback from everyone on the team. This doesn't always happen when you are comparing other options and are trying to get daily work done as well. Doesn't integrate (yet) with Quickbooks Desktop.

Reason for choosing Monograph

See above- feel the price is well worth the features and love that is was designed specifically for the architecture industry. Other project management projects were geared more towards marketing services, which we could have made work, but why when Monograph was about the same price?

### "Very Good Interface / Needs Minor Tweaks"

April 16, 2021

4.0

My overall experience has been very positive.

Pros

This software is very easy to use and requires little to no learning curve if you are already familiar with basic computer use. I like the way that the pages are setup, very intuitive and functional. They are also pretty aesthetically pleasing as well, so that's a huge bonus in my book. As well, the software was fairly easy to integrate in to my existing work routine due to it's ease of use.

Cons

Since I am a user, and not someone who creates tasks, it is sometimes difficult for me to organize my own workflow. I would like the option to add projects or at least to propose additions for review and then perhaps my supervisor can chose to accept or decline them. As well, there is no easy way to track reimbursables per project. For example, gas and mileage per project. Lastly, the export of timesheets isn't very well formatted. Each export is an Excel spreadsheet, which is good, but then you have to go through and manually arrange columns/rows to make it legible. These are all, in my opinion, minor issues that aren't detrimental to my use of Monograph. However, it would be great to have an even more streamlined platform.

### "Project Management Designed for Designers"

August 27, 2018

5.0

Only a few months in and Monograph has become essential to the way we practice. It's a platform that you love because it does what it does well and lets you get back to doing what you do. In the design environment it feels great to have a project management tool that doesn't infringe on your work-vibes. Excited to see how it evolves and grows.

Pros

Within minutes we had customized all of the inputs around our operational needs and had a handful of projects up and running in no time. The clean graphic interface and underlying project management logics of Monograph made the experience smooth and the overall process was painless. The dev team was right there to answer any questions we had and listened to our quirky requests for future features.

Cons

No complaints that hindered Monograph's usability for what we need. In the future, we wish there were some non-traditional project cost management tools and that there were tools to set and track goals.

February 28, 2022

Very positive. Has increased productivity and will continue to use as a key part of my business

Pros

The targeting of the architecture market in terms of project management software, a lot of other task tracking and scheduling softwares are not as specific. Pay and go product. Good insight into its development. Looking forward to it deveolping.

Cons

UX could possibly do with a facelift, some slightly hidden features, would like if the project templates could include set task lists for each stage.

April 16, 2021

Our firm is able to track hours, client fees, project schedules, and much more with this resource much more accurately than we used it. It has saved us time!

Pros

Timesheets and Resource Planner are what I use most frequently. It helps keep the team organized throughout the week and helps us track fees and timeline much better than we used to.

Cons

There are still resources I have yet to learn about so the parts about Monograph that I do not use feel a little overwhelming.
