The recurring weekly training webinars are also very helpful, and I find myself going back to sit through them every few months or so just to get a refresh. While we haven't maximized all the features of Factor, we have seen improvement in our overall task and project management. From a Finance/Accounting perspective, we are now able to breakdown our fees vs subconsultant fees, and manage expenses more efficiently. The instant-sync to Quickbooks makes our lives easier and keeps the data moving efficiently as well. > > **Cons**: There are many reports available, however, some of the timeline reports are not editable and the print-out version isn't the best (to present to clients). It would also be nice to see historical Invoicing details, broken down by Phase - currently, we've been printing (to PDF) each invoice screen as we go through our monthly invoicing, just so we can refer to them at a later date. One other area that we struggle with is the Reimbursable Expenses - when our team enters an expense in Factor, we can bill it to the client seamlessly, however, that expense also needs to make it into Quickbooks. If we enter it into Quickbooks, then the expense re-registers under the project, causing a duplication of reimbursable expenses tracked under the project. (Our workaround is to ask employees NOT to enter any expenses in Factor, instead, submitting them to Accounting to be entered once through Quickbooks, then pulled into Factor). > > Overall, we've been very happy with Factor, and look forward to maximizing the use of this tool. We understand that it's a relatively "young" software and there will be ongoing growth and changes as the platform matures. The great service that the Factor team provides is very helpful in allowing us to feel supported through any changes, and gives us the confidence that our questions or needs are being heard. ----- ### "Excellent Product" — 5.0/5 > **Krys** | *March 24, 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: First of all, the customer support is incredible. We were really nervous about switching over to Factor AE but the team made it so easy. They helped us create custom reports; we had multiple zoom meetings to make sure we had a full understanding of everything. The software itself is amazing. All of our staff is happy with it; data is easy to access and interpret. The time entry is so easy and accessible and the information available on the status of the projects is fantastic. Project managers are able to manage the staff assignments to each project and collaborate easily. We compared a few different options of software for engineering and Factor AE is one of the best priced options available. Great value for money. > > **Cons**: Factor AE has actually been able to figure ways of getting through most of our hurdles. The one problem we seem to have is invoicing two different companies on the same project without a bit of difficulty. The only other thing would be the inability to apply multiple payments (on different dates) to one invoice. > > Overall we would highly recommend Factor AE to anyone. Right from the start, we have had a truly positive experience. ----- ### "Ti Studios - Factor Review" — 5.0/5 > **Shawn** | *March 12, 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy time tracking and project invoicing as well as ability to quickly review project profitability. being able to see all this in one place instead of multipleprograms is very easy. > > **Cons**: would be nice to import a MS Project Schedule as diffuclt to make and keep schedules updated, ability to organize the CRM opperuntiies in A to Z order or 1 - 10 for example. > > Very happy we switched to this system and have recommened to multiple other firms. made my life as the director of operations to track our KPIs much simpler ----- ### "Simple and Effective Project Management Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *March 12, 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Factor AE has been really helpful for organizing our projects and keeping track of proposals, billing, and project phases all in one place. It’s made it much easier to see where each job is at and stay on top of tasks across the team. The opportunity tracking and invoicing features are especially useful for our workflow. > > **Cons**: Some areas of the interface can take a bit of time to get used to, and certain features aren’t always obvious when you first start using the platform. It would be helpful if a few workflows were a bit more streamlined or had clearer setup options. > > Overall our experience with Factor AE has been very positive. It has helped us keep projects organized, track proposals and billing, and manage our workflow more efficiently. Once everything is set up, it becomes a really useful tool for keeping the whole team on the same page and managing multiple projects at once. ----- ### "FACTOR - You won't look back," — 5.0/5 > **Lukas** | *March 12, 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is lean but effective. It takes some experience to understand how it all links together, but once you get it, its so easy - and fast. > > **Cons**: There is nothing significant that I don't like. There are a number of small things that can improve, but the team seems to be invested in evolving the software, so expect we will see continued improvement over time. > > The experience has been really great, especially coming from the clunky software I was using before. The responsiveness of the support team really helps. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/199097/factor-ae?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/199097/factor-ae) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
