Customer Support is fantastic and great for when you need help doing things in the software. > > **Cons**: The accounting software is difficult to use if you make mistakes and there are a lot of steps to undo and re-do transactions. > > Overall, I've had a positive experience with Foundations. The software does take some getting used to, especially as an accountant and coming from a software such as quickbooks but once you get the hang of it it comes along pretty easily. ----- ### "AllStar Glass" — 5.0/5 > **Jodi** | *March 10, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customer service availability, training and education. > > **Cons**: It can be a bit persnickety when it comes to connectivity. Seems to time out quickly if I am not consistently working in Foundation. That can be annoying. > > Love Foundation Soft for the job costing abilities, the PM module is wonderful and of course PR, AR and AP. The way everything works together is perfect. ----- ### "Foundation; Big Bang for the money" — 5.0/5 > **Kelly** | *August 3, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for money. Ease of use. Very user friendly even a new employee with little experience friendly. > > **Cons**: Newer products like SafetyHQ \& HRHQ don't sync well together. Wish new products utilize same data for users so there isn't any conflicts for users needing to access both. > > Foundation has been a great step up from our old software. The ease of transition was smooth. The continued offering of new products that integrate with Foundation to expand the ease of managing our company's data. ----- ### "Makes My Job Easier\!" — 4.0/5 > **Matt** | *September 21, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foundation has proven to be a very user friendly product. The customer service is by far the best I have encountered in a long time. These two points make Foundation worth the cost for the efficiencies it has brought. > > **Cons**: Lack of drill downs in all reports. I like the functionality of being able to drill down from P\&L and BS. ----- ### "MUCH TO IMPROVE" — 3.0/5 > **Tamra** | *August 31, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: TRACKING, WHEN I REACH OUT , MOST OF THE TIME I REC'D IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WITH QUALIFIED, PATIENT REP > > **Cons**: NOT USER FRIENDLY, NEED THE 'HELP' AVAILABLE WHEN ON A CERTAIN AREA FOR THAT EXACT AREA RATHER THAN HAVING TO GUESS AT WHAT FOUNDATION HAS THE TOPIC LISTED IN THE HELP. > > NOT SMOOTH, NOT EASY, HATE THE DIFFICULTY OR IMPOSSIBILITY TO MAKE CORRECTIONS WITHOUT 2 HRS TIME INVOLVED AND MOST OF THE TIME STILL CAN'T MAKE A SMOOTH CORRECTION ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
