I’ve had a great experience with Monograph so far. My onboarding process has taken a little longer, but that’s entirely on me as I’ve been working through getting all of our documentation and systems organized. The Monograph team has been incredibly patient, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire process—they’ve truly held my hand every step of the way.

Kenny has been amazing to work with, and I’ve been very happy with the onboarding experience. I especially love how easily Monograph integrates with QuickBooks and how streamlined the invoicing and project management options are.

I would absolutely choose Monograph again. The software is great, but the level of support throughout onboarding has made the experience even better. Yes, absolutely I feel like it is doing everything I need it to do, and I am getting the value out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The invoicing process is so much smoother with Monograph, and being able to staff projects into the future is helpful. Having project phase dates helps me with invoicing, and keeping track of employee time off is a big deal. I like the chat box because the AI can answer most of my questions, and if it can’t, someone from Monograph usually gets back to me pretty quickly. Monograph is reliable, has no downtime, and runs smoothly. I can count on it to do what I need when I need it, so I’m not constantly troubleshooting and I enjoy my job a lot more. The financials page gives me a helpful snapshot of a project, including how much we’ve invoiced and how much consultants have invoiced us. Setting up projects and budgets is simple and user-friendly, and the information I need is correct and right where I need it. Seeing phase dates under the budget also helps me in my role. The initial setup was really good; setting up the projects took a little time, but it was worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish Monograph had a way to track PTO differently, including an option to reset it on the hire date. Some filters are inconsistent: I can search by project number in the project screen, but other filters require the project name. I wish I could search by project number across the board.

Intuitive to use. We were able to transition our invoicing process from paper-based to fully digital within the software. Our onboarding contact was responsive and open to feedback. The integration with QBO, while not seamless, is streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are challenges in the way Monograph is set-up for subconsultants, specifically regarding assignment of consultant billings to project phases and tracking consultant invoice amounts that differ from fees charged to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The overall interface is very easy to navigate. Our office has opted to use the Grow subscription, which has a large number of features that we are actually using. There doesn't look to be extra "bells and whistles" just to present as additional features, they are actually applicable to our firm's everyday operations. Our firm has transitioned from a previous ERP software that was very cumbersome to operate, and in the 3 months that we have been utilizing the software, it has outperformed the previous software we had for 2 years. Our office can quickly assign, view, and review all aspects of our workload, which has been a crucial aspect to allow us to take on more work and keep it organized. The integrations with QuickBooks Online has allowed our principals to get a comprehensive visual picture of the firm's financial performance without the need to switch between programs.

While navigations is fairly intuitive, there are portions that can become slightly off-putting. For example, the need to go back and forth between different tabs can occur from time to time when scheduling new projects. There tends to be some slight difficulty in returning to the exact view previously shown if filters were set. Additionally, our office has a preference to review tangible prints and paper for certain things. As monograph is predominantly a digital tool, our scheduling meetings, and any impromptu project detail meetings now requires us to incorporate the use of the program on a shared screen, or in a conference room, rather than quickly at a desk. The ability to export some of the information would be helpful in these situtations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Monograph is a fantastic tool for my firm with its smart interface that makes data from timesheets really useful. I love its financial reports, especially when combined with timekeeping and the intuitive interface, which makes it truly unique. The Money Gantt chart is incredibly helpful for getting a quick glance to gauge the health of individual projects and phases. It's also great for project schedules and tracking with the milestone feature, and I find the pipeline feature for project leads very helpful in speeding up the estimating process. The onboarding process was simple and really helped us feel confident in using the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Monograph for only a short time, so we're still figuring things out as new users. One issue we've noticed is with adding historical data. It was kind of tricky when we switched from using it as a free consultant to a paid account. Specifically, there was a project we had already uploaded invoices for, and when we transitioned to a paid user, Monograph didn't recognize the amounts we had already invoiced. It got resolved eventually, but the process was a bit long and slowed down our initial invoicing for that project. I think it could definitely be a smoother process.

I really appreciate Monograph for its smooth onboarding process, which allowed us to get our team up and running with minimal disruption. The platform is intuitive and easy for my staff to adopt, particularly when it comes to timekeeping and project management. I'm looking forward to seeing how the reporting side of Monograph becomes increasingly valuable as our data grows. Our initial experience with invoicing was positive, and one of our clients specifically praised the clean and easy-to-read format of the new invoices. Additionally, the Monograph team has been responsive and knowledgeable, showing genuine interest in how our firm operates. Overall, I've been very pleased with Monograph and the people behind it, as it feels like a platform designed by those who understand the architecture firm's needs.

I wish there was greater flexibility in invoice customization. Architecture and engineering firms often have specific billing formats, especially for lump sum and percentage of construction cost contracts. It would be great to be able to select and arrange columns more freely, including items like phase, percent complete, previous billing, current billing, fee earned, and total fee, to better match what we use and what our clients are used to seeing.

Visuals + data collection. Allows us to make the best decisions for the firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel like I am not sure how the information is collected. Not sure what is included in some of the data points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is most helpful in Monograph is the ease in which you can set up a project. Their customer support is good as they always have tried to remedy any issues in a timely manner. Their product is adjustable in terms of how it looks more than other products of the same type. Transferring our data from the previous system to this one was pretty straight forward and was explained well. Help was always a call or an online chat away.

Some of the invoice customizing could be a little better but is still better than it's competitors. Right now there is no way to change the employee billing rates on a specific project if your project spans enough time where they would have changed. (multi year project).

I love that I can make a decision about micro bits of information related to future phases. Monograph integrates really well with QuickBooks online, which we work completely, exhaustively with. It gives me real-time evidence of how labor relates to contracts and fees and billing, allowing me to plan better for future projects and determine gaps in financial planning, team performance, and dynamics. The onboarding support from Malik has been wonderful and really, really helpful, tirelessly helping us onboard and answering complex questions both on a strategic macro scale and data entry micro scale.

I dislike that you can't turn the colors off; maybe I should just pick one and make all the projects the same color. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is really clean and modern. It is also not too difficult to navigate through the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects are not very intuitive, such as where to find certain buttons or the chat bubble blocking the "Next" button in some instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
