    Pros
    In this software I really liked its pleasant design and its simplicity, and it is also easy to use and administer.
    Some of the great features you can enjoy using these apps are Goals, reviews, surveys, training and etc. Another superb plus point is users can integrate the mailboxes, including outlook.
    I'm super satisfied, Factorial cover everything we need for our HR processes and we can save a lot of time by not doing manual tasks.
    Cons
    We use to make the payrolls with a company and for me this process was terrible, was that time of the month when i really not wanted to be on.
    I ran into occasional lag in the interface which can be frustrating when I need to get a task done quickly. Also, the performance reviews section could be more robust.
    I think it is necessary to find another way to control attendance, either by synchronizing with a work tool to avoid forgetting to record worker attendance.

    A great solution SMO

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    GREAT! You need to improve customer services / services desk sometime tickets get loss.

    Pros

    the UX/ UI, how easy is to start with setting and documents to be uploaded.

    Cons

    When a release is done, we experience several bugs and then we need to figure our what happens. Time tracking, we can't add different work schedules, besides 40-20 hours, e.g. we don't have m-t full day and Friday half day. Signature process som time is quite complicated, I know all this things are a work in progress, and so far I really like / love your solution!

    All hr information Conected in one platform

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    for me it is a great HR Platform, because you can manage everything in one tool! even if you are from the HR Department, or an user (employee) that self manage their neccesities.

    Pros

    it's easy to use. to ask for a free day it's quick, because your manager receive an alert to be approved or denied, you can control the schedules of all the employees, vacations, the exact hours an employee has worked. Also, all the information of all the employees in one hand.

    Cons

    I think it is necessary to find another way to control attendance, either by synchronizing with a work tool to avoid forgetting to record worker attendance. In my case, I had to set a daily alarm to remember to fill it.

    Good for a very small company

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    It's a free software so I guess it does just enough for companies that can't afford a more robust solution. That said, I don't think there's anything better for free.

    Pros

    Being able to easily upload pay stubs, work and birthday anniversary notifications on the feed. Ability to set up different time-off types.

    Cons

    - impossible to integrate with other apps. - reports are very very limited, which makes the process of salary reviews or any other kind of review very difficult and impractical. - impossible to pull historical reports - impossible to customise reports - managers can't easily see their direct reports unless you set up teams - the process of terminating an employee and "re-hiring" them in the future is clunky (tenure adds up and vacation time accrues)

    Terrible customer service

    Reviewed a year ago
    Pros

    A lot of features and options for HR management.

    Cons

    Factorial has a lot of features and options, however it is very hard to use and implement. The customer service is one of the worst I have ever encountered: they simply do not reply to anything. It was very hard to schedule a meeting with their sales team in order to get a proposal to start working with them. That was almost 3 months ago and I still did not receive the proposal. Also, they have good features, but it is hard to implement and start working, and since customer service is so bad, I'm not even sure how we'd set them up.

    Excellent Software

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    I'm super satisfied, Factorial cover everything we need for our HR processes and we can save a lot of time by not doing manual tasks.

    Pros

    All in one HR software, covering everything we need to manage our HR process. Easy time clock and time tracking, PTO, evaluation performance, documents, and digital signature.

    Cons

    It's easy to use and intuitive. Had to contact support to integrate with other APIs, but they were really helpful.
