Factorial reviews

What I like most about Factorial is obviously how user friendly it is for our employees, our team managers and ourselves as administrators. This is not only useful for organising fair time off for holidays but it also allows team members to check in on who and when fellow colleagues are here - therefore helping them plan projects etc. The social side: making visible different events on the dashboard such as team outings, birthdays, events etc..

How we currently are using Factorial, all the features are apt for us.

A lot of features and options for HR management.

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.

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

- 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)

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

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 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.

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

- It's really great place to engage with all employee plus to manage their track records & attendance. We can easily apply for leave application without writing big emails.
- you can have working schedules & employee profiles up to date
- you can manage payroll & holiday calendar + really useful place for survey

sometimes it takes ages to load but might be server connection issues

I like Factorial as it's a very simple and intuitive software. From the employee perspective, I think it's pretty valuable because all the documents are arranged in an orderly manner, and it's possible to upload files both from laptop and mobile devices. The dashboard gathers all the relevant information in one place so it's super easy to stay up to date with the events of the company.

I haven't tried yet the integration with LinkedIn because Factorial is currently working to release an update, and I am really curious to examine this aspect (as a marketing executive, it's important to me that I can link the two platforms in order to enhance employee engagement)

Cheap and very budget-friendly. ok for small headcount

I used the free version before they charged for the service. It was developed outside the UK (spain) so some parts weren't translated well. It wasn't able to handle shifts and varying patterns and was very basic.

Time tracking and Time off management
Easy to use

In the TASKS section when you create a form you can't decide the order of tasks

Payroll management feature and the payroll summary might be the best when using Factorial. Has great features and really easy to understand the whole points. Training a new comer employee with this product helps a lot as it can show every process step by step, which we loved.

Too simple and not fast enough when navigating.

Es un producto muy sencillo de utilizar. Cualquier usuario puede adaptarse rápidamente a su uso, y la configuración inicial, además de rápida, permite incluir bastantes detalles según la empresa.

La sección de informes deja mucho que desear. Por un lado, da la impresión de que toma mal los datos, por lo que los títulos predeterminados no coinciden con la información presentada en los gráficos. Al mismo tiempo, al exportar la información, podría ser interesante exportarla como informe de pdf incluyendo los gráficos elegidos, no como una hoja de Excel con la información usada para hacer el gráfico, lo cual encuentro con poco sentido, dado el objetivo del software.

También estaría bien crear vínculos con el calendario de Outlook.

El diseño del Portal, la parrilla de eventos, las notificaciones de cumpleaños, el control horario, la gestión ausencias y además la nueva aplicación de gastos genera muchas expectativas por el ahorro de tiempo de todos.

Los informes son difíciles de manejar y no son nada amigables, voy a dar una idea, mi propuesta es realizar una integración con productos de terceros como el Qlik o PBI.

Tan sólo llevo un mes utilizando este software, ya que estaba implementado en mi empresa cuando llegué. Siendo del departamento de Recursos Humanos, agradezco poder centralizar todo lo relacionado en un mismo punto. Todavía me quedan explorar las diferentes áreas y herramientas que ofrece Factorial (pero me he apuntado a la newsletter y estoy utilizando vuestros recursos gratuitos también). A nivel de imputación de tiempos, no es la herramienta principal que utilizamos, pero creo que estaría muy bien poder centralizarlo todo en un mismo sitio y no tener tantas apps distintas para llevar lo de los tiempos. Todavía no he probado la integración con Workable, pero sólo saberlo ya es un plus.

La parte del organigrama creo que podría diseñarse mejor o tener opciones para poder diseñarla según la estructura de cada empresa (desconozco si ya se puede hacer y yo no lo sé). Sería muy chulo poder tener un apartado de WHO IS WHO en el que todos los empleados pudieran acceder para conocer a las nuevas incorporaciones y a los veteranos. Como una ficha con una foto en la que agregar una mini bio sobre lo que le gusta a la persona. Así es más fácil poner caras, conocer equipos, y generar conexiones. Especialmente con equipos que trabajan en remoto.

Piattaforma molto intuitiva, ti permette di automatizzare la gestione del personale e quella delle timbrature.Ho apprezzato molto anche le statistiche di assenteismo, di ore lavorate e di ore ferie che si creano automaticamente.

Forse il sofware (che consente anche la timbratura attraverso app e riconoscimento facciale) può risultare difficile da gestire in caso di operai ritrosi al cambiamento.Fanno base in Spagna, per eventuali formazioni è tutto da gestire in remoto.

Me gusta mucho lo fácil que es de utilizar, me parece muy util la opción de colgar documentos y solicitar firmas.

Algunos errores que da a veces, pero que se solventan bien.

Une appli simple à utiliser et pratique pour automatiser certaines taches. Pour ceux qui recrutent assez souvent le logiciel est très utile pour gérer toutes ce qui est relative aux ressources humaines grâce à des fonctionnalités intéressantes.

Pour ma part, il est assez difficile de trouver des défauts à cette application mais seulement souligner le fait qu'il pourrait être plus utile s'il était possible d'intégrer plus d'applications ou de logiciels. Néanmoins, concernant la tache pour laquelle il est créé, il est top.

Its simple and user-friendly UI is its USP. Also, it has a good leave tracking system.

Initially, this software didn't allow adding 2.5 days of leave into employees' accounts. But later they fixed it.

In this software I really appreciated its simplicity and its pleasant and aesthetic design it is easy to use and to administer

The customer service is not professional otherwise at the level of the software itself there is no problem

I really liked the ease of use of the software. You have many options and the configuration is more comfortable. There are some aspects to improve but in general the application is very positive.

The fact of not being able to play with the dashboard design. It is important to be able to maintain the corporate colors and designs and not just the logo.

easy to use and administer, you can find all the information about the employees, and free so it's good

The disadvantage I noticed is that the mobile version sometimes bugs

Easy to use and very complete for the necessary HR tasks.

The vacations days usage is only set to the american/english experience.
