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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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

La facilidad de uso y que resuelve los problemas de una forma muy efectiva

El mínimo de usuario es 10, por lo que si lo usas para 4 personas, pagas lo mismo.

Sus funcionalidades, facil manejo, y control.

Me gustan todas las funcionalidades, no tengo quejas.

Facilidad en la instalación y el uso, digitalización

Funcionalidades en desarrollo que nos obligan a mantener otras plataformas

La complicada gestión de ausencias, turnos, vacaciones, calendarios se convierten en procesos muy sencillos, tanto para el departamento de RRHH, responsables de departamento y los propios trabajadores.
Gestión siempre simple y adaptable a la forma de trabajar de la empresa. La gestión de múltiples oficinas con distintos calendarios es sencillísima.
Con muy poco esfuerzo de configuración la solución es operativa de forma casi inmediata.

Con el tiempo se han ido añadiendo funcionalidades para permitir una mayor granularidad en las ausencias, no siempre nos sirve un dia entero o medio dia, puede interesar gestionar por horas.
También nos hemos encontrado con la necesidad de crear permisos de paternidad/maternidad que se disfrutan a media jornada, no hay una forma de crearlos en bloque, así que acabamos marcando como ausencia a día completo.
Sería también interesante poder mostrar las solicitudes no aprobadas en el calendario de grupo de cara a poder coordinar peticiones de vacaciones en un equipo donde es necesario evitar que se solapen. Acabamos haciendo la gestión de no concurrencia de forma "manual" previamente fuera de la aplicación.

En Lola Market lo usamos para gestionar el calendario de vacaciones, para eso es perfecto! para el tracking del control horario y usarlo como sistema de performance reviews le queda trabajo por delante.

El tracking del control horario, se hace muy tosco tener que hacerlo día a día. Igual algún tipo de extensión para Sack o de navegador que te recuerde hacer el checkin en lugar de hacerlo entrando a la plataforma mejoraría el uso.

To be honest, they have improved a lot since the last time I used the platform.
Probably the part I liked the most was the Employee profile

The platform was not very estable when you have too many employees on it. But I used few years ago, I am sure that they have fixed a lot of the old issues

It looked and felt good overall. The user experience was ok and things were easy to find.

I really dislike the holiday view, specially in big companies. I much prefer BambooHR's calendar view with people's names on it.

Very easy to use, good UI/UX, very clear with permissions, easy to roll out.

Nothing to say here.

This software is great for getting HR setup and organized. It is easy to use and covers all of the basics and then some.

The one thing I would have liked is a page for Notes or personal remarks. Also a portion for performance reviews and/or appraisals.

It helps me to better organize my time with my day to day life.

I don't have anything like that that I like less.
