I started using it three years ago and it is one of my favourites to setup for company employees. ----- ### "A holistic solution that makes HR work significantly more efficient." — 5.0/5 > **Gert** | *25 June 2025* | Fund-Raising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Factorial is very clear and structured. Especially for those in charge of the team. It significantly reduces operational effort, offers an efficient recruiting process, simple absence/attendance management and a clear employee overview. The recruiting process, in particular, is very well-designed. Factorial ensures optimal collaboration between the recruiting department and the teams. > > **Cons**: I have absolutely nothing to complain about with Factorial. It is a perfect 360° solution and a central solution for all people processes. > > Factorial gives us transparency and overview of recruiting processes at all times and allows us to seamlessly track employee development with interviews, feedback and all necessary data. ----- ### "Efficient HR self-service for engineering teams using Factorial" — 4.0/5 > **Estrella** | *25 August 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Requesting PTO and checking remaining holiday balances takes seconds. Securely accessing payslips and signing documents digitally keeps administrative overhead minimal. > > **Cons**: Occasional UI bugs pop up during self-assessments, and permissions feel restrictive when trying to view detailed squad setups. > > Factorial makes handling administrative requests effortless. It cuts down paper clutter, streamlines annual reviews, and lets me return to core coding quickly. ----- ### "Everything goes as long as it increases MRR" — 1.0/5 > **Francisco** | *30 September 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I always thought it was a fantastic all in one HR platform. It´s easy to use even if they have many tools, modules, etc. > > **Cons**: EVERYTHING goes as long as it increases the MRR of your already captive accounts, knowing that since implementation takes time, it’s not easy for clients to just leave, so you squeeze them, increasing prices and deprecating modules from their CORE solution. > > I’ve used Factorial at two different stages in two different companies. I’m talking about 2019 and even earlier, and now again in my new company. I was the driving force behind its implementation in both cases. So I think I know a thing or two about Factorial. In this latest stage, I was comparing them with other providers and everyone told me: it’s not what it costs now, it’s what they’ll make you pay later. And I get that. They apply aggressive discounts at the beginning and if they release new modules or features, if you want them, you pay the base price + extra. That’s part of the usual game. But what I had never seen until now—and what has deeply outraged me—is that they take one of the CORE modules, decisive in choosing the tool (such as payroll), and tell you that in 3 months they’re going to deprecate it. But not to worry, because they’ll launch a new payroll module outside the CORE, supposedly much better. And yet they don’t reduce the price of the CORE product, and the new pricing is an additional €2.5 per employee for this new payroll module. A SPECTACULAR MOVE in terms of upgrading, increasing unit price per account, you name it—but PATHETIC when it comes to the values it conveys. EVERYTHING goes as long as it increases the MRR of your already captive accounts, knowing that since implementation takes time, it’s not easy for clients to just leave, so you squeeze them. I need to think it over calmly and weigh the pros and cons after cooling down. I don’t know what final decision I’ll make, but what will definitely not go away is the pitiful image they’re giving, and how in the future I will think long and hard before considering them again—or recommending them to others in the industry. ----- ### "Great HRIS" — 5.0/5 > **Beatrice** | *3 August 2026* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great HRIS system to track items such as time off, overtime, documents, requests, and tasks to complete. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the site would not sync well with other time tracking tools like Float, so real-time accuracy for overtime hours was hard to deduce. > > Overall, the experience was easy and great for daily use. The format was modern and easy to understand. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/342325/factorial?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/342325/factorial) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
