Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I like that I can manage all my employees and ensure they have access to digital pay stubs on time and correctly. The admin end of Foundation Software is easy to navigate and set up new users as we onboard them. The design of their website is easy to use and support is always available when needed. Cons There should be an Android and iPhone app. Currently, you have to log into the website on your phone through a browser. Password management sometimes can be difficult with a large user group because password changes and management are only done via email invite to the employee on an individual basis.		Pros from Real Users Pros The pros for Premier are instant invoice matching, faster workflow, real-time project insights, and better budget oversight. Premier keeps all project and accounting info in one place—easy to track progress and manage billing. Pros for Premier is real-time data, powerful dashboards, and live Excel integration streamline every project. Modern, flexible platform that adapts to unique workflows—unlike rigid, outdated alternatives I checked out. AI tools & automation save us time, and Premier’s support team is always super responsive and helpful. Premier has brought all our project and financial data into one place, making it easier to manage jobs, track costs, and streamline approvals. It’s helped reduce errors, improve accuracy, and give us real-time insights that benefit the whole company. Real-time data accessible to all employees, reliable information, and a simpler way to handle routine tasks Many benefits, but to highlight a few: easy access to project financials, flexible reporting options, and improved communication between accounting and operations. All-in-one system (project management, change management, accounting) and real-time access for project managers. The biggest pro for Premier is Financial Reporting and Project Management in one system. They also continuously update their software.
