Function Point Reviews & Product Details

The billable section that lets me know how much time I have spent that has generated money for my company

Unaware of all the ways the software is useful

How billable we need to be each week!

It's an easy to use dashboard, with shortcuts that are extremely convenient

you can't enter timesheets for an invoiced job

tracking estimated vs actual hours; tracking work history of a project; turnkey project estimating

I like the dashboard and how you can personalize it with features you use most, such as pinned notes.

I dislike that you can only input timesheets for the past 2 weeks using the dashboard's timesheet functionality, so I usually have to go into Weekly View.

Finance is easy to track and keep on record, as well as processing jobs and organizing creative.

The ease of use and accessibility. (Love the dashboard feature)

Constant logging in and out (randomly signs me out)

We run the bulk of our processes through FP and it benefits us in terms of organization and accessibility for different departments throughout the business. Keeps everyone on the same page.

Function Point is very user friendly and it is great to be able to track everything in one place.

There is nothing that I dislike about Function Point

Everything is in one place, job estimates, details and then invoicing

There are multiple ways to analyze work!

Wish there were more options to manage columns.

The entire team is tracking time more accurately as we work toward team efficiency.

Solid platform, never hangs up or runs slow; easy to use multiple time sheets simultaneously.

Almost too many features, sometimes multiple paths to the same destination - this can be confusing.

Improved time capture with time sheets; more efficient estimating/invoicing - especially when using prior estimates as templates.

Function Point's Quickbooks Integration is one of the main reasons we chose to go with Function Point. It has been very helpful for our client services and accounting teams when exporting and sending invoices. Although it's not perfect, Function Point's integration with our accounting software makes our invoice delivery system much easier.

We are not aware of other integrations that Function Point offers for other software systems that we use, such as Slack, Google Calendar, Grow, Fathom, DocuSign/Adobe Sign, etc. Also, the reporting feature is under-utilized by our users because some reports require a program that can read XML files. Upgrading and adding new features would make FP even better, and because we've seen the software evolve, we wouldn't be surprised if new features are already in the works.

The business problems that Function Point solves for us is the ability to keep track of our professional services in one place. We've realized many benefits over the last year, such as seeing Function Point constantly improving the platform, giving users multiple opportunities to learn and interact through regular webinars, and having a fast and responsive support team.

We like that it seems to be designed by people who understand our business and what we need to get our jobs completed. I've used other software such as Clients and Profits, Advantage, Workamajig but those seem to be designed with the agency's finance department primarily in mind (guessing because the office manager is often the decision maker in purchasing these software) with project management very secondary. This is the opposite....the project management is very intuitive and easy to use and with still robust financial insight into the health of your projects and campaign. The integration with Quickbooks Online is great, too.

While the notifications are robust, they're almost so robust that we end up getting several emails for one thing. We've learned to live with this, though, to ensure everyone who needs to know is in the know. Also wish it had an integrated media planning/buying component.

Project management, integration of our billing, project management tool and timekeeping so we have keen insight into how we should estimate. Great history from both a workflow and financial perspective on jobs. Smarter estimating.

Very easy to track time and monitor budgets.

Well, I'm not a huge fan of filling out time sheets in general but Function Point makes it easy.

Entering estimates into our projects so that all team members can watch the budget as the job progresses and make sure we are staying within it.

It's straight forward to use, the interface is very clear - i use it just to input how many hours I spend on each project during the week.

Time sheets can look unorganized at the end of the week and things start to look more cluttered.

We're able to accurately bill our time to clients and provide them with correct invoices at the end of contracts - something that's really useful when you have multiple people working on the same project.

I really like that fact that time is really easy to enter and to assign to a task or a project. Function Point makes keeping track super easy and seamlessly fits into my day so it doesn't take away from a busy schedule. I also like the fact that the app connects and allows me to enter my time directly from my phone.

I'm not sure there is anything i specifically dislike about using Function Point.

We keep track of our staff hours and use it also for reporting back to our source funders.

I like the ease of creating schedules and estimates and the ability to copy an existing project to reuse for another project. This saves tons of time and I can easily make tweaks as needed to accommodate any differences between the projects. Having the customizable proposal template has saved a lot of time and now enables other members of my team to create their own proposals to send to clients, rather than having me format each proposal individually before sending to a client.

Jumping back and forth between the estimate and the schedule seems a bit time consuming. I wish I could know the final numbers/pricing I'm working with on the schedule view. I often have to jump back and forth multiple times between the estimate and schedule to get my final numbers/pricing where I want them.

I'm better able to visually see where I am at during a project with the project overview. I can see where projects are taking more time/less time to better estimate for future projects. I can also be more ready to alert clients if I see projects are approaching budgets. Just being able to export proposals from this program has saved a lot of time. I'm able to get all the project/job details into FP, rather than having a physical or digital folder that holds the proposal, notes, expenses, etc., which in the past may get overlooked or be hard for everyone involved to access.

Function Point is a one stop show for most things. We are able to manage a lot internally within this platform, and there are a lot of capabilities to it.

Tome entry within the platform can take some considerable amount of time.

Helps us organize internally

We use Function Point to organize all of our tasks, clients, vendors and billing at our company. I like that you can put the amount of time to each task that you complete, assign tasks that you can't do to other people and see a weekly view of the times. I also like that it is easy to enter client and vendor information and create expense reports and purchase orders.

I don't like that Function Point calculates time by the 15 minute mark. So if you've completed something in between, you either have to round up or down.

We are able to see how much time we put to different projects and tasks so we can appropriately bill specific clients.
