Compare Function Point with other popular tools in the same category.
Easy to use and manage. Quite flexible. Limited technical or connection issues.
We have had some issues with the integration with quickbooks.
Comprehensive system for estimating, time tracking, expense tracking and invoicing. We have less dependency on our bookkeeper. Greater transparency into our project cost. Can share this transparency with our customers. Better estimates.
We like the user interface and how easily we can track our time to different projects.
When you set up a job/task that has predecessors it let parts further down the list start before the tasks before it are complete.
The program keeps up more on task as well as our time management and accountability have gone up. Also we can tell when anyone's plate is too full.
Having financial data integrate easily with QuickBooks
Inability to modify template designs easily
SOLVING - Need to simplify project management and billing BENEFITS - Streamlined single-portal tool for client projects and billing
Ease of use, ability to access from anywhere
UI sometimes isn't ideal, have to click through more screens sometimes to find the info that i need.
Organization and project managment
The integration with Quickbooks and the invoicing capabilities. It is a lot easier than what we used to use
How I am unable to pull a time sheet report that i can use with out any fuss.
We have solved our internal time tracking system and the staff finds this much easier, we also realize that we have been able to invoice for more of our time than we had before using function point.
Ease of job opening and estimating of jobs.
Many more features available than I have had the time to learn.
Timekeeping issues have been virtually eliminated. Project estimating is being done on a consistent basis, and real time is being accurately tracked against estimated time.
The training was excellent! The FP team was patient and able to "adapt" to our quirky requirements.
That it isn't very customizable. No API is a real challenge. We have data that we are unable to retrieve for our purposes. We are willing to pay for customization - but FP doesn't offer customization. Very disappointing.
Allowed us to centralize our systems. Nice that we are now all working off the same set of information. (We were working in a maze of excel spreadsheets before.)
Customized for marketing organizations/projects All items are in one place Web-based
Would like more custom reports Think order of navigation isn't intuitive/project order There doesn't seem to be a ton of upgrades over the years
Time tracking Invoices Project Briefs One location for project detail Manage projects to budget by real time costs
I like the design. It is well laid out and functional.
I feel that it is a bit difficult to change formatting of forms or reports. Not easy to find the location where you can make changes.
Function point helps to streamline and keep track of jobs. It is where we create our estimates and follow the job to completion and invoicing.
Web based application means I can access it anywhere. Simple user interface.
Site is not mobile responsive. Some of the fields are not customizable (ie. Lead Consultant, Lead Creative).
Effectively managing our business development, timesheet and billing.
