Function Point Reviews & Product Details

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.

We moved to FP about a year ago and for us, access and organization of info were our key needs. FP delivers both with flying colors.

It can feel a bit cumbersome to have to move into edit mode every time something needs to be updated and then save, but I understand this just comes with the territory of a cloud based program. A working save button would be much appreciated.

We needed to be able to access our info from anywhere and now we can literally work from our phones if need be. We have also reduced our accounts workload by at least half in integrating our pm software with Quickbooks Online. YAY.

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.

Function Point is a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate program.

I currently can't think of anything I dislike about this software. We don't use some of the functions offered, but it doesn't hinder our productivity.

We are able to track our time, create expenses/purchase orders, create invoices, open new jobs, run reports... all very easily. All of our employees are comfortable using the program based on their respective permission sets because it's a fairly intuitive program. And even if we don't know how to do something at the moment, the support documents available usually gives us the answers we need. Also, we enjoy the fact that we can access it anywhere. Our previous accounting software did not allow us to do that. We had to be on site to do any of the things we can do with Function Point. And last but not least, the help desk responds very quickly when I submit an error or bug or question.

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.

A complete project and business management system that gives my small company the tools needed to estimate, schedule, track and manage projects, employees, freelancers, and vendors. At a single glance, I can determine the status for every job, what each person is working on, costs verses estimates. Most importantly, I am able to easily determine when a project will be out of scope and address this with the client BEFORE hand, rather than after the fact. It also provides a historical reference for estimating and scheduling new projects, or information about a client job we did 5 years ago. With Function Point, we can handle more projects that other sized firms.

I cannot think of any key dislike. More differentiation of items on the calendar would be helpful, that is a minor thing

They key issue solved was knowing exactly where every day we are on project costs. If you have 3-4 people working on a project, you can burn through a lot of time quickly. Seeing where you are each day helps to keep on budget and on schedule. Our buyouts are easily tracked in FP and exported to QuickBooks by our bookkeeper.

Weekly view and option to add hours after

I feel that this time tracker is a bit useless for my needs

Mainly keeping track of dockets and hours.

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.
