"Functionpoint makes time entry easy for agency staff"

4/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

I keep FunctionPoint open all day, so I can track my hours without needing to look back at the past month and compare emails and calendars to try and account for my billable hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

The interface is a little clunky -- and I only use the weekly view to enter my time, which you have to click on a couple places to get to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible design"

0/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

I can't think of anything I like best about this program. From the start it is so clunky to work in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

The breadcrumb way of finding things is a bad design. You have to get out of windows to find something else. The design is hard to understand and I would enjoy being to see things clearer on the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not Perfect, But Better Than Most"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

Function Point is a bit more user friendly than many of the project management and time tracking tools that I've used in the past. The ability to create calendars and charts from a collection of projects is great. It's also nice to be able to track progress on a specific task or job in real time and know how close to completion it is. There's also some nice customizations available on the main dashboard on a per user basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

Some parts of the platform are a tad clunky. Sharing files isn't ideal beyond small images or documents. Collaboration within the tool also takes some getting used to (learning the difference between Notes, Comments, Briefs, Pinning to Dashboards, etc). It also does not integrate with our media system, which is a problem specific to us, but a frustration nonetheless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Function Point:

Be sure to give it a thorough vetting before you jump in. These tools have a very significant impact on how you run your business, and you'll want to be sure that it aligns well with your current processes and people. Get feedback and buy in from folks in the organization who might not be key decision makers, but who will be heavy users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Function Point solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're an internal agency and so we use Function Point to facilitate communication and project completion for our company from a marketing standpoint. It allows our Account Managers to enter project briefs so that our resource teams can receive the direction and begin working on the project. It also enables us to track time against each of those projects so that we can bill out work appropriately as well as organize the workloads of our team members.

"Organization!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Function Point:

If you're looking for an easy way to organize and assign tasks to the team, Function Point is the program to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Function Point solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to see how much time we put to different projects and tasks so we can appropriately bill specific clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FP has great customer service and really good training tools! Make the most of it."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

FunctionPoint is a really holistic approach to looking at your campaigns. It ties your revenue to employee productivity, allowing you to see where and why jobs go over/under budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

There are a lot of facets to FunctionPoint to explore and learn, making it overwhelming if you don't have the time for proper training. However, FP's representatives are wonderful and they provide a library of resources for learning. It's important to schedule enough training time with your employees so they feel comfortable in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Function Point:

Invest time in the training tools and really utilize your company rep. to get the most out of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good, robust software but difficult to learn."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Function Point?

We use Function Point for our ad agency and it is very robust software that encompasses many critical functions that we need to operate efficiently. Our most used feature is the estimate/invoicing functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Function Point?

It was really difficult to manipulate the software to do exactly what you needed. The time tracking, and task tracking functionality is not very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Function Point:

It is a good tool but does not have many integrations. If you decide to use function point take the time to invest in the training 110% it will definitely help mitigate the learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Function Point solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are time tracking more efficiently and making sure that all of our job requests are in the system so that they can be assigned to our designers and delegated properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
