Function Point Reviews & Product Details

I like that you can manage clients, team members, project estimates, jobs, tasks and timesheets all in one place. You can manage multiple roles and upload relevant files pertaining to the client/account. Having everything pertaining to billing in one place is essential for an agency of our size so that the project manager can manage roles, account managers can create jobs/projects/tasks and individuals can manage their task lists and timesheets.

I dislike the ability to collaborate with team members in the task functionality. The tasks are not clearly tied to project timelines and are not visible to the entire team. There is also not the ability to discuss tasks, answer questions and bring in additional team members to a discussion. That discussion must take place in another place and is not tied to the tasks, so you must update them separately and try to keep everyone in the loop with outside resources.

It's intuitive, easy to navigate, and has a very robust scheduling, estimating and reporting software. I love the FP Library and the (almost) Monthly Webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Two dislikes: 1) NO CTRL+Z and 2) zooming in and out in the Gantt View, the dependencies (link) become unresponsive which requires a refresh of t he page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that the dashboard is customizable to each user's needs. FP makes it easy to track each team member's utilization and project completion rates. Creating estimates in FP is a complete breeze. I love that all past and present client's estimates are all housed in one place for quick and easy reference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that the aesthetic of FP could improve. Overall, there is a bit of a dated look to FP - with the use of the dark grey and harsh lines. I like the customizable feature with the logo but would like to see more modern feel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point is fairly simple to learn how to use and works well once you are all set up. It did not take an extreme amount of time to get everyone set up and using the platform correctly, which was great. It really does help you stay organized when you have multiple tasks and projects to keep track of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would change about Function Point is that when you input time, it must be converted into tenths. We have charts that we use to convert, however it is just an additional step that would be nice to be deleted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think FP is an easy way to track time and works well for the accounting team who sets up the jobs and uses it from more of a billing perspective. We know we're not using it to the degree we could be and I've sat in a few webinars that were interesting but not enough to buy in from our larger team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I know it's also a project management tool but seems complex and less intuitive than other PM tools I've used. I wish we knew how to integrate with our other systems and from what I've heard it's an expensive tool for what we are currently using it for. If there are ways to integrate with our other tools and show the value with using function point we could get other team members to use more oftern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Function Point is that our entire team can access everybody's tasks and deadlines in one place. We are able to see how busy other team members are and add tasks to their schedule when needed. I love having all of my deadlines outlined for myself and my supervisor.

The training is very time intensive. Our team scheduled multiple training sessions to ensure that each user knew how to properly use the system because not every function is self-explanatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate that I can assign tasks to team members and be assigned tasks and then actually log my time to those tasks right there. It's so convenient! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not a fan of the work planning view, I wish it went more than a month out and was a little more visible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very good system for job number creation, timesheet tracking, and invoice management. It's easy to see all client details at a glance and track hours against jobs, as well as keep track of invoices pending and paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not great for project management. We do use it for this function, by sending Tasks to various team members, and it gets the job done, but it doesn't feel like project management is its primary functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Instant updates across all aspects of the job when new input is entered.

- the ability to enter numerous different types of information in relation to the specific job. Eg. once the job is created, all the details are there for future reference for the tasked designer. Virtually hands off after that initial input.

- sometimes 'clunky' navigation, especially trying to go back one step and having the previous page not how you left it.

- no automated warnings when getting close to quoted hours Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point is very easy to use. I am new to the agency world and I picked up this tool within a week for billing time and creating jobs per company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of dropdowns. I feel like this can be minimized and categorize under each job. Being new to the system, it's hard to remember what each drop down is used for per reporting for each client. I know this will get easier the more I use it but for now, there is a lot of going back to my notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
