Function Point Reviews & Product Details

Function Point has allowed our creative agency to be agile, stay on tasks, and keep many balls in the air at a time. It has compiled all the data we need to run a busy studio and allowed our team members to stay attuned to the task a hand without direct leadership throughout the day. Prior to having a CRM tool keeping up with tasks was difficult and often required extensive communication between team members. No we are a well oil machine of knowing who is doing what and when. My staff would cry if I took Function Point away from them as they live and breath it everyday to follow their assigned tasks and budgeted time per task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point is so robust that many of the functions and abilities are not always used in the day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How complicated accessing jobs and estimates can be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point is extremely easy to use. The interface is intuitive for any level user. It has what we need without a lot of extras that we don't use. It's also cost effective for a small agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't a ton of customization so sometimes you have to be creative to work within the parameters on things like estimates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The option to have an individual jobs log under one project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of consistent searching. If there is a better way to implement per client keywords and only sort certain categories for easy of finding a specific job. It would also be helpful to omit certain keywords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to communicate so easily within the team is the software's greatest strength. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point has helped to streamline our budgeting process. Allowing our internal team members to have a direct link to see exactly the budget for their project. It also has helped to streamline our business office in terms of creating purchase orders, and overall managing individual project budgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point does not have the ability to create custom reports. So, when we have requested the pull certain data we have been told this isn't possible, even when we have offered to pay for the creation of a custom report. It also has been challenging from an agile work process perspective. My company creates custom software & films, and so we are often shifting workloads around to various internal resources - this has become quiet cumbersome to manage the constant shift of staffers. Additionally, the way the function point is set up we are unable to use the schedule feature as our schedules need to include all audits - and the scheduling feature currently only allows you to create a schedule based on 1 audit not multiple.

We love that we can see everything going on for that client and also how it ties into QB so easily. Invoicing was a nightmare as it used to be so manual. FP makes it more automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's complex, you have to really dig in and learn what is best for your agency. I think when an agency signs up that they should get in-person training for at least a full day and then 6 months after they use the system. That is really when the agency starts to learn how it will work best for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Function Point helps keep our projects on track and the schedule allows me to manage our workflow. I also like that I am able to customize different parts of Function Point to meet my company's needs. I appreciate that they are open to improvement and have even implemented one of my suggestions.

I often feel that I have to click too many times to get to certain parts of a job. For example, when I go to the schedule I lose the main job navigation and I am forced to backtrack. It would be nice if the job navigation remained. I also prefer the way clients see notes over how myself and the designers view them. It requires a lot of backtracking and clicking to view different notes.

It is hard to use on a mobile device. I wish they had an app or mobile friendly site for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
