Function Point Reviews & Product Details

Function Point has dozens of useful features, but I would say I like the ability to quickly add time to any of my tasks in the Weekly Timesheet overview.

The user interface is a more bland version of an Excel spreadsheet. FP looks colorful on the outside, but it's black and gray on the inside with thin lines, small text, and lots of sharp corners.

Function Point allows my team to quickly add tasks, projects, track time, and keep an eye on the workload of each of our team members.

The ability to quickly add time sheets is helpful!

The lacking of customized features and sometimes cumbersome layout.

We are being more organized in planning and operating with the different projects scheduled.

Function point makes it easy for me to edit my hours, and the tasks also serve as my "to do" list. I also like that I am able to tell if I am about to go over hours on my projects.

The user interface is not very friendly. I was a little disappointed when I saw that Function point was rebranding, but not changing anything about the usability. Scheduling is a bit of a hassle, and the scheduling layouts are not easily readable.

Organization and tasks. A great benefit of function point is that it serves as a hub for all of our projects. We can see who is working on what, and the due dates of everything, which is very beneficial for anyone in the workplace. I also like that I am able to see a full list of our current clients.

It is really easy to navigate. I like the dashboard.

There are SO many other things this program could be doing! We need totals at the bottom of the page for amount invoiced and better reports!

We are able to invoice out of one system now instead of two. The benefits are that we can all see who has paid and who hasn't instead of just me.

It's reliable, I suppose and that is okay.

It's not very user-friendly. For example, I cannot close several jobs at once, I have to go into each job individually to do that. The scheduling tool is weak.

I suppose that FP helps solve the problem of getting our projects into our accounting system since we have it connected to QuickBooks.

What is promising to deliver and has not been able to accomplish yet.

Not very convinced yet. we use this software to Manage projects and the task part is not useful for us.

Project Management.

They had a good way to measure people's available time when scheduling tasks.

It was kind of outdated when we had it. Moved a bit slow.

We were scheduling work to employees and tracking work done for clients.

I best like connectivity to invoicing and reports.

User interface, usability, workflow. Specifically, lack of forecasting retainers, lack of manual resource allocation forecasting, need to create an estimate to create job, needing to create job to create project Difference between job and project, quick edit functionality lacking.

Reporting and invoicing.

I can't think of anything I like best about this program. From the start it is so clunky to work in.

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.

We've realized that our team doesn't like it enough to look into other program management software.

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.

We are able to get visibility into the profitability of projects and when we are under or over our budgets since the estimates and timesheets live in the same place. We have also realized the benefit of being able to pull reports to understand how different departments contribute to the overall effort of any given project or client.

Function Point is a comprehensive system that allows for project management and financial management all in one.

Function Point is not very user friendly. Multiple screens are required to complete any one task and none of it is very intuitive. The scheduling tool is also very user un-friendly and adds unnecessary time to project planning.

Project management and financial management is what we are trying to solve for. Benefit is that we have a place to collect and track information.
