We have not looked into other productivity software platforms, we found Function Point and were sold on the capabilities and customer service aspects from their team.

Function Point is a semi-integrated systems that plays well with QuickBooks as a standard. It is more difficult to implement than Freshbooks and Teamwork, but more robust and feature rich. Its interface is a decade or more behind these tools however. Function Point does much …

Workamajig was NOT a good fit, after over a year of back-end setup. FunctionFox didn't have the financial integration capabilities we needed, but we used it for years and were happy with the service and support. FunctionPoint brought together the 30,000-foot view of the …

We previously used Workamajig and have found Function Point to be superior in every way. Function Point is mobile friendly, web-based, does not use flash and is much more intuitive than Workamajig. We are able to much more easily get the data we need from the system and our …

When looking into other companies, we found that many either offered not enough or too much for what we needed. While Function Point can be expensive and the onboarding is somewhat intensive, the overall payoff was worth it. Customer service was also EXCELLENT.

We were drawn to FP for the ease of estimate to task to billing process. Previous solutions were very manual moving between each of these steps. SmartSheet was a glorified Excel document for tracking time that simply allowed multiple users to edit in a single place. Harvest was …

Great for agency workflows. Maybe not suitable for larger companies with over 200 employees
Read full review
FunctionPoint (FP) is great for agencies performing any type of task oriented work. If your workflow cannot be broken down into a set of outlined and easy to define tasks (even if the output of the task is abstract) then FunctionPoint would be difficult to implement. FunctionPoint is fantastic at defining scope in an engagement and forcing those who execute the work to stay within that scope if tasks are well-defined. If your work requires a lot of group collaboration and sharing of tasks, you may struggle with FunctionPoint's inability to share a single task simultaneously

  • Client portal - could have more customization

  • Reporting- FP offers many pre-loaded reporting functions but sometimes all of this amounts to our job summaries and not specifics.
  • Employee calendar/scheduling- FP does a lot for us and streamlines our processes but one of the main aspects it's lacking is the ability to use the system for employee management like PTO requests, Out of Office, Working Elsewhere, etc.

It's very easy to use even for non tech savvy people and their interface is very intuitive

The support team is one of the friendliest and most responsive I've ever worked with. They are hobbled, however, by a software implementation backlog, buggy software, and a pricing structure that will drive you away.

  • Function Point helped us move from separate systems into one semi-integrated system, proving that integration was efficient and important.
  • Function Point was so bug-riddled that it cost us days and weeks in lost productivity.
