PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Perfect solution for keeping track of our tasks and projects and their due date. It provides great set of features to make our work easier.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The integration with QuickBooks caused many problems, because we don’t have large data in QB anymore and FP changed some options when it comes to interaction with clients and dates on invoices. Also, I would like to adjust invoices instead of deleting it and starting over again whenever we want to make simple change. Additionally, various estimates cannot be put into one project, and we cannot add more than one of same service.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We have realized great benefits with internal interaction and tasking, we keep everything in one place and in perfect order. Everyone knows their tasks and their job responsibility.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Function Point offers many option for customizing our work, as a small company we needed a product that would offer us many functions instead of limiting us to one operation. I like schedule and calendar format, we are even able to upload iCal for everyone. We use tasking from a note so we can submit quick work orders and the note function is very important feature to us.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The truth is that this product offers great set of features but they need to be more easy to use for tasking and timesheets.

Once you learn how to use it, you will see that everything is easy to do, you can easily run billings and it has great integration with QuickBooks. Its time management functionality is easy and extremely helpful for our employees. We have great amount of data and we can easily access past and present projects through categories and this helps us to better organize our work.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The learning process is long, and when you finish with the trainings there is lot more to learn in order to get the report you need. I want to see an option where I can save the reports. It takes lot of work to see how many hours an employee has worked on specific task. Also, we have found some issues when sync back and forth between FP and QB, it takes lot of work to get FP invoices.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We know that everything that is connected to our work is in one place, including time, budget, PDFs, signed proposals. When it comes to organizing thing Fp does the job and it’s much better when you know that everything is in perfect order.

What are the best aspects of this product?

Function Point is easy to manage software, we can easily enter and find specific information. It provides great set of features and I love all of them, I’m using them on a daily basis, my work is easier after I implemented this product.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I don’t know about others but the calendar layer is difficult to read, I often use “Bulk Edit” so I can do things quickly. When I click on a field in the new calendar then it moves farther away from the mouse click. I don’t know whether it is a bug or issue but they need to work on this one.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We needed a beneficial and robust software in order to assign and organize tasks to each member. FP really helps us to do that, once we set up we immediately started to manage our projects and to assign tasks to our members.
