Our agency uses Function Point for a variety of purposes and across the entire organization. It is how we manage projects, enter time and estimate projects. We have it integrated with QuickBooks for billing and use it for in-depth analysis of profitability, forecasting and resource allocation. It is highly intuitive and provides us with the advanced analysis abilities that we were lacking with our previous solution.
  • Financial analysis and reporting is one of the tool's primary differentiators
  • Function Point has tremendous support and is very helpful when we have questions or issues
  • Time tracking and project management is also very solid
  • Estimating, statements of work and new project setup is very easy
  • While it includes a CRM of sorts, the functionality is not what you would get from a stand alone CRM like Salesforce, or even Hubspot CRM
  • It would be nice if it had more out of the box integrations, specifically for marketing automation platforms
  • While it is easy to use, it requires a lot of training and there is definitely a learning curve
Function Point is well suited for marketing, digital and advertising agencies, including small, medium and large. It has a lot of features that are useful and you can "grow into" some of the features that you may not use right away. It is probably more than is needed for a really small agency of less than 10 people.

With our agency growing, we were looking for a project management software that would allow our agency to manage internal tasks for clients, better estimate projects and track project spending/budgets, and to track and manage billable time. We found that Function Point was one of the only options that gave us everything we needed without being overwhelming for the team to learn. It is used by our whole company.
  • Estimating Projects
  • Manage Tasks for Team Members
  • Track and Manage billable time
  • Some of the reports are hard to find or don't give you what you need
I think Function Point would be suitable for any organization of any size looking to get a better handle on their internal tasks to get a better idea of who is working on what. It is very effective and easy to use for project estimating and budgeting. I don't think it is a great program for lead management. We've been trying to use it for that but are having some issues.

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.
