FunctionPoint promises integrated systems and delivers mayhem.

Managing Director & Creative Principal in Marketing at 2 Fish Company, LLC (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Function Point will help you manage your marketing and advertising projects, and will give you insights and data that are actionable.
  • Function Point has some of the best customer support agents I've ever worked with.
  • Function Point will work with you to implement your software, and are patient as you grasp new concepts.

Cons

  • Function Point often provided reports that were inaccurate due to bad calculations. The support team would work with us to troubleshoot these issues, but the fact remained that calculations were wrong.
  • Function Point was purchased by a new parent company that increased prices over their nearest, superior, competitor, pricing themselves out of the market.
  • Function Point's interface is dated, as is its code base.
  • New features are being implemented not as software revisions or upgrades, but as new for-pay features.

Return on Investment

  • 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.

Function Point- A Creative Agency's Dream Platform

Director in Marketing (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • Project management- from project conception to completion, this is THE system to have.
  • Estimates & budgets- allows real-time insight into hours logged per job and if we are going to exceed estimated hours for each project's budget.

Cons

  • 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.

Return on Investment

  • Efficiency specifically around reducing time spent on project tasks.
  • Streamlined billing/payables teams by almost totally integrating with our accounting system.

Director in Marketing (11-50 employees employees)

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • 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

Return on Investment

  • We have a much more timely and accurate sense of our financials since switching to FunctionPoint
  • Our team is more efficient at tracking time, and we are much more able to track resources and profitability
  • Our accounting manager is able to use Quick Books in a much more efficient manner than previously
