Pros

The time tracking feature for each project and client allows easy visualization of time allocation, facilitating the creation of professional invoices.

The steps for building new tasks and clients are frustrating and not obvious, similar to creating project costs.

“Very easy to use. If I every have an issue, the customer support team is on it.

Pros

Customizable for different users and affordable, FunctionFox offers easy time input using a watch or manual entry. Client reports are straightforward to run and can be detailed by task.

Pinning the program to the browser requires refreshing each time to record time correctly. A desktop app for Windows is desired.

“Great Product!

Pros

The software combines user-friendly navigation with an extensive range of features.

Cons

The QuickBooks export feature is not as flexible as desired. Running monthly invoices individually, rather than collectively for all projects with logged time, is inconvenient.

“It's a Game Changer

Pros

The timekeeping tools receive praise for their interaction with clients, projects, and tasks, offering editing flexibility.

Cons

Hourly rate recording has been disengaged due to frequent adjustments during reporting and invoicing. Invoicing directly from the software remains a challenge. Additionally, there is a desire for a linkage between the Outlook calendar and Function Fox calendar.

“Function Fox as a time-keeping software

Pros

Notably straightforward and user-friendly in its design.

Cons

N/A

“Clunky movement from timesheet to blog to other

Pros

The blog feature stands out as an excellent tool for documenting the various steps of a project.

Navigation issues arise when transitioning from specific job time logging to blogging work progress in that job channel. It is not a direct path to the blog, requiring reidentification of the job number.

Pros

Positive remarks on the appealing design of the recently updated interface.

Cons

Numerous challenges are highlighted, including confusing user navigation, the absence of reporting features found in more affordable alternatives, lack of a desktop time tracking app, and outdated mobile apps.

“FunctionFox review - Graphic Designer

Pros

Effortless time tracking is highlighted, especially through the built-in timer/clock. The evolving interface design is appreciated after three years of product use.

Cons

Desire for a more intuitive and visually appealing method to view schedules is expressed. Criticisms include the clunky nature of the current format, a preference for color-coded schedules interfacing with a calendar like Google, and the inconvenience of changes not automatically shifting other items around. The current schedule process is deemed a time-wasting aspect.

“Creative Service Manager Review

The efficiency of timekeeping is lauded for simplifying reporting, facilitating the collection and sharing of information with clients.

Cons

The absence of a calendar glance or Gantt chart for projects makes realistic planning for multiple projects challenging.

Concerns are raised about the absence of utilization rates for personnel.

Pricing information on the website is viewed as misleading.

“Function Fox Review

Cons

The only point of contention is the lack of clarity in finding the customization option for the "To-Do" list, which was clarified with assistance.

“Very User Friendly!

Pros

Difficulty in pinpointing one specific positive aspect due to the overall self-explanatory nature, invaluable help buttons on each page, and outstanding customer service.

Cons

Challenges include unclear page locations, requiring searches, and a preference for decimal hours being imposed.

“Foxy on FunctionFox!

Pros

Keystone Click initially used BrightPod for web development but it proved unsuitable due to late project deliveries resource overallocation confusing UX and lacking reports. After researching and evaluating FunctionFox Function Point and Paprika we determined FunctionFox to be the best solution. Within three months projects were on time and under budget significantly improving our operations.

Cons

“Use FunctionFox and Make Life Easier

Pros

As an Account Manager/Office Manager FunctionFox is indispensable for preparing traffic meetings and keeping client projects up-to-date. Running reports for monthly billing and using the invoicing tool has saved hours. Despite a slightly cumbersome interface customer service is unbeatable.

Cons

There's absolutely nothing I find displeasing about FunctionFox; it stands as an outstanding product that perfectly satisfies the specific requirements I have for it.

“This software is great for keeping track of time. The project management side needs some improvemen

Pros

The time posting process works great allowing easy tracking and use of the app on my phone.

Cons

Sharing the same action between two people necessitates separate entries and there's a limitation on setting actions for the same time each month hindering automation. The absence of a formal training process is a notable aspect I wish had been addressed.

“I Love FunctionFox!

Pros

FunctionFox has made me a better manager as a Production/Traffic Manager. I've been using it faithfully for over nine years finding it invaluable for staying organized and on top of things.

Cons

Much like my daily vitamin routine FunctionFox is a must-have every day. Every Monday I generate work in progress (WIP) and to-do lists for our weekly Production/Traffic meetings. It proves instrumental in keeping agency professionals organized and aligned with shared goals. Beyond daily time sheets I leverage it for meeting setups briefings and brainstorming sessions along with producing cost reports and referencing specs and costs for various purposes. FunctionFox provides a comprehensive view in one convenient location aiding in task prioritization based on urgency. The flexibility to use it to the desired extent is a standout feature making it a valuable tool in my arsenal.
