Gründe für den Wechsel zu FunctionFox

Vorteile

If you're using just for projects, than this tool is OK. It also CAN do task management and gantt chart tracking. It also can track your tasks that you are doing.

Nachteile

Pretty much everything. It is a bulky interface that doesn't do anything better or as well as their competitors. The tool doesn't make it easy to track retainers, actions, tasks, projects, etc.

Vorteile

So easy to use and easy to make changes. Pulling reports has never been so simple and everyone can see a the status of a job at any time.

Nachteile

That unless a project is closed it still shows up on To Do Board, we figured out a work around. I wish the alert bell would have the option to make a sound.

Vorteile

I have been using Function Fox for time tracking and invoicing clients for several years, and it's perfect. Not a lot of extra stuff I don't need. The customer service is AMAZING... always promptly responding to my questions when I get stuck with things I don't do often.

Nachteile

Nothing... the system does what I need it to do!

Vorteile

It's been a great tool for our business as we've navigated a team of 2-10 employees, especially through a global pandemic! We use it mostly for time tracking and project tracking, but it's been a great resource.

Nachteile

Sometimes we have issues with the Reports feature, not getting the right data or all of the data we'd like to be in a report.

Vorteile

Customer support is great, with personalized advice and ongoing support.

Nachteile

Estimated hours and fees are tied directly to the Tasks and rates. Unfortunately it’s not possible to have the Est. Hours/Est. Fees tied to personnel or the personnel rate.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use of FunctionFox. FunctionFox is simple to set up, maintain and track hours. It does all we need it to do!

Nachteile

I wish it integrated with QuickBooks Online and ClickUp for ease of invoicing and seamless project hours tracking.

Vorteile

FunctionFox has been an excellent service for our marketing agency. It's so easy to track time by employee, client, project, and task.

Nachteile

I wish the reporting features were a little more robust. I also wish that the retainers functionality had more offerings and didn't cut off after two years.

Vorteile

Simplicity.
Easy to teach and get running with staff.

Nachteile

Wished it had financial management tools so it was a one stop business management tool.

Vorteile

This program is very user-friendly and is an integral part of our day-to-day operations. As a consultant firm, we needed a time-tracking system that would make important changes as we continue to grow as a company. Honestly, we couldn't function well without it!

Nachteile

There are some functionality issues that are minor but could use improvement. Moving projects (rather than just clients) from one to another is an example.

Vorteile

Quick to get into and very easy to add time and descriptions of work. Also like the ability to customize tasks by client.

Nachteile

Would be helpful to have a cheat sheet describing how to add a new client/project and how to archive a completed client/project.

Vorteile

Function Fox provides several ways to track time, so designers have their choice of methods.

Even though we don't use it like we should (we're hiring a project manager soon), the Gantt charts are awesome for planning out a project and adjusting schedules as needed.

I don't have to train my designers how to use it; Function Fox provides one-to-one live tutorials.

Nachteile

The user interface is not as user-friendly or aesthetically pleasing as some of the other products.

Vorteile

Easy, accessible, and allows us to manage the billable and nonbillable hours for our agency in a snap.

Nachteile

Just our lack of knowledge of what else could serve our agency better, but we are learning!

Vorteile

Easy setup of new clients, projects, tasks and hourly rates.
Very easy to pull reports of timesheets and associated fees in order to understand actuals, and use these in preparing invoices.
The ability to archive past projects and even clients keeps the program from being cluttered.

Nachteile

I only use a small part of FunctionFox's capabilities, and I have only high praise for the parts of the software that I use.

Vorteile

I started using this product about 15 years ago. It is a great tool for tracking projects, time, sales dollars vs. time spent per account and many other measurables. It is the best tool I have found that allows Design and sales management to objectively measure the return on design resources spent. The data collected has been immensely helpful to management, and this is the 4th organization that I have introduced to the tool!

Nachteile

None! Very easy to implement and use, for graphics and structure.

Vorteile

The thing about time tracking is that it can be a huge pain. TimeFox removes so many barriers... it's as simple as I can imagine it being. And that's what matters most. More features mean more complexity. This software tracks your time very very well.
You can track time with a start/stop stopwatch function, enter it manually, duplicate previous entries... even across days. It's very easy to use so you don't waste time while tracking your time.

Nachteile

It might be limiting or expensive for some, but I have found it

Vorteile

I like how there is little effort to enter the information and how it keeps a record. Easy to produce reports.

Nachteile

There is nothing to dislike. I like all features this product offers.

Vorteile

This website is Web based so it's easy for everyone to access and stay connected.
Very good customer service.

Nachteile

I do wish it was a little easier to customize the reports on my own.

Vorteile

Easy to use, great reporting, clean interface.

Nachteile

Inability to completely delete past projects.

Vorteile

Friendly use all the employees have no problem using it....

Nachteile

Yes, interact with accounting program....

Vorteile

The best thing about this program is that you can assign tasks to individual employees. This allows for better tracking of project time, and the mobile app gives you the option to do that even if you aren’t in the office. The ability to create an unlimited number of clients and projects is an even greater bonus. The emailing of tasks also helps greatly with time management.

Nachteile

As we only needed it for time tracking, we haven’t encountered any negative things to say about this project. There are more features that we just don’t need, so perhaps slim lining the program would be helpful to make it more sleek-looking.

Vorteile

It has stayed true to its purpose; maintained its convenience and ease of use; is very dependable; doesn't require ongoing maintenance upgrades and then the need to re-learn how to use the software.

Nachteile

I wish it was just a little less expensive since I only use the Time Tracking and Reports features.

Vorteile

Time tracking and invoicing is really easy ! The weekly hours motivates me.

Nachteile

Nothing for now I'm really happy with the product.

Vorteile

The organisation of tasks over time, with many categories.

Nachteile

Adapting is difficult. It's not intuitive to apply more forms of organisation, for example, having ways of highlighting tasks by type of task, in the daily list or to do in the future.

Vorteile

C'est le meilleur logiciel pour la gestion des projets et du temps très simple et rapide. Sa facilité d'utilisation et son interface conviviale le rend meilleur . Avec un très bon système de suivi . Je le recommande

Nachteile

Certaines fonctionnalités ont besoin des mises à jour. Je l'adore et je le recommande

Vorteile

Ease of use and adoption from employees.

Nachteile

Lack of innovation. Lack of integration with other software.

Vorteile

FunctionFox is easy to use. I've been using it for over 10 years and I have no intentions of ever switching.

Nachteile

There really isn't anything I don't like about FunctionFox.

Vorteile

The best feature for me is the time tracking and easy integration for our project management. Updating the tasks is very easy, and I like how flexible this tool is for our team to utilize.

Nachteile

I don't have any cons as of the moment, as the software is working fine for us, and I like the simplicity!

Vorteile

the deployment of FunctionFox in our office was the quickest seamless deployment i have every had for any SAS

Nachteile

cryptic way that project tasks as found. User has to go into projects tab to find the global project tasks. The "Project>Manage" Tab only allows end user to see one project at a time. i would have expected to see all projects.

Vorteile

The time tracking and various reporting and organizing features are vital in making sure we invoice accurately for the work we do.

Nachteile

The only con is filling out this survey, as it requires me to provide a con for a product that I have no complaints about, and to require it to be a certain length in order to submit!

Vorteile

I love the level of detail I can drill-down to with timekeeping. Once we set up our project templates and task list template, creating new projects was a breeze. Time tracking takes a couple clicks and the records everything we need to know to bill clients and run payroll. It's not overly-complicated either. It's simple and it does exactly what it needs to do.

Nachteile

Everything is so malleable within the system, so anything that annoyed me about the program I have been able to change - I love everything about it, I have no complaints!

Vorteile

I love the stopwatch timer for tracking my time as I work on projects each day. Having this feature has allowed me to bill for every single minute I work instead of letting things fall through the cracks. Then, at the end of the month when I am ready to invoice, I can quickly and easily produce reports for each client that show details for each task I have completed.

Nachteile

I can't think of anything I would do to improve this. It is amazing!

Vorteile

We love the simplicity of the software interface, how user-friendly it is and that it's an app we can take anywhere we want.

Nachteile

We can't think of one. Hmm. Nope. We have literally had no issues or downtime or other problems. Maybe that there are so many cool features we haven't tried out yet...but that's on us!

Vorteile

Function Fox offers a variety of time tracking methods, which provides designers with the flexibility to choose the method that works best for them. Although we have not fully utilized all the features, the Gantt charts are particularly useful for planning and adjusting project schedules. The software is user-friendly, and I did not have to spend time training my designers on how to use it. Function Fox also provides one-to-one live tutorials, which is a great feature for new users. Despite we are planning to hire a project manager soon, Function Fox has been a great tool for managing our projects and schedules\''

Nachteile

While FunctionFox is a great tool for time tracking, I have found that the backend organization of clients and projects can be confusing and difficult to navigate. Additionally, the integration options for communication with other software are limited and not user-friendly to set up. Also, updates and new features have to be added to your account by a FunctionFox representative, which can be time-consuming. Overall, the time tracking capabilities of the software are great, but the backend organization and integration options could be improved.

Vorteile

What we like most about FunctionFox is the ease of use. It's user-friendly, pretty self-explanatory, and it has a ton of features that would come in handy for a variety of businesses. For us, specifically, time tracking by project, task and client are super important because that's how we report our time to our clients. Prior to FunctionFox, this was a daunting task and caused many stress headaches. Now, it's simple, quick and painless.

Nachteile

There's nothing we liked least, per se. There is a feature we wanted but wasn't exactly available. When we have a certain number of hours to use per a monthly retainer, we sometimes carry over unused hours on that retainer to the next month. There was no way to track those hours as they add up, yet not go over a certain limit.

Vorteile

For more than 20 years, I have been recommending this product to all my professional services clients, small businesses - who need to track & bill out their time. Interior designers, architects, all manner of professional consultants. They all rave about its simplicity and ease of use, the stability of the platform, the almost instant response from support, should you ever need it. And support will actually call you!! Imagine that a live voice. As an accountant, I prefer the fact it is not integrated with accounting or billing package - nice to keep employees/consultants away from critical accounting data and - integrated time billing packages take a LOT of housekeeping and can be very confusing for front line managers. Very simple export data to excel, make manual notes/edits - /pdf attach reports as necessary. VERY simple and visual project management love it.

Nachteile

As I use Timefox with multiple clients, would be great to customize the screen display with different COLOURS and/or have the company name on every screen display. Minor detail.

Vorteile

The software is designed with the creative industry in mind. You can set up project names, common tasks with specific hourly rates. When it comes time invoice a project I no longer have to request time sheets from staff. I just log in to the software, select the project name within the appropriate dates and all of the information that I need is presented quickly and efficiently which makes invoicing easy.

Nachteile

I can honestly say that I cannot find anything wrong with this software.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu FunctionFox

Vorteile

FunctionFox allows you to set up different account and projects within those accounts to help separate your time into tasks and items of your own choosing. For a marketing agency, this type of tool is essential. Function Fox offers a pretty easy to use system with several features to help make your time tracking experience easier and more accurate.

Nachteile

We ultimately moved away from FunctionFox because it was not able to integrate into our billing software. We also needed a tool that would be double as a task manager.

Vorteile

Easy to use, tier access to functionalities, quick and trackable time, job costs and invoicing.

Nachteile

Cannot think of any negative feedback at this time

Vorteile

The product is easy to use, with a lot of features. Was easy to learn due to the responsiveness of the team members and built in support. Couldn't recommend it more.

Nachteile

I wish the invoice ad report side was a bit more customizable but a very minor comment.

Vorteile

The software has finally freed me from the nightmare that is paper timecards. It's much easier to track labor hours and details on projects.

Nachteile

It's not always intuitive to find and use features that I don't regularly use, but if I get stuck, the support is always very good and they are quick to answer the phone.

Vorteile

As a one-person PR shop, knowing that I can quickly and easily create projects, track my time and do my monthly invoicing in one spot is invaluable and I don't miss billing any of my most valuable resource - my time!

Nachteile

After two decades, Function Fox features everything I need!

Vorteile

Time tracking and project management...with service and support.

Nachteile

Would love an app, or more responsive site for mobile phones

Vorteile

Software is easy to use and show staff how to use

Nachteile

I do not currently have anything that I do not like

Vorteile

The customer service has been outstanding. [sensitive content hidden] have been incredibly responsive and helpful which is greatly appreciated.

Nachteile

Nothing comes to mind. If anything what I like least about this process is that my team doesn't adopt using it fast enough. Implementing change in culture often takes time as does new habits associated with entering time. It's been a slow process for everyone to adopt but it will only improve our efficiencies and work life balance once everyone is using it as they should.

Vorteile

I have a small but growing architecture practice. I tried several project management and timekeeping and accounting programs before finding FunctionFox. I have been using it for a little over a year now. It allows me to do everything in one place, from job estimating to invoicing. The most important feature I was looking for, and was having trouble finding elsewhere, was an "resource availability" function, that would keep me from scheduling myself or my employees for 180 hours/week. FunctionFox has definitely improved my organizing skills with its to do lists and progress reports. The customer service has been excellent, and the interface is easy to use and clearly organized. I recommend it for any firm, but especially small start ups.

Nachteile

Still waiting for Gantt charts. Then I think it will be perfect. They are used extensively in construction scheduling, and I would like to have the same format when scheduling the design.

Vorteile

Function Fox makes it easy to set up clients, projects and to track time. Most importantly, Function Fox has allowed my company to track and invoice for hourly work that "slipped through the cracks" in the past; my billable hours have nearly doubled since I started using the product. Function Fox help you get paid for your work. All of it.

Nachteile

I think the invoicing part of Function Fox's system could be a bit more flexible -- customizing my invoices i a way that my clients will accept them has been a minor challenge, but certainly not a deal-breaker. Overall, it's a great product that help you get paid for your work -- the good definitely outweighs the bad.

Vorteile

We have used this program for a few years now and have found it very easy to track progress on projects, log hours, and make sure that our office is running as efficiently as possible. This has been a great investment for us!

Nachteile

It took some time to get familiar with how to use the software. Adding gantt charts for project planning would be great, but overall this program fits our needs quite well.
