Max P.: My name is Max. I'm a director of marketing technology in the Aiden Agency. This is for FunctionFox. I give it two out of five stars. For more review reviews like this, please click below.
We were looking to solve a way that we could track progress of projects and activities, as well as tasks and manage a team while being able to show progress and be able to hold people accountable for projects and tasks, to make sure that they're being done within a timely manner and who is responsible for actually doing them.
It gave us the ability to manage our own tasks and have tasks assigned to us by other people. So we were able to have a task put in, see the progress, manage it, and then mark it as done.
The things I liked least about FunctionFox was that the interface was very outdated and clunky and bulky and hard to use. They hid a lot of the things that were standard under different levels. So accessing different things like projects and retainers and reports were layered below things. I did not like that you weren't able to really track progress. It was more of a begin and done. I did not like the fact that you were not able to tag multiple people on an activity that only one person was able to be assigned to it. So if multiple people were involved, you had to unassign it to someone, then reassign it to the new person and back and forth that way. So it was hard to stay in communication. And the last thing that I did not like was that you were not able to add comments to your actions. So if you had additional details, you had to put it all in the title or communicate separately outside of FunctionFox.

"Great Software to keep track of hours and projects"
Pros: 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!
Cons: 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.

"Excellent product, works well, does what we need"
Overall: What a great product, it's simple, it works well, and has never failed to do what we need. The sales and onboarding process was done very well and I felt taken-care of the entire time. I highly recommend this for time-tracking.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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!
Reasons for Choosing FunctionFox: I have practice management software for project tracking and invoicing for the different kinds of projects we work. Because we work multiple types of projects, we needed a time-tracking solution separate from those project management software. FunctionFox lets us track all the details we need and doesn't have to be inside any other software.
Switched From: QuickBooks Time
Reasons for Switching to FunctionFox: Quickbooks Time used to be a product called t-sheets and it was amazing. Then Intuit got ahold of it and ruined it like they do. It stopped doing what we needed and started trying (and failing) to do a bunch of fancy integrations instead, so we had to find another solution.

"FunctionFox is a vital tool to accurately track expenses so you get paid for all you do."
Overall: We have used FunctionFox for over 12 years, so that basically says it all. As a company, they have always been responsive to suggestions to better the product and have taken feedback when something isn't quite right, and implemented change or fixes in a timely fashion.
Pros: The time tracking and various reporting and organizing features are vital in making sure we invoice accurately for the work we do.
Cons: 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!

"Limited Use Cases, I Would Go Elsewhere"
Overall: We use this tool to track projects and our task/actions with for our clients. It does neither well. The tool is very bulky and not a great interface. It does not make tracking tasks easy, and managing my teams hours isn't a fun or easy task due to this tool
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Reasons for Choosing FunctionFox: I was not involved in the process. I've been pushing for years to switch, but we're too far invested in this tool to switch

"Nothing in life is perfect... But FunctionFox is pretty darn close"
Overall: Before, we had to collect time per client, project and task manually from consultants every week. And then compile those time reports into a collective spreadsheet. It was like pulling teeth. But with FunctionFox, all we need to do is simply track time for users in the platform, and then export a .csv spreadsheet. It's ridiculously simple and easy - and we love it.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Switched From: Toggl Track
Reasons for Switching to FunctionFox: Toggl didn't have nearly the same robust features or reporting capabilities as FunctionFox.
