Ease of time tracking multiple tasks on multiple projects for multiple clients.
Pros
Allows for flexibility in choosing reports to print/save/share.
Cons
There is really nothing to "not like", from my experience with FunctionFox. I've been using it for about two years, and have had no negative experiences with it.

Timekeeping - It makes reporting easier to collect and share with clients.

The file size for upload is small so they will have to live elsewhere. The calendar does not integrate with google. You can not make forms such as POs and invoices. Very rigid - look elsewhere.
Tracks time and makes it easy for people to log their hours.
Pros
FunctionFox has a great ability to slice and dice information on timed tasks once they are captured.
Cons
User interface is confusing for most new users.

The program has worked flawlessly since we got it, and on the rare occasion we got stuck on a feature, their staff was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

There are lots of options, finding one that aligns with your company project depth is important. When I freelanced and had smaller clients, simple was better all around. Now I need something that can organize and track more detail.
Basic functionality, would like better reporting tools
Pros
I like that I can download .csv files of hours used/tracked on projects.
Cons
FunctionFox helped us easily track our time.

My billing is generally by the hour, and so the "timer" feature is extremely helpful when working on multiple projects in a day.
Pros
FunctionFox has definitely improved my organizing skills with its to do lists and progress reports.
Cons
Still waiting for Gantt charts. Then I think it will be perfect.

It had integration limitations and was not as flexible as we needed it to be, but for many, it is likely the right tool.
Pros
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.
Cons
We also needed a tool that would be double as a task manager.

Oh, and did I mention they don't even have a time tracking app for your desktop and their mobile apps are so out of date that they haven't even updated their logo?

There is no time tracking app for the desktop and the mobile apps are seriously out of date.

Don't use it.
It pays for itself, keeps me organized and I love the new rebranded user interface too!
Great time tracking/management software.
Pros
We use this to track time for 15 employees and never had a problem.
Cons
Because this is web based it sometimes locks up or we can't access it if our internet is out. A very minor problem that rarely happens.

Saving hours and hours of reporting/management time for tracking budgets and job status under one umbrella of software.
Pros
It keeps track of projects under a retainer and alerts via email when retainers are meeting a certain criteria....very helpful especially when time gets away from us very quickly.
Cons
Slight hang whenever adding things to the calendar but other than that, there are alot of ways to get to the same place but with time and patience, it's workable.

Pros
Function fox does what is needed, which is help teams and individuals track time across functions/activities/clients.
Cons
Function Fox is not the best for larger teams as it can get really messy in terms of selecting the right categories or task types. This makes it a bit difficult to use and then harder to get the team to adopt the platform.

Also for retainer clients, it's very effective in generating the monthly report; easily documenting and validating time spent.
Pros
Love the way it interacts with the Client, Project, Task and the ability to edit.
Cons
I've had to disengage the hourly rate recording because very often we adjust that when reporting and invoicing to clients.

I can not seem to figure out how to view a running list of all projects in a detailed manner.

Pros
I use FunctionFox primarily for time tracking as I use another tool for more day-to-day project management.
Cons
No specific cons - although I think they're lacking in the project management department, I don't use FunctionFox for that so it's not an issue.
