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.
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.

I was excited to find FunctionFox designed for creatives, I had been searching for time tracking and project management suited to my work flow and set up.
Cons
I had always thought their interface was a bit tired, and its funny how that can make you feel... but the new design is awesome

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.
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.

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.
Cons
Adding gantt charts for project planning would be great, but overall this program fits our needs quite well.

Oh, and did I mention they don't even have a time tracking app for your desktop and their mobile apps are so out of date that they haven't even updated their logo?
Pros
The new interface design is really nice.
Cons
There is no time tracking app for the desktop and the mobile apps are seriously out of date.

Don't use it.
After researching several on-line tools, this was the best solution for my architectural firm.
Pros
It has invoicing, timekeeping, scheduling, and planning tools all in one package.
Cons
I would like Gantt chart capability, an easier way to get a list of client and project numbers without running reports.

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.

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.

My company was better able to track where I spent my time/how much of my time was spent on specific projects.
Pros
The software is really easy to navigate, and they have continued to provide updates to make it even easier to use from a user perspective
Cons
I wish there was an app to download onto the computer to make it easier to capture timer and reminders, as the biggest fault of mine is remembering to input the time

Pros
FunctionFox was the perfect tool for setting up, tracking, and managing the projects that my company had going.

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.

Wish it was easier to use retainer tracking feature, there are a few reports that don't show up how I would like them in this view.

I also love the timer feature and the estimator tool, as those help to predict costs.

I am not sure what purpose the timeline serves, since it is so very small and not really a Gantt chart.

Give it a try, and if you need more information, talk to a current user. I would also ensure that your team or company is disciplined enough to input their hours. This goes for any PM tool, not just TimeFox.
The charts help to understand the status of projects.
It's reasonably priced, easy to use and improves our billing, which helps not only our company, but gives our clients the assurance that we are billing appropriately and accurately.
Pros
This product keeps track of all of my notes on my clients' projects. This helps to ensure that my billing is accurate.
Cons
This product is not accessible when the internet is down. It would be great to have a resident version on my computer when internet is out.

All of my staff have commented that it is easy to learn and use, and they were correctly opening/closing new projects and tracking their time within the first week.
Pros
Ease of use; breadth of functionalities
Cons
I hate the fact that I have to run out monthly invoices one by one and can't just run out all the projects with time logged in at once.

Pros
Function Fox is super easy, and I find that it takes me no time at all to track my time for each day.
Cons
I think my only hangup with FF is that the interface can be a little bit clunky, but I can't imagine a time management system that isn't.
