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.

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.

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Oh, and did I mention they don't even have a time tracking app for your desktop and their mobile apps are so out of date that they haven't even updated their logo?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There is no time tracking app for the desktop and the mobile apps are seriously out of date.

It pays for itself, keeps me organized and I love the new rebranded user interface too!
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
The best part about this software is tracking your hours via timesheet. If you're good at managing your time, you can just input the hours you've worked on a project or simply hit a timer and it will track your hours until you've turned the timer off.
Cons
The search option is great but when clicking on projects that are older, it doesn't take you to the project itself, but back to your actions & assignments (could be a bug on my end).

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

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

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.
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.

Don't overthink it. Just jump in and add your current clients and projects and start using it.
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.
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.

The charts help to understand the status of projects.
Pros
The built in function that allows email messages to be sent to people working on projects is a great feature.
Cons
The software seemed a little over the top. Many of the available functions seemed kind of unnecessary and just cluttered the space. That would be my only complaint, but perhaps there is a market where the additional functions are used.

We have used FunctionFox for time and expense tracking for over 15 years.
Pros
Great UI, very intuitive for designers and account people. Timesheets are painless and now our expenses don’t slip through the cracks.
Cons
Can’t think of anything. Whenever there was an issue, they have listened to our suggests and continue to improve the product.
