Function Point vs. SAP Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management: Which is Best?

FP is a multipurpose software. It helps us to save templates of our jobs, to see which job is profitable for our business. It's not for agency models, it means we have to use other software in FP for better results.

I don't like it, not important for the business. It is not so easy to use, the option of removing tabs is good, though.

Along with streamlining the estimate and invoice creation process, Function Point has helped us create an efficient system to track time and manage task performance. It has helped us solidify data in a digital form rather than written form. We save time by enjoying the auto-creation functionality for items such as estimates and through the use of templates. It helps us be more efficient.

The software has some good features. We can write instructions for the artists through Notes within the program. These instructions become a part of the job or project and come in handy for reference at later dates. This also saves us from tracking these instructional notes elsewhere.

Function Point allows us to keep updated records with functions such as creating an invoice easily and simply from the project already in the system. One cool function is that of creating detailed estimates for prospective clients. These estimates are easy to create also, and they provide needed information in clear details to the clients. Just the same, the ability to save templates helps us save time.

The experience of learning the modules of this software was great. The purchasing, manufacturing, and quality control modules are some of the modules I have used on a regular basis for my teams operations. Professionals in large institutions are highly encouraged to license this software.

The most interesting feature of this software is the multi-dimensional utility for various departments. From shipping, receiving, planning, insurance, manufacturing, etc. this tool is very useful, it offers a transparent system for a processes’ overview via disparate modules, when it comes to inventory management, quality metrics, batch scheduling, etc. it is very productive, and in order to streamline operations this solution is essential for all large institutions.

Limited availability of software experts to teach on the software and novices find it complicated to learn the software.

All in all, we’re contented with the final tool and we’ve had a great and pleasant experience. However, in order to offer a more comprehensive tool to their customers and attract more prospective customers to join their portfolio, much more needs to be done to this software.

Using it is easy, it is extremely functional, has well designed integrations, very useful in maintaining your business’s accounting control, and regarding linking your customers and providers with their individual invoices, it is extremely useful.

Extremely terrible client care support-very slow when updating the system.
