I believe so, although I noticed in the past how some electronic dictionaries seem to miss it.

Perhaps functionalities sounds good and i believe is the plural for functionality!

I write about software for a living and I've never needed a plural form: "The software's functionality includes a, b, c... x, y, and z."

RXSRK,
No "perhaps" about it! According to the patterns of English spelling, the plural of functionality is functionalities.

It may be a word (though it's not in Concise Oxford), but it sounds awkward to me, and I don't have a need for it anyway.
