Of course this is the one of the best solution available in the market at present. When you have Multiple system in a plant then you need a powerful tool for Computation which Ability does it smoothly.

Deltek Costpoint is the most frustrating and clunkiest software I've ever used, and I've been using software for 30 years. The interface appears to have been developed before the internet and HTML and does not appear to use any modern widgets made for HTML. Every button click or menu selection requires a pause while something else loads. Our employees waste much time trying to figure out (what should be) simple tasks, and I've spoken with nobody in our company that likes the software. We've had trainings on Costpoint, but people still have issues constantly.

- I love how you can cut a check and it opens a PDF version so it can be saved for retention at a later date if needed.
- I love how you can research vendor history different ways. It allows you to input a range or just enter one at a time.
- I also love that there are tons of reports that can be run to help with any projects.

Cons

- May be for smaller PLCs this can't be implemented.
- Cost may an area ABB can look in to.
- Improvement in GUI

- Customer Care - this is probably the one area that needs the most work.
- Quality Control Testing - if this area had a higher level of detail prior to releasing updates, it might mitigate the number of patches required for customers.
- Cloud Based Product doesn't work for every customer. Get multiple references before considering moving to the cloud offering.

One of the best solutions in the market with a user-friendly system. This is very useful when the ABB system (Like we had 800xA) is there, new or existing; all the ABB systems can be integrated using this rather than going to a 3rd party vendor, which may have interface problems.

It is the most unintuitive system I have ever used. No one understands it right off the bat and the documentation doesn't help much.

Good support in terms of quality and promptness. When we had problems with some of the commands not getting executed, their online support also provided a good solution to solve the problem. Even mission-critical task we were able to solve during this Pandemic time. The suggestion is to go for the online support 1st in the future, followed by a visit.

The software is so huge and clunky that I wouldn't know how to ask for support. Here is my example of support needed: "Hello, I'm filling out my timesheet like I have been doing every day for years, and suddenly this error message came up that says "Error: 6HX7: PLC not available". I just made that up as an example of the cryptic error messages, but what is that telling me?

Better suited for the ABB System as Microsoft is a third party for ABB Control System.

- Deltek Costpoint was able to provide a few more dimensions than ADP and is better prepared for larger international integration.
- DATABASICS can meet our dimension needs and provide the same services as Deltek Costpoint at a much lower cost.
