Autodesk Docs vs. Deltek Project Information Management

Since my favorite feature is that it brings everyone together, I find it appropriate to interpret it from this perspective. The platform created for all project stakeholders to work together in real time helps increase project efficiency, reduce errors and minimize delays. It creates real-time data, analysis and reporting that will ensure increased and high project performance, which is a quantitative contribution to project management.

We liked the automation associated with filing e-mails. The ability to search within the body of documents within the platform was also a great feature and very powerful. Unfortunately, the program often hung up and didn't work and we were not aware that it was not functioning until several days went by. As far as the document management piece of the program, our staff found it very clumsy and burdensome. That resulted in them not using the system the way it was intended.

• It helps the design team carry out projects more efficiently by facilitating access to up-to-date documents
• It provides the opportunity to share, edit and collaborate on project documents in the cloud environment.
• It supports remote working and eliminates the need for employees to be together for the project or even be in the same city or country.

Incentivized

• It was great for e-mail management
• It was useful for the transfer of large documents

• It is a bit expensive for small construction companies or project offices, and it is more difficult to reach, especially for countries with high exchange rates such as Turkey.
• It cannot integrate with other non-Autodesk software we use within the company.
• Being dependent on the internet is a problem. Of course, I know that being cloudy requires internet, but it may be an advantage to at least keep the used files in its own memory for a while.

Incentivized

• It is not user friendly
• Cloud version is very unstable
• It is very expensive
• It does not integrate with Deltek Vision the way we were told it would

When we purchased Deltek PIM we were told that it integrated well with Deltek Vision; however; once we implemented the program we found out that it was only a one-way flow of information. Also Deltek kept turning off various functionality within the program that would have allowed for better integration between the programs

Incentivized

• Cost prohibitive to small firms
• No flexibility for payment terms
• We were tied to a 3 year term on a program that we hated
