Read full review For small to medium engineering and architecture firms, Ajera appears to be the right size. Beyond the engineering software, Deltek Ajera has all the features a small to medium firm will need for smooth operation. AR, AP, Payroll, reporting, project management are all in one package. We chose to self-host because the licensing was more cost effective for us, but cloud hosting is also available.
Read full review Pros It has been a great find for me as it reduces my work and make me more productive at other work which I usually neglect them because of excessive work. The platform is trending on top of list worldwide because of its stand out feature task structure. It comprises all the best tools and strategies that involve a successful activity development system. Read full review Widgets are the best feature of Ajera. Designers can make tiny reports for the entire company, or for one or two individuals. These little reports are the first things that the employee sees when they log in. Viewers of the reports are able to filter, sort, group, print or export the widget without impacting the other users. Deltek has been releasing new features that allow the editing of data in widgets. You can now create new projects or edit timesheets from the widgets. Credit card importing and credit card reconciliation in Ajera has greatly decreased time spent by administration. You can import credit card transactions from your credit cards. It saves on data entry, and it is easy to see what receipts you are missing when you get the statement. Mobile timesheets and expense reports help engineers or other users enter their time and expenses as they are on the go. They can take pictures or receipts or submit their timesheet from home. The Project Command Center is a one stop fountain of information. Everything the project manager wants to know about a project can be found here. You can also add custom fields that allow you to tract addition information. Read full review Cons The biggest drawback that Copper Project has that it becomes slow at times [in my experience]. Secondly, to manage anything in the platform I have to make a ticket every time to make any changes which are frustrating for me a lot. [In my experience] it usually becomes clunky and slow while dealing with large requests which need to be change and functionality needs to improve more.

The user interface for expense sheets could be more user-friendly. Read full review Alternatives Considered Integration of the Copper Project is amazing.
