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.
It is very well suited for Project Accounting - we have thousands of Project codes in the system. I wish it were easier to make changes to data already entered. You have to jump through hoops to make any changes or corrections and timing is everything.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Deltek is a very integrated system for accounting purposes. It stores documents as support for postings (e.g. AP invoices) so you can easily access the source information.Time tracking for our consultants is a must and Deltek has a good platform for tracking time and for accounting for time.Deltek has the ability to run almost any kind of report that you could possibly think of! There are fields for almost everything and if there aren't specific fields you can add them.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Deltek Vision's use of the desktop browser interfaces could use some major upgrades. It's not very user-friendly. When a field is left blank it would prevent the user from saving the timesheet but would not clearly inform the user where the error has occurred.Deltek Vision should provide a simple method to print summaries like have its own built-in pdf export program instead of relying on a 3rd party program like Adobe.Incentivized
Because we are looking to upgrade to the next software level of Deltek.Incentivized
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.
It's on the verge of being awesome. Right now it's a matter of money -- if you have the money to hire consultants round the clock, yeah this is awesome.Incentivized
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?
99% of the customer service specialists and technicians that I've encountered are quite awesome!Incentivized
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.Incentivized
We have used Deltek Vision and previous versions (names) of the product since the early 1990's. We are engaged in the system and are committed to the continued use of the product. I have long supported the value added to our company and benefits realized by our users.
Costpoint has made it possible for our business to get our invoices paid quickly and on timeCostpoint has made it possible for our business to get a ISO audits cleared every yearCostpoint has made it possible for our business to always setup projects in a standardized manner that either meets or goes beyond the industry standards.Incentivized
We went from using a DOS-based accounting system that all the management had to go to Accounting for a weekly printout of status reports, and there wasn't much visibility into the network. Deltek Vision gave our PMs and management information at their fingertips, without having to wait on someone else to get the info.A lot of quality control was handled outside of an electronic system through Microsoft Excel forms. With Deltek Vision's user-defined functions, we were able to bring those functions into a system that could then be reported on, send automatic reminders, and create dashboards. This has been hugely beneficial in not losing sight of action items etc.Incentivized
