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.

Sage 500 ERP is great for companies with core accounting needs, distributors, and discrete manufacturers. Some areas, such as process manufacturing, would require a companion product from an ISV for the software to be truly functional. Some areas, such as construction or retail apparel, may simply not be well-served.

- 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.

- Sage is the one-stop-shop for all of our needs. We're able to control contracts, subcontracts, and field reports from the program.
- Another strength is the ability to database all the information and export it to excel. This makes data-based investigations a breeze.
- The ability for Timberscan to be imported to Sage is a huge help with invoice management. Prior to this it all had to be done manually and slowed the process to an essential halt as there are thousands of invoices per month.

Cons
Deltek Costpoint
- 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.

- The biggest concern/complaint of Sage 500 users is speed. Some of the screen take a while to load.
- The user interface needs some refreshing. Screens need to be updated to take advantage of shortcuts and to be more intuitive.

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.

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?

The online training courses are not up to date. We experienced technical issues with two of the classes.

Keep your database and application in different servers.
Install Microsoft Office on your application server so you can use some of the data analysis tools in Sage.

- 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.

500 seems much smoother at handling some of the basic accounting tasks, for example both issuing and later reconciling checks in Dynamics AX seems a little tedious.

- Positive: The program allows for a lot of data entry and splitting of information. It has the capability of replacing multiple programs and therefore saving cost.
- Negative: The modules are cumbersome and not user friendly at all. As a result not many user are comfortable using it. This means that the program is not being used to its capacity.
- Negative: Although the program has the capacity to be great, the user interface destroys that potential. Sage needs to seriously work on their program to simplify it. It's as if it still uses Command-line entries from 1995. Needs to be updated ASAP.
