Deltek Collaboration vs. Huddle

Deltek Collaboration is best suited for companies and employees that are needing to work closely with other people. Working with agencies, for example, can take so much time waiting to hear back on the status of a project or getting files, so when you can have it all in one place it saves a lot of time and effort.

If you are sharing private information like contracts for designs and designs that aren't meant to be shared only with one client, the platform is very secure

• Integrations with file sharing platforms.
• Project-based spaces making information easy to find.
• Good communication tools.

• Huddle allows users to use the native document file types. For example, Word files are still in a Word, not a "Huddle" file version.
• Huddle workspaces are invitation-only. If someone should not be in the workspace, they will not be invited and provided access to the documents. Or, they can be removed from the workspace if needed.
• Communication about documents is located with the documents in a discussion thread under the document preview. Thus, email inbox clutter can be limited.

• In general, I have never noticed negative features in Deltek Collaboration. This software allows me to collaborate with my whole team without problems.

• More pricing options would have been nicer.

Before Deltek, we had just communicated around projects through Slack since it was free. It did work well for communication and you could share files, but it is not nearly as robust as Deltek Collaboration. It was not easy to look back and find necessary files, and the collaboration didn't work nearly as well.

Sharepoint is very flexible, but very clunky and slow when all one needs is a quick document management solution. M-Files is a great, rich document management system, but until recently focussed less on the collaboration piece.

Incentivized

• Improved communication.
• Centralized location for all documentation.
• Better organization for projects.

• This has made it a lot easier for remote workers to access important documents without needing to use the VPN at home (which does not always work).
• It clearly shows who updated the last document and when so it is clear who you need to ask if you have questions or something.
• We have used it in client settings, so this saves money as we do not need to request a separate client laptop or VPN token.
