    Deltek Inc.
    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.

    Scenario in which Propel is best on the grounds are : 1. Customer support is very enriching and helpful. 2. OMS electronic system is best part of it. 3. Salesforce platform is very user friendly. Scenario in which it needs improvement: 1. Platform releases sometimes affect business operation. 2. Preview and collaboration should be made very user friendly. 3. Variant and sharing management could be improved.

    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

    The company chose it and I have inherited their decision. At the end of the day, it seems like they made a good decision
