Deltek Vantagepoint vs. Workday Professional Services Automation

I have used Vision/Vantagepoint with 5 different companies. Where the business model is project-based it works very well. This is the rule for most AEC companies. My current organization does not really have a project-based business model as they have many, many small "projects" that never get entered into Vantagepoint as it would be time prohibitive to do so. This makes the use of the system very limited for all employees outside of accounting and unreliable for reporting pipeline and historical revenue data. This is not the fault of Deltek, however, just an observation of how it is used with my current company.

If you are a company with very little administrative or IT staff that can be dedicated to run, train, and launch - this is the perfect tool for you because it requires very little on the set up end and training. It looks like a social network so a platform many are already used to seeing. Its definitely a very powerful product with an easy interface, providing a stellar customer experience

• The dashboard user interface could be improved to include more pertinent information
• Would be nice to hide features that we use other applications for (i.e. org chart, pay, expenses)

It is ok to use; it is not the easiest to use in terms of usability and user-friendliness but it is not the worst. It still feels somewhat outdated. Many cloud options are cleaner or look more modern. But it is good enough and you should be able to get the hang of it.

As noted, good tools that allow faster development. Dev teams find it is easy to test things out and demo for business users

I would rate Deltek VantagePoint highly in terms of the overall support. You can receive support any time you need it and there is a representative from Deltek assigned to your account so that you can always get the help when you need it. Sometimes, they want to go more in-depth than I would like, however.

With workday support options, I would like to see a more immediately responsive response option. Possibly a chat or a responsive email response team would be helpful.

BQE Core. I think that BQE Core is definitely harder to use, and has a lot of features atleast from the users perspective that dont seem entirely neccesary. Deltek is very straight forward and easy to use.

I was not on the selection team for Workday Profession Services Automation; it was the HR system used by our parent company. However, I have had several opportunities to work with Workday in other HR roles, and have also worked extensively with Oracle products. Workday Professional Services Automation seems more dynamic than the Oracle Suite I've utilized in the past.

• Provides a customizable option for many current and to-be-determined use cases.

• While I don't use the program at a high-level I can see the time-saving effectiveness for administrators.
• By giving a self-serve interface I feel in control of my pay/benefit management.
• Less time spent on HR administration frees up bandwidth for helping colleagues.
