Deltek Costpoint is landfill fodder
Deltek Costpoint 7 is used throughout our company to record time and do expense reports.
- I can't find anything the Costpoint does well.
- Cumbersome: Tasks that should be simple require complex operations.
- Non-intuitive error messages: Error messages come up frequently and many are so cryptic that only the software designers would know what they intending to convey.
- Non-intuitive flow: Filling out time sheets or expense reports is not intuitive the first few times you use it, nor is it intuitive after years of use. Error messages are frequent and not helpful.
- Expense report attachments can only be PDF format, which means I can't take a photo of a receipt with my phone and transfer it directly in JPG or PNG. This requires (like so many other things in Costpoint) extra unnecessary steps.
- Loss of information: In the timesheet module, if you forget to click "save", or if you click "save" and walk away and do not see an error message (with might take several seconds to appear), you lose all the information you entered. That means perhaps another 20 minutes navigating this frustrating and clunky application.
- Non-intuitive: The many buttons across the top are like "what the heck is that? I'll click it just to see what it does".
- Expense report redundancy: There are times when doing expense reports that the same information needs to be entered more than once.
- Expense report searching: Finding a previously submitted expense report is non-intuitive, and when I do find it, absolutely no information is given.
- Expense reports: When I attempt to find an old expense report (by again navigating through too many buttons, i.e., clicking time & expense --> expense --> expense reports --> manage expense reports), a new expense report is generated. I then click on "query" to find an old expense report, and it tells me that changes have not been saved in the current expense report (although I navigated to "manage expense reports" and did not ask the software to create a new one).
- Outdated: The interface appears to have been made in the 1980s.
- There are so many other little frustrating things in this software that coupled with the appearance and bugginess, I would call it the worst software I've ever used.

Strong ERP works globally in all industries.
Deltek Costpoint is used across the whole organization. Our business rules allowed us to configure by organization, accounts, and projects. Program managers know exactly where they stand in relation to project status, performance, and funding. In the past, this information wasn't readily available, whereas now it can be reviewed in real-time.
- Enterprise Reporting
- Budgeting and Planning
- Time and Expense
- Materials Management
- 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.

Deltek Costpoint - They're good at sales
Deltek Costpoint is used across the whole organization as our timekeeping system. The biggest problem we have is that it doesn't interface well with our other systems. Any reports or outputs have to be reformatted to fit our needs. Reports have little customization and are difficult to filter. It's easiest to run a basic report with an overabundance of information and filter from there.
- Deltek Costpoint was good at recording hours worked and tracking PTO accruals.
- There were not enough dimensions for our project needs. We often had to combine fields, which resulted in a lot of project lines.
- I cannot stress enough how important it is to make reports easy to customize.
- Real-Time PTO balances would be helpful when running PTO reports.
- Needs a mobile app

Definitely purchase version 7.1 if you hate your employees
We use Deltek Costpoint version 7.1.1 for timesheet and expense tracking across our entire organization. We do a lot of government consulting work so we have some complicated requirements when it comes to tracking expenses and time across contracts.
- Tracks hours per project
- Their UI is dated
- Too many steps are needed to complete simple tasks

I love Deltek
Deltek is being used by my organization for our financial system.
- 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.
- I do not like how sometimes there are fields grayed out and it does not allow you to select the option you would like. (ie: Account# or Project#)
- I do not like some of the errors that pop up as they are not clear exactly what needs to be corrected in order to save the voucher. It puts the red bar around it but doesn't explain all the time.

The Possibilities are Endless
Deltek Costpoint is being used by the Finance & Accounting mainly. Other departments use it as needed to gain required information.
- I love the capability to look at my project data at specific levels or to roll it up to the top level. This allows management to see just what they need and not have a lot of extraneous data. It allows you to really personalize how you want your project information set up.
- The ability to set users up with just the permissions to see gather the information needed. Specifically making sure that the information can only be changed by the proper people. That way we can make sure that separation of duties is maintained and sensitive information can be protected.
- Having the chance to personalize reports to each user is awesome. Then you don't have to wade through mountains of unneeded data.
- What I dislike is closely related to what I like about Costpoint. You can easily get lost in the multitude of menus. Although that is being constantly looked at and worked on.
- Some of the processes are extremely complicated and If your are not careful you can easily mess up the whole process with one change. Although the error notifications are really good at preventing this from happening often!

CostPoint is a powerful tool in a power packed industry
Costpoint is being used across our company as the primarily accounting and finance system. It works to solve all accounting, finance and project management related issues like revenue recognition, billing, invoices and accounts payable.
- Costpoint is really good with providing users with a variety of accounting solutions from Project Setups to revenue recognition to Purchase orders. This software has it all under one roof.
- Costpoint has the ability to handle large amounts of data and it neatly organize that data in the form of meaningful reports.
- Costpoint interfaces really well with other Deltek products like Time and Expense and Cognos and makes the use of data across multiple platforms seem seamless.
- Costpoint can be a bit more user friendly as compared to its competitors and would therefore be easier for people to pick up
- Costpoint also struggles to interface well with other non-Deltek owned software and provides difficult challenges to companies with large structures and organizations using multiple tools.
- Certain tables in Costpoint can be really hard to monitor from an audit trail perspective and these row updates on the data tables are not readily accessible to front end users.
Deltek Costpoint, as well as Time and Expenses, is used by 95% of our whole organization from accounting to operations. My team and I assist in troubleshooting, upgrading as well as administrating Costpoint. We are currently on CP 7.1 but migrating to the most current version. Costpoint is heavily utilized by our accounting department from invoicing, billing, accounts receivable and accounts payable. Costpoint has also been integrated into Cognos. My company hopes to deploy the asset and inventory management modules by end of 2018.
- Invoicing
- Billing
- Cost Accrual
- System Resource Hog
- Support Resolution Time
- Unified Patching and System Visibility
- Reporting & Analytics
