Overall Satisfaction with Deltek Costpoint

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 can't speak much about scenarios as I'm only an end user. I do not work in the accounting department. What I can tell you is that if you get this version of the software your employees will hate you. Every time they fill out their timesheets or expense reports they will curse whomever decided to purchase this software. It looks like it was made by a college student as part of a sophomore programming class. The UI is unintuitive, help is non-existent, and there are many unneeded steps to accomplish anything.

Using Deltek Costpoint

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.
