Overall Satisfaction with Viewpoint Spectrum

Viewpoint Spectrum is our main accounting system. We utilize all aspects General Ledger, Job Cost, AP, AR, Cash Management, Purchase Orders, as well as Service Work Orders.
  • Easy to navigate
  • Document Imaging
  • Database tools like info-link
  • Crashes when too many tabs are open
  • Split screen would be a good feature, as we're limited to one monitor in Viewpoint.
  • KPI's on dashboards make it easy to track how people are doing in their roles.
  • Document Imaging helps avoid digging for paperwork, more efficient.
  • Analytics gives very detailed and customizable reports, but is not very user friendly.
Most areas are straight forward. There are times when I want to do something from a different angle, and it doesn't allow that flexibility.
Not yet. We are looking at other modules, such as HR, that will help streamline our overall processes.
Viewpoint is much more user friendly than Sage 300, but is more limited (less customizable). It is not easy to get custom reports out of Viewpoint, whereas Sage is perfect for customization. With that comes more attention to detail in Sage, from all users, to avoid erroneous data representations. For that reason, I think Viewpoint is easier to manage and control.

Yes

Did Viewpoint Spectrum live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Viewpoint Spectrum go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Viewpoint Spectrum again?

Yes

Viewpoint is user friendly. As the Controller, I appreciate that it prevents users from making too many errors, unlike other software solutions I've used. There are a limited number of ways to do things, which is great for preventing errors, but then it is not flexible to do things "outside the box".
