Overall Satisfaction with Viewpoint Spectrum

I'm accounts receivable for a general engineering contractor (which you don't have a box for) I've been working in Construction accounting over 35 years. Viewpoint Spectrum in my opinion is the worst accounting program I've ever used! The training was an absolute waste of time in my opinion as I believe the "trainers" didn't have a clue as to what we do and what our needs are. Nor did they even appear to care in my opinion. I found emails sent to them requesting help with reports (which are also useless) and we were sent "suggestions" instead of anyone taking the extra step to address our needs. I believe we were sold garbage. In my opinion, the help menus are difficult, clunky and cumbersome. I would not recommend Viewpoint Spectrum to anyone in my opinion.
  • nothing in my opinion
  • help menus
  • reporting
  • In my opinion, un-user friendly
  • In my opinion, the initial set-up and training a joke
  • Had to "pay" for help that we shouldn't have to pay for in my opinion.
  • Screens can't tab to fields; non existent shortcuts; have to "mouse" fields and hilight or nothing can be entered in my experience. Extremely inefficient in my opinion.
  • In my experience, Retention doesn't show on Draw Billing screen unless you "override" retention on every line item. Otherwise, you can't see the amounts on the screen in my experience.
  • In my experience I can't adjust "templates" to delete fields not used; e.i tax
  • Inefficient in my opinion
  • In my experience, it hampered productivity
