Overall Satisfaction with Viewpoint Vista
I use Viewpoint in a variety of ways. I regularly use their Payroll, HR, AP, AR, Cash Management, Job Cost, Equipment, and General ledger modules. The learning curve for Viewpoint was steep at the beginning, but after using it for almost two years the knowledge is invaluable. There are many resources to help you understand the software and become more comfortable with the programs and reports you will use. For almost any issue there is a program or report you can use in Viewpoint that will allow you to extract or locate the information you are looking for. Once you are familiar with the reports, you can find anything you will need. Viewpoint tracks payroll information and tax information very effectively and allows you to access it easily and without hassle.
- Their reports are very helpful in looking at different areas. Specifically for me, I can look at timecards, payroll for the week, or look at specific people/accounts for the month or year. The reports make it easy to find the information you are looking for.
- Set up is quite simple in most cases. Once you have set up, for example, a deduction, liability, or earning code you can update them as needed without any issues.
- Most of the programs are straight forward and easy to use. Once you know where to go, you can do anything with them. It makes data collection very simple.
- Viewpoint can be quite slow on some of their programs. It can take a long time to process or extract information that you need.
- Viewpoint updates regularly, but their updates usually result in messing up another process.
- Their reports can provide too much information or not be specific enough. In most cases they are fine, but in the equipment module specifically, they can be lacking.
- Viewpoint has increased efficiency
- Viewpoint has helped standardize our systems
- Viewpoint has allowed us to decrease time spent on manual processes
The data is very accurate and is pretty up-to-date. I think you will run into issues if you are trying to find payroll information before it has been posted, but in almost any scenario the information has been there to help you figure out whatever issue you are looking at.
I personally have not used another ERP system other than Viewpoint Vista. I am sure there are others out there, but from listening to my managers experiences before Great Basin Industrial implemented Viewpoint, the other options were less superior to what Viewpoint offers. I think if you are looking for an ERP system in the construction industry, then Viewpoint is the way to go.
