Overall Satisfaction with Vista by Viewpoint

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across the entire organization. Was purchased to tie in all job costing and accounting with contracts, change orders etc. Before Procore - the majority of "construction" software is dressed up accounting software that doesn't really ever deliver 100% of whats needed. Viewpoint has the ability to satisfy what we were looking for at that time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Tracking
Easy Data Entry
Easy Check Run ability

Cons

Built In reports for any module outside of budget accounting are uninformative
Mobile access LACKS / Non Existent
Not engaging

Return on Investment

I see Viewpoint implementation as extremely positive. As I mentioned, their service team is EXCELLENT!
Custom Reports - Although having to wait several days, sometimes weeks in the queue for Viewpoint to create for us was a total bummer.
Very Easy to train on - Even 1-3 day Acct Temps would be able to log on and pick it right up.

Alternatives Considered

Procore and ViewPoint ProContractor

Vista isn't even in the same room as these 2 - million miles away. However, Procore and ProContractor don't have the accounting abilities or in depth report features that Vista has either. Vista is easier to implement in a large organization, licenses are less expensive than Procore or ProContractor too. So far, so good.

Other Software Used

Procore, Yardi Property Management, DocuSign

Likelihood to Recommend

I give it a 7 as the Viewpoint support staff BRINGS IT! Excellent excellent customer service and support.
After all of the software transition headaches were over and Viewpoint was implemented company-wide- we really started to see a difference in the at hand information we could produce for spur meetings or for end of year close outs.
