Terrible, Clunky UI
What do you like best about the product?
Nothing whatsoever. I cannot think of a redeeming quality for Deltek.
What do you dislike about the product?
The slow, clunky UI. Too many screens to click through to submit a single expense. Cannot delete lines on timesheet once saved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's easier for billing our clients for time and expenses.
great product

Working with Costpoint
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of navigation withing each application
What do you dislike about the product?
The reports cannot be converted to excel from within Costpoint. One has to either create a PDF and convert to an excel offline and also the system printing a cover page each time you select the print option. This should be an option one can turn off or chooses so as to save on paper.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Truing to use other software for report writing. The integration of T&E has helped tremendously in uploading timesheets directly to CP reducing errors and faster processing of labor distribution. Also being able to automatically export changes in the peoples application when you make updates back to T&E has also helped in reducing errors and duplicate entries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get the setup right from the beginning especially your project set up. A lot of errors are incurred with the initial setup and if you are a user and are not aware of the errors, you cannot be able to realise the impact this will have on your reporting and accuracy as you process your day to day work.
Deltek Time and Expense
What do you like best about the product?
Not much to recommend. They system is clunky with poor user interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Clunky user interface, slow, dated looking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time tracking and expense. No real benefits at this time
Deltek Timesheets
What do you like best about the product?
Honestly, I do not know how payroll was able to produce paychecks before programs like Deltek Costpoint were available. I can see how the paying of employees and taxes and project cost tracking processes are able to be handled by this program. From a user's perspective, I absolutely must enter my time on a daily basis, because tracking hours worked against project numbers is critical to my success. I'm located two time zones away from Corporate, so I really like the approval workflow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the layout - even when I stretch or shrink frames I'm error prone because there is too much scrolling required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Online is allowing me to meet deadlines even though I'm three time zones away from corporate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a Deltek user, enter your time every day.
Costpoint 7
What do you like best about the product?
I do not like Costpoint very much, but the ability to setup different plans, locations, etc. is pretty simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup of a new employee is convoluted. The system is not very user friendly, and there are several fields that need to be filled out in order to accomplish the same purpose. One field never drives another, and things cannot be pre-populated - at least not the way our company has it setup. Also, once and item is in a list, it cannot be made inactive. Our company has had a merger and several acquisitions so there are many values we no longer use, but need to be kept for historical purposes. We should be able to make those inactive so that they do not show up on lists for new hires. Since that cannot be done, we have to just know from memory what cannot be used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to calculate our payroll and drive our accounting and PTO. It can hold a lot of historical data which is nice, and while separate, the reporting from Cognos is pretty robust.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a robust system, but it is not user friendly. Make sure you have someone technical who will be using it.
Admin and User in Accounting
What do you like best about the product?
Project management for federal contracting and grantees which incorporates various agency reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
Interface is making it more user friendly. Helps coordinate with time and expense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to provide realtime data to program managers. Have implemented PO process that is initiated by the program staff directly in the system,.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I like the single signon integration. I'm waiting for the bugs to be worked out. As you move to a more user friendly processes, I think CP will begin to be all that we need. Also, we have multiple funders and it's not easy to make this work. If you could incorporate this functionality, I would be a very happy CP user.
CostPoint for Project based business
What do you like best about the product?
I am pretty impressed by the variety of capabilities of CostPoint to handle domain specific data of project based industries, specially the DCAA audit needs of GovCon industry. We highly recommend the ERP for all contractors in US and other countries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Too many session choices, I would have loved to attend ninety percent of them if not all
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We help GovCon industry to set the accounting and systems right, with DCAA audit support and Forward Pricing support. We find that CostPoint cannot be easily replaced by any other software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly customised for contracting industry
Enjoyed the experience for the last 15 years
What do you like best about the product?
The menu paths make sense to run day to day operations. Also, the reporting is simple to understand and also understood by DCAA.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cognos reporting seems cumbersome. Hard to locate the data I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Revenue Recognition.

Reduced cost of operations by moving to cloud based solution
