Deltek Costpoint Review
We switched from Quickbooks Online to Costpoint, hoping to automate our processes but instead have found ourselves unable to do simple tasks. I think we made the move too early and the system is just too big for our small company. We spend numerous hours a week working with consultants to essentially run our business and we still do not know how to do basic functions in the software.
Real time visibility and access into our data
Having Costpoint as our compliant ERP system has not only saved us the headache of worrying about compliance, saving cost but also it creates the opportunity for us to continue to grow as a small business. With real time visibility and access into our data, we can better plan and grow our business!
Connect and automate our business project lifecycle
Costpoint has helped us connect and automate our business project lifecycle with better data analysis, performance indicators, ease of accounting functionality, and major reduction of manual processes.
We are now able to streamline our processes integrating and automating
We are now able to streamline our processes integrating and automating our financial, project, contract, and business development information in a single solution. Our reporting abilities, invoicing speed, and invoicing efficiencies have improved dramatically. Right off the bat, we were able to avoid hiring an additional employee because of the efficiencies that Deltek gave us. Our financial auditors (both DCAA and 3rd Party External CPA rm) are much more comfortable with our reporting as well.

Easy to implement
We had a great Deltek sales representative. We worked with them and an industry partner to scope our implementation. Currently in implementation and things are going great so far! The future is bright!
Pros
DCAA Compliant, All in one integrated system from BD to contracts to accounting. Easy to implement. Their recent updates have been great, user interface as vastly improved over the past year.

it was severely labor intensive to complete one task
We were sold Deltek as the crown jewel of DCAA compliant accounting software but once we began rolling out the system, we realized it was quite the opposite. We found the software very archaic and complicated. It was severely labor intensive to complete one task and then if a mistake was made, trying to correct it was a nightmare. We felt like we needed an entire education just to be somewhat knowledgeable of the system. Overall it was a poor fit for our company.

Great features but costs starts adding up
There is alot to the system. We are just getting used to it. I like the way the program works after we became familar with it. Our consultants are not as knowledgable as we would like.
We are just getting our December balances back now in Febuary which tells you all you need to know.
Pros
The features are great and it does what we need. Alot better than the other options we looked at.
Cons
Expesnsive and we had to switch to an accountant that is familar with Deltek which is costing us more than our old one.

Not for the faint of heart
Our implementation consultants are having a difficult time implementing and converting our quickbooks data. This indicates that this is a difficult software to implement and use. It is not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of minute configurations and the transactions require a lot of data entry on multiple screens. A lot of data goes in, but it takes a very, very experienced resource to get anything out of it. Plan on hiring at least one resource for the sole purpose of admining and maintaining this application.
Pros
Integrated project management and financials
Cons
Clunky, cumbersome, not intuitive, hundreds of nooks and crannies
