Accounting Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience with Deltek Vision" August 15, 2017 4.0 I overall enjoy the product, and have enjoyed it for many years now. I do recommend this software for project based industries, but I would like to see some reporting enhancements and more customization features. Pros It's a one-stop-shop for project management and HR. There really isn't a need for other software programs, and minimizes the use of Excel. It's so easy to use that it's hard to use, but once you understand it's basic functionality, you pretty much understand the way the software works. Cons If there's an option that I want, like adding a new billing status, that is not easy to do. Report writing should be an option all of the time- there are very specific reports that I want and it's not easy to get that-I usually have to pull 3-4 reports, export into Excel and format myself. I don't want to have to active the cloud, learn SQL server/Vision studio and reporting, and upload to be able to get the report that I want. Other than those things, the software is brilliant.

Finance Assistant Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Maconomy works" April 20, 2022 4.0 Pros I like the fact that it is a ERP, it allows us do almost anything regardless of the department Cons The bank reconciliation part of it is not really automated to help in bank reconciliation Review Source JS Jill S. Marketing Coordinator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not a functional Marketing Tool" August 4, 2017 3.0 In my position, I'm trying to use Vision as a Marketing Tool, and it simply does not work for that purpose. I'm hopeful the implementation of iAccess will solve some of our above mentioned issues, but right now this software is mainly beneficial as an accounting software. Pros With propoer training, it's not difficult to use. It keep all the information in one place, making it easier to locate. Cons 1\. Limited accessibility to retrieve/merge case studies and resumes 2. Not a user friendly Database – Hard to navigate 3. Outdated – has too many limitations (mobile apps, workflow) 4. No ability to track and categorized incoming leads for appropriate follow-up Review Source JS James S. Independant Lead Director of the Board Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "C-Suite View on State of the Business" August 16, 2017 5.0 Deltek provides a great single source software solution for managing and running a medium to large size professional services firms such as those in the engineering and architectural fields. It is important that the platform be used as closely to "out-of-the-box" as possible. While the system is customizable, it is best to use the configurability capability of the system and avoid significant customization of the product to reduce future pain from updates and system fixes. Pros The Deltek Vision platform provides an "One-Source" integrated package for the Executive team to understand the state of the business which combines data from accounting, sales and business development, marketing intelligence, project management, resource planning and HR and staff information and management tools without the need to integrate separate software solutions. The developing mobile platform and apps will further enhance this platform solution. Cons Prior to the introduction and development of the iAccess portal, the systems were cumbersome and difficult to use for the user that did not spend a majority of their time in the Deltek Vision Portal. Those challenges are quickly being addressed as iAccess portal is further refined and developed. Review Source EN Erin N. HRBP Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek in a nutshell" August 3, 2017 4.0 Pros There's definitely some ease of use here, and reporting on large volumes of data has been pretty easy. As a super user, I do find the security and time configs to be very easy (new users are super easy to set up). I've yet to set up some automation, but I know that once I do, my job will get quite a bit easier! Cons I wish there were easier ways to configure some of the presets (like report outputs), and the ability to run audit reports in a more functional manner. Historical records would be great to have, if you want to use this fully as a system of record. Review Source PA Peter A. Director of IT Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Integrated ERP" August 30, 2017 4.0 Pros Maconomy's best feature is that we have one software for our back office meaning everything happens in real-time. It has proven to be an information powerhouse, giving us access to information that was outside our grasp in our legacy system. Due to Maconomy's core project management focus, we have gained better visibility on contribution margin. This has lead us to new initiatives to optimize leverage on client projects and fine tune realization. Cons With a system as customizable as Maconomy, the ideas may be endless but the time you need to devote to testing new upgrades can be taxing. However, Deltek has been great at walking us through new functionality and is always there as a resource to help us through any issues that arise. Review Source AT Ashmit T. Business Intelligence Administator Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great ERP software for Accouting Firms" January 3, 2018 5.0 Pros Maconomy is an excellent ERP with all the modules built right into it. With its latest version, it is very easy for users to do billings and time entry. It also provides users with IT background to do their own extensions and make a modification to different workspace within Maconomy. It also has a built-in General Ledger feature where you can do all your financials from one place. Maconomy utilizes Business Objects as its reporting platform which makes it easier for users to get to the data they want in effieicnt manner. Cons Maconomy can be tricky to use sometime. Its a bit tough for the users without training to get used to all the different workspaces, modules and popups. Review Source MT Margaret T. Financial Analyst Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great, easy to use software!" August 17, 2017 5.0 The software works well, and if you take advantage of the workshops and learning tools, it can do a myriad of tasking for you, with reporting at your fingertips. Pros I love the windows based functionality. The product works well for all company sizes. We use it for government contracting and it is easy to set up and maintain. The support services are very good and the experts typically know their stuff. Cons It's expensive, and you pay extra for the top level support. Training does not come with the software package so you have to take their classes (for an additional fee) or hire a consulting team. We went with a consultant. Next time, I'd go with Deltek... Review Source TD Taylor D. Managing Consultant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Use" November 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Deltek Maconomy is easy to use and user friendly. It’s a one stop shop for project management and time keeping. Cons Sometimes it is slow and buggy but not unreliable. Review Source Mary Anne H. Analyst, Consulting Division Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Buggy way to manage timesheets" April 16, 2019 3.0 Pros It gets the job done. Visibility on hours spent on a project / utilisation seems easy. Cons Not integrated with other resourcing software e.g. Workday or Float. Slow and not intuitive when it comes to input. Always takes a while to load the project code, and I have to get the system dialog box to prompt me to enter the type of work done before the dropdown menu appears. Only IE is supported. Buggy. Review Source MM Meghan M. Payroll & Accounts Payable Specialist Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Relatively easy to use to get the job done." August 17, 2017 4.0 I like Deltek and have used it for years now It works well for what it is. Pros Great report compatibility. Looks rather self-explanatory making things easy to figure out without a lot of hassle. Really if you know what your doing this is a great system to use. Cons Feels a little out of date with the interface, but really its a good system and clean looking. It doesn't have a lot of flash and that's just right. Review Source MF Maggie F. Design Assistant Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Deltek everyday for Time Management and for Project Billing." August 3, 2017 4.0 Pros The ability to assign hours from project work plans is a tremendous help in keeping our projects profitable. Cons Interface could be more user friendly. It isn't very intuitive. I feel like there are a lot of features that I don't know how to use simply because I don't know they are there. Review Source AE Ali E. Marketing Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Being self-taught, Vision and I have come a long way in 14 years!" August 3, 2017 5.0 Pros The connectivity between modules and the fact that the interface doesn't change a lot (like other web-based platforms). Cons Not a good platform for sharing client intel, or prospecting pursuits. Had to go to another platform for those facets of the job. Review Source EH Elie H. Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well Designed and built ERP software, with High level of functionality" May 3, 2018 4.0 The Software price is slightly on the high level, However given the analysis ability that Maconomy offers makes the price/ quality ratio in the green Pros Gives the user a holistic view: Operationally and Financially Different Modules interlinked in a smart and easy to use manner The Financials could be dissected by Business unit or by company Supports multi-Currency with Automated DOE Cons The Human Resources Module needs some retouching in the time sheet analysis and reviews area The Assets Management Module doesn't support the smart tagging system Review Source CE Chelsea E. Project Specialist Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Deltek " August 3, 2017 3.0 Pros There are a lot of features that support project management. Iaccess is a nice touch for those who like visuals vs data. Cons There are still some processes that the system is not able to do for our company. There are a ton of updates which can throw off learning the system. Review Source LC Lynsey C. Project Coordinator Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I find Deltek to be an easy software that allows us to track work, schedules, and client information" August 3, 2017 4.0 Pros The program can be used for multiple things in regards to project work and organization, it is easy to use for timesheets Cons At times confusing to navigate and in both experiences my company has not given a clear breakdown of how it should be used Review Source MK Michael K. Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Archaic Meets Useless " March 19, 2020 2.0 Pros There are no pros to this software. It is incredibly hard to use and terribly designed. Design is the art of empathy and this software has NO EMPATHY for its users. Cons This software is from the 90's. I'm sure my company is paying some ridiculous licensing fee for it but EVERYONE complains about it. It is one of the worst timesheets software I have encountered. Review Source KT Keisha T. HR Assistant Philanthropy Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Love it!" August 3, 2017 5.0 Pros This product is very easy to use. We use this product everyday for our accounting system. Easy to teach also. Cons The only thing I like least about this product is sometime it will freeze up and we'll have to restart. But all programs freezes up from time to time. Review Source MC Mario C. Hochbauzeichner, Revit Konstrukteur Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Bad Software!" June 30, 2020 1.0 bad, very bad Pros Nothing! I think they have no UX-Designer at their company, the badest software which i worked with Cons It is extremely cumbersome to use, slow and sluggish, when errors occur it is not clear what exactly the error could be, projects do not show up in the search etc. Review Source AR Antionette R. Contracts Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Software" August 15, 2017 4.0 Pros Deltek is very user friendly and very easy to use. I've used several Deltek platforms through the years and I really enjoy there approach. It's easy to download almost any report as a word doc, excel doc or PDF. Cons It's really difficult to close jobs from the database, eventually server storage could be an issue. I wish Customer Service was better, however I have no problems recommending the product.

Senior Payroll Officer Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Maconomy - Hitek " February 3, 2025 4.0 I do end to end accounting with Maconomy and I like all of its functionality. Very inclusive software. Pros Been using it for almost 5 years and found it very excellent somewhat in lines with ERP. UI is also pretty easy to use and navhgate Cons I have a suggestion that Maconomy should have functionality of reading AP Invoices either via email or attachments for quicker processing which various new softwares in current times do have. Switched from [Citrix Workspace](https://www.capterra.com/p/220624/Citrix-Workspace/) Maconomy has everything under its hood so no need to have different softwares for different Accounting work. Review Source TS Tami S. Office Manager / Controller Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek user since about 2005." August 3, 2017 4.0 I would recommend this software. Honestly, I can't imagine business without it! Pros I'm a full service office manager in the Architectural / Engineering / Construction industry. I worked with Deltek Vision first and I absolutely LOVED the software! We updated from a very antiquated system to a full CRM and it was mostly seamless and allowed us to really clean up our data before migrating over (which was so valuable because it's a 70 yr old company). After about 6 months, I was chatting with the president of the company at a holiday party and he asked how I liked Vision and was very happy to hear me gushing about how much I loved it (I worked for a branch office). I never understood the old system and felt very lucky just to get my time sheet entered each week without 'issues'. It was so amazing to have our project marketing data connected to our accounting data! In 2013 I took a new job with a company that had recently migrated to Deltek Ajera (although, at the time, I'm not sure if Deltek owned it) and we only have the accounting system. It makes time sheets, payroll, and project accounting very easy but it does not incorporate marketing and leads and that sort of thing. I'm not sure how important it is to track that information from a financial standpoint but I feel very disconnected not having that information in Ajera (full project descriptions, project photos, employee photos and resumes, etc.) This is a small office and the President handles most of the marketing and he has a system that works for him but if it comes time to update I will definitely push hard for the full system! Customer service is great for the most part! I get someone on the phone within minutes and it's rare to have a problem they can't fix right then or remote into my computer to show me how. Cons With Ajera there are a few glitches but they're constantly updating and trying to work things out. There's a few annoying functions like when you try to get out of a screen it will make you hit save or cancel to get out (maybe just annoying for me because patience with tech is not my strong point). The one other issue that really bothers me is that we pay per year for support for all 7 employees but I'm the only one that ever uses it and not often. They told me that there's no way around that and I can't pay for just me. I think that's way too much money, especially considering I call them about once a month max.

Because everyone uses it, it's nice to be able to pull time and budgets across teams. However, I do think it could be improved from a user standpoint and could see some value it making it a little more robust. Pros For time tracking, Maconomy gets it done. It has what we need as a company and is organized in a very simple, neat way. It's clean and provides us with the basics. It is also very easy to look up projects within Maconomy to see how they are doing and pull project health reports – again, it's very simple so nothing fancy or other bells and whistles. Cons Maconomy is SO oddly configured that there are a handful of things from the user perspective that are just quirky or make it more difficult for me to do my job. It's just not as intuitive as other time tracking software. Sometimes if you do not log out before closing your window, you have to wait 5 minutes to get back in to track time. Other times, it makes you enter certain inputs before others in the project/time tracking process – which is not always what I want to do – and gives you an alert if you don't. It seems like an old software/interface but again, it gets the job done – I just think it could be improved. Review Source Joe M. Tax Manager Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "long implementation time, clunky " May 6, 2022 3.0 Pros online time entry option is good but flawed expense reporting on the app is good Cons Plan on a 2 year implementation time if you have any customizations. The web interface is very clunky and requires a ton of menu click through to accomplish basic tasks. Doesn't seem to be setup to handle the volume of projects that we are trying to track in the system. error messages on time entry do not always pop up when submitting time so you end up with un-submitted time that you don't know about. searching for projects in time entry is difficult as the search does not always return the expected results even when everything has been setup correctly. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effective although old-fashioned" April 8, 2022 4.0 As an HR user, I register new users. Also, I use it for holidays management. It works fine but is not the most advanced and user-friendly software, for HR at least. Pros Very stable, complete, and customizable to the company. Cons It's not the best software for HR. Very poor performance. It requires some training and some experience to use it confidently.
