There was very little training or support offered. If you needed help you had to log into their customer service portal and submit a case - and of course you had to make sure you had enough cases available (i.e. you have to pay to have cases to use for support). Although I did get a few customer support agents who went above and beyond, the majority of the time the support was slow and they just directed me to printed training guides which were not easy to follow. The system is not user friendly at all, it takes several steps in different parts of the system to make sure things are done rather than having automatic work flows. The time sheet module worked well on the employee side however a lot of setup and maintenance was necessary on the back end. I would not recommend this product except as a last resort for government contractors, if you do purchase it, make sure to have them include extra training and support cases up front. Pros Timesheet system has good features and is easy to use on the employee side. Some of the customer service reps were great and went above and beyond for help. Cons Very little training or support offered and only through customer service portal case submission. Not user friendly on the admin side with no automatic work flows and a lot of extra steps for anything that needs to be done. Review Source CH Cara H. Associate Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Software for Time Entry, Not the Best for Accounting" July 14, 2022 4.0 Pros I like how easy the software is to use. I think you can get by with using this software with very limited training on it. The search bar function allows you to look up by client number or name when entering time, which speeds the time reporting process. Also, the expense entry is a great design. I love that you can easily attach a receipt to an expense line, and even just snap a picture from the app. It is a great system to use across a large firm with many different jobs, whether performing billable or non-billable work. Cons Specific to my industry (accounting), I would prefer a better timer system. In other software I have seen, you can go straight from a timer to posting it to the client with ease. However, there are a few more steps from going from a timer to posting it to your timesheet in Deltek. In an industry that works on less clients each day, this will be less of an issue.

I have been a part of the implementation team for two companies and it was night and day once deltek came online. Things I learned: Tips: 1) Run at least a 3 month if not a 6 month parallel with your old system, with your old system generating the live invoices. 2) Work out any bad numbers or problems in your old system, the one you know well, before migrating to the new system 3) Project set is the key. The system is based on how the project is originally set up, so make sure your staff is 100% comfortable in performing the project set up. 4) Have someone on staff who has gone through an implementation before, is very helpful. Pros Project detail - The ability to understand the financial picture of your project or company from the highest level down to the charging level. Government bids - Allows the company to bid on Cost Plus type contracts with the confidence that the cost will be tracked and be reported to the Government's satisfaction. Cons It is not a system you can sit down and in a couple of days figure it out intuitively. It is conceptually difficult to understand, if you have never used a system like this one. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Production Coordinator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Maconomy User Review" January 3, 2019 4.0 Pros Maconomy is a great program for any medium to large size company that deals with a wide range on clients. From the employee side, on Maconomy you're able to track jobs, track invoices, submit expenses, and do time sheets all in one platform. It's great since you're able to access so many resources all in one program. Cons I find that the overall look and interface of the software is very outdated and could use a refresh. Another con is that often times the software crashes, making you loose your progress and having to restart again. Review Source MK Michael K. Senior Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have been using and implementing Deltek for nearly 20 years. I have extensive experience in using it. Overall is a solid solution but does not compete with modern ERP such as oracle EBS, SAP, Netsuite etc." August 3, 2017 4.0 Don't dislike but feel there are better solutions out there. Pros Good for government and institutions including NPO as well as government contractors. Been around for decades and has a good useage base and good name with users. Customer support is fair but. It great. Cons Old, lacks modern UI and true SaaS model. Does not play nice with Salesforce. Built for 20 years ago, not for today. Customer service and support needs a major overhaul. Review Source Obumneme O. Engineer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome Product" March 7, 2018 5.0 Pros The platform is user-friendly and the report system is top-notch. Getting information on a project is easy courtesy of the project command centre. Cons They offer little training on how to use the software, they offer customer support only through customer service portal case submission. The backend is not user-friendly Review Source OT Ola T. Office Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Deltek Review " August 16, 2017 4.0 Pros I've been using this software for over 11 years for Accounting, Time sheets and Expense Reports. The system is easy to navigate and I only had to walk through the steps one time when showing a newbie how to navigate the system. I give it a thumbs up. Cons The only problem that i have discovered is that a few of our employees using the mobile app upload their receipts on their phone. that shows indicates its in the and there might be a glitch in the system that once it shows you have an attachment but when reviewing it i get an error message that there is no attachment to view. Review Source DM Dana M. Senior Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Senior Accountant Likes the Software" August 17, 2017 4.0 It's been a few years since I have used the software but from what I remember it was a great product. Pros There are so many different modules that can be set up and all used together to get reporting done accurately. I liked that the employees travel reports could be entered and reviewed. I liked all of the different options for what reports we could run. It has a lot of options you just have to figure out how to use the product to get the most out of it. Cons Setting up some of the modules was time consuming and a little difficult. Maybe a better training or a video could be done for hands on help. Review Source BR Brady R. Programmer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Programmer/DBA/Appication Specialist" August 3, 2017 4.0 Pros It's the standard by which most of the architecture world operates. Once put in place correctly with the right amount of resources it will remain stable. It covers all of our needs and continues to improve over time. Cons The primary product is still bound to the IE browser. For a large firm with lots of power users it requires a great deal of resources for it to work with any level of speed and reliability. There are many defects that are not corrected in new versions. It still looks boring and basic, very Windows 95. Review Source KB Kris B. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product & Vendor to work with " October 26, 2017 5.0 Pros As a back office user and administrator, I like the integrated solution. It means quicker invoicing process and tighter controls. Cons The upgrade process is very labor intensive. It does get easier with each upgrade now that we have Super users and better documentation. Review Source KR Karen R. Billing Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This product has made invoicing and project tracking a breeze!" August 15, 2017 5.0 I enjoy working with this software. It has made a huge impact on efficiency in our office. I have recommended to others and will continue to do so! Pros The software is user friendly and reporting is on point. The Project Command Center makes getting information on a project easy. Cons We have contracts with multiple tasks. Each task under a contract has to be entered into the system as a project. Which is fine because we need to track each task but it would be nice if we could track the contract as a whole too. Review Source TW Terri W. Treasurer/Corporate Secretary/Sr. Accountant Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time Ajera/Axium User" August 7, 2017 4.0 The software is becoming a little more layman friendly with widgets, etc. It is very helpful for project managers to be able to access their data easily. Pros The product is very robust and can be used from small firms to larger firms. Deltek purchased this software from Axium and appears to be improving the product vigorously. Cons The biggest con is the inability to split out closed jobs from the database. The database just continues to grow and grow and becomes a problem for server storage. Review Source BS Britt S. Forretningssupporter Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MAC" March 10, 2021 3.0 Pros Good for project management eventhought it is not so easy to use Cons Not very easy to use and eventhougt old system with something is not working Review Source NB Nina B. Billing Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A users perspective" August 4, 2017 3.0 Overall, Deltek is an efficient tool for production of mass invoicing as is used in my department. If some of the data entry screens could be minimized and yet produce the same outcome, it would save time to focus on other tasks. Pros Extraction of invoices is quick and efficient. It is a tool that can be used throughout the entire accounting department. Cons There are too many screens for the set-up process for client invoicing. Some screens require the same information to be entered multiple times. Review Source JH Justin H. Controller Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek is a great feature rich, well supported software package " August 3, 2017 5.0 Very well run company with great products Pros MAconomy is a great project management software, it is easy to learn, it has great reporting capabilities Cons Deltek's products are not the cheapest software around but they are still a very good value prop and ROI Review Source SS Summer S. Marketing Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Marketer looking for project details in Deltek" August 17, 2017 3.0 Pros The software seems to be powerful. It combines project accounting, resource management, project management, time/expense management and business development in one product. Deltek is easily accessible in it's web-based format. Cons Too many places to look for the information that I need. Reports generated include far too much irrelevant information. Not NEAR user-friendly enough for 'general use'. Review Source SG Steven G. Project Accountant Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision - The good and the bad" August 3, 2017 3.0 Pros Vision is very user friendly. For accounting work, there are a lot of reporting options and customization. Also, being able to export reports into Microsoft excel or a PDF is very helpful. Interactive Billing is also a great tool. Cons Even with all of the customization, sometimes there are too many options to choose from. It makes it tedious sometimes to get to the right options for reports. Review Source RB Ran B. Office Management Supervisor Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not very intuitive" August 15, 2017 2.0 it would be nice if when you hover over buttons it can give you ideas or options. Pros Our company has integrated its use for accounting, payroll and HR. The timecard/expense module works pretty well. Cons It is not user friendly in my opinion, things are buried especially when running reports. It could be visually more pleasant as well similar to the mobile app. Review Source KM Kristi M. Finance Support Analyst II Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Maconomy " November 20, 2019 3.0 Pros Ability to go to the cloud, Iaccess, touch Cons Slowness, a little clunky, lots of waiting Reason for choosing Deltek Maconomy Recommended Review Source SK Samantha K. Controller Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've been recommending Deltek for years!" August 3, 2017 5.0 Pros The customer support, ease of use for Government Contractor's as well as the affordability. I've been a user for almost 20 years off and on. Cons Some minor glitches, though I am a believer that no software is perfect so I've been using it at all the GC's. Review Source KT Kim T. Accounts Payable Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounts Payable" August 4, 2017 4.0 Pros Customer Services Support is very helpful. Cons Need to review for 1099 forms. I had a big problem when I tried to print 1099 forms for every year. I am hoping it's making easier for future use. I was unable to reconcile with checks printing & 1099 forms. Review Source MC Marsha C. Admin Asst Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ajera does everything we need!" August 3, 2017 5.0 Love this product Pros Our employees are required to put in their own time and expense on their computer or their smart phone Cons some of the customer service people are hard to understand. sometimes reaching customer service is difficult. Review Source CC Cristie C. Financial Controls Administrator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for small companies" August 3, 2017 5.0 Pros Processing is quick and very user friendly on the tracking and data entry side. Technical support was wonderful Cons Set up/Start up was a little confusing in the beginning of the project but technical support was very helpful Review Source JC Janeane C. Accounts Payable Analyst Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very user friendly." August 16, 2017 4.0 Over all I think Deltek is very user friendly and easy to learn. Pros When using this software, it is easy to maneuver from one screen to another. You don't have to close out of a section you are working in to go into another section. You can customize the cells to your preferences of entering. Cons There are not enough options to create reports and pull certain information. There were better reporting options in Costpoint 6. This makes it more time consuming because you have to use other programs such as Cognos to get all the information that you need to do your job. Review Source CM Cathy M. Office Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best resource for our firm!" August 17, 2017 5.0 Pros We love the ease of use. The accessibility of accessing Vision anywhere, not just at the office. PM's love being able to stay on top of their projects profits.
