ANALISTA CONTABLE Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Important business data in real time." April 26, 2018 5.0 I am using Deltek Vision to identify problems affecting the performance of our company and hinder the successful implementation of some projects. I am also taking advantage of useful features to improve performance and complete projects successfully. Pros What I like about Deltek Vision modules are purchasing and asset management because they allow me to track purchase orders and fixed assets; It helps me to get new business, improve performance and optimize the operations of our company. Cons For some people within the company's user interface it is not always so friendly and does not have much ability to change the screen size. In addition, it may not be ideal for companies that only require specific modules, since all the modules are included in the software. Review Source TL Tiyana L. Vice President - HR Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vision to Vantagepoint" November 20, 2019 5.0 We were using Excel for timesheets so having time and expense in one place and tying into our business process is wonderful. We also have the ability to get nice reports. Pros The software helps streamline some of our processes. Cons Not easy to navigate through CRM but here to learn. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) We were told our company was too small for QB and it was recommended that we move to Great Plains. Took a minute but then moved to Deltek Vision in 2009 Review Source SS Shawna S. Business Development and Marketing Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A fine option for smaller firms who are not integrating advanced CRM options" April 12, 2025 3.0 deltek vision was better than other competitors but it has a long way to go to being a user friendly and top project management/customer database organization tool. Pros i liked that it integrated time tracking with project managmenet Cons it was not very user friendly from everything from search to the userface Review Source Victoria S. GD Project Manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not Updated but gets job done" October 9, 2023 5.0 Good, but upgrades and updates need to be prioritized Pros Organization and visualization capabilities Cons Not modernized at all, seems like it’s running through an early 2000’s model Review Source Ifeoma O. Developer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Deltek makes us better manage project budget." July 9, 2018 4.0 Pros Deltek is easy to use ,thanks to the intuitiveness of its user interface. In time past we overly expended on projects to the extent that we crossed project budgets ,and thereby missed key project milestones. Since switching to Deltek over a year ago ,we have been able to better follow through with project budgets without overspending. Obviously having project planning, business development and Accounting together into one platform was very much helpful. We have been able to customize the Deltek Workflow to fit into the personal needs of my team ,thereby making much more effective. Cons From experience so far , Delteck Vision expense reporting is flawed in the area of mobility , receipt uploads ,and ease of customization. Review Source Nathan B. Environmental Scientist Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used it for years, HR seems to like it, but it's complicated as hell for PMs" April 4, 2018 2.0 Pros It keeps up with as many projects as we have - and we've got a bunch! We use it to track hundreds of projects, and it never crashes/drops - it's been very stable for us, and if you can understand how to ask for the right data, the reports are pretty helpful. Cons Understanding how to ask for the right data is very challenging sometimes. It's also hard to catch typos or other mistakes - it would be really nice if it has some inteligence, and could say "hey, you've charged time for the past month to project number 1234.5, and this month you're charging time to 12345 - is that a typo?" Review Source Joseph M. Senior Escalation Technician Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Phenomenal support and very expansive software set " July 12, 2018 5.0 Pros Very responsive, very good support and never ending modules to make employees lives easier. We are currently using the Time and Expense mobile apps with little to no challenges. Setup took a bit of work but support was there ever step of the way. Any problem is corrected within hours instead of days. Cons Due to the complexity and versatility it is not as point and click for install or use as some other products. This is a very welcome trade off for me and my company as the benefits outweigh the cons. Review Source Ashlee N. Customer Service Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient and easy to use" November 20, 2023 5.0 Overall experience is 7 out of 10. Would recommend Pros Able to document time worked. Also the ability to use different codes for vacation time. Cons It’s not automatically documented. Have to manually out time it with codes Review Source Daisy C. Research & Sales Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### " I manage projects very easy" April 17, 2018 4.0 Great! Pros It is a very good platform that allows us to keep up with our projects without any problem. I think the reports that this facilitates are very efficient and quite useful Cons between projects it is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between projects, that is, to separate work and make it look different from another project. But in general lines I have not had any problem Review Source Jack G. Associate Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Review" July 23, 2019 4.0 Pros The interface is very user friendly and allows everyone the ability to use it. Cons It is basic in nature so there is not much diversity allowed in the product. Review Source CC Connie C. Business Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision Review" March 2, 2017 5.0 Pros The value for us is the information that is available. We have been using Vision for over 10 years and the future changes will make it so much more user friendly for PM's and occasional users. Cons PM's have been slow to adopt due to the perception that is not user friendly, with the addition of iAccess this has been eliminated. Review Source AM Amy M. Clerk Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Amy's review" January 22, 2025 5.0 It has been great. I learned a lot using Deltek Vision. It is a new experience and has good features. Pros I enjoy the features and the easy access of Deltek Vision. Cons Nothing, it is easy to use and has good quality. Review Source DP David P. Chief Financial Officer Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Twelve Years as a Deltek User" November 15, 2016 5.0 In 2004, the professional services firm I worked for was managing a $10M/year business using Quickbooks. It was clunky and problematic, with no real analytic capability (i.e., where and how were we making money). I investigated various solutions, and discovered Deltek Vision. We hired an outside consultant to install and configure Vision for us,and life changed. We suddenly had a true business management solution. As the CFO, I finally had a tool that could give me true insight into the underpinning of our business,and where were profitable (and where we were not). Two years later, at a architectural firm, I inherited Axiom Protrax, practically a DOS-based solution. I quickly tired of operating with a 20-year old platform, and advocated for Vision. Having experienced one implementation,I was not enthused with dropping $60K for an outside party to tell me what to do to configure the system. So, over three months,I single-handedly configured and implemented Vision at a 50-person architectural firm. And it has made all the difference. Vision has continued to grow, through internal development and outside acqusition, and through it all they have maintained a consistent look and feel to the product. Adding functionality without detracting from the user experience. And their customer support has remained top-notch. I love the quick chat. If I just have a quick question, I can go quick chat, and quickly resolve my issues. I love this produce, and it meets the needs of my business. Pros The user experience. The ability to customize the interface. The ability to quickly drill down into reports. Cons It is such a rich,deep product that some of its functionality remains unused. Review Source NG Nicole G. Office Administrator/Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision Review" March 20, 2017 2.0 Some of the areas are easy to use but some stuff is hard to find and add. It would be better to have simple terms and explanations in order to add information or search boxes, we have trouble sometimes configuring reports. The layout seems simple but it is actually kind of confusing. I would like to be able to change things and have more control to manipulate and still be able to run the reports under my projects. We are working and figuring it out as we go but still having trouble figuring out how to populate the information we are looking for because it is what we think it is. Also, sometimes it is hard to add in things because it is hard to figure out what sub area that item would be in. Overall I just feel the product could be a little more user friendly for running reports and customizing things. We are trying to incorporate Vision more this year to get the rest of our team on board so I hope to learn more as we go, but I still find that ultimately it takes a lot of time to figure some of the things out just because it isn't really intuitive at all. I think vision should go around and meet with those using the product to see what more they could change to make it more user friendly. It is hard to explain over a written review. I will say however, that the program does work great for tracking projects invoices and such so overall on that part I am satisfied. Pros Tracking projects Cons Not intuitive when it comes to customizing and running reports. Too many sub areas and can be hard to find the right thing. Review Source SG Sarah G. Marketing manager Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great to Track Project Data, but Graphics are Dated" August 1, 2022 3.0 Works great for timesheets, tracking project data, and expense reports. Just don’t expect the program to be anything fancy or flashy Pros Great resource for keeping tabs on project data/business development/customer database for All clients. Haven’t delved into the project management components myself, but hear that they are pretty good too. Cons For a software to support the architecture world I am floored at how ugly and dated the interface looks. We have some architects who think it looks too ugly and refuse to use it which is a massive headache. Would love to see it get a redesign or face lift. Also it’s difficult to see longer project names - they get cut off in the scroll view. Pulling reports isn’t super intuitive either Review Source SM Sandra M. Billing Coordinator Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision is user friendly" December 16, 2021 5.0 Overall experience was it was easy to use once you knew how to use it. Pros I was able to find clients easy all I had to do was type the name in the search box and it came up or not. Cons I found out that running a report wasn't easy from me especially what I was looking for. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A workhorse with a lot more features than I ever use" November 14, 2018 4.0 I sometimes consider Deltek a necessary evil, but it is as good a software as I have seen and used. Pros Deltek has been the tracking software of choice and previous firms I worked at. To me it is the standard for tracking time spent on projects and for tracking project performance. The ability to track an analyze multiple employees' input is beneficial. As a project manager, my interface was tracking and project planning. Accounting and management used Deltek extensively to track project and firm performance. Cons Deltek can do a lot of things, and can easily get very confusing for staff who may not have extensive software training in its functionality. Review Source DH Debra H. Senior Staff Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Searching for data results in quick results, good report generation feature, easy to edit." November 7, 2017 5.0 Information about each project such as who is the PM, lead architect, lead accountant, project location, legacy data, status, etc. is essential to our business. We can easily search for all current projects in any city, state, province, country. Our PMs use this to keep track of payments, invoices, employees assigned to the project, budget data, and documents stored on our servers can be linked from within a record. We can view other projects for the vendor or client. Pros It allows me to have three databases open. In my case, Projects, Employees and Timesheets. It's great to toggle between them without having to log out and in again. Data retrieval is quick. It allows me to search for very specific information so my results don't overwhelm. Data access is controlled at the user level so people cannot edit fields without proper permission. Before Vision, we used a database that contained project numbers that were preserved in the Vision database. So if we need to look up project data based on the old number, we are able to. This saves us a lot of time. Cons It is difficult to learn this software on your own beyond searching. There are so many features that allow us to look at the data in several ways. Most of those ways are unknown to me so training is required. I would suggest that companies provide proper training before implementing it firmwide to avoid frustration. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sr. Consultant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used this software to report time and expenses for many years." November 9, 2017 5.0 It captures time and expense data very thoroughly. I like that there is a field for every detail you would need to enter. Pros When configured properly this software is very user friendly and intuitive. There are a lot of features that not everyone will need but certainly useful if you take the time to learn it. Cons I can't think of anything I don't like about this software. The insert function inserts a new line item below instead of above the line selected but that is just a tiny bit annoying. I'm over it. Review Source RW Rob W. Accountant Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Could build an aircraft carrier with this software or use it to run a small destroyer, depending on your needs." August 31, 2017 4.0 Overall as compared to the other 5 ERP systems I have used over the years I have to say Vision is one of the best out there, especially for project oriented tracking. Deltek is also a company looking for improvement and advancement within their programs. The new generation they are working on to Vision takes the program to a very modern and more robust place. Great things are coming! Pros Has the ability to be customized in many ways to improve functionality and process routine tasks behind the scenes with workflows. Great when you want scheduled reports to be pushed out to staff on a regular basis, can be either be emailed or sent to a dashboard. System is fairly easy to use and navigate once you get the hang of it. However, the size and capability can be off putting if you give too much access to none power users. Cons Although there are many reports and lots of options within each report they can also be limiting. For example if you wanted to run an A/R graph for aging you can only choose three options (Current, 30, & 60 days). Therefore if you have five options (Current, 30+, 60+, 90+, 120+) you will need to run two graphs to see all the info. However, if you have someone who know SQL you can design and write your own reports which is a plus. Review Source KN Katherine N. Project Leader Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Deltek Vision ERP Implementation needs an onsite professional" November 15, 2016 4.0 The controller left December 31st. The company went live February 1st. I began February 6th and I had never seen Deltek Vision before that day. Deltek Vision is a powerful, project management software which can help you have almost real-time visibility into all aspects of your business. Hi, my name is Kathy Nixon and I am a CPA, a PMP, and a professional coach. Post-acquisition mergers of systems, processes, and teams is my niche. This assignment had me serving as interim corporate controller of a $130M+ Revenue company who was merging its three companies currently on Quickbooks all into one system, Deltek Vision. Greatest take-aways: 1. Designate a Subject Matter Expert. It can be a Deltek Vision consultant or a third-party consultant with heavy Deltek Vision experience. 2. Develop a Steering Committee across all company disciplines and meet weekly. Decision making and joint buy-in is important. 3. Communicate, Communicate, Communicate. Communication to all areas of your organization is imperative to the success of the implementation. 4. Train, review, test, train some more. It takes a village to raise this child. 5. Designate or hire a project manager. For success, you need someone focused on all areas of this software's implementation. Setup, testing of setup, training, input, verify input accuracy, invoicing, collections, accounting and financial reporting. 6. Expect 6 months (to a year) before everyone is onboard. 7. Develop a budget which includes 5 times the software's cost. Yes, five times. It is a pay me now or pay to correct it later proposition. Good luck! Wishing you success. Let me know how I can help. Review Source IR Isaac R. Business Development Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Customizable and Functional" February 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Our firm has customized our version of Vision to the point where it does everything we need it to do in a much more efficient way. The way we can organize our pursuits, projects, and clients is streamlined. Cons I think there are some classifications and fields that we could use that speak to other databases within Vision. Being able to link certain items easier would be nice. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Information Technology Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision works when you need it too. " December 2, 2018 4.0 I inherited a pretty customized Vision, which was not reliable. Once stripped back to bone stock, the application never has issues it seems. Pros Their in house support is excellent. They understand the importance of their software running efficiently for customers to have success. Cons What I like least is that we have to go through a reseller to renew each year instead of direct. Review Source GB Ginger B. Administrator Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Monopoly" January 20, 2020 4.0 We've been doing business with Deltek now for around 20 years. If another software company develops a competitive product with full project basis accounting at a reasonable price, we'd probably switch, if they have a good customer service team. Nothing beats the ability to just pick up the phone and call. Pros deltek allows us to track our time and expenses on a project basis. We can achieve time tracking, billing, and General Ledger activities within one software. Cons Deltek Vision is built for large organizations. It is cumbersome in a small office setting to maintain all of the text libraries. The customer service requires that you submit a case online if you need assistance, and then wait for a response, which oftentimes is not timely. Review Source SW Stephanie W. Accountant Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek Vision has everything an A&E firm needs to run its daily business. From project planning on." June 26, 2017 4.0 Pros Everything that you need is in one software program. You can plan a new project, see which employees are available to sssign tasks to, and run payroll all with out leaving the software. Reports, including custom reporting, is quick and as easy as selecting what you want the report to show and hitting preview. From there you can print or save as either a PDF or as an excel spreadsheet which makes the reports even more versatile. With the addition of iAccess it's helping the 'away-from-the-office' employees be able to check time sheets and project info from anywhere. Cons The learning curve for implementing features not previously used is a little steep. There's not a lot of "free" tutorials for setting up features to begin with, although you can find quite a bit of information about using features once you have them set up correctly.
