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 JM Jules M. Data Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Super helpful detailed reports for forecasting." December 23, 2024 5.0 Efficacy for our employees time and expenses tracking. Dependable on our forecasting. Pros It's exemplary to it's detailed reports for effective compliance and forecasting. Cons Great for time and expense tracking for employees. Review Source CS Cooper S. Architectural Historian Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clunky but great" October 3, 2024 4.0 Pros Deltek Vision readily does its job, just as it should. IT can be a bit clunky at times, but its a simple program. Cons The program can often be a bit clunky, often taking more time to do simple tasks than other programs, but overall, its an extremely great software overall Review Source RL Rhonda L. Manager, CRM Systems Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I'm a believer in Deltek Vision" June 27, 2017 4.0 Pros We use Vision for CRM and Proposals-Custom Proposals and Government forms. I love the connectivity between your firms, contacts with your opportunities and jobs. Using Vision enables us to store and retrieve our corporate history and the story of us...our projects, our people and our client relationships. I confess I am a power-user and have done most of the configuration to the system, so therefore understand it more than most others, but I can provide data of any kind from our system. We are integrated with a different accounting platform, so I can also provide up-to-date project reporting. We also use an intranet connector that makes our information easily obtainable/viewable through PC and mobile app (not the Deltek mobile app). I have used the Deltek Vision product since 2005 and had prior Deltek products since the late 1990's. Dewberry is a 2,000 person firm with 50 office locations in 18 states. Cons Although I live and breathe Deltek Vision, numerous people at our firm just can't grasp the details and complain that it is not user friendly. The learning curve seems slow for some people to overcome, actually many people, but once it's figured out, there seems to be high value in their usage. I like the custom reporting tool but my users find it so difficult that most refuse to use it. I think the most successful firms will have a Vision expert and a strong IT (SQL, reports) and application team on staff. If not, you probably would need a consultant. My team has been able to keep everything in house to date. Review Source SM Susan M. Self Employed Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used Vision's General Ledger primarily in my role to produce month end and year end financial stmts." January 10, 2018 4.0 Pros The general ledger was easy and logical for an accountant. The work breakdown structure allowed for reporting consolidated reports as well as subsidiary level, office level, and departmental reports. Vision handled large amounts of transactions and data efficiently. Vision offers functionality to do time sheets and expense reports remotely. Vision has great security features that can remove access to certain areas or information based on an employees role in the Company. It is easy to remove rights immediately when employees leave the Company. In addition, roles can control who can make changes or post transactions. Vision allows for automated reporting. For example, an Accounts Receivable report can be automatically sent to an employee's email on a scheduled basis. Cons The software is not logical for non-accountants. The software is primarily for A'E firms but very difficult for those users. Most of the engineers are unable to write and run project reports. When they do get a report, the report isn't easily understood. The software is difficult to support internally and requires a database specialist to get maximum value. Vision contains a massive amount of data but the canned reports do not always offer the different types of data in same report. Unless you can write custom reports, you will have to pay expensive consulting fees. Review Source IS Imran S. Senior Financial Advisor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Fully Integrated Solution Software with Great Features" March 27, 2019 5.0 Deltek Vision has a database where I can put all my information for each assignment / project. Deltek for me is a fully integrated service product that can provide Managers, Heads and other office staff detailed information about the financial status of any department or segment in real time. Pros Deltek Vision has easy to use tools that allow all the operators – from high level Managers to back office staff members the ability to view and understand where the company’s resources and project budgets stand at any given time. Deltek Vision allows a lot of customization and flexibility that can be very helpful for any individual in his company. One amazing feature is that Deltek Vision provides extensive functions of project management all in one single program like expense reports, budget planning, time sheets, auditing etc. Managing work utilization is very useful for me because a lot of my team members are spread in distinct locations throughout the country who are working on the same project. Cons A major flaw of Deltek is that the system's outlook is very outdated. I personally felt that Deltek Vision was lacking in the expense report department. Reports are very hard to export. Even so, when I export the reports to excel, the formatting is completely undesirable, and I must spend a few minutes to format them. Review Source JS Jeff S. Director of Finance Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Could be a lot more user-friendly" April 14, 2017 3.0 The following is my opinion and I am not speaking on behalf of my company as most of my years with Deltek were before I joined Rockwell: I have used Deltek for over 12 years and my experiences vary by the module. Newer modules such as project planning or online T&E are notorious for being excessively buggy. For many years my company avoided project planning based on reputation alone. The latest version of the planning module also was introduced with a serious lack of error prevention and trapping - such as allowing project plans to be edited in resource planning while the user is in the plan. Although some bugs are unavoidable, they are excessive and notorious in Vision which is frustrating to the user. The help documentation is serious lacking in explanative detail and the search feature is abysmal - the results are often totally unrelated to what your search phrase is - and often it locks up before you get there. It is a shame because I think there are good features in Vision that people don't get to - such as workflow - because the poor documentation requires the hiring of consultants. Maybe this is by design, but it is too costly to keep doing this. The accounting module is an example of a module that is solid as are others. And I find the people that handle the help and chat services to be dedicated and as helpful as possible. Pros Reliable for accounting and basic functions Cons Not user-friendly and requires a consultant to get into more complex areas unless you have someone on staff that has sufficient experience. Review Source bA bob A. Director of R&D Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Vision Essentials review" April 5, 2017 3.0 We purchased deltk vision module to help us do project and resource planning of our critical engineering resources. We are medical supplier and using deltek to help us align project planning functions to resource draw. Our business is very dynamic due to customer, regulatory and market dynamics. Needless to say what starts out as a plan can change many times over. The linkages between the planning and the resource capacity assesments and reports are great. The Planning portion of deltek seems underdeveloped. Simple functions like a undo button dont exist. Comparisons of users who lived in a MS Project environment prior to deltek complain about simple functionality. I know there are upgrades coming throughout the year and we are anticipating some of our frustrations might be resolved.. Will wait and see. We are on the last year of our contract and love the resource feedback that the deltek system gives us. The cost to doing that is too much time in the planning module required to get that output. When initially selecting deltek it was obvious to us that it was geared to more service industry sectors then to a R&D and manufacturing company like ours. Using it going on 3 years we have enough frustrations with the planning side that we are researching other options to understand if something better exists. Really hope the planning side improves and makes our project managers more efficient.

October 18, 2019 3.0 It feels like software from the mid 2000s. It works, but is clunky and unpleasant. I find myself going through many unnecessary clicks to accomplish common tasks. E.g. When entering a comment for a task e, i need to type it, click in a separate comment box to ensure it's saved, and then only can I navigate away. I don't think they would be in business long if they launched today without their existing legacy user base. Pros It accomplishes the task it sets out to do. It logs time. Cons It has an outdated user interface, and the navigation is not well thought through. Review Source SD Shawna D. Product Owner Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Performance" November 20, 2019 4.0 Unfortunately, our reporting issues over shadow everything else. Pros In general, it meets our needs but it does seem that we are always being asked for customizations by our users that is not presently available. Cons Reporting performance is awful! We have had a consultant come out at least twice for an overall health check and recommendations and in my opinion we did not get a lot of value from this. It takes a ridiculously long time to run many of our reports and it's a constant source of pain for both the users and those of use who support the product. We have worked through all the troubleshooting steps that have been recommended and it's still an issue. It seems that anyone I talk to from larger firms all have the same issue. It feels as though Deltek works well for small-medium size firms but not larger global ones. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Civil Technician Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient Software" November 27, 2018 4.0 Pros Very flexible piece of software that is simple to use and can be configured to be impactful in an array of situations. You do not need to be a programmer to learn how to set it up. The software is very responsive and it is seamless between time and billing. Cons The software is only available on Explorer. I find it difficult to somethings find out what information I need out of it. I have also had issues with the saving function, which results in lost work, time and sometimes having to completely start over. Would like to see the copy and paste functionality be improved. Review Source RH Roy H. construction materials specialist Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "easy to use anywhere!" August 16, 2021 4.0 Overall I like the ease of use as well as the functionality of this mobile app. I rarely use it from a computer, but I do access it at times. It is a one stop place for me to keep track of my time as well as create detailed expense reports. Pros I like the fact that I am able to track my time anywhere. With the mobile app I am able to find the certain job I am on and bill time to it. I also like that I am able to create full expense reports from the app. Cons There are times when a new month starts, it doesn't save my favorites and I have to go find them again. Review Source JF Jeanice F. Vice President Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Experience" February 28, 2017 5.0 Overall, Vision is good. One feature I do not care for is the reporting and the fields are not in alphabetical order. I love the advanced search feature in reporting. I love the A/R transaction input experience where you just pull the invoice and it puts everything in. That is outstanding. Timesheets is another great feature of Deltek. One thing I feel needs to improve is the A/R search under the Accounting Tab/Accounts Receivable/Invoice Review, if you don't know the invoice number and search by client, it pulls all projects for that client. It should only pull those projects with outstanding A/R. I don't care for the customer service thru the help. Calling was much better. Pros The A/R transaction entry, the advanced search in reporting, timesheet processes. Cons The project reporting list of fields not in alphabetical order when you are trying to create a report. I know you can sort but it would take that step away if it was automatic. The search for an invoice number under Accounting/Accounts Receivable/Invoice Review.

July 25, 2018 2.0 Pros This software is really quite powerful, and definitely a necessity when working in the architectural and engineering industry. Cons I would have to say that my biggest concern with this software is the user interface. It's truly terrible and looks like it was designed alongside Windows 98. Review Source DR Dwight R. Sr. Research Manager Market Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pretty Good " September 16, 2021 4.0 Pros Intuitive in most places.. Lots of functionality, a one stop shop for many things for your business and web client makes it easy to collaborate and track no matter where you are. Cons Steep learning curve, weird glitches or places where you can get stuck because the system can be finicky. Slow loading times when you work in different parts of the app. Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
