It is pretty simple to use and get setup, and allows you to track what needs tracking. Cons All time tracking is harder then we would like. Deltek at times needs work to be configured to be as helpful as I wish it could be. Review Source Production Planner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Omar CP review" November 19, 2019 5.0 It’s an easy to use software that has real-time inventory management that I find useful in everyday tasks. Pros The ease of running MRP once everything is set up. Cons User interface seems outdated. Friendlier screens can be used where you can finally use dual monitor support. Review Source Ceo Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Read your contract very very carefully " March 8, 2022 1.0 It’s our fault that we did not read the contract at least 5 times. Our implementation date is scheduled for April, but they started to charge us from Jan, right after the contract is signed. Their recommended implementation team needs three month to move data from quickbooks to cost point. When they did the sales show, they stated clearly ( unfortunately we did not record it) that the invoice will start from the day after full implantation. Guess what, in their contract, they directed you to refer to another document, and if you trace to that document, it states that you need to refer to another document. Oh. Well. We now have to bite the bullet. But I hope my review can help others to avoid this mistake. I am counting days to the end of this contract. I am not going to do amy other business with Deltek. None! Such a vicious company and toxic sales team. Pros DCAA certified and no else. None none none Cons Sales team very tricky to deal with. Aweful experience Review Source DB Daniel B. Database Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "It does the job, and then some" November 21, 2019 5.0 Installation, configuration, security & report writing Pros My coworkers get there work done, mostly without complaining to IT Cons Hotfixes and the needs to install them..... the new versions executables will be awesome Review Source Director, Financial Systems Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great product overall for government contractors." July 21, 2017 4.0 Efficiencies with back-office processes. Pros Heavily integrated. It offers a lot of features suitable for government contractors. Companies that rely heavily on projects and reporting will find the system very suitable for their requirements. Cons Very complex. The system requires a lot of hands-on interaction to become proficient. The integration is great, but with it comes a steep learning curve. Review Source Sr. Web Designer and Developer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Worst software I've ever used" August 21, 2025 1.0 Constantly pinwheeling, horrible interface, and bloated. Needs a total overhaul. Please, for the love of God, hire a competent designer to overhaul how this thing works, because right now using it is the worst part of my entire month. I would quit a job if this was the system they were using. Fortunately I'm only using it on a specific contract which means I can look forward to the day when I never have to use it again. Pros It worked 20% of the time, and I suppose it is helpful for people who need the reports done in a certain way. But for the end user, there are almost zero "pros". Cons It is a prime example of what happens when engineers try to be designers and end up creating a UI/UX that looks like something built for Windows 3.1. Review Source Mitchell C. Mechanical Technician Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Costpoint, not the best for an overall time management program." February 11, 2025 3.0 I had a decent experience with costpoint, I just remember it being hard to navigate and frustrating at times. Pros The ability to clock in to exactly which job your working on. Cons The complication of browsing the site and finding things I needed. Review Source Regional Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "One stop shop for timekeeping " January 16, 2025 5.0 I like costpoint overall. I’ve never had any major issues. The reporting feature is fantastic. Pros I like the features of recording time for payroll and the ability to view leave balance and submit leave requests Cons I do not like the interface when approving timesheets Review Source JO Joyce O. Enterprise Applications Administrator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Deltek Costpoint - integrated and a promising SAAS" November 12, 2024 5.0 With my 3yrs of experience using costpoint, I am very satisfied that it doesn't require too much intervention from the Deltek Team. Pros It is an all-in-one HRIS/Accounting software Cons The user interface is not so friendly. There are some modules that you have to take courses to understand and use. Review Source Priya K. Controller Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Organized system" January 28, 2025 5.0 Pros Keeps track of all information in one place. Cons Sometimes very hard to find date. But you can find it after getting use the system. Review Source Intern Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Deltek Review" November 22, 2024 4.0 Pros In my experience, I think one of things I like about Deltek is that it "stops" you from revising previous work without a reason. I think that's incredibly important for the employer. Cons One thing I don't like about Deltek is how specific it is. At least in my experience, it doesn't allow up to two decimal points on the timesheet. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but whenever I track it, it would tell me that it can't track it because it differs from what I put in. For instance, if I worked 7.75 hours, I would try to track it as 7.7 or 7.8, but it won't accept it. Review Source JN Jamie N. Director of Business Systems Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Cumbersome " October 4, 2022 4.0 Overall, I wish the system retained it's functionality with an easier to use interface. The reporting in the Costpoint system should be more customizable without having to be a report writer and be forced to use the business intelligence module to build reports from the ground up. Pros The system can do almost anything you want it to in terms of setup. There are more options and specifications than any one company could ever need or want. Cons Because the system is so customizable from an admin side, it becomes very cumbersome. A single update needs to be made in multiple screens in order for it to show up everywhere and be accessible to everyone. The User Interface is complicated for everyday users and troubleshooting issues is difficult and time consuming because of all the areas where there could be an issue.

SQL DBA \\ ERP Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Deltek Costpoint 8.1" August 17, 2023 4.0 Deltek Costpoint is our corporate Enterprise Resource Planning system, as well as our primary Business Intelligence tool for Accounting, Financial, and Project Status reporting. There are also flexible options for implementing security, both at the user level as well as the user group level. Pros Extensive number of fields available for entering data, highly normalized database structure, Project-based accounting, ability to customize product using built-in Extensibility. Costpoint can be integrated with other products by using the built-in Web Services tool, as well as a number of data pre-processors. Cons Some aspects of product are not intuitive. Some processes can take considerable time to complete. Recent version upgrades have been buggy, sometimes containing new bugs that were not present in previous versions. It can take considerable time for bug fixes to be released. Switched from [BST10](https://www.capterra.com/p/36030/BST10/) To meet the needs of upcoming business in the government sector. Review Source Philip B. Travel Reporting & System Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Deltek Costpoint" October 19, 2022 4.0 It gets the job done for my role within the company. It is good for timekeeping tracking as well to split across projects. Pros It can be used with third party systems to manage expenses and payments. Cons It does not produce the best reporting of amounts when there are negative entries. Review Source Senior Accountant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Reliable and consistent" April 3, 2024 5.0 I started using Deltek costpoint since 2019 and I use it daily. Most of the features on Deltek is intuitive and easy to use. When transferring data from Deltek to Excel, it is easy to transfer. Pros Customer service. Especially zoom meeting to resolve issues. Transferring information from the software to excel in an easy manner. Cons Frequent update regarding software upgrade. Review Source Ruby L. Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Deltek Review" October 1, 2018 3.0 It is an ok system overall but there needs to be a huge update to the system to compete with it's competitors. The strong point is that most government contractor are using Deltek Time and Attendance since it is engineered for this industry so people are more likely to get the HRIS system to integrate easily with timesheets. Pros The system has a pretty easy interface to enter in basic information such as personal information, checking, tax information, and updating benefits. The ESS system once setup, it is pretty great for the employees as they can choose benefits through open enrollment, update tax information and update their address information. The reporting is simple for standard reports and can be easily pulled in excel format so you are able to manipulate the spreadsheets. Cons The software is very outdated and has not been updated in several years. Other systems are light years ahead of this system as it looks like it is from the 1990's. The custom reporting is very clunky and hard to create any of these reports as there are many files to look into and no intelligent search functions. You can only pull the reports in excel format so there not other options such as CSV and PDF. The ESS section is also out of date and not very integrative to the HRIS system. The setup for benefits, tax and validations tables in the back end of the system is hard to recognize and makes it harder for complete setup. There is ACA integration as well and it makes it hard that you have to click on separate sections of the screen to look at information rather than clicking one repository to reach all of the information.

Manufacturing Engineer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy-to-use but doesn't work for every situation" December 4, 2018 4.0 Pros I use costpoint daily at my job and the software is very easy to navigate. I have no issues searching for BOMs (Bill of Materials) and costpoint interacts relatively seamlessly with the systems that we use for engineering drawings and shop floor instructions. Cons A lot of the materials in the BOMs seem to be controlled by effectivity dates. This may work well for companies that have interchangeable parts with planned obsolescence dates, but the industry I work in has variable production schedules where it'd be preferable to control materials by engineering drawing effectivity. Review Source JM Jim M. Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Comments on Costoint" October 18, 2022 4.0 Pros I find Costpoint to be the most effective and comprehensive Government Cost Accounting system available. Contains many related back office functions that are integrated within the system. It is an government approved system. Cons User interface needs improvement for non finance and accounting users. It should be easier to use for basic functions such as daily timesheets, expense reports, and approvals of these two items. Review Source Corporate Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "This Software is a must have for any Gov't Contractor that wants to do business in this space" June 29, 2017 5.0 Pros The application is very powerful and very flexible which allows you to set things up for your business as simply or as complex as you would like. The ability to enter everything only once and capture all the data needed to properly allocate all of your Fringe / Overhead / G&A or Material & Handling Cost Pools is critical to being able to prepare DCAA / DCMA compliant Invoices, DCAA Disclosure Statements and Incurred Cost Submissions. Every module that you add on automatically links with the existing Accounting data so no extra steps are needed to get different modules to talk to one another. Cons Not always easy to tell if or when a patch is needed to update a specific module. Don't really know anything is needed until you run into an error message. Sometimes it is hard to update or patch just the application that is giving you problems because fixes can cover more then one application. Review Source VP Vicki P. Vice President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Costpoint is an extremely powerful project based accounting system" May 17, 2017 4.0 Pros The flexibility it provides. With both private and public clients, we are required to provide invoices to clients in many different formats, and some project setups can be quite complicated. Costpoint allows us the flexibility we need to manage our projects effectively and also meet our client's needs. We also love the extensibility tool introduced with Costpoint 7 that has allowed us to customize the software in order to enforce many of our internal procedures and business rules. Cons Because of it's flexibility, it can be complicated, which leads to errors. We hear from our new users that systems they worked on previously provided more of a standard workflow that guided them through the project setup process. We realize this is very difficult to do with some many different project setup requirements, and we've tried to accomplish some of this through the extensibility tool. Review Source Advocacy Relations and Communications Manager Advocacy Relations and Communications Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Employees won't love it" March 25, 2019 3.0 Pros There isn't much to like about this software. It does let you save time codes to favorites, but that's the bare minimum and doesn't do much more to make the work of someone entering a daily time card easy. Cons The loading times seem slower than peer software I've used and the features to populate saved time codes aren't as good. Requesting time off is especially burdensome and requires several steps where it should really only have one. Review Source Contracts & Subcontracts Lead Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Use daily reports work well" October 25, 2017 5.0 Just in time reporting Pros It combines accounting and contracts. Easy to use and run reports and pull data from system. Love the real-time reporting Cons The contracts model needs more attention. It could be more robust. It is really not functional out of the box Review Source Finance Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "CostPoint Review" November 20, 2017 4.0 Overall, if you are in the government contracting industry, CostPoint is as reliable as a software as any out there. With its wide acceptance across the industry, it is a extremely useful software to be familiar with. Pros CostPoint is an extremely powerful and a widely used accounting software. One of its best features is the ability to accommodate a diverse set of accounting and financial needs and the innate ability to run seamless interfaces with other Deltek products such as T&E and Cognos. It's relatively easy to use and can be picked up by most users quickly. Cons Costpoint lags behind its competitor in the innovation it offers it's users and customers. They software updates are infrequent and often do not result in any major updates and upgrades. There are also many areas of functionality within Costpoint that seem to be offer duplicity and could be improved. Review Source PROCUREMENT MNGR Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "COSTPOINT IS PRETTY AWESOME" November 21, 2019 5.0 After using it for over a year, I am noticing that a lot of the processes are streamlined which helps with accurate accounting of POs and the information stored for vendors. Pros I like the fact that their interfaces are able to communicate with each other. I also like the ease of use when using the software. It is honestly cut an dry and if you have used various SAP before, you should not have an issue with this one. I transitioned from the US Army using GCSS-Army and the interfaces in costpoint were virtually the same. Cons I like the software, but my company does not or wants to ay for all the modules needed, so I feel as though I cannot use Costpoint to its full potential as I feel it can be used. I hope after this conference I am able to go back to my Company's President and change his mind. Review Source Business Analyst Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Costpoint from a Programmer's View" November 20, 2019 4.0 It works well, it is easy to learn and run. Pros Ease to select rows of data and export to excel and vice versa. Help information is great as well Cons Error messages are not clear as to the real issue is. It lacks some of the report functionality. Switched from Mitigated Entity requirement and CAS compliance Reasons for choosing Deltek Costpoint It was used by other teams within the company.
