Director of Finance Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Costpoint" November 19, 2019 4.0 This was a lot more time consuming to implement. Other softwares we surveyed before going with CP had a tool that would export our data from quick books into their system. Not sure why CP doesn’t have this feature. Pros The reporting feature. We really liked the cognos relationship, and the ability to export directly to excel as well as upload from excel. Cons The revenue to income statement. I have never worked with an accounting system where once I created and posted an invoice, the total revenue for that product on the income statement is different then what was billed. I do not understand why I have to tell my system to recognize or “pick up” my revenue. It’s redundant and causes a lot of headaches.

HRBP Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Costpoint" November 4, 2021 3.0 Overall, it's not bad if you have proper training. But bringing someone new in to use it, is a difficult task and requires a sit down training. I wish it was more user friendly. Pros It gets the job done and ensures we are in compliance Cons It is not intuitive, so you need all the training you can get to know what simple buttons you need to do, to put out results you want. Reason for choosing Deltek Costpoint It ensured we were compliant with DCAA Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Program Coordinator/Research Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It’s great for Large organizations " December 1, 2018 4.0 Pros I like it’s features on login when used in a mobile browsing window. Cons It was very hard to navigate at first. The help section, while very robust, was a bit difficult to understand. I did a lot of “trial and error”, before eventually figuring it out. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Network Control Tech Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple software everyone understands" August 12, 2018 5.0 Deltek helps us take care of our timesheets in short order, with very helpful search and report functions to boot. Pros I always like how easy it is to use. I create favorites so I don't even have to search for the right codes - they're just right there. And the web pages load very quickly on our awful work computers! Cons Depending on how your company set it up, it can be confusing to find your codes initially... but all they have to do is give them to you and then it's super easy. Review Source JH Jane H. Financial Systems Administor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CP is good and user friendly" May 9, 2017 4.0 Pros Costpoint offers government contractors unparalleled project management, accounting, labor, reporting and compliance features so you get the exact capability you need to increase efficiency and improve profitability. It was built specifically for government contractors and has been adopted by thousands of government contractors and earned the trust of federal agencies and their auditors. Cons System bug, system not stable. Take long time to get customer service back some time. Field names and connections to other fields are not readily apparent. Takes years to become fluent in the program. Review Source BS Brant S. Mfg eng manager Shipbuilding Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Need improvement with standard reports" November 19, 2019 3.0 Pros Ease of movement around system. The query function is a great way to filter info. Cons The standard reports are very poor. I wonder if they consulted actual users and asked what they needed. Has forced us to use cognos query and writer which is not user friendly. There are standard reports such as dispatch lists that should be part of the package. Review Source SO Sandra O. BRM Military Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Costpoint from BRM viewpoint" November 19, 2019 4.0 Great software overall Pros Ease to learn and easy to use screen and download data Cons Incomplete error messages and missing edits. Alternatives considered [SAP Concur](https://www.capterra.com/p/380/Concur-Expense/) Reason for choosing Deltek Costpoint PRICE Review Source MM Matt M. MAPA Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Brief Overview" December 1, 2020 4.0 Overall, I like Deltek. It is an easy system to use and little training to be able to know how to use (very user friendly). Pros I like the display for the calendar, it is easy to add a new line for additional hours billed and keep track all hours. I also think it is easy to navigate the branching time charge. Some companies have a very complicated branching system making it very difficult to locate the correct time charge to add. Cons I think it would be helpful if time off, holidays, sick leave was able to be displayed from the main timesheet. It would make a one stop location to have all the information in one place compared to opening up other tabs to trying to locate your balances. Review Source WM William M. CFO Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Costpoint - A+ for DCAA compliance, a D for all else" November 15, 2016 3.0 Costpoint sets the standard for project accounting and indirect rate application and reporting. But Costpoint has none of the features that users love in other ERP systems, like drill down reports, modifiable reports, paperless processing, budget setup, easy bank reconciliations, etc. Users of Quickbooks, Dynamics and others will miss these features. Pros Project and indirect rate applicaton accounting & reporting Cons Much more expensive than comparable solutions. Extremely high lifecycle expense. You will buy this software every year with maintenance. And growing is expensive with employee based fees. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accounting Associate Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great functionality but not easy to use" March 15, 2018 4.0 Due to our type of work, it was a great product to use when working government contracts. Pros The software had great reports. It's payroll portion was very easy to understand and navigate while processing biweekly checks. Cons The software is not user friendly. It took quite some time to learn how to use properly and the reporting function is complicated. Review Source AF Alba F. Finance Manager Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "System " November 18, 2019 5.0 We track all our financials, invoicing our costumes and track our incur costs submmtion Pros Very easy to use and easy to learn’ very robust system from the beginning of a project all the way to the end Cons Flexibility sometimes is not your best, if you set up a project wrong you got live with it until it end Review Source MS Mark S. Software Developer Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek is a reasonable timetracking tool" April 24, 2019 3.0 Pros It does what it needs to do. 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 TF Tawnyia F. Financial Analyst Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used Deltek on the Project side and the Accounting side. Very positive experience!" April 10, 2018 5.0 Pros The software is intuitive and very easy to use. All modules seem to flow together from project set up to billing. Cons There is not very many things that I do not like about Deltek Costpoint. Compared to other accounting software it is the best! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accounts Payable Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very detailed system" August 16, 2019 5.0 Pros Deltek CP can break down to run any report. Great for analyzing on all levels. Cons Not user intuitive. The system takes a long time to learn and is difficult to navigate. Review Source OA Omar A. Production Planner Military Used the software for: 2+ 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 KD Kent D. Configuration Management / Document Control Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Deltek" March 22, 2019 4.0 Pros Deltek Costpoint is a great software tool to manage parts, inventory, finances and cost reports. It is very easy to use if you are aware that the first priority of Costpoint is a financial tool. It is customizable to link to other software for ERP and MES solutions. Cons There is a dedicated support team, but for an enterprise solution there aren't many options for individual sites. Review Source ST Sarah T. HR Analyst Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A few kinks but easy to use" November 28, 2017 4.0 Pros The platform is decently organized by Employee/Salary information and Leave information - managing either is simple and the accrual process is easy as well. I manage employee data and leave data but I am not an expert on any of the other system capabilities. Cons We've had issues with file feeds that have taken a long time to resolve. There are a few manual processes that need to be done during the accrual process that seem like they should be automated (i.e. removing duplicate beginning balance records when an employee goes from one type of leave to another in the same year). Review Source LW Linda W. Ceo Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Read your contract very very carefully " March 5, 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 DK Diana K. Assistant Controller Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "From Costpoint 3.1 to 7.1.1" November 18, 2019 4.0 Costpoint allows us to easily track costs by project. Pros Easy of use and love the ability to copy into excel. So much easier now than in the old CP versions. Cons Change Management and having to clear cache all the time. Reason for choosing Deltek Costpoint none Review Source DB Daniel B. Database Engineer Defense & Space Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It does the job, and then some" November 19, 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 TR Tina R. Contract Administrator Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Incredibly inefficient system" May 1, 2018 1.0 Cons The amount of keystroking required to complete a simple task is staggering. It takes hours to complete a simple task that should only take minutes to complete due to the number of separate steps required. It's like working with 1970's technology. The system will not allow even minimal customization, i.e. menu fonts/set-ups. I would rather work in an old DOS program than this one. Review Source JR Jeremy R. Director, Financial Systems Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product overall for government contractors." July 20, 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 CT Cathy T. Senior Business Analyst IT Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time customer " November 20, 2019 4.0 Pros Customer support and responsiveness, ease of use Cons Nothing comes to mind. I have been using Costpoint and T&E for 20 years. Improvements have been made during this time. It is a good product. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Application Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Horrid Piece of Software from the 1990s" August 8, 2018 1.0 Pros Once you learn how to enter your hours it's not too bad. Trying to request vacation time on the other hand, horrible. Cons The interface looks like a hastily assembled college project made with Access. The leave section looks like they actually tried to make it as un-intuitive as they could. The theory in our office is that it's a feature that discourages employees from requesting time off. I almost can't put into words how backwards this software is. Review Source LR Luther R. BI analyst III Government Relations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool for analytics. Mostly prebuilt reports help" October 23, 2017 4.0 I am in the bi team and reporting is easy. I was forecasting was as easy as other tools. Pros Search from any thing is easy. Reporting is easy. Integrated package helps save money. Subcontractor costs calculation - pools is integrated well. Cons Some of the joins in Congo's framework manager do not exist and we had to build again. When. The new release comes to market, we have to add them back.
