### "Improved Support"

November 19, 2019

4.0

Pros

My review is from an administration standpoint. When I first started supporting this software, the support from Deltek was less than amazing. Over the last year, I have seen a vast improvement in the quality of the support personnel and the response time. Thank you for making my job easier!

Cons

Installing updates can be difficult at times. I would like to find an easier way to install updates.

### "I had to use CostPoint for work before."

February 15, 2018

3.0

Pros

It's feature rich and did just about everything I needed it to do. Also, the modular nature of the software means that additional functionality can be added as needed.

Cons

The learning curve can be steep and the software is expensive. I wouldn't recommend using CostPoint without some level of outside training.

### "Gets the job done, if you can sit through enough training"

April 18, 2019

2.0

Pros

It allows for very detailed tracking of hours.

Cons

User Experience design is something this company has never heard of. This might be some of the least intuitive software I've ever used. If you're going for user-friendly design (or something that looks like it was built this century), don't stop here.

### "Screens"

July 2, 2018

3.0

Pros

As a tool for setting up and keeping track of projects it is ideal. Basically, the system is user friendly.

Cons

There are far too many screens to set up one project. It takes time to navigate between the various screens.

### "Growth is a wonderful thing!"

November 14, 2016

4.0

I have been using Deltek products for over 20 years and have witnessed the tremendous growth the company has undergone over the years. I have used Advantage, Impromptu, T&E, and Costpoint. I have seen Costpoint grow from a 'DOS' screen to the more user friendly application that it is today. I do appreciate the ease of use and navigation that has been incorporated into the system. I would like to see more flexibility in the reporting but I understand that other tools fill that requirement. In terms of customer service, I think cases should be evaluated more in detail prior to assigning them to case workers. Often times, we've detailed an issue that we were having and have had customer support fall a little short of solving the problem before moving it to a more seasoned person to assist. By the time that has occurred, precious time has passed. Overall, Deltek products are an essential part of the government contractor community, well done Deltek!

Pros

User Friendly, Multiple points of information

Cons

Would like to see improved customer service on Deltek Projects

### "I was the project manager for an upgrade and the implementation of Expenses in the T & E product."

May 3, 2017

4.0

We have the tool to manage complex projects and the reporting necessary to meet government compliance requirements.

Pros

Powerful, with lots of capabilities. The Customer support team was an excellent source of knowledge, configuration guidance and problem troubleshooting. The higher level support staff really gets engaged and ensures delivery of a solution.

Cons

Complexity to configure and learn. Lack of direct integration of Time & Expense. Very expensive Deltek consulting, with a one-day (8-hour minimum charge). The latter led me to choose a partner to support our upgrade instead.

### "Powerful tool"

July 8, 2021

4.0

Pros

It covers most aspects a company accounting department would need. A nice all in one tool.

Cons

Not being able to have multiple costpoint windows opened at the same time. On some tabs, the layout is so outdated and not user-friendly that it is hard to navigate without a big screen.

Costpoint is the best solution for government contracting! No other software comes close to fulfilling all the requirements needed for tracking costs for the government at the great price Deltek offers.

### "Great system, some learning curves coming from GCS but very easy to use "

October 23, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very user friendly. Segmented sections for sep departments makes it easy to control access. Integrated with all of our many other softwares that tie into Costpost

Cons

I don't like having to build queries for every single report. There should be a default quiery that can be changed according to the need

### "Excellent software, needs additional features to improve in different areas, specially reporting."

May 9, 2017

5.0

We now really now the cost of projects. Some other system claim they can do that but they fall short.

Pros

Very user friendly yet very controlled. This software is a great tool for accounting because the design of the system matches its reality. Costpoint helps us tremendously to control costs.

Cons

Reporting could be improved. there is a good basic essential reports available on the system but there must be more options and flexibility so users can extract the most of it.

### "Simple & Necessary"

November 18, 2019

5.0

Overall very good, have learned how to use it in the past year

Pros

It's easy to use and if you run the same types of reports it's simple to learn when you know nothing about costpoint (like I did not beforehand)

Cons

It gets stuck sometimes and it takes awhile to get it fixed

### "There aren't many good products in the Market, but dealing with Deltek is awful"

July 20, 2017

3.0

It does meet Government Accounting Requirements

Pros

It does have a lot of features that support Government Accounting. It allows us to enter very detailed levels of project string, ORG codes, and GL Account Codes for every transaction.

Cons

User Interface is terrible - still looks like a mainframe screen. Customer support while friendly is not very helpful. They always try to push a support ticket to their paid consulting services. I feel like they are always trying to get more money out of us.

### "Total streamlining of the procurement process."

July 20, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like how easy the program is to use and how customizable each window is. I am able to move text boxes around to fit my needs and can save queries and window setup per my requirements.

Cons

There are several elements that are irrelevant to my specific job so I suppose I like those the least.

### ""experience" for the user was clearly an afterthought at best. Maybe the worst application I use"

May 2, 2017

2.0

Pros

I can't say there is anything I like most about this software. Tiny buttons? No. Jargon? No. Terrible process flows? No. Impossibility of search? No. Glitchiness? No.

Cons

User experience is the worst of any business application I have been forced to use in my 20+ years in business.

### "Costpoint 7 is user friendly"

June 27, 2017

4.0

I am able to enter invoices more quickly and efficiently.

Pros

I think Costpoint 7 is very easy to work with and was easy to learn. It has helped me increase productivity.

Cons

Some of the functions in Costpoint 7 don't seem to always help with keeping a steady workflow or don't work at all.

### "Great Deltek"

November 15, 2016

5.0

We have Deltek Financials for one year now and we thinks it is a wonderful application. It is definitely easy to understand how the systems work and the flexibility to report and export financial information is even better. We are so happy we are not using Oracle anymore.

Pros

Very flexible

Cons

Nothing really

### "I'm baffled by the reviews! This is the WORST!"

March 2, 2020

1.0

Pros

What do I like most? My gosh - literally NOTHING. I've used multiple other timekeeping systems and this is BY FAR the worst system I've ever seen and used!

Cons

Where to begin...usability (It's complete garbage with absolutely ZERO thought for the standard employee user). I've never seen such poorly designed software as this. If you get an expert programmer to set it up for you and put in ONE charge code and do the SAME thing every day, you'll be fine. But if you need to work with multiple charges, add or delete favorites, etc, DO NOT USE THIS TOOL. I've spent a couple hours now fighting the software and it's absolutely unusable - and I'm a senior level programmer...AND I CAN'T GET THINGS TO WORK. It's buggy to the nth degree and I can't stress enough how little thought clearly went into the design of the software. I'm baffled that this got to market in this state. Truly baffled.

CostPoint meets my needs in performing my job. The ease of the system makes it a great tool to use.

Pros

I like the ease of the product. I was able to utilize it with little to no training.

Cons

More report options would be great. it limits my reporting needs,
