### "Ease of Use and Flexibility through Extensibility"

November 28, 2016

4.0

Our company implemented a suite of products including Costpoint and Time and Expense approximately 3 years ago. After seeing applied changes and specific product roadmaps at Deltek Insight 2016, I'm excited about the direction of system improvements and enhancements to functionality and features that are either a reality now or coming in the very near future!

Pros

Web-based - accessibility anytime, anywhere. Ease-of-use over Oracle products I've used elsewhere. Customer support engagement through various channels.

### "Costpoint Review"

November 14, 2016

4.0

Coming from GCS to Costpoint the depth that we can now get information from is amazing.

Pros

Having the ability to keep multiple period open at once is convenient. It allows us the chance to make sure that our data is correct before moving on. The increase in the number of available characters in our project numbers really helps in the organization process.

Cons

The increase in the number of steps to get our information out of costpoint seems unnecessary.

### "Completely functional product."

August 29, 2018

4.0

Pros

This software was easy to use, I had no issues with it. It provides exactly would it should and functions with no errors.

Cons

This software could use some more functions to increase its value. It is more of a supplementary program then a primary one.

### "Reliable product from a reliable company"

November 15, 2016

5.0

Having used Costpoint and Time & Expense since 2008, I'm comfortable and confident with the breadth of the tools' functionality, as well as the critically important support provided by Deltek.

Pros

I most appreciate the stability of the processes built into the products.

Cons

As the products have evolved, they've unavoidably become complex, which makes for a large amount of details with which to become familiar.

### "Implementation was difficult. We had a small team with function experience but not implementation "

October 23, 2017

4.0

Pros

Powerful and good accounting functions. Time and expense works the best. Having it be recognized as great government accounting software should make our annual audit go smoother.

Cons

Not sure about both sides of GL entries. We didn't get a broad overview at the beginning and that has led to difficulty in administration. Pools are hard to troubleshoot.

July 16, 2019

Pros

I didn't have to change my password when we transitioned to it.

Cons

Do you want extra steps that are not intuitive? Then Costpoint has the software for you!

### "Costpoint Review"

November 14, 2016

4.0

We went live January 1 2016, so we are a new user. The implementation was painful as any implementation would be. However, once the system was up and running, we were able to successfully run the business. Support has been helpful. When set up properly, the system runs great.

Pros

Once you know all the steps it is pretty simple to use.

Cons

Lots of steps to complete a process. Our month end close is 100 steps.

### "Good ERP for Government Project Management"

November 15, 2016

4.0

Costpoint has the features needed to easily manage government projects as well as provide the accounting functions to comply with various regulatory agencies. HR and Payroll are robust enough to handle the various taxing authorities, certified payroll and union regulations.

Pros

Highly configurable, excellent integration with other systems.

Cons

Can be buggy at times. Inconsistency in UI functions.

### "Great compliance tool!"

November 14, 2016

4.0

Time & expense This product was easy to implement and is easy to maintain. Highly configurable from a user perspective with minimal ITS support necessary.

Pros

Great compliance tool! Top notch time management rule enforcement and use of per diems, segregation of overages for accurate pass through of allocable costs.

Cons

Does not import exchange rates from bank data

### "Moving from 4 ERPs to 1"

November 14, 2016

4.0

We went on Costpoint in 2009 from three separate ERPs. Project went well and we went live in less then 18 months. Fast forward 2 years and we acquired another business. We were able to move them to Costpoint in less than 12 months and under budget

Pros

Project Accounting

Cons

Advanced Budgeting cumbersome and requires an interface. I believe Deltek has a new product out to address

### "Costpoint Review v.3"

November 15, 2016

5.0

As a new user to Costpoint, I have been impressed by the depth of the Costpoint product and it's capabilities. We have barely begun to scratch the surface of the capabilities of the product, but it currently handles all of our projects and proposals and is the heartbeat of our business.

Pros

Depth of product Customer support is great

Cons

Finding where data lives in the database can be tough

### "Great Software Once You Get over the Fear of It"

November 14, 2016

4.0

Costpoint software was very intimidating until I learned it. Granted it was more robust than any software I had experienced, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to work with it. It is more user friendly than I thought it would be.

Pros

The ability to enter the information easily.

Cons

The warning everytime I'm ready to post something that I have to print it out.

### "Deltek CostPoint Unleashed"

November 14, 2016

5.0

Deltek CostPost is a very efficient accounting tool. It allowed us to add our accounting approval process in the form of an extensibility. This process was tedious and was completely external. With this addition it allows us to have all accounting approvals under one umbrella. Very happy with this product

Pros

Easy to navigate

Cons

The updates are sometime self defeating

November 18, 2016

4.0

Deltek's Costpoint is a leader in project based accounting. I have supported this produst both from a functional and technical standpoint for 15 years and it has few competitors that can outshine it.

Pros

Ease of access. Multicompany project based. Easy to configure and use.

Cons

Expensive Technically very complex

### "New to Costpoint"

November 16, 2016

3.0

System is easy to use, but care needs to be taken that when setting up the system, all steps need to be followed. It allows steps to be input even if they are not according to processes. Training is highly recommended.

Pros

Easy to use. Works well with projects and accounting.

Cons

Easy to break if you aren't careful.

I can not recall a time we have reached to Deltek Support and have not gotten the best experience. My reps are just a joy to work with and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the system. From the whole Willdan Group Team, we would like to thank you all for your continuous support and great attitude.

So far the product has been relatively easy to use. The functionality is wonderful compared to our current system.

### "Great software and the current upgrades and growth into related functions is outstanding."

November 15, 2016

5.0

We had a complicated implementation and upgrades because of mandated linkages to a parent commercial system, but with guidance from Deltek and a Deltek Partner, it works well.

Pros

Currently there is so much that surrounds the original basic Costpoint accounting, that integrates so well with it, you can run so many more aspects of your business with the needed common threads, great combination of functionality.

Cons

Some parts are still a bit pricey.

We have been a customer since 2002 and have been very pleased with the product

I have been using Costpoint for about 6 years now, since I started with DELTA. The system was very easy to use. In my new leadership role, I want to make sure that our HR department is using all of the fields the the system provides so that we are using it to its fullest potential. I think we have some areas that we are not fully utilizing that would help in the day to day. Great customer support, quick responses on the help desk. Look forward to potentially using the TM system at some point in the future.

### "Deltek is best in class and what most use"

September 9, 2020

5.0

Industry standard for time reporting in the government sector.

Pros

It is intuitive and the UI design is clean and straight forward. It's easy to drill down and I just use it for timesheet reporting.. so, it's easy.

Cons

I heard it was expensive. I've used Unanet and it's also serviceable.... Deltek is easy too use and connects with ADP.. so, payroll is easy.
