Deltek Costpoint Reviews

“Great product

Pros

As a government contractor, I find it easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes, I find it challenging to get the data I need.

“Simple & Necessary

Pros

Their ease of use and if you run the same types of reports, its simple to learn, even when you know nothing about Costpoint like I did beforehand.

Cons

It gets stuck sometimes, and it takes a while to get it fixed.

“Very user friendly

Pros

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

Cons

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

“Cost POint

Pros

This software is very user-friendly and the elimination of manual processes is very easy.

Cons

The reporting feature is a little difficult for me to manage.

“From Costpoint 3.1 to 7.1.1

Pros

I love the ease of use and the ability to copy into Excel. It's much easier now than in the old Costpoint versions.

Cons

I am frustrated with Change Management and having to clear the cache all the time.

“Long time customer

Pros

What i most like about this software is their customer support and responsiveness, as well as the ease of use.

Cons

Nothing specific comes to mind. I've been using Costpoint and T&E for 20 years, and improvements have been made over time. It's a good product.

“Costpoint Rocks

Pros

I use it for project, financial, billing, labor, and benefits applications.

Cons

My focus is on material, inventory and procurements, and sales.

“Costpoint from BRM viewpoint

Pros

I found it easy to learn and use the screen and download data.

Cons

I find the error messages incomplete and the edits missing.

“Omar CP review

Pros

It is easy to run MRP once everything is set up.

Cons

The user interface seems outdated to me. Friendlier screens and dual monitor support would be appreciated.

“Accountant review

Pros

This software is great for multiple companies and accounting purposes.

Cons

There is so much to this product that I do not know everything we have.

“System

Pros

It's very easy to use and learn and it is a robust system from the beginning of a project all the way to the end.

Cons

I find that flexibility sometimes is not your best asset. If I set up a project wrong, I have to live with it until it ends.

“NOT for an ETO Company

Pros

I have nothing positive to say about this software. It benefits the smallest group in our company.

Cons

I am frustrated with the lack of out-of-the-box automation of the ECN process. There is no PN versioning, and every revision gets a new ID number. Copying from E BOM to M BOM has a high potential for errors. This has quadrupled data administration for my engineering group. I expect to be pulling requisitions for new employees that are engineers, not data administrators.

“A simple concept is complicated and user time is wasted with Deltek

Pros

It doesn't crash or freeze up, and I have to give credit for their proper server connections and implementations. It does not crash during use, although logins sometimes get delayed due to some cookie issues.

Cons

Where do I start? There is no clear user interface setup method. It has a bunch of poorly worded menus and unnecessary "Query" buttons. For most users, the goal is to select a charge code, pick the day of the week, add the hours, and save. At the end of the week, they sign the sheet. Simple, right? But not with Deltek. It makes the whole process of finding the "timesheet" and adding a line to it convoluted. The process is not complicated but a simple task is turned into a random goose chase through multiple menus, clicks, searches, and selections. Picking a project code involves clicking on random icons, searching through layered menus, and figuring out what to add. The user interface is not intuitive.

“Very detailed system

Pros

Deltek Costpoint can break down to run any report, which is great for analyzing on all levels.

Cons

I find it not user-intuitive. The system takes a long time for me to learn and is difficult to navigate.

“Worst. Application. Ever.

Pros

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

Cons

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

“Fair Weather Application

Pros

They are a government-approved system, which is a requirement for companies in the defense and contracting industry.

Cons

The platform is not intuitive nor user-friendly, and I find it hard to get customer support without being charged extra. It's not open source.

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

Pros

It allows me to track my hours in very detailed ways.

Cons

User experience design is something this company has never heard of. This might be some of the least intuitive software I have ever used. If I am going for user-friendly design (or something that looks like it was built this century), I should not stop here.

“Deltek is a reasonable timetracking tool

Pros

It does what it needs to do. It is pretty simple for me to use and get set up, and it allows me to track what needs tracking.

Cons

All time tracking is harder than I would like. Deltek often needs work to be configured to be as helpful as I wish it could be.

“Deltek

Pros

Deltek Costpoint is a great software tool for me to manage parts, inventory, finances, and cost reports. It is very easy to use if I'm aware that the first priority of Costpoint is as a financial tool.

Cons

There is a dedicated support team, but for an enterprise solution, there are not many options for individual sites.

“Employees won't love it

Pros

There is not much I like about this software. It does let me save time codes to favorites, but that is the bare minimum and does not do much more to make my work of entering a daily time card easy.

Cons

The loading times seem slower than other software I have used, and the features to populate saved time codes are not as good. Requesting time off is especially burdensome and requires several steps where it should really only have one.
