Deltek Vision Reviews

I think one of the best things about Deltek Vision is the Visualization piece. You can easily show people information on the fly and let people know what is critical for a report.

The ease of set-up is what got me. We had to have a full team help us and still have on site programmers to maintain it.

It's easy and straightforward to use. You can look up old timesheets and it prompts you to check over your work before you submit.

I wish more features would save. Typing on repeatedly is tedious when most of it is the same information.

There is not "like most" - Difficulty in correcting JE's on a bank account. Meaning - you cannot fix. I would NOT recommend this product for accounting purposes. It's outdated and not forgiving. Reports are less than desirable to look at, and most information is difficult to locate. In order to get what you want you will have to export reports in excel, merge them together and fix for yourself. This is very time consuming and a waste of daylight hours.

You have to work backwards when posting a transfer of funds to a account. If you don't your screwed!

There is real-time standby training available to the users of the software
The support is available 24/7
Supported by various leading software carrier platforms

It may be challenging to use for users who are not conversed in accounting background
When systems are down it maybe difficult to operate in such circumstances

It's very easy to track projects and hours in Deltek. It's a relief to be able to go to one platform and review everyone's contributions to a project. I love it!

You can only track projects in 30-minute increments, which can be annoying. The UI also looks a bit dated, but that's not enough of a reason for me to lower my rating.

I do like that this program is super customizable, has a ton of functionality, and comes with basically it's own help team. Pretty easy to use once you get used to it.

There is so much going on, it's hard to figure out it's capabilities. The filtering on it is super specific and sometimes makes it hard to navigate.

1. You can switch between different things like Project, Timesheet etc very easily.
And extract and know data very quickly.
2. Save time with this software.
3. You can have the project management done with Accounting Reporting.

1. If you are using A/R graph then you have limited options to select from. Please improve on them.
2. Some parts you can excel well if some of your team member knows SQL, so sometimes that becomes a necessity.

We were able to manage the complete project lifecycle while increasing profit with a single ERP system that worked with our SME and wasn't too big and clumsy for a smaller business. Effective and fast! What we liked.

there was not a lot of easily accessable help information available on their website. I prefer to use and search help documentation myself rather than lodging an enquiry in the first instance.

The first i like of this tool is the easy to understand it by anyone. You got all project management activities covered with this tool in a easy and effective way

I would say improve the customizable features, but still has many functions that are constantly updated

Deltek vision is very good software to use to handle many database simultaneously. During that work we can easily filter the important data. There are many ways to clarify the data.

We just maintain different kind of data with different time series. Actually it's working good

We use Vision for CRM and Proposals-Custom Proposals and Government forms. I love the connectivity between your firms, contacts with your opportunities and jobs. Using Vision enables us to store and retrieve our corporate history and the story of us...our projects, our people and our client relationships. I confess I am a power-user and have done most of the configuration to the system, so therefore understand it more than most others, but I can provide data of any kind from our system. We are integrated with a different accounting platform, so I can also provide up-to-date project reporting. We also use an intranet connector that makes our information easily obtainable/viewable through PC and mobile app (not the Deltek mobile app). I have used the Deltek Vision product since 2005 and had prior Deltek products since the late 1990's. Dewberry is a 2,000 person firm with 50 office locations in 18 states.

Although I live and breathe Deltek Vision, numerous people at our firm just can't grasp the details and complain that it is not user friendly. The learning curve seems slow for some people to overcome, actually many people, but once it's figured out, there seems to be high value in their usage. I like the custom reporting tool but my users find it so difficult that most refuse to use it. I think the most successful firms will have a Vision expert and a strong IT (SQL, reports) and application team on staff. If not, you probably would need a consultant. My team has been able to keep everything in house to date.

The general ledger was easy and logical for an accountant. The work breakdown structure allowed for reporting consolidated reports as well as subsidiary level, office level, and departmental reports. Vision handled large amounts of transactions and data efficiently.

Vision offers functionality to do time sheets and expense reports remotely.

Vision has great security features that can remove access to certain areas or information based on an employees role in the Company. It is easy to remove rights immediately when employees leave the Company. In addition, roles can control who can make changes or post transactions.

Vision allows for automated reporting. For example, an Accounts Receivable report can be automatically sent to an employee's email on a scheduled basis.

The software is not logical for non-accountants. The software is primarily for A'E firms but very difficult for those users. Most of the engineers are unable to write and run project reports. When they do get a report, the report isn't easily understood.

The software is difficult to support internally and requires a database specialist to get maximum value. Vision contains a massive amount of data but the canned reports do not always offer the different types of data in same report. Unless you can write custom reports, you will have to pay expensive consulting fees.

This is the second iteration of Deltek that I have used and there have been great additions since the last version I used. There are so many great tools for project management and tracking performance metrics. I particularly like the ability to schedule your work and availability -- this is great for work sharing with different offices/teams.

There is a bit of a learning curve to get yourself up to speed using all of the programs capabilities, but there are good resources and tutorials available to make sure you are getting the most out of the product. If you are only using it for timesheet purposes, I am not sure it is worth the extra cost.

i found it easy to use. even though this software was way too complex for our company . i found if you use it to the max ,its a great product

help desk is quite complex. and having a third party for training became quite costly

In general, it meets our needs but it does seem that we are always being asked for customizations by our users that is not presently available.

Reporting performance is awful! We have had a consultant come out at least twice for an overall health check and recommendations and in my opinion we did not get a lot of value from this. It takes a ridiculously long time to run many of our reports and it's a constant source of pain for both the users and those of use who support the product. We have worked through all the troubleshooting steps that have been recommended and it's still an issue. It seems that anyone I talk to from larger firms all have the same issue. It feels as though Deltek works well for small-medium size firms but not larger global ones.

Very flexible piece of software that is simple to use and can be configured to be impactful in an array of situations. You do not need to be a programmer to learn how to set it up. The software is very responsive and it is seamless between time and billing.

The software is only available on Explorer. I find it difficult to somethings find out what information I need out of it. I have also had issues with the saving function, which results in lost work, time and sometimes having to completely start over. Would like to see the copy and paste functionality be improved.

This software is really quite powerful, and definitely a necessity when working in the architectural and engineering industry.

I would have to say that my biggest concern with this software is the user interface. It's truly terrible and looks like it was designed alongside Windows 98.

Intuitive in most places.. Lots of functionality, a one stop shop for many things for your business and web client makes it easy to collaborate and track no matter where you are.

Steep learning curve, weird glitches or places where you can get stuck because the system can be finicky. Slow loading times when you work in different parts of the app.

I like that it is easy to use and works well for time keeping. Its a nice way to keep track of my pay stubs and see what my current salary is and what deductions are happening.

I like the software, but I don't think my company uses it to its fullest potential. I can't see any of my employee information and seems like it could be a tool that allows me to see where I am at in the company with just a few clicks, but its not used that way. Seems like a very expensive timekeeping tool.
