Deltek Vision

"A Fully Integrated Solution Software with Great Features"

Comentarios: Deltek Vision has a database where I can put all my information for each assignment / project. Deltek for me is a fully integrated service product that can provide Managers, Heads and other office staff detailed information about the financial status of any department or segment in real time.

Puntos a favor: Deltek Vision has easy to use tools that allow all the operators – from high level Managers to back office staff members the ability to view and understand where the company’s resources and project budgets stand at any given time. Deltek Vision allows a lot of customization and flexibility that can be very helpful for any individual in his company. One amazing feature is that Deltek Vision provides extensive functions of project management all in one single program like expense reports, budget planning, time sheets, auditing etc. Managing work utilization is very useful for me because a lot of my team members are spread in distinct locations throughout the country who are working on the same project.

Contras: A major flaw of Deltek is that the system's outlook is very outdated. I personally felt that Deltek Vision was lacking in the expense report department. Reports are very hard to export. Even so, when I export the reports to excel, the formatting is completely undesirable, and I must spend a few minutes to format them.

"Vision to Vantagepoint"

Comentarios: We were using Excel for timesheets so having time and expense in one place and tying into our business process is wonderful. We also have the ability to get nice reports.

Puntos a favor: The software helps streamline some of our processes.

Contras: Not easy to navigate through CRM but here to learn.

"Comprehensive software solution, but plan on building your processes around it"

Comentarios: I've been the Vision champion in our organization since 2008 when we began to use it. Vision has been steadily improving over the past 10 years and also been getting left behind in innovation. Over our time with Vision we've evaluated other software at a few points and have not found a single solution that can provide a similar integrated experienced. The power of Vision and the reporting is built on Microsoft's SQL engine, but it does require users to be invested in learning it's use to get the most out of it. Without proper time devotion, training, and some trial and error it does leave users frustrated. Along with the power of the product comes a lot of over-complication and reported amounts that often aren't as expected or isn't fully explained or clear on where the data is coming from and what it means. This is probably the primary problem with Vision in my eyes - data labeled in one area of the program isn't the same as data reported under the same or very similar label in another part of the program. The end user experiences and ease of use is greatly lacking, but should be vastly improved as Vision is (finally) becoming modern and migrating from a .NET platform to a HTML/web-based platform. This upgrade shows promise of having better end user use and intuitiveness. We are hopeful that Vision will continue to be a tool for our company for many more years.

Puntos a favor: Powerful reporting and a mostly, all-in-one solution for managing our firm and projects

Contras: Usability. The lack of a user to be able to sit down with the product and pull the data they want without significant training. Data reported is calculated differently in part of the software - revenue in one area is actual billed amount while revenue in another is hours worked times billing rates.

"Great time manager!"

Comentarios: The software/service was good overall as it was easy to use.

Puntos a favor: I am not a current user but, I have used it a previous companies. I thought it was the best time tracker/manager I have used anywhere. Jobs were cataloged well and everything was easy to use and find.

Contras: I can't remember anything I didn't like about it. Although, I should have been more diligent about inputting my time.

"Effective but not efficient"

Puntos a favor: It's a good tool to keep track of work-in-progress and everyday accounting transactions.

Contras: It's not so user friendly and not so efficient and expensive tool for the same things that can be done with Sage software.
