Deltek Ajera Reviews & Product Details

Ajera is user friendly and if you are new to Ajera, having the help button and the amount of resources available is important and less hassle. Also, with the implementation of new ideas and features that Ajera provides makes this system a very structured system. Thats what I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing yet, I am still getting myself familiarized with the system. I've been using it for a year and so far, it has become easier for me to navigate and again, user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thought I knew it really well, and would have considered myself a "guru" as mentioned in the webinar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The meeting made me feel anything but a guru. What is Dela? Why have I never heard about it? I am literally in the Ajera program all day every day, shouldn't I have run into Dela by now? I am clueless.

Chat option? In my experience with chat bots, they are absolutely worthless. To me, they are just a waste of time until I have to reach a real person anyway. What's that you say? I can no longer call in to support? That blew my mind. What am I paying for? I thought part of my annual fee was to be able to call support as much as I wanted or needed to about anything Ajera related. Now I have to log in to the support center to log a case? Sorry, I don't use that much, I am unfamiliar with how to find that or create a case. I maybe have been there, but not enough to know these things off the top of my head.

OBBBA changes, the discussion was clear as mud. So you think the employees can be responsible for determining their own overtime? They can't even manage to do that correctly now, and then you throw in a check box to confuse them even more. Then you try to mention it in the webinar but give no clear direction as to how it works. Does the previous method of defining OT remain the same? Are they one and the same and both will work? Then if I see that someone has done it wrong, which they will, I have to go into Timesheet instead of Time and Expense to edit it? You mean the screen where I can't even see one full time card on the screen? That is utterly depressing and frustrating. Clearly Ajera already has a way to mark time as OT, why add another method? Why not just pull from the data that is already there?

I hung up on this webinar a bit early. I found it unprofessional and lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly and easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe Ajera could make significant improvements to the reports it offers users, or at the very least, provide more flexibility for users to customize reports according to their specific needs. In my experience, Ajera falls well short of BillQuick in terms of reporting options. While the available reports on my account are helpful for certain tasks, both my colleagues and I have frequently encountered situations where we needed a report to display particular information. However, when we attempted to use Ajera to generate these reports, we discovered that our options were quite limited and we couldn't access the reports we needed.

Once you get comfortable with Ajera, it's a fantastic platform. I was brought on to my company to clean up Ajera, and I used to go project by project. And now I have made custom widgets for everything. I cannot sing the praises of the support staff enough! The response time is extremely fast (even with level 4 general inquiries - I've never selected anything higher priority than that). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me quite some time to get used to the platform, but now I feel like a pro. I wish the client invoice review process was a bit easier for the PM approval. I wish some fields were in existance rather than needing to make a custom field. (For example, I made a custom field for Landlord/Parent Company, to list the main company, since the billing client is the direct billing entity of the franchisee or landlord. I've made custom fields for special admin review, AR follow up dates, extra notes, etc.) I understand the widgets is gen 2 and reports are gen 1, but there are some features I wish they had of the others'.

Menu selections and workflow is easy to use. Collecting and tracking of timesheets can be done in one module along with entering and approving expense reports. Customer support was helpful and timely to resolve questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The financial reporting and account features/reports are not as user friendly as other accounting software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a detailed, powerful product. I feel Deltek has been doing a good job of training and making information available to their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our conversion almost 9 years ago was lacking in information and training prior to going live. This was primarily due to our conversion specialist. Since then we have found ways to gather the necessary information and taken classes or self training to find ways to process and gather information. However, some of the critical processes were not explained and now we’re not utilizing certain steps to make the overall processes most effective.

The capability to make groups of changes instead of individual changes (i.e. staff type changes, rate changes, etc.)

I’m the administrator and main user in Ajera and find it difficult to get all necessary information and data into the system to use it most effectively and also find the time to do some of the higher level reporting.

Too much training is about reporting and project management features/data instead of providing basic data entry for new accounting support staff to make it accurate, standardized and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the real-time data capabilities of Deltek Ajera, which significantly enhance my ability to manage accounting and project tasks effectively. This feature ensures that I always have the most current information at my fingertips, allowing for more informed decision-making. I also find Deltek Ajera incredibly easy to use; its user-friendly interface makes navigating complex tasks straightforward, effectively reducing time spent on training and increasing overall productivity. The integration of all necessary functionalities into one system is a major benefit, eliminating the need for multiple tools and simplifying workflows. The initial setup of Deltek Ajera was pretty easy, making the transition smooth and hassle-free after switching from QuickBooks. Overall, these features collectively contribute to a seamless and efficient project management experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the process of creating custom reports in Deltek Ajera challenging. The current system lacks adequate resources such as support materials, instructional videos, or detailed 'How To' guides, which could greatly assist in simplifying and streamlining the report customization process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the customizable reports in Deltek Ajera. This feature adds significant value by allowing us to tailor the reports according to our specific needs. Since we operate in different market sectors, the ability to customize reports enables us to pinpoint which markets we should focus on for growth opportunities and which ones we should approach with reactive strategies, rather than investing in continuous marketing efforts. This adaptability in reporting not only aids in informed decision-making for our company but also provides clarity and targeted insights specific to our business dynamics.

I feel that there are numerous additional areas in Deltek Ajera that should be visible with the ability to filter out pertinent information. This would prevent the provision of excessive information based on an employee's type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Deltek Ajera for over a decade at a structural engineering firm, primarily for project management and accounting. One of the standout features of Deltek Ajera is its ability to facilitate a paperless environment, which has allowed us to easily expand and create additional locations. I particularly appreciate the customizable nature of the software; it allows us to tailor processes to meet specific user needs and delve deeply into data analysis. The customizable fields, widgets, and inquiries, along with the ease of creating dashboards, greatly enhance our operational efficiency. Another significant benefit of switching to Deltek Ajera from QuickBooks was the broader access and detailed project level reporting, which is essential in our high-volume setting. Furthermore, even though the initial setup required a lot of learning, having a great implementation specialist contributed to keeping the implementation under budget, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, these features and benefits reflect why I rate Deltek Ajera so highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

.NET / ClickOnce framework is a drag that they are slowly replacing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Ajera on a daily basis as the financial controller for our company. Within the last year we started using Ajera for all of our accounting needs. Prior we had two accounting systems. For accounts payable, it is easy to navigate and find what I am looking for. It is easy to make changes to the AP invoices entered, and there is a lot of room to type notes. I love that it is easy to attach invoices and documents. Ajera offers way better reporting than we were used to for Financial Statements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it very difficult to create custom reports and custom widgets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
