Occasionally upgrades break things. And it can be a pain because I also need to upgrade PMC and Open Plan simultaneously Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As time has gone on Deltek Cobra has improved in leaps and bounds. I first started using Cobra when was v4.7 and now it is up to v8.5. The functionality of the system is excellent and allows you to monitor project performance easily. It also enables the ability to look at forward looking indicators such as tcpi's and has the functionality to do what if's etc by utliing it's cost classes and cost sets.

My only complain regarding Cobra would still be the graphical outputs. The templates for reporting are basic but you can redesign the templates to your design, but I still believe that the graph reports look "old". However by using other Deltek products such as Winsigh and PM Compass and its dashboards; this can be overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
