Deltek Costpoint Reviews & Product Details

Being a government contractor and being compliant with all the regulations required for being a government contractor, it is critical to have a system that can handle and provide accurate, reliable, quick data to report to the government. Costpoint allows indirect rates to be built in the system that fit the need of the company. Every company is different so having flexibility is critical to be successful. The system brings in planning, contracts, billing, receivables, payables, timesheets, expense reports, and everything required to be successful in accounting. Built into Costpoint also is a report writer that allows you to build reports on any data that is in the system. This allows you to easily custom reports for customers or build analytic dashboards for your executive team. In addition, Deltek University provides training tools to ensure all your staff can be properly trained and up to date on everything they do in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downfall of Costpoint is planning. It is still a little buggy but if that is the worst thing of the whole system that is not bad. The rest of the system is great. Another area that Deltek needs to integrate into Costpoint is Cobra the project management system (EVMS). I believe this is in the horizon in the next 2 years but the fact this is a stand alone system and not integrated is painful when you get a new project and have to set-up instead of having it feed from Costpoint to that module.

I like CPs ability to sort of flow like water, the ability to build out your own mods to fit your businesses needs and projects is definitely a big key. It's also important from a compliance standpoint which Deltek and CP lead the industry . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As am implementor and service provider I feel at times CP can be too much for a client which is why vantage is great. I feel as there has been new UX changes that has made improvements on things I disliked. Also feel not the product itself but rather dealing with help desk when something does break. It's like pulling teeth. Also right now the update schedule is rough on many clients especially smaller ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a shared service user, for a government contractor utilizing project accounting, once you get familiar with the system nauces the interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it has got better over the last few years, integrating Deltek Costpoint with other software systems can sometimes be challenging and requires additional technical support or custom development. Deltek service model is to direct clients to consulting partners that can also make it a costly solution.

Reporting capability is limited outside of the "out of the box" formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stability of functionality. While the product releases new enhancements and functionality quite frequently, the product still allows users to utilize the functionality that they have been using for years. Roll out of changes is done in rounds and tends to not be too much at one time, this makes it easier for my team to consume the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the ease of using Costpoint and the many different ways to bring CP to users. I have not used Della yet, but I’m very much looking forward to that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things that I find somewhat troublesome is the two line data in reports. I find it very confusing to read the data when it’s presented in this manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
