Deltek Vantagepoint Reviews & Product Details

I LOVE that the reports now reference what template report they are from when you create a favorite. I also love that we can individualize the screen designer (which is also so much easier to use than Deltek Vision). they really have made the software more user friendly.

I am not particularly fond of the new layout - everything sort of blends together. I am sure this will grow on me in time but it still sometimes takes me longer to navigate than I think it should.

We have one glitch with the upgrade process - for some reason our vendor addresses were not coming over. We discovered this over a month before our go-to live date and submitted a support case with Deltek. When we first set up our test environment four months prior, everything looked good. However, when we refreshed our database the addresses were not there (client addresses were). We are a small company and decided that if not resolved, we would still move forward with the upgrade. I had some back and forth with support with no resolution and long story short is we got a call the afternoon of our go-live date AFTER we had already upgraded with a resolution.

I have just started using Deltek VP in December, I have learned allot in the few short months. It is easy to use and navigate through the system. I am excited for the new features coming out this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes running reports, even though we set the period range or calendar range we are not getting the dates we need for the report. This could be user error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm so relieved to be on a browser-based solution that is user-friendly! The interface matches other systems that my users are familiar with. It was still a change management experience, but the hubs are nicely laid out. I feel the learning curve wasn't as high as I thought it might be. I appreciate the various resources that were available prior to conversion so that we could easily assess how ready we were for migration.

I am so excited for the dashboards though. Now that we've been on the system for a few months, I can customize them to meet our company's needs and make Vantagepoint that much better for our project managers and other users. The new mobile apps are also really slick and make life easier for our BD folks who are always on the go.

I'm glad that the idea portal exists and that Deltek listens to its customers. Sometimes I think they listen a little too much as they take on more than I think is feasible, but at least they have a regular release schedule that allows system administrators to determine when their next upgrade should be.

Some of the fields or options aren't always apparent. The installation of the software is a little more cumbersome and technical than Vision used to be where you could just download and install easily. Installation requires use of PowerShell scripting and such. Our Deltek partner was very helpful in getting us through it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is helpful that you can add modules as you need them. I highly recommend the CRM be added as soon as possible for all users. This make Vantagepoint a source of truth for clients and projects and can really help follow a project through the entire lifecycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature can also be a problem. It is very customizable and custom fields are easy to add. But that means people who don't know the software can add fields that already exist in Vantagepoint and they lose the functionality of the native VP fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that everything you need is in one place, easily able to be exported, and streamlined to be able to find anything. If there is something that is not understood by the user there is available trainings and resources to help you understand the process. I use both Vantagepoint and Deltek Talent every day and from a recruiting standpoint it is amazing. it was easy to train and learn on and I like that I am able to refresh a job on the website and it automatically updates to our hiring pages. It has integrated all of our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I wish there were easier way to edit steps on the talent portal. Being able to add and modify candidates more efficiently and being able to change steps if anything in the hiring process changes or needs to be modified. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is the amount of ways I can complete something like creating invoicea. It gives me all the formatting and ways that I need to do that. Everything is laid out cleanly and it's easy to keep track of all our employees work and timesheets. My role at the company is to be the Deltek expert so it's great that you offer the Town Halls and webinars to learn all about Deltek. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are 2 things i can think of that isn't horrible but I feel like could be better. First, I wish each report had the same options as the other reports have. Sometimes I have to use 2 reports to make one. And sometimes if the report is large enough I have to schedule it to run and get it at a later time. Second, when it comes to invoicing I wish there was an option to create one line for each role. What happens is we update our rate tables to show a more simple title view on the invoice. But because it is different employee titles labeled as one title the invoice still breaks out each one seperate. I have received alot of requests to get this on one line but there isn't that option right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We will be transitioning over to Vantagepoint in the coming months and I am excited for how user friendly this system will be for our users. Our current systems are very outdated and not user friendly. I believe Vantagepoint will allow our staff to be more self sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The help option within the interface doesn't always get me what I'm looking for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vp makes it easy for our employees at all levels to see what is occuring for each of our projects. The ability to create tasks and track milestones and deliverables has been critical for our PM's to effectively manage their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting functionality is difficult for us to manage. There is a good variety of reports, but not being able to generate a report or dashport that spans different types of "bases" is really frustrating and limiting for our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like some of the project management features, however, I previously used Ajera and I found it much more user friendly. I understand a lot of this is likely due to permissions, but am noticing a lot more bottlenecks and road blocks in VP compared to Ajera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mentioned some of it already. I feel like I need to go through often circuitous processes to accomplish tasks that I know are simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
