"Ajera a powerful accounting program"
4/5
What do you like best about Deltek Ajera?

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.

What do you dislike about Deltek Ajera?

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.

What do you dislike about Deltek Ajera?

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.

"Enhanced Project Visibility and Custom Reporting with Deltek Ajera"
4/5
What do you like best about Deltek Ajera?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deltek Ajera?

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.

"Seamlessly Transitioned Our Workflow to Digital"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Deltek Ajera?

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.

"Effortless AP Management with Intuitive Navigation"
4/5
What do you like best about Deltek Ajera?

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.

What do you dislike about Deltek Ajera?

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