What I like best about Deltek Maconomy is that it is built specifically for project-based organisations and not just adapted from a generic financial system. The tight integration between project management, finance, time registration, and invoicing gives a strong end-to-end data consistency, which is critical when managing complex consulting and engineering projects.

From an IT and business perspective, I particularly value Maconomy’s single data model, where project financials, WIP, revenue recognition, and cost control are handled in one coherent ERP platform. This reduces reconciliation work and improves financial transparency and governance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maconomy has not developed much over the last 10 years. As we upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.6.3 we did only see minor improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Deltek Maconomy primarily as a CRM system, and it partially meets our needs in this area. One of its main strengths is the ability to continuously adapt and customize the system to fit organizational processes. In many cases, its effectiveness depends on how well it is structured and configured internally, which gives a lot of flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the same time, the system has certain limitations, particularly related to data fields and structure, which can restrict more advanced use cases. It is also difficult to assess the system uniformly, as much depends on how it is designed and used within the organization. From a user perspective, the desktop interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly, while the web version, although more modern, lacks some of the functionalities available in the desktop version.

What I like best about Deltek Maconomy is its ability to centralize project management, finance, resource planning, and operational processes within a single platform. In project-based and international environments, it provides strong visibility and control across different areas of the business, helping teams work in a more coordinated and structured way.

I also value its integration capabilities, as they help connect different business functions and improve collaboration between departments. From my experience, this contributed to more efficient workflows and better operational consistency across the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One aspect I dislike about Deltek Maconomy is that the user interface can sometimes feel complex and less intuitive, especially for occasional users or employees who are not highly familiar with ERP systems. Certain workflows require several steps, which may affect the overall user experience and learning curve.

Additionally, while the platform is very comprehensive, this complexity can make onboarding and adoption slower without proper training and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an end user, I primarily use this tool to enter my timesheets and check my resource plan. I appreciate its predictability—once you become familiar with its quirks, it actually becomes quite efficient to use. My favorite feature is the 'Copy from...' option on the timesheets, which allows me to copy entries from a previous week. Compared to other corporate timesheet tools I have used before, this one helps me spend less time filling out my timesheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are several minor improvements that could make the software more user-friendly. One aspect I find frustrating is that some actions require an excessive number of clicks, even though they should be more direct. For example, you have to click 'create' just to activate the timesheet before you can add a timesheet line or copy a previous week, which seems unnecessary. Additionally, the Favorite feature on the timesheets is not very intuitive and can be confusing to navigate. When I try to use it, I often encounter error messages. For instance, it doesn't automatically save a required 'location pricing' field, and this causes it to produce an error every time I select that favorite. In general, it feels like as an end user, I want to be guided better when it comes to errors popping up. (for example: clearer error messages, a mini-wizard telling me what I should do to make the error disappear, ...) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a creative agency, introducing Maconomy has been a significant step forward for us. It’s a robust and comprehensive ERP system that brings real clarity and structure to our operations.

• Highly detailed and transparent project tracking: From initiation to financial closure, we can clearly follow the status of each project.

• Cross-department collaboration: Multiple divisions can work together seamlessly within the same system, which has strengthened internal alignment.

• Customizable to our needs: Maconomy can be tailored to our company’s specific workflows, and it supports many of our unique internal processes exceptionally well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

• Complexity in some workflows: Due to the system’s size and depth, certain processes can become more complicated than necessary.

• Time-intensive customization: While personalization is possible, implementing these adjustments often takes longer than expected.

Maconomy has undeniably elevated the way we operate. Its effectiveness, however, depends heavily on how committed the organization is to using it as a fully integrated, company-wide system. With the right level of engagement, it becomes a powerful asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
