I find Deltek Open Plan pretty straightforward and easy to use. It makes my work easy in the office regarding tracking project progress and cost variance, and it's pretty easy for me to track everything and keep the record. The initial setup was also pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the user interface can be more friendly or easier, and we also can include AI in it, which would be pretty helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Deltek Open Plan's import tools, particularly their ability to seamlessly ingest Excel files. This feature is incredibly beneficial as it automates the process of building schedules, including integrating necessary resources, which significantly streamlines my workflow. The efficiency and automation capabilities of the import tools effectively reduce time spent on manual data entry and improve overall productivity, making the task of schedule management more straightforward and less cumbersome. This feature stands out because it allows me to focus more on strategic planning rather than the intricacies of data organization. I also value how my coworkers can use Cobra to sync our data, ensuring consistency and collaboration within our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Open Plan for 12 years now. I have witnessed other scheduling tools trying to be implemented and none of them can stand a chance against Open Plan. Most try to replicate the utilization that Open Plan gives with critical path and required dates, but again, they do not hold a candle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me the dislike is slowness that happens with Open Plan, although I think that is just a facility thing and not exactly Open Plan..... But it is still something that frustrates people and makes them think that Open Plan is too cumbersome to use, etc. etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
