Deltek Vantagepoint Reviews & Product Details

I like that Deltek Vantagepoint provides a centralized place to access project and financial information. In my day-to-day work, being able to look up project details and financial data in the same system is very useful, especially when researching transactions or reconciling information between different systems. The reporting and search capabilities also make it easier to investigate issues without having to rely on multiple sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vantagepoint has a lot of functionality, but that can also make the system feel complex at times. Some screens and workflows are not immediately intuitive, especially for occasional users, and it can take time to learn where information is located. I would like to see simpler navigation and a more streamlined experience for common tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We launched Vantagepoint on June 23, 2025, and the rollout went much more smoothly than we expected. The user-friendly interface feels intuitive for our users, and the dashboards provide strong visibility into their projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of the material in the Learning Hub and the help documentation is outdated. When I try to follow the steps, it often turns into guesswork because the instructions no longer match the current system. It also feels like sharing ideas in the Idea Portal is of little use. There are many great suggestions that seem like simple fixes, but they’ve been sitting there for literal years. The invoice template editor isn’t very user-friendly either, and there’s no option to edit the number of decimal places for percent complete. We have not been satisfied with Deltek's support team. The response times are often longer than anticipated and the time it takes to resolve issues seems to get longer and longer over time. The representatives often feel under trained and the support doesn't leave us feeling confident. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how configurable and customizable Deltek Vantagepoint is. It makes it easy for me to write reports from the database. As a Senior Business Systems Analyst, I handle BI reporting and integration development, and Deltek Vantagepoint really accelerates both these tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Deltek Vantagepoint could use more robust logging for system administrators, which would really solve a bunch of problems. Also, trace logging on both client and server sides and restoring the relationship with Salesforce and Tableau to bundle Tableau licenses would be beneficial. The initial setup was tricky for us, especially with running the PowerShell file repeatedly because it kept failing. We faced challenges with user training in areas like Opportunities and Projects merging, and Clients and Vendors merging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Deltek Vantagepoint is one of the only comprehensive ERPs for project and financial reporting in professional services. It has modules for cash receipts and disbursements, AP/AR, journal entries, opportunity tracking, project management and performance reviews, and 1099s. It helps me report monthly and annual financial results and project performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have issues with Purchase Orders, the Fixed Asset module, and AP approval routing. The dashboards don’t work well because they lack intermodule capabilities, and I can’t get a report that combines employee hub data with project data. I have to download data to Excel and use lookups or index match to get it into a format I can use. Setup also took months of data cleanup and scrubbing, and we ran the systems in parallel for a month. I find the reporting limitation absolutely unacceptable.

I think Vantagepoint is a premier ERP solution for A/E businesses. Deltek listens to their client and updates their software to assist their clients win work and manage their projects efficiently, providing their firm with a lot of great analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some areas that can't be customized as much as clients would like - individual billing overrides, only tables; some areas such as project creation screens can't be customized, bank codes can't be inactivated, some workflows are tricky to navigate without Stored Procedures. Although Deltek has the Ideas Portal to voice your opinions, there are some ideas that have been requested for years that would be significant to the daily user if they were implemented.

That it focuses on Engineering companies, and the struggles that we deal with attempting to make it easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the timesheets could be linked to Outlook calendars. I have seen it in the CRM where we can assign a meeting to a project number, so I feel like the technology is out there and how great would it be if it autofilled your timesheet based upon your scheduled meetings. More consistency when we set up companywide meetings. I also don't like the dashboards, they are very hard to set up. I've attempted to get help and they aren't great.

Better than vision product, better outer face, improved reporting than vision Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backward when it comes to user improvements. Simple actions like clicking to download reports feel clunky. Auto-sending invoices isn’t well supported, so invoicing ends up being very manual. Batch emails also fail often. There should be easier invoicing tips and clearer steps, like being able to click and quickly find subtotal balances. It also feels like too many update windows are missing, which makes the overall workflow harder than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once familiar, there’s a ton of information ready at the fingertips! And we haven’t even scratched the surface of all the features it has to offer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of customizability - which is great! - but making sure our data hygiene is strong is a challenge. We would also like a greater ability to use and maintain API keys so we can do more custom reporting within our own dashboards we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. I have been using Deltek for 21 years. Mainly Vision for the last 20 years, moved to Vantagepoint at the beginning of the year, and I love the new software and where everything is housed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to switch from different screens and keep the same project information instead of having to rekey the project number. Billing/billing terms are a big area of my concentration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can open multiple tabs instead of working in just one tab at a time. Interactive billing is a useful tool but not perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*Clunky User Interface: The workflows are completely non-intuitive. Tasks that should take seconds require navigating through overly complex menus and excessive clicks.

*Rigid Reporting & General Ledger Navigation: Pulling clean data, tracking metrics, or exporting functional financial reports is a headache. The formatting breaks during basic exports, forcing manual corrections outside the system.

*Counterintuitive Workflows: Simple daily entries, billing adjustments, or timesheet oversight feel like fighting the system rather than working with a tool built for accounting efficiency. The software delivers a negative return on investment by combining higher financial costs with increased manual labor and reduced productivity. We are paying a premium price for a system that actively lengthens daily workflows rather than streamlining them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
