"Effective Planning Tool with Gantt Chart Limitations"
5/5
What do you like best about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I appreciate Deltek Vantagepoint for the way it effectively facilitates cross-hub connections through hyperlinks. I like the ability to click on a project manager's name within a project hub and be directly taken to their employee hub, which makes navigation efficient and enhances the interconnectedness of different modules. This feature simplifies accessing various sections of the software, thereby improving overall usability and making my workflow smoother when managing projects and resources.

What do you dislike about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I find the mobile app for Deltek Vantagepoint quite clunky and not user-friendly, which is disappointing given the modern design of the web interface. It feels like the app is not keeping up with the standards of other apps available on the market. Additionally, there is a significant issue with exporting data from resource planning into a Gantt chart that shows phase milestones and staff assignments. The process is neither straightforward nor clean, making it difficult for our firm to visualize milestone deadlines effectively. While there is a report for this, it is not user-friendly, which is a major complaint within our firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I particularly like the resource planning feature, which provides valuable insights into who is over or under-utilized, allowing for more efficient use of team resources. The switch from Bill Quick to Deltek Vantagepoint was beneficial as it is more reliable and requires less manual intervention, enhancing overall operations and productivity.

What do you dislike about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I find the reporting capabilities in Deltek Vantagepoint lacking and could definitely use improvement. Additionally, the initial setup process was not straightforward and required a significant amount of time to complete. Even after two years, we are still working on customizing and implementing it fully, which indicates that the system is quite complex and not easy to customize for our specific needs.

Perhaps because of these issues, I rate my likelihood of recommending it to others very low, at a 1 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how Deltek Vantagepoint allows us to customize it according to the way our business operates. This flexibility is crucial since we are a multi-company and multicurrency organization, and Vantagepoint does a wonderful job of consolidating all the different entities into one seamless system.

What do you dislike about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I find it problematic that when new features are rolled out, especially significant ones, users are not provided with the option of having Deltek consultants assist in the implementation. This makes it challenging because some features require substantial customization and cannot be activated through a simple process like just clicking a button.

What do you dislike about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I am frustrated by not being able to have multiple draft invoices on a single project, which complicates the invoicing process. Additionally, the initial setup was difficult due to tricky data migration; our data wasn't in the correct structure and didn't transfer properly. This required multiple test runs and involvement from a data migration team to clean up the data. Once this was resolved smooth sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I find that Deltek Vantagepoint's billing feature doesn't work well for us because it doesn’t allow us to create multiple draft invoices for a single project. This limitation complicates our billing process and restricts our flexibility. Additionally, the initial setup was not easy, due to our own internal complexities, which made it challenging to get started. Furthermore, there are times when it doesn't recognize my accent, making voice interaction less reliable for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Transition to Vantagepoint with Seamless Functionality"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Deltek Vantagepoint?

I love the dashboards in Deltek Vantagepoint, as they significantly enhance the clarity and ease of reporting, especially to those who are not familiar with accounting. This feature is particularly beneficial because it simplifies the complex task of financial reporting, making it more accessible to a broader audience within the organization. Additionally, the transition from Vision to Deltek Vantagepoint was planned meticulously for five years, and while it was a heavy lift, it was worth the effort. We managed to carry out the transition seamlessly over a weekend, which minimized downtime and disruption to our operations. The decision to switch was majorly driven by Deltek Vantagepoint offering more functionality than Vision, which was an advantageous move even though it meant giving up some of Vision's features. Overall, the benefits provided by Deltek Vantagepoint in terms of functionality and user-friendly interfaces largely outweigh any drawbacks, making it a valuable tool for our organization.
