"Vista"
4/5
What do you like best about Vista?

I find the most helpful tool in Vista is the Work Centers. We teach our employees to start and end their day in the Work Center. Lots of information on one screen, and it is easy to move back and forth through different modules to get quick answers. And if you need to make updates or changes, just a double-click takes you there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

Not being able to customize certain Grid Views within a program module at a global level. A lot of time could be saved by allowing an administrator to set up the company-preferred view one time rather than every user needing to repeat a process with directions or instructions or another seasoned user helping them get their screens in the proper order Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive & Flexible Software for Construction"
5/5
What do you like best about Vista?

We switched to Vista 10 years ago looking for an integrated solution as our production and accounting were on separate systems. After looking at several solutions, we chose Vista because of the flexibility and its ability to comprehensively cover everything that we needed as a general contractor. They are constantly making improvements to the platform, and most shortfalls that the program has, they either have a strategic partnership with a company to fill those gaps, or just outright integrate them into the software itself. Being SQL based, adding additional 3rd party programs for 2 way integration has been a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

If you choose Vista, make an effort to have a dedicated team work on the program. Because of its flexibility, you are not getting a canned program that you can start and go. Taking the time to have champions and do it right pay big dividends in the end.

Some of the ways to get information out of Vista is a little difficult just out of the box, especially on the financial side They have offered a free 3rd party solution to assist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VISTA & The Cloud"
4/5
What do you like best about Vista?

The software itself is excellent, for the most part, easy to access. One extremely nice part about Viewpoint is the self-help features and their Knowledge Base. 9 times out of 10 you can find the answers to your problems by simply searching and reading the help articles. There is the 10% where you can't but submitting a case is as easy as it gets. The team is there to help you and will remove in to do so also. Building your own forms is a nice tool but it would be nice to turn off some of the warnings that are not helpful. Being able to have viewpoint one and HR management working closely together (one click of a button) definitely makes things easier. Being able to do your entire job in one software is nice!

What do you dislike about Vista?

When moving to the cloud it seems there is a bit of a delay in the response time when clicking applications, sometimes it also freezes. The move to the cloud was supposed to make it easier for service and MSI but it seems MSI still does not talk to HR management where we can do away with how they enter their time.
