There are some processes that are complicated and not easy to understand. There are a lot of fields that need to be filled in in order to properly report data. Can be time consuming for data entry accountants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It's construction software that encompasses all aspects of the business. It has modules for everything from equipment monitoring to service work. It's a one-catch-all accounting software for construction companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

Support sometimes lacks. Being forced to move to the cloud is not very comforting. Pricing is somewhat expensive, especially when being told we have to move to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great accounting software, construction specific metrics."
4/5
What do you like best about Vista?

Great for construction accounting and job cost functionality. Our company used quickbooks prior and found it lacking in many areas compared to what Vista offers. Highly recccomend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

More costly than a quickbooks type program. Has good metrics if you upgrade to the online cloud version but also that is more costly and we haven't upgraded yet due to cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vista A Great Construction Accounting Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Vista?

Vista is a program that is relatively easy to use and understand once you get the hang of it. It allows you to tackle AP, AR, Payroll, and other programs for accounting use. Vista has many helpful reports when looking for transactions or additional varying information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

Due to Vista being on the cloud, it halts work if the network is down on either side at any point. Some programs are slow regardless due to how the system works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fan of Vista"
5/5
What do you like best about Vista?

My new favorite addition to the Employee Portal is Automatic Invoicing. It's a game-changer that has made it much easier to tackle the incoming invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

Although Vista has made it easier to log in with one login ID, navigating through the 4 Viewpoint Customer Success Resources is still tricky. I would like to see something that is more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I love the Accounts Payable module, specifically AP Unapproved Invoice Entry. Being able to drag and drop invoices straight from emails into Viewpoint Teams and then upload them to AP Unapproved Invoice Entry has been a game changer. I also appreciate AP Vendor Drilldown, as it allows you to see any AP payments made to any vendor and allows for easy invoice/vendor research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

There seems to be some glitches with Vista as it throws up a lot of error messages and sometimes takes forever to load. It is very easy to accidentally change information in most modules. For example, I have experienced a lag issue and think I'm typing in the filter bar but am instead replacing important info in one of the line items without realizing and next thing I know my info is overwritten.

"Viewpoint/Vista Financial Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Vista?

There are multiple modules to choose from, which you can select based on your company's needs.

You are able to add user-defined fields if needing more specific details for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

The reports are the downside. Anytime you want a change made or a report made specific for your company, it costs. If you are familiar with Crystal Reports, you can write custom reports. And Viewpoint warns that the custom reports may not be supported with any update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and Versatile"
5/5
What do you like best about Vista?

When first learning what Vista is and how to utilize the application, it can seem very overwhelming and there are a lot of moving parts to it, but that is the nature of ERPs. This application is great and as a systems administrator, I love it. Support is usually on the ball and pretty responsive, their knowledge base answers most of my questions and their Viewpoint Academy provides great training content. We are all about automation and making our jobs easier, and we love how this application can cater towards that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vista?

I would appreciate more training/videos/classes for IT administrators that covers all aspects of being an admin for this software. There are bits and pieces of training, but nothing that really covers it all. It took time to learn everything I've know about Vista and training new upcoming admins with proper videos/classes would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Viewpoint Vista is not the most user friendly for the field staff, who often have slower internet speeds to no internet speeds and can require some time to get used to the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
