Deltek Vision

Not Updated but gets job done

Comments: Good, but upgrades and updates need to be prioritized

Pros:

Organization and visualization capabilities

Cons:

Not modernized at all, seems like it’s running through an early 2000’s model

Adequate, reliable. Not as user friendly as others

Comments: When using Vision, it was very adequate. However, now that I use Monograph, I see how much more capability Monograph has and how user friendly it is.

Pros:

It does its job. It's reliable. It has functionality especially for management and accounting departments. Overall, it's a solid program with proven results and a user base that reinforces trust.

Cons:

It's a bulky program compared to the web based program I use now. It wasn't compatible with some browsers so I had IE just for timesheets. User interface wasn't the most intuitive and customer service wasn't built in. Therefore I had to ask my accounting manager for her to contact customer service with questions.

Accounting was an Afterthought

Comments: Horrible Horrible Horrible - that is why we are searching for another software. I do not recommend - at least not for accounting purposes. Save your accounting team the headache!

Pros:

There is not "like most" - Difficulty in correcting JE's on a bank account. Meaning - you cannot fix. I would NOT recommend this product for accounting purposes. It's outdated and not forgiving. Reports are less than desirable to look at, and most information is difficult to locate. In order to get what you want you will have to export reports in excel, merge them together and fix for yourself. This is very time consuming and a waste of daylight hours.

Cons:

You have to work backwards when posting a transfer of funds to a account. If you don't your screwed!

Vision to Vantagepoint

Comments: We were using Excel for timesheets so having time and expense in one place and tying into our business process is wonderful. We also have the ability to get nice reports.

Pros:

The software helps streamline some of our processes.

Cons:

Not easy to navigate through CRM but here to learn.

Effective but not efficient

Pros:

It's a good tool to keep track of work-in-progress and everyday accounting transactions.

Cons:

It's not so user friendly and not so efficient and expensive tool for the same things that can be done with Sage software.
