Ajera good for small business, not great for Percent Complete Projects

Our A&E firm has had amazing results in project management and resource management since we switched to Ajera from Viewpoint Vista. The accounting functions are well-protected from mistakes, but limits options of seasoned accountants.

Functionality

Pros:

Simple interfaces, buildable reports are handy for all. If project managers are willing to enter data into their project, like start/stop dates, percent complete and resources there is a wealth of reporting available. I also like the alert function tied to widgets.

Cons:

prebuilt reports often lacking As an accountant, the software often blocks activities I can do in other ERP systems. I think Ajera is built like a more robust Quickbooks, protecting business owners from making mistakes, but it inhibits some accounting activities in the ledgers. Creative workarounds are possible, but sometimes annoying.

Reasons for switching to Deltek Ajera

For live information on labor, better scheduling

Pros:

Ease of use, immediate updates of charts and data, widget reporting, inquiry and exports to excel. Support has always been great, and software updates come from the company frequently to keep our software up to par.

Cons:

It does not "bug me", but having a working knowledge of SQL is helpful - not everyone has that. It can be a little intimidating at first for project managers, but with support, training, and reinforcement, they do come around and use it for their needs.

Wonderful software for a small firm in the Architectural Engineering Field.

Information is now at our fingertips in seconds. We previously would have to run report after report. Now we can use Ajera for almost all of our needs.

Functionality

Pros:

The widgets allow the users to build customized reports and graphs for their firm. Thus allows the principals to look at what they want to look at instead of what the software company thinks the principals will want to see. The widgets also allow the viewer to sort, filter or group the mini report without going into designer or changing what others see on their screens. Deltek has also increase task widgets. These are widgets that allow you to make changes to the data from the report. The design team loves getting suggestions from users and encourages us to submit ideas.

Cons:

Sometimes after a new update, there are glitches in the software. However, Deltek is very good at releasing corrections before most users notice the glitch. There is a lot of data entry in Ajera. However, you have data entry with every software. Even custom software requires certain items to be entered. And Deltek has added features like importing credit card transactions, import inhouse expenses, mobile timesheets and expense reports and importing journal entries to try to assist with the data entry. It also has an API system to allow Ajera to communicate with outside software. My final con would be that while there are custom field options, they are limited in placement. Vision has much better custom field options. However you pay more for vision and Ajera is for smaller companies that may not need that level of customization.

A reliable solution for time entry and project management.

Ajera is a very dependable tool that is not only useful but necessary for many companies - and my experience was that it was crucial to tracking time entered and how projects were flowing.

Pros:

The thing I like most about Deltek Ajera is how easy the software makes time entry for architecture businesses.

Cons:

The streamlined look of recent Ajera updates make it look like there are less options or features than there really are. It takes a little bit to get used to all of the menus and settings that can actually be useful for managing projects.

Pros:

I cannot think of anything positive about this software.

Cons:

There is nothing about this software that is intuitive. The help features do not actually help with anything and everything turns into a task that takes FOREVER to solve. You only get a certain amount of help tickets for software support and it does not come close to helping- they seem to take control and do things so quickly that you dont know how to do it yourself the next time. When you ask for them to slow down, they treat you like an absolute idiot. The sale of this product to my client feels like a total bait and switch. The amount of time spent TRYING to use this software is a total waste of funds.

Fairly robust and effective. Needs a UI update.

Overall, Ajera is not only useful and effective for the hour tracker capabilities, but also for accounting and business analytics purposes. The dashboards are very customizable with a decent learning curve.

Pros:

Deltek Ajera is very robust and allows the user to effectively track hours spent on various projects in real time.

Cons:

The expense reporting is slightly clunky and although other companies and software are able to effectively submit photos and expenses through mobile apps, the Ajera app could use an overhaul in this regard. It would also be helpful to have a time tracking system similar to Clockify where the user could start and stop time to better manage.

Deltek Ajera is a powerful tool that may be underutilized by smaller firms with dedicated staff.

Deltek University and available webinars have been very helpful. We have not yet been able to access user forums. Though the cost is significant, we have found that the program is a very useful tool though limited to the simpler tasks. Webinars are sometimes sales pitches for add-ons. Technical service has always been helpful. For team members with a limited amount of time for project management and accounting, getting into the complexities of the program to use it to its fullest value can be a daunting task.

Pros:

Ajera provides a great methodology for employee's time tracking to projects with task descriptions that easily converts to regular invoicing for professional services. Project management for progress tracking, budget checks and simple project costs analysis is extremely effective. Creation of charts is a simple one touch generation. Our accounting department is also very pleased with the billing generation system.

Cons:

Accessing and using all of the features of Ajera can be very complex and the learning curve can be great. The program's capabilities go so far beyond our daily uses that we need more detailed training to understand and fully use.
