Great Software but a bit outdated
Good, needs work on the interface.
Pros
It’s a beast of a program but it gets the job done WELL and on micro scales
Cons
It’s not necessarily a “user friendly” software.

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.
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.

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.

Ugggghhh, Can't wait to switch to something else
Overall, it feels old, outdated, and clunky. We've been using it at my office for close to 10 years, and in that time, I don't think I've ever seen any sort of updates with any new/improved features. In the past, I reached out to offer suggestions for improvements, and they always went ignored. I'm not even certain if Deltek continues to offer support and update this program anymore--for all I know, we may be one of the last few people still using this software. I've never found it to be helpful in my role, nor efficient. It tends to create more problems than it solves. I keep hoping my company will upgrade and find a new/better software for this purpose.
Pros
I do like the conditional formatting--we use that a lot to highlight projects with overdue notes, or color code fees so we can see patterns at a quick glance.
Cons
Updating project records. UGH, what a pain. I do this almost daily, and it's such a slow process, opening each record, having to find the proper tab, the proper field, make an update, wait for the record for save, etc. I wish there were a way to make quick updates from a dashboard.
Although we can add custom fields, which is a plus, these custom fields are hard to keep in set order. When someone goes into the Custom Fields admin portion, they often click the column header to quickly find the field they're looking for, and when that happens, it reorders all the fields in all the tabs. And the only way to correct this is to painstakingly move each individual field up or down to the right order. Can't drag the line to where I want it, and certainly can't move multiple lines at a time. It's a HUGE pain and very time consuming to correct.
There are more things that annoy me, but those are generally my two biggest issues when using Ajera.

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.
