The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

AFAS Software

Strengths

ERP, finance, HR, payroll, CRM and projects in one system rather than separate modules
More than 100 dashboards work out of the box, without custom development
Data stored on servers in the Netherlands
Standard product is customised without programming

Limitations

Only the entry-level bookkeeping package carries a published rate; ERP, HR, payroll and CRM are quoted per organisation
Cloud only, there is no on-premise option
Standardisation is the point, so unusual processes have to bend or move to a connected system

Deltek Vantagepoint

Strengths

Purpose-built ERP for architecture, engineering and consulting firms
Unifies project management, project accounting, CRM, resource planning and financials in one system
Project accounting with budgets, planned versus actuals and project profitability
Time and expense tracking with AI-assisted expense receipt capture

Limitations

Pricing is not published; it is quoted based on firm size and modules
Built for project-based professional services firms rather than a single function

How we check reviews

Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.

Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.

What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.

A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
