The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

Deltek Costpoint

Strengths

  • Project accounting purpose-built for government contracting, with DCAA audit support in the core
  • Costpoint GCCM is US-hosted and documented as FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent per DoD policy, supporting DFARS 7012 and CMMC
  • Mobile time and expense with camera receipt capture, intelligent character recognition and duplicate detection
  • Ask Dela, AI agents and gen-AI Smart Summaries ship as part of the platform

Limitations

  • No published price list; every deployment is quoted through a sales conversation
  • The compliance machinery that makes it right for government contracting is overhead for companies outside that world
  • Web services access has to be requested through a Deltek service request rather than self-served

Workday

Strengths

  • Enterprise-grade cloud financials, planning, consolidation and reporting on one data model
  • End-to-end automation across record to report, procure to pay and contract to cash
  • Sana AI agents automate finance processes

Limitations

  • Aimed at large enterprises, likely more than smaller companies need
  • Pricing is quoted on request, with no public list price
