The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

Deltek Replicon

Strengths

Preconfigured labour rules for more than 145 jurisdictions across over 75 countries, maintained by the vendor
DCAA-ready time entry, FAR and DFARS workflows and FedRAMP Moderate authorisation
Automatic time capture from more than 100 work applications
Time, attendance, leave and expenses in a single application

Limitations

No published pricing and no self-service sign-up; evaluation starts with a demo
Aimed at global, project-based organisations rather than small teams
Sold as part of the Deltek platform rather than as a standalone brand

Deputy

Strengths

Biometric time clocking and a shared-device clock cover on-site and shift work
Deep payroll and point-of-sale connector list, including ADP, Gusto, Paychex, Xero, QuickBooks and Square
Demand forecasting and auto-scheduling build rosters against wage and labour budgets
Single sign-on, custom access levels and location hierarchies on the Pro plan

Limitations

No client invoicing: timesheets are built for payroll rather than for billing work
Forecasting, auto-scheduling and biometric clocking all require the Core plan or above
Payroll, HR, Messaging+ and Analytics+ are separately priced add-ons, and Deputy Payroll carries a monthly base fee
No free tier; Lite is the cheapest paid plan
