Unanet ERP GovCon

Unanet is extremely user friendly! My favorite aspect is the ability to review project performance data in real-time. This functionality makes it easy to provide our customers with data they need to determine project funding, spend plans, run-out dates, and so much more. In my career, I have used several project accounting systems, and Unanet outshines them all in terms of ease-of-use, flexibility, and customer support!

My one drawback is the absence of purchasing functionality, however, since Unanet is rolling that out soon, I really will not have any "cons" to speak of!

We utilize Unanet timesheet, expenses and invoicing functions. These functions are very helpful in streamlining our business processes and provide required/validated controls as a Government contractor. There are also many resources available to support users, such as Knowledge Centers, Help files, frequent webinars, Unanet University, etc.

After using the software for four years (including recent two also on invoicing), I still couldn't troubleshoot certain issues myself and sometimes unsure of certain data flows. Hopefully my confidence grows as I continue using the product.

It has a broad range of capabilities such as Accounting, Project Management, HR and Prospect Management that are all tied together. The software has great capabilities and customization. It operates faster than other packages I've used. A powerful and comprehensive database.

I find this software to be somewhat "daunting" for new users. Particularly for staff that have never used an ERP system before. It requires considerable training and customized settings before it can be utilized.

- On start-up many of the screens are "blank". It requires the user to input data to get started.
- No "standard" dashboards. Everything must be customized and set-up from scratch.
- Training videos are great, but it requires new users to setup additional passwords to secondary web sites. A bit of a deterrence for staff that already have too many passwords. Should be a direct link.
- Multiple places to access information which can be helpful for regular users, but new users get confused where to find information.
- Some inconsistency in how data is entered (top, bottom middle of screen/menu).
- Needs a few more "out-of-the-box" solutions, dashboards and reports to help new users.
