The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Deltek not one product but a portfolio, including Costpoint, Vantagepoint, Maconomy, Ajera, ComputerEase, GovWin IQ and Replicon, so the right choice depends on the industry before the feature set; IQMS iQMS is now sold as DELMIAWorks under Dassault Systemes, and neither name appears on UK G-Cloud, AWS Marketplace or GSA Advantage, so no per unit figure is published on any public procurement catalogue
  • They diverge on capability: Deltek covers Project accounting, IQMS covers Quality management.
