Avaza Reviews

The reporting tools and ease of use. Also being able to access it from my phone

It would be ideal to create custom reports and save them in the UI. Extracting and massaging data is cumbersome and rather old school.

I've automated customer weekly reports to share our time entries weekly. This prevents them from rejecting time a month later.

The reports are so helpful for project management, invoicing, and tracking of where we are across the organization. We know at a glance employee progress and any potential overages vs timelines, cost vs billable, and can take all of the information and make decisions quickly. The customer service is fantastic- we are able to connect within a few minutes, either by chat or by video when necessary. When I have questions about the platform and how to make it work even better for us, they are helpful and there is always a solution. They work very patiently to understand and assist us in any question or struggle to find a resolution. It's a huge reason why I wouldn't want to look elsewhere for another program. It's hard to find an actual person to talk to for customer service, and they exceed my expectations and needs when I need to contact them. They also take suggestions on how to enhance the program when we have ideas. So it feels like I have a hand in improving an already great product.

Some small helpful additions would be great!:

1. Logging Hours Reminders: I wish some reminders could be sent daily for employees to log their time after a particular hour. With contractors, out of state employees, different time zones, forgetting happens and it can really alter reports if not everyone has clocked time on a project accurately.

2. Full Circle Reporting: I also wish there was a way to generate one full report that would put all information in one place to show: Employee total hours for the month, how far along a person is on a project, any time overages, and verify that an invoice has been sent out for that project, as well as the status of the corresponding invoice- paid, partially paid, or late. This would solve a huge block of time when tracking this necessary information at the beginning of each month: being able to have a full report on all connected data/projects within a time frame.

3. Timesheets and Task Logging: When we set it up for an employee to log time via timesheet, we get a notification to accept or decline their time. But a lot of times, people don't log via timesheet, they log via the task on a project. So if there was a way to approve or decline time when logged to a task that would be incredibly beneficial. As well, if someone backlogs into a previous day/month, or even in a task, it would be so helpful if we could be notified that action occurred for better employee tracking and accountability.

We have almost all of our data in one place. Hours logging, project tracking, invoicing. This saves time having to track it in different ways.

Simplicity, Flexibility, Ease of creating, accessing a working with my projects.

I use it everyday, on my phone and or Mac. Reports are just perfect forme. To be able to save filters and reuse my reports is awesome.

When, I first set it up, I took me less the 30 minutes to start to use it and then add the attributes I wanted as I went along. Eassier to integrate than Office 360.

I'd like to give a comment on tech support...but the app just works. The only time I needed to check on something I got a perfect reply super fast.

I haven't found anything yet to dislike!

One interface to make quotes, billing, payment follow-up, timesheet, Set-up projects, report on profitability and record payement, manage tasks. Basically, it replace an admin.

I've tried at least 35 project management programs, and NOTHING works as well as Avaza. You can build task inventory, easily create estimates, easily convert those estimates into tasks, convert the tasks into invoices, which you can then send to clients who can approve them in a second with one click. The navigation is completely intuitive; you never have to guess to get from one function to the other. And it integrates well with QuickBooks. We have been using it several years now and have not run into any show-stoppers (which always happened with the other programs). It has grown with us easily and we can't imagine using anything else.

Honestly, there hasn't been a downside. We ran into one restriction recently, but checked with support, and there was an easy way to get around it (sending invoices to someone who is in two different companies, which can happen when we are working with a company that has a division or affiliated company with the same accounts payable email address for both). You just have to type the addresses in the "to" file manually. If you consider that we have numerous people working on numerous projects every day, and that's about the biggest problem we've encountered, you know it's one great application. Highly recomended.

Just moving smoothly from estimate to tasks to invoices is wonderful. Information flows with little to no need to enter in any additional data for each new phase.

Avaza has reliable tools that helps my team to collaborate effectively when implementing projects. It provides secure conversation network that has enhanced close customer relations. There is increased production and less friction on task management with increased teamwork.

There are no potential negativities that could affect workflows. Everything has been running under the right path with stable Avaza services.

The smart product has been the core business orchestration platform for managing employee data. The automated system helps my team in tracking financial records and investment opportunities that can spur organization growth.

Avaza is streamlined, simple to use and accessible. Their invoicing system is easy and interfaces with Quickbooks properly to ensure our books are correct, which has been a problem with other systems. And their customer service team is incredible - I have brought them some complex problems, and they always go above and beyond to tackle and fix the issue quickly. They are patient, even when I ask ridiculously obvious questions, and are kind, dropping the tech jargon to simplify explanations. We tried multiple systems before we settled on Avaza, but their features and awesome help team won us over - and we're happy they did!

I dislike that when you search in external contacts, you have to spell the full name from the beginning; it would be nice to have a search system that pulls up the title with keywords.

We tried Avaza because we needed to upgrade our invoicing system, but we've since found that we use multiple other components of the software, like time tracking, expenses and reports.

Reporting is very powerful but for us as a business, the timesheet facility was the deciding factor. It has revolutionised the way we work

Compared to other systems I've used, some of the project management functionality is slightly limited. However, they are constantly improving and are very open to suggestions for improvement

Timesheet management, improvements to manual administration, project reporting and financial analysis

I spent hours trying to find the best time tracking and project management tool for our small consulting firm. There were no other services that met our needs except Avaza, and for the price, it was a win-win! We have so many different clients and projects we work on, and we need to really customize price rates, team member roles, project rates (hourly versus by project), invoices, etc. - Avaza lets us customize all of this. We love that we can invoice and run reports in Avaza. This was by far the best platform we found out there. Highly recommend it!!

The only thing we dislike is not being able to make invoices in there between our company and team members. We are a consulting firm, so we can make invoices to our clients... but when all the team members who are consultants add their hours in, they can make a report of all their hours, but it would be nice to be able to customize invoices for team members to bill us.

UPDATE: Avaza added a new feature that handles this concern, so at this point, we do not have any dislikes of Avaza. Thank you!

Helping us with project management and budgeting for the projects. It helps us see how much of the hours and/or budget is left compared to how far along to the project is actually completed. This helps a lot with out planning.

My team's experience with Avaza has only been positive. Not only is the price extremely competitive, but customer service is top-notch, the platform is user-friendly, and the PM abilities are exactly what my team was searching for.

1. Although the customer service team and our sales representative were helpful, the onboarding process was very hands-off with the Avaza team. Other platforms that we were exploring had designated team members to walk us through onboarding and customizing Avaza to fit our team's needs. Luckily, Avaza is simple to use (one of the biggest pulls for my team on our decision to sign on with Avaza), but we had to figure a lot of settings out for ourselves.

2. I haven't been able to fully nail down approval settings. It seems that a few expense and timesheet submissions are being sent to everyone on the team, and I haven't been able to figure out a way to stop this from happening - although, this may be user error. I would love to implement daily timesheet reminders for team members as well!

Expense/Budget tracking - the reporting abilities in Avaza are great! The resource booking feature has also been an added plus! It's a great all-in-one system that has allowed my team to better streamline our work.

The customer service was quick to respond and super helpful with answering all the questions I had.

Not much to dislike, it works well for our business model!

It keeps track of everyone's project tasks and time, so everything feels very organized and structured.
