Avaza Reviews & Product Details

Avaza has been a great fit for my consulting workflow. I’ve used it for over five years to manage time tracking, billing, and expenses across multiple clients, and the biggest hidden gem for me is how easy it is to enter hourly details and give clients visibility into exactly what I’m working on. That transparency makes billing cleaner and helps clients feel connected to the work without adding extra admin on my side.

I also appreciate the flexibility in invoicing and payments. Some clients pay by wire transfer, some by check, and having the option for credit card payments is a big plus for the clients who prefer that route. I also have monthly clients who request a set number of hours, and Avaza makes it easy to switch between clients and keep everything organized. It’s reliable, simple to use, and has become a core part of how I run my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area I’d like to see improved is expense documentation visibility for clients. When I upload receipt images for expenses, those backup images are not easily available for the client to download and review along with the invoice. Because of that, I usually have to send the receipts separately after billing, which creates extra manual work and adds another step for both sides. It would be much better if uploaded expense images could be shared directly with the customer as part of the billing package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Avaza for project management, managing lots of projects and tasks assigned by different team members. It helps me solve workflow problems and allocate resources within the design team when I get projects from various people in the marketing team. The initial setup is pretty easy and not a problem at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One important thing which I would want is that adding stakeholders within Avaza is a very complex thing, and you have to go into project settings and add one user at a time. I feel I should have an opportunity of adding multiple users inside the project setting in one go. Right now, I have to click one, save one, and then go back and then click the other person and save, and so that is a cumbersome process. And sometimes it's very irritating. This process somehow looks counterintuitive and lets me use more time than I would have wanted to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time tracking and billing features. I mainly use the platform to keep track on my working hours while keeping detailed records of my expenses and income. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When moving over all of my historical records from my previous provider, Avaza was unable to let me import my old payment records and mark them as paid. So now I have hundreds of old payments that still look like they are outstanding. Avaza is also (currently) not compatible with the UK’s Make Tax Digital scheme so it cannot communicate with the HMRC system directly which will soon be a legal requirement for self employed workers.

I personally think Avaza is straightforward and easy to use, which is a big plus for me. I love the time management features because they are easy to access, and I can enter time and track work in real time. I like that I can set alerts to see tasks or jobs coming up, and there's a handy feature to copy over recurring time like extended holidays or leaves. I also love the ability to chat with Avaza support quickly whenever needed. The team at Avaza is always responsive and quick to work on trying to meet our needs.

I urgently needed an export of all projects and their associated tasks regardless of task status, but the current report available in Avaza did not include the descriptions and notes that were created with the tasks. Please add descriptions and comments/notes to export reports. Make the ability to pin your often visited projects to the dashboard, especially if you are the project manager. Make the dashboard filter static so that it doesn't change each time you click on a project and your filters are still available when you come back from clicking on a project.

I like Avaza's ability to track more than 100 projects and generate a single report that lets me know which project is lagging, which is leading, and which is likely to have cost overruns. This feature helps me ensure my projects are running as per the schedule, and I can monitor whether consultants are working as per the hours allocated to them.

I would love to see Avaza being able to integrate with the Microsoft 365 environment, so that calendars created in 365 automatically sync up with Avaza. I understand there's a Google linkage, but I would request a Microsoft 365 linkage also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Avaza pretty simple to use, and I've been using it for about six years. It efficiently tracks if something's been paid, ensuring you don't pay things twice, like invoices, so you won't invoice a customer twice. It also helps keep things up to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connecting to Outlook would be great because I have to duplicate work to schedule meetings in my Avaza account. It would be good if they kind of spoke to each other since I've missed meetings before when only looking at my Avaza schedule and not my Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of useful features. One of the most useful is expense tracking. If the data is entered, we can track very closely job costs and profitability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Avaza does a lot more than I need it to do, and I often find it somewhat clunky, navigating around and doing what I need to do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Avaza's simplicity and intuitive user experience, which combines fantastic ease of use with powerful functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing that I dislike about Avaza. I would like some additional flexibility with it's standard reports, and also the addition of one more task level. I would also like the ability to create proposals and generate reports that allow free text input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It brings many features about project management into a single dashboard: time tracking, managing the project itself, and invoicing. All of them together in one place is good to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface looks outdated. Requires a lot of clicks. Not proper documentation either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Integration with Intuit QuickBooks and versatility of the platform

- World Class Customer Support (speaking with real humans, who are quick to respond and resolve issues is amazing) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Templates for invoices & estimates are not customizable (lack of personalization, limited sections, Terms & Conditions inclusion, etc.)

- Tasks with approved timesheets cannot be relocated to projects

- Schedule view is not convenient and does not integrate with Outlook (can't see consolidated month view, task notifications are not optimized for seamless communication as team members are not notified when a task is assigned to them, bulk editing limitations)

- Initial implementation and integration was difficult (required paid consultation)

- Projects can be overwhelming (too many tasks and sections)

- Reports don't always pull relevant data, and this is possibly due to our initial project setup and having done it incorrectly, as the platform is so complex with so many options that it can often be confusing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
