I love the reporting features in Avature because there are so many customizable options to tailor to our clients' needs. It allows us to do advanced reporting back to our clients, which is essential for quarterly business reviews to track our performance, KPIs, and other metrics. Additionally, I appreciate that Avature keeps all of our clients' candidate data protected. The initial setup was very easy, and overall, we LOVE the product!

There seems to be a lot of restrictions within the platform that make tasks take longer. I wish there was more user functionality when it comes to workflow changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how customizable Avature is. It gives us the flexibility to adapt workflows, dashboards, and processes to fit our exact needs, rather than being stuck with rigid templates. That level of control makes it easy to support different teams and evolving requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is highly customizable, there are significant downstream impacts that aren’t always considered during configuration. When something breaks, it often creates a cascade of issues. For example, Avature was down for a few hours recently, which caused hundreds of failed integrations that we had to manually retrigger. Views and workflows also didn’t update automatically. Although we raised these issues with tech support, the response felt reactive rather than proactive—we were expected to identify all impacts ourselves.

Reporting is not user-friendly. There are very few out-of-the-box reports or lists, and we still can’t report on key metrics like time-to-fill, even though we’ve been live since March 2023.

Additionally, it would be extremely helpful if Avature provided a formal Knowledge Transfer (KT) guide. Currently, this does not exist, which makes it challenging for teams to share best practices and ensure smooth transitions when roles or responsibilities change. A structured KT guide could include documentation standards, workflows, and troubleshooting steps to reduce dependency on reactive support and improve overall efficiency.

What I like best about Avature is how flexible and customizable it is. I don’t feel locked into a fixed workflow, and it’s easy to adjust dashboards, reports, and pipelines to fit the way my team actually works. The CRM features are also very strong – it’s simple to keep track of candidate history, touchpoints, and long-term engagement, which is really helpful when managing larger talent pools. The search is fast and accurate, especially with advanced filters and Boolean, and overall the interface is clean and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Avature is that the system can feel a bit complex at the start. Since it’s so customizable, the learning curve is higher and new users need some time to get comfortable. At times, the reporting setup takes longer than expected, and certain tasks require extra clicks that could be more streamlined. Also, because of the wide range of features, occasional system slowdowns happen when handling very large data sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a highly robust tool that offers a wide range of features to support the entire end-to-end lifecycle of a new hire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't have the ability to update or configure anything ourselves, and support always takes a long time to respond. On top of that, every single change ends up costing too much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Avature is a robust platform that offers extensive options for customizing the candidate experience to suit specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product demands a targeted deployment approach that is action-oriented. It's important not to attempt to address every issue simultaneously. While Avature is capable of handling these challenges, doing so should not come at the cost of delaying adoption timelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
