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.

I like that Avaza is easy to use. It's good to see everything in one space and straightforward to add new projects, new resources, set up different charge rates for resources and projects, and report on progress. Avaza also helps us keep track of hours and understand which hours have been invoiced or not. It gives us a clear view of where we are on projects, the charge versus budget, and allows us to capture time-off hours for payroll processing. As a consulting company running multiple projects, Avaza makes it easy to see what each resource is working on, who is working on which projects, and which projects are generating the most revenue. The initial setup was also pretty easy; we could set up projects and resources incrementally, making it straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not really anything we particularly didn't like about Avaza. As a time keeping, project tracking and billing system it covered most bases for us. 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.

I find Avaza user friendly, which really helps with handling project management, time recording, expense recording, and billing. It has improved our organization, task allocation, and follow-up processes, especially when recording billable hours and invoicing. I also appreciate that Avaza helps us monitor the efficiency of our team's work. Setting up was very easy; we had an initial personal call with an assistant who gave us the intro and overview. Any problem we have faced was very efficiently solved either by their AI assistant or by human support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No shortcomings identified so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Avaza's reporting feature easy to use, and the timesheets are straightforward too. The ability to run timesheet reports is essential for invoicing our customers, which makes these features particularly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that Avaza has very little audit trail. If someone updates rates, we can't easily see who made the changes or when they were made. 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.
