Project Resource Scheduling is where Avaza earns its place in our delivery process. Before committing to a new project, we can see who actually has capacity, how much of the week is already reserved, and which recurring responsibilities are quietly consuming time outside the new estimate. Recurring Schedule Bookings have made that view much more realistic for production support, architecture reviews, on-call coverage, and maintenance that repeats every week or month. We can update a single occurrence, the remaining bookings, or the entire series, and Avaza shows how many reservations will change before we confirm anything. That detail matters because technical capacity is rarely as simple as checking whether someone has another large feature assigned. A senior engineer may look free in the backlog while two mornings are already blocked for support, another client expects a weekly architecture session, and several pull requests still need review. Once those commitments are visible in Team Schedule, capacity planning stops depending on who remembers the most context or happens to be online when the conversation starts.

The mobile experience is useful for checking a task, approving something, or logging time quickly, but I would not use it to rebalance capacity or review a project with a large task structure. Some parts of the interface also feel older than the rest of the product, and specific settings are not always where I expect them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to create tasks and keep all related screenshots, attachments and notes all in one place. It is also great to be able to track time spent on tasks for billing and estimating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The invoicing and accounting features are a little sparse. There is an invoicing section which seems to be lacking features to make it fully useful. I have not been able to find the estimating section. It would be good if it was linked to from the main menu. To replace the need for accounting software it would need to include more features typically found in accounting software like Wave. Integration to bank accounts to pull transactions would be a big one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 timesheet entry and the reporting engine—specifically the Staff Utilization and Timesheet Detail reports—are indispensable. The ability to set "zero-rate" billable categories to track effort without affecting the invoice amount has also been a very helpful workaround for our fixed-fee managed services.

I would love the ability to "hide" or "disable" specific timesheet categories within a project. For long-term support projects, the list of categories gets very long over time, and it would be great to declutter that view for our contractors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the amount of reporting options, and the API integrations allow me to run custom reports via Azure. It also just works, the system performs smoothly and the reporting processes large amounts of data easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to see more custom reporting options within the UI, having to create complex python scripts isn't always efficient. Possibly having an agentic AI helper would be good to answer coding questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Avaza for timesheets and invoicing, and I like that it's easy to use. The reports are good and easy to put together, which is really helpful for invoicing clients and doing payroll because I need accurate reports. I appreciate that Avaza enables me to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't always know who has made changes, and don't get notifications if a new category has been added. Sometimes when I do payroll and an employee is short on hours, it's because a new category has been added that they have booked time to. The pre-made report will not have this category on it, and if I'm not aware, I wouldn't know to add it in. It would be ideal if I could get a notification to let me know a new category has been added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Avaza's ability to export spreadsheets in a format that's ready to import into other project management activities. I also appreciate how easily I can report on people's time, which helps in managing our projects effectively. The initial setup of Avaza was very easy and made transitioning from our previous Excel-based processes smooth. Though we had to slightly adjust our processes, it's a fairly standard approach to project creation and tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could provide additional layers (a tree of layers) of task complexity. At the moment, there's only two layers. There's project, work package and then task. There's no ability to have subtasks in the project plan. Additionally editing timesheets can be tricky as it is necessary to go into the individual log in order to modify (which can take a lot of time). Timesheet templates (pre-prepared sets of tasks for a particular user) would also be a great time-saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Avaza’s user interface is quite simple and easy to use. It makes it straightforward to view the team schedule, tasks, and projects, and to assign bookings to the right people. Overall, it’s a good setup and quick for onboarding employees to timesheets and related workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main challenges I face with Avaza are the lack of connection between projects, tasks, and the team schedule. Without the ability to use dependencies on bookings, it increases admin time, and I feel this could be handled more easily—something other platforms seem to offer. Also, some limitations in what you can customise can make certain workflows trickier than they need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that all pages in Avaza are similar, making the learning curve linear. Once I complete one page, all of the modules are pretty much the same, which reduces learning time and eases implementation. The pricing plan is great because both small and large businesses can find a suitable plan. I love the interaction between modules, allowing me to prepare a quote, convert it into a project, then an invoice, and finally record it as a payment. It's straightforward to activate and work with different modules as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lately, they've blocked the ability to send emails for free plans. I really want them to enable it again because using the email form straight from Avaza speeds up processes. I feel like this change is their way to push people into a paid plan. If someone is comfortable with the free plan, I don't want the company to bother them and make life harder just to convert them into a paid customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
