Compare Avaza with other popular tools in the same category.
Really easy to use and has so many features and reports. Very good price.
Can't say much bad about software at this price point that gives so much but the Gantt chart can be a bit more advanced. Risk and issue tracking would have been nice too.
Project & task management, time tracking and reporting, project reporting
I was able to consolidate Harvest and Basecamp in one easy application
Nothing yet. Still In the setup phase and importing previous client data
I no longer have to use 2 separate apps. I can do it all with Avaza
Avaza has a wide range of features I like, including their pricing structure. The user interface makes this product easy to use with little learning time. The reporting capabilities are amazing, with a very large collection of default reports. Plus, they offer a variety of filtering options for each of the reports. Being an cloud-based application also adds amazing value to the product. Time tracking is another very useful feature. It allows to enter estimates and actual times and run reports based off these numbers. Additionally, a timer is included, for those projects where every minute counts. The project management and time tracking closely integrates with its built-in invoicing capabilities, making this almost an all-in-one solution for managing and billing on projects.
The only thing I would like to see is the ability to assign multiple people to tasks for each project. For now, I simply create duplicate tasks when more than one person needs to engage with the same task... or add them as watchers. But despite this, the other benefits more than counter this.
Avaza is solving my project management needs. In an environment where 10+ simultaneous projects are active with a small team of shared resources, Avaza allows me to track the work for each project through its reporting mechanisms as well as flexibility in project views. I can view projects in list, Kanban and even Gantt chart views.
Avaza is so simple to use. Simply open the page and click start. It logs the hours and you can assign them to whichever project you are working on.
I think that a plugin would be the only improvement I would make.
Avaza provides me a simple, quick, and detailed way to log my hours. I work on multiple projects a day and Avaza makes it simple to divide my time between each and effectively log my hours.
Quoting - clients are able to accept the quote through the online link, then you can create a job from that accepted quote, right through to creating and sending the invoice (which integrates to Xero). Project Management - really easy to use. Allows for Trello style boards, as well as list view or schedule view. Great collaboration functions too
It needs to include Lead capturing and tracking to become full circle. Also, would be good to have a Contracts feature integrated
Time tracking, Job profit & loss Reducing time spent on quoting/invoicing
It is easy to track your hours at work and hours you spend on clients projects. Also easy to input tasks that need to be completed.
I do wish that you could break out time sheets versus time spent on client hours. They are totaled on the side so that sometimes gets confusing. I also wish when you clones tasks that it scheduled and repeated them the same as the one you cloned.
We solved having to do paper timesheet and we have the added benefit of keeping track of client time way easier.
I like that it seems to do everything all together in one neat little package. Both project management, time tracking, and invoicing... all at a great price!
Better tutorials... I wish it had video tutorials and overviews. I am much more of a visual learner. Though they did say that it is in the works.
Keeping things organized and tracking time and money. This has helped me a great deal in this department!
Finally a web application that suits my freelance business. Avaza allows me to monitor and manage my projects as well as invoice my clients.
There's a couple of things that need tweaking, however, Avaza have taken my feedback on board and I'm told these things will be addressed in future updates, so that is great.
Project and task management with invoicing and client contacts. A one stop web application for my freelance business.
I like the simplicity of adding projects, tasks and user assignment. The mobile app works fine, as well. I like to forward emails and that they get converted into tasks, files attached included.
No theme styles, I would like to change colors, upload my company's logo, etc.
My team's productivity is increasing. My bills are justified; my clients can prioritize better.
The time management and the detail on the daily activities in real time.
Sometimes it gets freeze while I'm updating my hours at the timesheets.
It helps me to improve the quality of my work and allows me to organize my time in order to be more efficient.
It helps me to organize my job schedule, I can coordinate my team and its duties. We can review the billing by client, and check each item to prepare the invoices.
I still do not know the whole tool, to give an opinion of improvement.
* I can review the duties of my team * Organizing the task management * I can review the time used in each activity * It is very useful to know the hours worked by client * It is useful to billing
Avanza helps me organize and control my daily tasks. Its a really cool app that helps all my team
The format is really bornig.. the design an color is ugly :( :(
Organize all my task and team work!!
Avaza is a brilliant combination of project management, time tracking, estimating, invoicing and payment portal. I can set up my projects with categorized tasks, track hours against tasks, approve timesheets (in a very Harvest-like interface) tracked by my team, then carry the information into an invoice. I can submit the invoice via email to any number of client contacts, and generate .pdfs as well. Once received, the invoice can optionally be paid via Paypal or Stripe. Other features include recurring invoices, and a great contact management setup that allows you to add sever contacts for client businesses and even allow them to collaborate on their project. There is a very limited template design area which I have yet to experiment with. Best of all, it's freemium, and an upgraded package is extremely affordable monthly payment.
There's nothing I'd like to put in this category as of yet, for the simple reason that every feature request I've submitted (rounding to the quarter hour, for instance) has been answered within 6 hours, and built within a week. This is an extremely capable team. Today I submitted a request for more robust invoice management tools and was contacted in 3 hours and told that 3 of my 6 ideas will be up for internal discussion. I hope these guys can keep up listening to clients like this.
I am managing a very small team of people through project, and of course as much as we like getting paid, we are terrible at the billing cycle. I could have sprung for a beefier system, but I found this to be accessible and very well built.
As a Manager who has Produced on Hollywood films and thousands of TV Productions, Azava is my choice for managing our entire Productions Management Process. It’s an all-in-one Cloud based software that we use all around the world for Production Planning, Management, Time sheeting and Invoicing. It give us everything we need from beginning to end. It’s amazing! Azava gives us every tool we need and ultimate control over managing our Production Planning and Workflow. It’s Cloud Based System allows us to plan and monitor: Tasks and their associated Budgeted vs Actual, Workflow , the Production Team and their timesheets. With the automated reporting system, it gives us and our clients instant overviews on where everything is at, at any one time. We can ultimately see in easy to understand diagrams and/or detailed figures, if we are on budget or running over. If a client asks for something new on a project, it’s added, clients can agree, it is tracked. This gives everyone involved ultimate transparency. When beginning any project through Azava, we can invite all team members and clients to work online around the world. Azava is super easy to use and it creates a transparent platform for anyone involved in one of our Productions, to monitor, communicate and to track tasks, time and expenses at any one time. Avaza’s software support is fantastic, training is wonderful , helpdesk are incredibly one the ball, and the software just keeps on getting better and growing with every update. The guys who created this software, know what they are doing, and are game changes.
To be honest I haven't come across anything we dislike yet. If we have need a new feature on Avaza, we have asked for it and its been added and/or the helpdesk team have provided a workaround for us.
As a Manager Azava is the ultimate tool for us to measure how well we are doing at any one time. Are we on track? Are we on budget? Its not up to the Producer to translate information for us anymore, with the right planning up front, the software does it for us along the whole way. One of the things I love about Azava as a Business Owner is; if one of my Producers are unavailable, it allows anyone to see where everything is at and pick up where they left off. If a team is behind in tasks, we can identify this Azava generated charts, literally child could understand, and we can see where we need to allocate staff and/or recourses.
Avaza combines all of the necessary tools for a scalable business into a neatly organized yet powerful platform. Whether it's building and sending estimates, customizing or automating invoices, or even filing expense reports: Avaza can do it, and it can do it well.
There has only been one aspect of Avaza that I dislike. The platform doesn't allow history to be changed; if a task was created and assigned to a close timesheet, the task is frozen in time and cannot be modified or deleted. History should consist of breadcrumbs that form a trail--it doesn't have to be locked in time.
I've been able to consolidate my business from dozens of spreadsheets to one neatly packed online dashboard. I can track sales, late payments, invoices, expenses, and timesheets all within one or two clicks. My team has been able to cut operational time and expenses.
I love that it’s been designed with such care. They founders clearly were trying to develop a product that they would want to use, and it’s perfect for most businesses!
Nothing. It has all the features I need and works great.
Needed to quickly track tasks, invoice clients and manage a small team. This has been the perfect tool for that.
The crispness and responsiveness of the interface. Each component of Avaza is a pleasure to use.
Having used other timesheet and invoicing systems there really isn't much to dislike about Avaza.
We need to be able to track tasks and time we spend on client projects. From both the web and mobile app we are able to easily invoice and keep track of payments.
Avaza is easy to use but offers powerful features. It’s been easy to onboard employees, and I love the time tracking feature that let’s us efficiently manage our HR.
They don’t have Gantt charts yet, although I believe this is a feature they plan to offer in the future.
We had trouble keeping track of tasks and employees time usage, as well as reporting on these things. Avaza has made this easy with its time tracking, invoicing, and project management modules.
It provides the expense management feature to track and monitor the project expense and bills along with the invoice generation feature. It provides a time-tracking feature to track the work hours of the team in the project.
The Customization option and feature it provide is limited and its integration is also complex.
It provides reporting and analytics features to get the proper insight of the team production and working hours which helps me to monitor and track the data properly and accurately. It provides a centralized collaboration feature to collaborate with members and work simultaneously and manage the project. its expense management feature helps to track the bills and charges on the project.
Automate team notifications to get crucial details entered on timesheets. Ability to add many organizations to the invoice. Quickly create tasks and move them around using drag and drop functionality. Billing and expense management. Scrum project burn charts. Cloud Accounting.
The system can be difficult to set up initially. It requires a good internet connection to work.
Go seamlessly from estimating to tasks and invoices. Information flows with little or no need to enter additional data for each new phase. It offers time and expense tracking as well as online payments directly from invoices.
Task organizer with excellent billing service to bill clients. Clean and intuitive dashboard that is very easy to navigate. Ability to switch from list view to Kanban and Gantt charts. Financial reports as well as project progress reports. Encourages better time management skills. File storage with unlimited storage capacity.
It is a fairly complex system, due to its multiple functions and tools. More introduction to the functions provided.
Project coordination and management, group chat, resource planning, time tracking, expense management, quoting and billing, all collectively or separately. Report generation function that provides daily and monthly figures with just a few clicks. Affordable prices and first class customer service.
The software allows to create invoices and all the accounting system of the project, online invoices, customized invoices, accounts receivable and payable and everything related to the economic performance of the projects. It also allows you to create financial reports, as well as project progress reports, to monitor the tasks being executed.
It is a rather complex system, due to its many functions and tools, as it was purchased for different departments to get the most out of such a complete software. The learning curve was slow, but we were all able to learn each tool, depending on the area and job position.
Without a doubt, Avaza is all in one. This software is useful for project management in all departments, both for monitoring and progress of activities, as well as to keep all the accounting of the project. Seeing the development and progress of the project from a single place, allows us to move forward more successfully in the tasks.
The integration and ease of use for my projects
Sometimes I wish the invoicing system had deposit feature
Project management.
I really enjoyed how simple it was to import our project and timesheet data into Avaza. Avaza has all the core functionality that lets any business successfully manage and deliver client projects. Mostly being able to work with other people who aren't with me physically.
The only thing that Avaza did not meet in my expectations was the ability to integrate timesheets with QuickBooks.
I really like the fact that you can find everything you need in one place. It's help me a lot to organize my time and save time as well. We are able to easily collaborate without clients and all information sits in a centralized space.
That it integrates with Xero and you can have automatic invoices sent off. It also has the ability to have a project for each client with multiple sections within for the direction items of the project
That is does not have a chrome extension to create tasks straight from emails or a desktop icon to instantly record times for tasks and projects. It would make it a lot faster to enter data
Solving the issue of multiple items in a project not getting lost or forgotten about. Benefits are the time saving ability for invoicing and capturing payments and hours tracked for clients
Ease of use. Virtually no learning curve.
Needs easier to create/read report sheets. They also need more widgets for the reports, particularly for profit/loss.
I've been using Avaza to manage my content writing team since 2016. Every year, they've made improvements to the user interface and the available features. Great service!
How quickly chat is able to connect me to someone to help with my problem
it takes a lot of "clicks" to get to certain aspects of projects and settings.
No general problems; benefits include tracking hours easily
Avaza has great tons of features that help me keep track of all my projects and tasks for it eliminates for me repetitive tasks therefore makes my management of projects and tasks effective.
So far my journey with Avaza has proven to be effective for I have not yet come across any cons, Avaza has fulfilled all my needs.
I use Avaza to help me keep track of all my tasks and projects as well as providing invoices and reports of undertaken works.
-User friendly -Easy to set up agents and external contacts for internal and external collaboration -Ability to track time spent on tasks and set task estimates -Easy resource scheduling - Advanced reporting features
Projects can only be tracked against either budget or hours. I would like to have the ability to track both. Limited Home Dashboard widgets
Project Management Resource scheduling Time tracking Reporting to share with clients and teams
All in one project management, timekeeping, invoicing, payments. It does everything I need so far!
I found the interface not as intuitive as I had hoped for. But Avaza pointed out to me how to use it in a way closer to what I wanted, so that was good. I would still say it's not quite as straightforward as it could be, but it works and I'm satisfied. I'm using Avaza mostly for timekeeping and invoicing, but it's more fully featured than this, which means it needs a certain level of complexity.
Does everything I need at the moment.
