I like the combination of different features that is best needed for a freelancer, it simply contains invoicing, reminders, and projects/tasks, Very good way
I disliked that there is no proper deliverables list and reminders, which can be supplemented by another TODO app
simplifying the finances and follow-ups for a new freelancer
Ease of Onboarding. Timesheet entry. Support group very helpful. Configurability of system. Startup time was minimal. Customization of invoices was good. Clients have been eager to accept invitations and no complaints about file sharing.
Cost of integration with Quickbooks. Chat feature could be more robust and like an instant message feature. Could easily become full accounting system for professional services company by allowing full P&L.
Allowing clients to upload files. Time Tracking. Initial rollout has gone smoothly. Invoicing was easy to setup and use. Sending invoices went off without a problem.
This is the first Invoicing software i've found that works the way I do. Simple to populate, great looking invoicing, really in-depth reporting, and great customer support - can't fault it.
Had some trouble doing my initial import of historic data - quickly resolved by Avaza's help team.
Invoicing was always a pain, and setting new customers up successfully was particularly time consuming. Avaza makes that really easy, and has saved me a heap of time.
Think of Trello, Asana, Wave Invoicing and many others fused into one in an amazing way. Has everything I need to run my business.
Wish the UI was a little more modern, but excellent functionality and a great price offsets that.
Having it all in on place.
Honestly, this app is such a helpful way to clock in your work hours at the time you wish. I LOVE feeling like I'm in charge of my hours versus a punch in computer that could mess up your hours. I always get the amount of hours I truly work. I LOVE IT!!!
Really nothing- its pretty easy to understand!
It helps me with clocking in my hours, and benefits me in a way that I'm in charge of putting my actual time in, not a computer.
We now have an easy to use central location for Project Management and Time Tracking with workflow. Much better than separate systems like we had before. The ability to scale based on our project team size and all the underlying workflow functionality is very good.
Our primary object was to find a cloud application that was accessible by any device and could easily capture time against project tasks. Avaza has that and much more which has taken us time to explore and see how we can fit it in our workflows.
We tried many apps before Avaza and couldn't find one that had the functionality and ease of use that we wanted. Fortunately, we found Avaza and took to it very quickly. We were also very pleased with the integration with other apps we use making our overall processes more automated and seamless. An area I didn't think we would use much was Reports, but we've found it to be very helpful at getting snapshots of each project and all projects as a whole.
I love how streamlined everything is, and the entire package is very user friendly.
I wish that the platform had a way to create purchase orders.
This is helping me to stay organized and on top of my projects.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
