The most comprehensive free Project Management Tool I know

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I wanted to plan the founding process of my new agency and AVAZA helped me a lot with it.

Pros:

It's richness on features. Gantt-Charts, easy import and export of data, integrated time tracking.

Cons:

It's not as fast and beautiful as other tools.

Overall we would recommend Avaza. it is always improving and is flexible to be useful to any business

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall it has been a good project and timesheet tracking app for the company. i hope that they improve their phone version because this would be very helpful to get better notifications on phone etc.

Pros:

I like the flexibility of the product and the fact that they take things onboard that people comment and implement them eventually. The timesheets logging and connecting them to the project, the reports of profit and loss, etc.

Cons:

I dont like the fact that the chat feature keeps staff chats long after they have been archived. we have sent various comments about features that should not be too much to change to be done, and we havent received any updates. We also wanted as an example the quotes to have a code when you send the email to get the info of the total cost (without vat). this should be a simple copy of code of the total estimate (with vat) and just changing the section of where the info is collected.. this woould be a big help.

Functional but not a perfect fit

3.0 7 years ago

Pros:

I liked the clean structure of Avaza, and the budget features. It's a good option for a business who doesn't rely heavily on project management to drive their productivity. Their customer service was very helpful though when I was letting them know we were going in another direction and they genuinely seemed to want to know what was driving our decision.

Cons:

We run a marketing/PR based business, and we were looking for a one-stop-shop project management and back office system. While we knew that was a long shot, we tried Avaza for several months and even gave them a second go when our current system wasn't doing everything we needed as well. I would have liked to see Avaza have different dashboard customization views so we could tailor the system to be more project centered instead of a financial view upon logging in. Since we use a different billing and accounting software, this data on our dashboard would remain blank and the dashboard wouldn't even be utilized. Also by the time we added all of our employees and contractors to have timesheet accessibility, we would have been paying a lot more in extra monthly fees than we were looking to spend. It just started really adding up for us when other software companies offer these options within their pricing tiers.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your feedback. Avaza rolled out a fully customizable account dashboard some time back. User can add and remove dashboard widgets as they wish. We plan to add to the widget library over time. As for pricing, we believe Avaza is one of the most price competitive product in the market.

Great Project Management Tool To Get The Job Done

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Really good - the support on offer is first class, always fast and thorough. The reporting side is also really valuable and we plan to use that more as our needs grow.

Pros:

We've been using this for 6+ years now and love it. I'd tried a lot of other systems but this is easy to use across the team, easy to customise and whilst it's really good in terms of projects and task lists, it's invaluable in terms of managing resource and visually seeing what people are working on to help prioritise and get things done.

Cons:

Sub-tasks are a frustration - you can have them within tasks but it's very basic, you can't assign them or give them due dates. It's on the roadmap we hear so will be a welcome addition when it's in place.

Thank you for your loyalty and feedback! We’re thrilled that Avaza has been a reliable tool for your team over the past 6+ years, especially in managing resources and prioritizing tasks.

Avaza Just Right for Our Small But Mighty PR Firm

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Avaza was easy to implement into our public relations firm and provides the functionality we need including project management, time and expense tracking, invoicing, reporting and analysis — with many automation features that save time and increase productivity.

Pros:

Ease of use: well-designed interface; responsive customer service

Cons:

No major complaints; However adding the capability to model an engagement as a fixed monthly fee up to a set number of hours, with hours exceeding that fixed fee in a given month being counted as hourly, would be of value.

Avaza is definitely a one stop shop for projects

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Task inventory can be built, estimates can be made quickly, tasks can be created from estimates, and clients can approve bills in a snap after receiving them.

Pros:

Everything having to do with the financial status of a project, from invoices to accounts receivable and payable, can be generated with the help of this program.

Cons:

Some of the features I would expect from a project management system are missing. Nonetheless, they are always developing new features and listening to feedback.

Comments: Great, efficient and an easy to use system!

Pros:

The ease of use and tying all of our systems from invoicing the tracking time on jobs into one system.

Cons:

Its only a small thing but not being able to have duplicate contacts / emails against other company details.

Comments: Avaza has been a game changer we use it everyday and it suites our needs perfectly.

Pros:

I like the reports which are very helpful for project management, invoicing and tracking where we are at,with that we know at a glance our teams progress and any potential overages vs timelines,cost vs billables whereby with that information we can make the best decisions quickly and adjust where we seem to go wrong.

Cons:

There are just certain features that could be improved like being able to add recurring meetings to the team schedule.

Avaza is a great tool

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I find it easy to use and very comprehensive.

Pros:

I find it easy to use. I like how easy it is to set up projects and to invoice.

Cons:

Some things are restricted and it's hard to navigate for example deleting timesheets from past months and finding where issued invoices are held. Also, it doesn't show who deleted invoices.

Hi Cindy, Thank you for sharing your review! We're glad to hear Avaza makes project setup and invoicing easy for you. We understand that deleting data, like timesheets linked to invoices, can be complex. These restrictions help ensure that billable timesheets aren’t removed and invoice revenue remains accurate. All invoices are stored in the Invoices tab, and actions like deletions are tracked and viewable by account admins via the activity filter. Our support team would love to guide you further, please reach out to our support team at [email protected]!

An excellent, intuitive, and easy-to-use project & task management system

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Right from the outset, the sales process and demonstration walkthrough made the decision to migrate to Avaza easy. Avaza's importing process enabled us to export tasks from our old system and import into Avaza. Avaza's support is very responsive - and they've even made changes based on suggestions from me.

Pros:

I have used a raft of alternative task & project management SaaS (software as a service) solutions. Additionally, I have trialled around 15-20 different task & project management SaaS solutions. With out a doubt, Avaza is the best solution I have ever used; it is intuitive, easy-to-use, very responsive in speed, has a great smartPhone app to compliment the web-based system, it integrates with Xero (for accounts), and has a raft of sophisticated features and views (Kanban-styled boards, Gantt Charts, task lists, priority views, status views, etc, etc etc!). The features we don't as yet use include Estimate and Invoicing creation, but we may well move to using these too.

Cons:

A great SaaS solution and I think if I was to want to additional features added, then one would be chat integration (currently comments are available, but no chat). And the 2nd would be an enhanced file management facility, whereby you could upload to a File Repository/Folder, tag the image, assign it to a project, rename the virtual file name, and move it to another folder for housekeeping.

We use Avaza to track client billable time

4.0 last year

Comments: The intelligent product has been the primary data management and business orchestration platform. My staff is able to keep better tabs on financial data and chances for investment thanks to the computerized system.

Pros:

My team is able to cooperate more efficiently on projects because to Avaza's trustworthy tools. The network's secure chat features have helped businesses develop closer ties with their clients. When people are working together, they are able to accomplish more and have less problems with task management.

Cons:

There are no unfavorable aspects that could disrupt processes. With reliable Avaza services, everything has been proceeding as planned. There appears to be a variety of ways we can collect the data needed to foresee customer service workloads.

Excellent report generation, project management, and customer service

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It is practical, uncomplicated, tidy, and straightforward to use. The chat feature is excellent because it keeps everything in one location. The timesheets make it simple to keep track of estimates and assess how accurate you are now or have been in the past so that you can develop estimates that are more accurate going forward. For us, this function is fantastic.

Pros:

The reports are really useful for project management, billing, and keeping track of our location across the entire firm. We can immediately act on all the information and make decisions because we can see the status of each employee at a glance, as well as any potential overruns compared to timetables, costs, and chargeable. We can create tasks with Avaza, assign them to team members, and keep track of who has completed what. The software contains a chat room where everyone working on the project can discuss the work, as well as a calendar and Gantt chart for each project so we can view the status of all activities on one page.

Cons:

At this point, practically nothing. In the past week, I've tested around 8 different systems from other vendors, and this one is by far the finest and meets all the criteria. Alerts tailored to each activity would be quite useful. Additionally, the option to quickly assign time or projects to users on a daily basis rather than for the duration that the job is open would be useful.

New to Avaza and likely to stay

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: I’m quite pleased with Avaza. I switched over from Monday.com and of course the price here is so affordable, which is great since price is why we did not stay at Monday.com past their free trial. I remember thinking Avaza really wasn’t all that different in layout, which is a good thing, but it’s some of the extra features here and there that I need to learn more about as I continue to get comfortable with the site.

Pros:

Mostly being able to work with other people who aren’t with me physically. There’s a lot of details that can be involved and I’m still able to have others stay on the same page as me. Side note, so in love with the fact you guys have an app.

Cons:

I’m not sure if this is an option but a task prioritization feature is always helpful to me. There’s always something that needs to get done, but deciding what to get done first and being able to identify it quickly is important to me.

Feature rich project management and client billing solution

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

Many features for project management including custom tasks and timesheet categories to standardize information across users. The ability to section off portions of projects and bill for those sections specifically. Easy to use gantt charting. In application communication tools. In-depth custom reporting.

Cons:

At first the organization of information is a little confusing and people see it as cumbersome, but after some time its pretty easy. The reports are nice but they have so many options it takes some time to figure out what options will give you what you need. Single project quick view dashboard (time or $$ left in budget, items past due summary) not available, but can get there with custom reports once you figure out how to do it.

Delivering Client Projects Is Easy With Avaza

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Avaza is not overly complex, so it cannot accommodate really heavy projects with large teams or complexities. It does, though, provide amazing results for teams with a more direct approach to project delivery. I was able to implement its use in a software development firm that specialized in cloud applications. Specializing in Microsoft's online SharePoint environments, Avaza was the tool of choice to manage projects dealing with migrations and customization of such sites. It did include large projects and small ones, and managed time tracking for billing, as these were on an hourly basis. The features were just right. But because there was no custom coding and developing for which unit testing or QA department involvement, Avaza worked extremely well for them.

Pros:

Avaza has all the core functionality that lets any business successfully manage and deliver client projects. It is not just for development projects. It can be used in a wide array of industries because of this basic general core of features. For starters, Avaza manages contacts and distinguishes them between clients (external contacts) and team members. It uses this to connect projects to its clients and the resources that will be working on these projects. The roles for the contacts are manage in the contacts section as well, allowing the admin to connect just the right resources and the features they need. Adding projects is fairly simple, as well. Create a new project and allocate the client to it. That is it. Then add the necessary tasks for the project, allocating team members from the contact list. You can even group into sections that can represent milestones, features, epics, or any description that fits your project or organizational business needs. Project views can also be customized. You can view projects in a Kanban styled board, as a Gantt chart or even as a list. Team members track time against the tasks until completion and the process is quite simple and straightforward. Avaza also provides team scheduling and provides forecasting capabilities across one or more projects. You can also manage timesheets, expenses and recurring expenses for all the projects in Avaza. Avaza offers the capabilities of providing your clients with quotes or estimates for projects, as well as managing invoicing, recurring invoices, credit notes and payments. And you can track all the work via an extensive library of reports.

Cons:

Avaza is not a feature rich product for large enterprises or large projects with large teams, as these must track defects, reworks, testing and a host of other tasks that often have dependencies upon others. This is something Avaza does not manage and trying to track this level of effort is not something that can be done. So, this is definitely for smaller organizations or teams with basic projects.

Great project management tool

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: An intuitive project management tool that includes all of the important components of project management in a single interface. My experience so far has been very positive.

Pros:

Avaza makes it easy to collaborate on projects and tasks with clients and teammates. Especially, I appreciate the fact that notifications and messages are sent directly to my email. I like how easy it is to use. Our clients learn it quickly and enjoy working with it, so we can complete projects faster. The free plan is great as you can test out the service before buying and the pricing is also very reasonable.

Cons:

It is possible to issue invoices in one currency per client. I would like to send invoices to the same client in different currencies.

Awesome Value Robust Features

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall it is a GREAT value for the money, they are spot on with value/$. While I miss some of the enterprise level features that SmartSheets and their competitors offer, I find the variety and quick to implement features of AVAZA to be outstanding!

Pros:

The price point on this software is PERFECT for small startups, the support is included without heavy add on cost and the support is VERY GOOD, quick and EASY to understand!. Architecturally the layout is very nice, the user interface is easy to navigate and the color schema is pleasant. Working in the tool is mostly straightforward and easy to figure out without watching a ton of self help videos.

Cons:

The reporting tool could use a minor update to the user interface so things are a little easier to use, The collaboration features could also use an update to have some sort of chat like function making collaboration easier. Zapier connection is nice but seems to be picky, one of my zaps to create Avaza tasks works for everyone on the team except one person. Kind of weird but not critical.

Pros:

The ability to track time, manage tasks, and handle invoicing within a single platform is particularly useful. It streamlines workflow and improves efficiency by integrating various aspects of project management and client communication into one tool.

Cons:

One aspect I might find less appealing about Avaza is its user interface, which can be somewhat overwhelming for new users. The abundance of features and options might make it challenging to navigate and fully utilize all functionalities without a steep learning curve.

Avaza works great for law firms

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We have moved to Avaza from the model were we used much more expensive PM software and our own billing software. Super happy about having everyting in one place

Pros:

We were struggling to find a PM software that would have decent billing capabilites. In Avaza billing functionality is on par with dedicated billing services, furthermore it is fully adoptable to any language (i.e. we issue avaza invoices in lithuanian language)

Cons:

Time input could be easier, on the other hand, as vast majority of our projects are billed by fixed fee arrangements, the reason maybe be that we just didn't use it that much.

A simple and powerful client and project manager.

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: I just love the simple easy to setup approach. I can set up and start using the software within days, and there are no learning curves. I just used their project management and time tracking which is great. I can recommend my customer/user to use this service so they can simplify their task. I am still trying this and getting some awesome result.

Pros:

Simple and clean setup is what I can set up easily. I like the simple wizard just in front of me and all the process updates are in front of me. The UI is clear simple and just workes as they should be. I love the minimalistic and to the point menu of it. Menu structure is also just in front of me, no more finding or take a note for just a menu. And yes it really does what it tells even in the free plan it is so much initiative then others I have tried. Project management and Time tracking are what I use most of the time and just workes. I am happy that I gave this a try.

Cons:

Reports can be improved. I am not very comfortable with the report features. I just get confused and get lost with so much reporting options. Also, I think the report should be under every particular subject.

Best time tracking and invoice software for small consulting firm

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Avaza has made time tracking of team members and creating invoices much more efficient for us - before we were using Excel and manually making our invoices. We have been using Avaza for about 4 months now, and it has made tracking time so much easier. We now use the reporting function to make sure we are not going over the project's budget and hours.

Pros:

I searched through so many different software platforms to use for tracking time and doing invoices - this one could achieve everything our small consulting firm needed - everything can be customized - hourly rate versus project rate, you can change the info in the invoices pretty easily. Not only was Avaza the best price compared to all the other options, but it also had the best features for our company . You can also separate tracking time by client and by project - a feature needed as a consulting firm, but a feature

Cons:

I wish the reports could be a little bit more editable - adding in additional foot notes, because we invoice all of our clients in the system, but when consultants want to invoice our company to get paid, they have to create an invoice outside of the system.

It's not specific to Avaza, but in general, it's clunky to have so many different tools to chat through - sometimes it's easier to use a different chat or video to give feedback outside of Avaza, but it's nice to
