Avaza vs. DeskTime

There are teams who work hard, and there are those who work smart. Avaza helps you be the latter--it's is a great tool for any team collaborating on several projects, especially multiple projects with a lot of simultaneously moving parts. It has just about everything you need - from team schedules to timesheets, down to the task and sub-task monitoring. The best part for me is that we can switch from List View to Kanban to Gantt charts!

I would say that a scenario where DeskTime is well suited is for personal use in a private business. DeskTime does exactly what it advertises, and it does it very well. However, I think there is a lot of potential for over-monitoring of your employees, or over-monitoring from high ups in larger companies. In a private business for personal use, you're only monitoring your own time management, so you can adjust as needed.

• I wish sub-tasks could also have due dates
• For really big projects, we hope there could be phases (aside from sections)
• In the chatbox, it would be great if photo attachments could be displayed as screenshots (instead of downloading the file)

• Potential to over-monitor employee time usage
• No task tracking feature
• Realization of own poor time management

Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

I've used Trello before, but Avaza has way more features and is more applicable for cross-team collaboration. We selected Avaza for it's ability to not only project manage, but also for invoicing, expenses and it's ability to track time. We've gotten more accurate with estimate project hours, and therefore create more accurate proposals

Desktime is the first time management software I have used.

• Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.
