Avaza vs. Emburse SpringAhead

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!

It's definitely well suited for all organizations with knowledge workers who use computers to do their work and are able to log in and enter their time on a regular basis. I've always had access to it as part of my job and love using SpringAhead. It may be less appropriate in a role where the worker does not have regular access to a computer to enter their hours digitally.

• Helps keep track of time spent on each project
• Helps employees break down their time spent throughout the day
• Encourages better time management skills

Incentivized

• Tracking Time Across Projects
• Tracking Time Across Pay Periods
• Dashboard view of time tracked weekly
• Easy Reporting Over Extended Timeperiod

Incentivized

• 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)

• The reporting is not perfect. When I am trying to find history for one person it is very cumbersome to get the info you need.
• At the current use there is no integration with an expense tracking tool. We had a separate app to track expenses vs. time.
• Only resources on the project can view time. External customers could not log in to see users' time against the project. Instead they waited for invoices or status reports.

Because it has been amazing and easy to work with.

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

We selected SpringAhead because of price and usability. This tool is easy to set up and configure. It is a cloud application allowing access from anywhere. There were no training requirements. When you have a small use case this tool is the way to go. We moved off SpringAhead to get more functionality and it has required a lot more training and effort to maintain and utilize

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

• They fit the purpose of time keeping and expense reports but it could always be a whole lot better
