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!

For doing the historical data analysis, sap is the most convenient way to capture and collect whole bulk data, which makes the analysis so easy and quick. Apart from this, it links all updated costs with each part so that the most updated cost for the purchased part would be used to calculate the system cost.

Cons
  • 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 main collaboration function is in the form of discussion forums. Asset-editing a la Office365 or Google Docs would be welcome.
  • JAM has a mobile app, but not all user-generated content is automatically adapted for mobile-view.
  • Users have some control over their notifications by group, but there is a missing level of control that would benefit from.

Because it has been amazing and easy to work with.

We are moving toward other platforms that are meant more for virtual community, like Higher Logic. The customer support at SAP Jam is also lacking.

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

It's an integrated platform that brings together a lot of different people from across the association to work on shared projects, etc. Given the various roles people play and the varying skill sets they bring to the table, the platform is fairly intuitive to use and easy to navigate around

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

We have to submit requests multiple times to get a response and it often feels like they go into a black hole. Because we don't have anyone in house really supporting the back-end of the platform, we rely on SAP Jam's support and development teams to help solve problems and improve the platform for us.

Alternatives Considered
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 utilize many products in the SAP universe of solutions. Not only was JAM feature-rich and matched our company needs, but the tight integration with our other SAP product lines makes admin as well as usability seamless. While other competitors to JAM offer more features that rely on real-time, most of our use cases were asynchronous.

Return on Investment
  • Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.
Read full review
  • Connecting employees together across a disparate org is crucial and has a positive impact on productivity.
  • Allowing users to create their own groups shifts the power to the people who know what they need and can create instantly. In today's ever-narrowing sales cycle, this is crucial.
  • Mobile-friendly plus a native app is necessary as our direct & dealer channel sales teams are often on-the-go.
