Avaza vs. TaskRay

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!

TaskRay is well suited for any company looking to add structure and efficiency to their client onboarding system.

• Easy to Use - With a quick start walk through for any first time users, TaskRay quickly educates employees on the core functions.

• 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)

• During my use, I would at times get responsive issues in regards to tasks opening, editing task details, or moving from stage to stage. This didn't occur for quite some time until we started loading the system with extensive projects and hundreds of tasks to each project. While unfortunate to run into these performance issues, many applications run into similar issues when working many simultaneous tickets at the same time.
• Customization to the task layouts is a bit cumbersome.
• If you are running a lot of stages, 8 - 12, moving tasks from one side of the board to the other can take a little bit of work. At the time there were no quick close capabilities on the tasks to redirect the task to its final stage.

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

TaskRay is a simple solution to install and get moving with. Project creation, stage setup, and task creation are just a few great features that are simple to set up. Remedyforce & Service Manager are a more enterprise type application for more service desk type environments. JIRA is a highly used and close favorite with project management. At the end of the day, simplicity for setup and configuration as well as day to day usability went hands down to TaskRay over JIRA.

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

Incentivized

• The cost of TaskRay is much less than other project management solutions. Other solutions require you to upgrade for premium features such as Gantt charts or calendar views. It costs $21/month per user.
• They offer volume (number of users) discounts as well as contract length discounts.
