Considered Both Products
Avaza
Chose Avaza
Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.
Chose Avaza
Avaza's time tracking capabilities are much more detailed than Upwork's. Upwork focuses on simplicity, using a simple on/off button and a spot for taking notes about each project, but Avaza gives you more to work with, allowing you to add detailed notes and specify tasks.
Chose Avaza
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 …
Chose Avaza
This is miles ahead of ActiveCollab. It has more features, the interface is easier to use and the invoicing is easier to use. Across the board better. We migrated from ActiveCollab, but that was just essentially a Fancier Wunderlist. If you just need one project and a few tasks …
Chose Avaza
I have not used any other products like Avaza.
Zoho Expense
Chose Zoho Expense
Zoho Expense is on the lower end with limited features however the cost out weights all the fancy features the others have. As they charge way to much and have limited return on investment. The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large …
Chose Zoho Expense
We selected (switched) to Zoho Expense because it had similar features at a lower price and we were able to receive a discount through our partner relationship with another software company. We have considered moving from Zoho Expense to something else recently due to …
Chose Zoho Expense
I've used Concur in the past for managing and submitting expenses. When comparing what I know about Zoho to Concur, Zoho seems to be a more simplified tool focused on simply managing expenses, inputting, tracking, submitting and getting reimbursed. Based on what I know, Zoho …
Chose Zoho Expense
I have only used Expensify before and it stacks up nicely to it. Expensify is probably a bit better, but it's also more expensive, especially if you already use other Zoho products.

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!

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

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

  • The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
  • Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

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)

  • Banking integration should be two ways, once corporate card is paid for, it should close the line item
  • Reports should be available on demand

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

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

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

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large scale operations. Zoho Expense is a great product

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.

  • It's included in our Zoho One Subscription which was cheaper than QuickBooks, and we now have so many more options at a much cheaper cost.
