    I have not used or evaluated any other companies so I cannot compare.

    Chose CCH® SureTax®
    CCH SureTax is the only sales tax management system I have used. I participated in a few demos of newer systems but they were not trusted by the business.

    Chose CCH® SureTax®
    I currently use or have used the products above or versions of them - I use Rev.io the billing platform, not the PSA, I no longer use Sage 100, we are currently using Sage 300, more on the server version than the cloud version - but we have it configured to talk to both.
    So …

    100% better. Avalara is a self-starter kit where businesses are forced to create and develop their own bundles and product types. The support that you get from the AvaTax is not as user-friendly. SureTax is full of seasoned experts and full of industry leaders. Law firms that …

    Chose CCH® SureTax®
    In my opinion, both of those products are superior to Sure Tax and offer a far more robust system offering. That includes seeing tax rules and rates, running many different reports, and custom extract reporting.

    Chose CCH® SureTax®
    We used Avalara from 2007 through 2012. We had continual connection issues with their system going down at least once a month. When your sales tax system goes down, everything within your ERP that uses sales tax also goes down. We are constantly entering quotes, orders, …

    I think Avalara is who we will eventually move to. We originally selected CCH® SureTax® based on the price and this is where it got us.

    We researched them and had a few conversations because other areas of our company are using software from Avalara and we hoped to bundle but we couldn't meet their data deadlines at all so we had to keep looking around. There's really not much more I can say about it as that …

    We decided on SureTax because of some prior relationships our CEO had. The technical implementation team had a much better impression of the advice and explanations and guidance we received from Avalara

    Avalara is a big name but fall short of expectation their software, got the attitude that they don't care and would not see through the implementation stage. They are not good for new comers.

    CCH SureTax has better options for handling local sales tax jurisdictions including certificate management.

    CCH SureTax was more accurate and truly understood telecom tax and the challenges. This is still a newer item that Avalara is still developing.
