Avaza vs eXo Platform: Which is a better fit?

Taryn F.: Hi, my name is Taryn. I'm a coach. I give Avaza a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. I moved over from using Harvest as a time tracker for entrepreneurs, and it was great because it had an extension, but what it didn't allow me to do was have multiple projects that I could time track for, without upgrading from the free option. So, I was looking for an option that would allow me to have four or more projects, from different companies that I could time track for as a free option. I did look at Hurdler as well, and it had limited features compared to Avaza. I ended up choosing Avaza because of mostly the time tracking feature was the most important and my number one priority, but I was also looking for a place where I could house my tasks and my expenses, where those would be tied back to individual projects. So, I currently have five projects, and all of those needed specialized invoicing, as well as I needed to have a way of tracking very particular names in different ways for each of the companies. Avaza allowed me to do that, and then also customize what each of those invoices looked like, since they were coming from different pieces of my own company. So, those were the main reasons that I ended up choosing Avaza over any other platform. Avaza's platform is highly intuitive, it's really easy to find your way around, which was great. I didn't need feature overload. There were a couple of nitpicky settings that I needed, because of the high customization of each of the invoicing, but I was able to find some videos on their website, where I was able to easily figure out the pieces that I needed, and adjust quickly. One thing that I would say about Avaza is that they don't have the Chrome extension. So, if you are looking for a platform that has the extension for you to be able to time track with, Avaza lives in its own tab. So, that was one thing that I did spend a lot of time looking to see if they had that feature, and they just do not. If you were considering using Avaza as a time tracking tool, to organize your tasks and invoice, it's a great all in one tool. But know that it's that. It does not go in depth with invoicing, not in depth with time tracking or with tasks. But if you don't need all the extra bells and whistles, Avaza is a great all-in-one tool. If you are nitpicky and need those features, then that's okay, but you might want to look elsewhere and have a different platform in mind. But my recommendation is that if you're a freelancer that has lots of projects going on at one time, and you need to get different companies all specialized or customized different types of invoicing and tracking features, then Avaza can do that just for you.
