Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

We use it across the entire Org. It addresses the concerns with our e-commerce based business and the management of certificates.

Pros

  • Housing of Certificates with Expiration Warnings
  • Automatic calculations of tax using predefined, up to date, tax tables

Cons

  • Lack of prompt support when needed
  • Lack of hands on implementation , we hired a team and expected them so say "Here is how it is best established for you company". That was not the case
  • This has established controls in our system saving numerous hours of auditing and comfortability around our tax calculations.
  • We were not given accurate pricing for our company's usage, and could not get a hold of our account manager for months at a time.
Once you understand how to navigate the software, you are able to find what you need efficiently.
N/A - We went with Avalara immediately.
