Overall Satisfaction with Avalara

It's used by the tax department, and sometimes I have problems applying the code with the correct tax rate; also, I have trouble reconciling the tax liabilities with current period transactions.

Pros

  • It's very easy to use
  • The help desk is very knowledgeable and responsive
  • Not expensive and very adaptive to other applications

Cons

  • Monthly reconciliation with return when applying credits
  • Support of e-commerce in the future
  • Provide training courses
  • Save personnel in tax compliance
  • Provide educations to existing accounting staffs
  • NetSuite
  • Stripe
  • AWS
When we use ship to billing while CertCapture is based on billing.
Because it does save me a lot of time and provides very good data reporting.
  • Avalara Returns
  • CertCapture
  • Professional Services (nexus studies, registrations, backfiling, etc.)
We did benefit from those applications.
I am not an active user of Oracle so nothing to compare.
